Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss," is an American singer-songwriter-performer who records and tours with the E Street Band. Springsteen is widely known for his brand of heartland rock, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered on his native New Jersey.
Springsteen's recordings have included both commercially accessible rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born in the U.S.A. and Born to Run, showcase a talent for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily American life; he has sold more than 65 million albums in the United States and more than 120 million worldwide and he has earned numerous awards for his work, including 21 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award. He is widely regarded by many as one of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century, and in 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him as the 23rd Greatest Artist of all time.
Springsteen was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, and spent his childhood and high school years in Freehold Borough. He lived on South Street in Freehold Borough and attended Freehold Borough High School. His father, Douglas Frederick Springsteen, was of Dutch and Irish ancestry and worked, among other vocations, as a bus driver, although he was frequently unemployed; his surname is Dutch for jump stone. His mother, Adele Ann (née Zerilli), was a legal secretary and was of Italian ancestry. His maternal grandfather was born in Vico Equense, a city near Naples. He has two younger sisters, Virginia and Pamela. Pamela had a brief film career, but left acting to pursue still photography full time; she took photos for the Human Touch and Lucky Town albums.

This time I'll try to love again
I'll never lose you my friend
I'll be there till the end
Forever
This time I'll take the happy pill
Chew off more than I can spill
Play until you stay forever
But nobody said it would be easy now
We live in a lucky town
But the foundations are shaking
The bridges are breaking in two
But nobody said it would be easy now
I don't want to let you down
But my heart is alight, it's alright
Cuz it's burning for you
And it burns right through
This time I'll try to make believe
Wear my heart upon my sleeve
Just take it when you leave
It's better
This time I'll be the better man
I know the world understand
Cuz greatness is overrated
You'll see
But nobody said it would be easy now
We live in a lucky town
But the foundations are shaking
The bridges are breaking in two
And nobody said it would be easy now
I don't want to let you down
But my heart is alight, it's alright
Cuz it's burning for you
Well this time I'll try to love again
This time I'll never lose you my friend
I'll stay until the end
For ever and ever and ever more
But nobody said it would be easy now
We live in a lucky town
But the foundations are shaking
The bridges are breaking in two
But nobody said it would be easy now
I don't want to let you down
But my heart is alight, it's alright
Cuz it's burning for you
But nobody said it would be easy now
We live in a lucky town
But my heart is on fire
The bridges are burning for you
But nobody said it would be easy now
I don't want to let you down
But my heart is alight, it's alright
Cuz it's burning for you
But nobody said it would be easy now
