One of the most iconic albums both of the 1970’s and of Bruce Springsteen’s career was his “Born To Run” album. This album portrays urban industrial life, building images both of the hardship and desperation of normal life, and of a promised freedom, found outside the city in empty highways and fast cars. This album and its representation of society echo many of the main tenets of transcendentalism, especially its aversion to society and desire to escape it. While this was most probably not intentional, the album’s message bears a remarkable similarity to the beliefs set forth in transcendentalist writing. Bruce Springsteen’s “Born To Run” album, while it is not directly transcendentalist, is motivated by the same dissatisfaction with the society, and advocates for the same departure from society. While the album was new and creative in many regards, the format of the album itself is exceedingly unimaginative. Most vinyl albums would have between eight and ten songs, with four or five per side. “Born To Run,” with eight songs total, was no exception. With this arrangement, the first songs of each side are, respectively, Thunder Road and Born to Run. In this format, these two songs are given the most emphasized positions on the album. Perhaps because of this, they are the two songs most indicative of the album’s message. Thunder Road describes the singer’s invitation to a woman, Mary, to drive away together on “thunder road.” In the song, society, and life within it, are described as broken, desperate, and decidedly unidealized. Mary, while she is described as “a vision” in the first lines, is later told, rather undiplomatically, “you ain’t a beauty, but, hey you’re all right.” Society waits for “a savior to rise from these streets,” but even Springsteen is “not a hero.” He and Mary have “one last chance to make it real” in a “town full of losers.” Society overall is portrayed as smothering, and hopeless, with escape to Thunder Road their last hope. Standing out from Springsteen’s unrelentingly bleak landscape is Thunder Road, the only thing idealized or glorified in the song. However, Thunder Road itself is left ambiguous. If it is a place, it is never specified, but it is described as “two lanes that will take anywhere”. However, the focus is not on Thunder Road as a place, but rather as an action or a state of being. They are leaving, not to reach a specific place, but rather “to case the promised land.” His deliberate imprecision makes his offer even more appealing to the audience, who can create Thunder Road in their mind as they wish. The other main song of the album is “Born to Run.” It gives the title to the album, and is one of Springsteen’s most famous songs. This song has a similar structure to “Thunder Road,” in that it describes the singer’s promise to a woman that they are “born to run” from all of the stifling influences of society. Society is described here as a “death trap,” that “rips the bones from your back.” He states that “ gotta get out while young.” Again, Springsteen promises that “we’re gonna get to that place/ where we really want to go.” Here he also chooses to make their final place of freedom as vague as possible. However, the song is still centered entirely around their escape from society. Transcendentalism was a literary movement that arose in the late 1800’s as a reaction to industrialization and the cultural and environmental changes that followed the industrial revolution. It had two main components: First, an aversion to the structure and institution of society, and second, a desire to leave society altogether, continuously traveling away from society into nature to try to escape its influence. This album parallels the argument made by transcendentalism in both of these respects. In both of the songs discussed above, the song begins by portraying society as smothering and painful. In these songs, society is described not only as unidealistic or unpleasant, but as deadly. In Thunder Road, they live in “a town full of losers,” while in Born to Run the town is a “suicide rap” that “rips the bones from your back.” Springsteen’s characters are trapped in a society that they find to be a “death trap,” and they look for escape through driving. Where transcendentalism looked for societal escape in nature, Springsteen looks for it in driving. Thunder Road is focused entirely on Springsteen’s offer of freedom, which he offers in the form of Thunder Road. They are driving “to case the promised land,” and to leave on “two lanes that will take anywhere.” Similarly, in Born to Run they ride at night through “mansions of glory,” and while the “highway is jammed with broken heroes,” they can escape because they are born to run. Beyond just wishing to leave, their aversion to society is fundamental and unchanging- they are “born to run” until they reach “that place where really want to go.” Springsteen’s word choice in “born to run” implies that they are different from the rest of society in a basic and innate way. In addition, it implies that they will continue running forever. In Thunder Road as well, the focus is not on the location and nature of Thunder Road as a destination, but instead on its characteristics as a means or process of escape. This parallels the transcendental idea that escape from society is found in the continuing act of leaving society, rather than reaching a specific place. Here, as in transcendentalism, society must be escaped in order for the individual to be happy, but for Springsteen his means of escaping society lies in driving away, rather than withdrawing to nature. One major criticism of transcendentalism is its sexism. Transcendentalism focuses on the manly virtues of the intrepid explorer of nature. Here the poet or speaker is obviously male, and has all the traits of traditional manly virtue. He brings the ideas of transcendentalism to those yet unenlightened, who are defined as those still stuck in the structure and institution of society. Women are left out of the image of the transcendentalist, and included only implicitly in those still trapped in society. This undercurrent is reflected in Springsteen’s portrayal of women in these two songs. In both songs Springsteen is the one with the knowledge of how to escape from society. The woman in both songs lacks character development, and occupies the more passive role- escape is offered to them, rather than vice versa. The image of the woman between the two songs is entirely interchangeable- the only difference between them is their names. All of the agency and wisdom is given to the speaker, while the woman’s role is simply to get into the passenger seat. While the “Born To Run” album was not produced as a work of transcendentalism, it shows many parallels to their arguments. In Springsteen’s case, the reaction is not against the industrialization of society, but rather against the structure and hierarchy of society. Escape is found through the items of industrialization that the original transcendentalists were trying to escape. The reaction is not against the technology associated with industrialization, but instead with the social arrangements that follow industrialization. Throughout his music, Springsteen deliberately chooses to portray blue-collar, working class life. Choosing to portray this section of society builds his argument against the hierarchy of society. More broadly however, the parallels between the two arguments show that the impulse to escape society is still attractive to many within society. However, the choice to run to mechanical escapes rather than natural ones could reflect that society as a whole is no longer uncomfortable with the idea of industrialization- society as a whole likes its mechanical comforts too much to try to return to an age without industrial technology. This shows that it is the effects of the order and structure of society, rather than the effect of technology, that make individual members of society wish to leave.

