My Life In 35 Songs, Track 15: “Thunder Road” by Bruce Springsteen
Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night
Saturday, May 30, 2009: that was the last night I ever performed on my high school stage. By that point, I’d set foot on that stage countless times: for musicals and choir concerts, for performances in front of school district administrators, for so many hours of rehearsals and practices. It got to be the kind of thing that you experience so many times you start to take it for granted. And then, suddenly, that story was over, and I was trying to wrap my head around how the place that had made me into a musician was about to be in my rearview.
“It’s a town full of losers, I’m pulling out of here to win.”
Those were the last words I ever sang on that stage by myself. There were other words that I shared, singing in harmony with fellow classmates. But that line, the iconic sign-off of Bruce Springsteen’s greatest song, became my sign-off, at least for my musical journey at that school and, really, for my entire high school experience.
On paper, it’s an appropriate line for a big coming-of-age moment. Sequenced at the very top of 1975’s Born to Run, “Thunder Road” is the Boss’s bold, brash invitation for a girl to run away with him. “My car’s out back if you’re ready to take that long walk/From your front porch to my front seat,” he sings at one point. Later, as the song barrels into its final verse, Springsteen ups the stakes: this town is crawling with ghosts, and if you stay here, the promise of your youth will be spent; “Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet.” So get in the car, baby, and let’s drive. Let’s drive so fast and so far that they can’t possibly follow us. Let’s get out of this town and never, ever look back.

Sponsor: West Friends Release New Full Length
West Friends have released their new album, Junk Drawer, on all streaming platforms. The album is a marriage of the band’s pop-punk influences and crashes onto the scene with a gloriously loud, sarcastic, and secretly sentimental love letter to the pop-punk of our youth.
Jordan and Isaiah both grew up in the Pacific Northwest punk scene and cut their teeth in numerous bands touring basements, couches, and clubs across the west coast. While the theme (and sound) of the record play heavily on the nostalgia millennials all feel for the way things were, it also injects a new energy into the scene. With influences like Yellowcard, Four Year Strong, and blink-182 (of course), there’s bound to be a song on the record that reminds you of the sweaty, sun-burned mosh pits of the 2000’s Warped Tours.
Check it out on your favorite streaming platform and follow the band on Instagram or their website.