The screen door slams, Marys dress waves Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays Roy Orbisons singing for the lonely Hey, thats me and I want you only Dont turn me home again, I just cant face myself alone again Dont run back inside, darling, you know just what Im here for So youre scared and youre thinking that maybe we aint that young anymore Show a little faith, theres magic in the night You aint a beauty, but hey, youre alright Oh, and thats alright with me You can hide neath your covers and study your pain Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in vain For a savior to rise from these streets Well now, Im no hero, thats understood All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey, what else can we do now? Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair Well, the nights busted open, these two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real, to trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back, heavens waiting down on the tracks Oh, come take my hand Were riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road Oh, Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey, I know its late, we can make it if we run Oh, Thunder Road, sit tight Take hold, Thunder Road Well, I got this guitar and Ive learned how to make it talk And my cars out back if youre ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The doors open but the ride aint free And I know youre lonely for words that I aint spoken Tonight well be free, all the promises will be broken There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn, you hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch theyre gone on the wind So Mary climb in Its a town full of losers, Im pulling out of here to win

One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat And hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets With a love so hard and filled with defeat Running for our lives at night on them backstreets Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stocktons Wing Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring In the deep heart of the night to set us loose from everything To go running on the backstreets, running on the backstreets We swore wed live forever on the backstreets we take it together Endless juke joints and Valentino drag where dancers scraped the tears up off the street dressed down in rags Running into the darkness, some hurt bad some really dying At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying Blame it on the lies that killed us Blame it on the truth that ran us down You can blame it all on me Terry It dont matter to me now When the breakdown hit at midnight There was nothing left to say but I hated him and I hated you when you went away Laying here in the dark youre like an angel on my chest Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness Remember all the movies, Terry, wed go see Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be And after all this time to find were just like all the rest Stranded in the park and forced to confess To hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets We swore forever friends on the backstreets until the end Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets

Princess cards she sends me with her regards Barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted To her Cheshire smile. Ill stand on file, she’s all I ever wanted But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back You wouldnt even give me time to cover my tracks You said Heres your mirror and your ball and jacks But they’re not what I came for, and Im sure you see that too I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency And your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak Reveal yourself all now to me girl while youve got the strength to speak `Cause theyre waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask And dont call for your surgeon even he says its too late Its not your lungs this time, its your heart that holds your fate Don’t give me money, honey, I don’t want it back You and your pony face and your union jack Well take your local joker and teach him how to act I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked Didnt you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive You could laugh and cry in a single sound And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god? You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek They ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leach But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way Like a little girl with a traphy so soft to buy her way We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar Of some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore So you, left to find a better reason than the one we were living for And it’s not that nursery mouth I came back for Its not the way youre stretched out on the floor Cause I’ve broken all your windows and Ive rammed through all your doors And who am I to ask you to lick my sores? And you should know thats true I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency And your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free

The rangers had a homecoming in Harlem late last night And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine over the Jersey state line Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants Together they take a stab at romance and disappear down Flamingo Lane Well the Maximum Lawman run down Flamingo chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl And the kids round here look just like shadows always quiet, holding hands From the churches to the jails tonight all is silence in the world As we take our stand down in Jungleland The midnight gangs assembled and picked a rendezvous for the night Theyll meet `neath that giant Exxon sign that brings this fair city light Man theres an opera out on the Turnpike Theres a ballet being fought out in the alley Until the local cops, Cherry Tops, rips this holy night The streets alive as secret debts are paid Contacts made, they vanished unseen Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades hustling for the record machine The hungry and the hunted explode into rock n roll bands That face off against each other out in the street down in Jungleland In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage Inside the backstreet girls are dancing to the records that the D.J. plays Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners Desperate as the night moves on, just a look and a whisper, and theyre gone Beneath the city two hearts beat Soul engines running through a night so tender in a bedroom locked In whispers of soft refusal and then surrender in the tunnels uptown The Rats own dream guns him down as shots echo down them hallways in the night No one watches when the ambulance pulls away Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light Outside the streets on fire in a real death waltz Between flesh and whats fantasy and the poets down here Dont write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment And try to make an honest stand but they wind up wounded, not even dead Tonight in Jungleland

40 years ago, I was hustling with the E Street Band to Providence, Rhode Island for the first show of the Born To Run tour. That morning, we’d just completed the last of the mixes in New York, and exhausted but thankful to be out of the studio, we headed north, ready — we thought — for whatever this music was going to bring us. It brought us you and a conversation that continues to this day. I want to thank all the fans for making this music theirs and for celebrating this very special day with us! Oh… and happy birthday Born To Run! Bruce
