Springsteen and Poe are literary homeboys, in two different art forms, on account they both disguise the overall message of much of their work. Worryin' about your little world fallin' apartĭancing In The Dark is for Springsteen what The Fall of the House of Usher was for Poe. Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight

There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help Also, many of you readers out there might even kill me.Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself Rating: I would HATE to dishonor this song by giving it anything less than 10. The song fades out at 03:45, and finally ends at 04:02. The vocals end here itself, and the rest is the instrumental bridge, spiced up with some jazz trumpet rifts in the middle. Then there’s the famous “Hey Baby!” at 03:21 (In the video, he spots Courtney Cox at this moment and calls out to her). This one’s a little longer than the previous ones, with “Even if we’re just dancing in the dark” looping five to six times in a row. The third chorus starts at 02:29, but this time there’s a slight change in the lyrics. The roughness in his voice accentuates the song a lot, making it sound even more sexier. Then at 01:50, there’s a slight change in the tempo, as Bruce ups his vocals a bit (Mind you, this is the third stanza). Anyways, the second chorus starts at 01:24, and the brief bridge follows suit. They (The stanza’s) are short, but man, do they pack a punch! He’s well known for his powerful lyrics too, after all. There’s a brief musical rift just after the chorus, before Bruce regains control over the song with his second stanza. The first chorus starts at 00:39 (You cant start a fire (X2) without a spark, even if we’re just dancing in the dark). The vocals are loud, husky and rough just perfect for a song like this. The effect and command he has on his songs just epic! It’s like he dominates the whole song by himself, and the rhythm is there just to ensure he doesn’t go off-track. When I say he’s got a superb voice, I really mean it. The beats of the song are VERY steady, and they don’t change their tempo even once throughout the whole song. The song starts with the synthesizer and the drum beats, kicking the tempo to a high level.

Sure, there are some quirky synthesizer rifts and jazz trumpets added to up the tempo, but that doesn’t mean it’s a pop song (Actually, many people say it’s a “Power Pop” song, but I beg to differ). Review: Let me tell you from the start itself, it’s a flat out awesome song. Now, “Dancing in the dark” has two meanings- One, it signifies sexual intercourse (“Dancing” in the dark, got it?) and Two, it means “Going somewhere without any clue” (Like “walking in the dark”, except he’s dancing because he’s got company!).

What it tries to convey to us: It’s probably about a man who “tired and bored” with himself, and is dying for some company, and he finally meets a girl who feels the same way. But still, for an audiophile, 3 seconds do count!) The Studio Version (The only version) of the song has a duration of 3 Minutes 59 Seconds (Quoted), but it’s actually 4 Minutes and 2 Seconds (Not much, I know. Talk about luck! Till date, she thanks Bruce Springsteen for getting her on stage to dance with him. Tour” in 1984-85, he randomly picked up a girl from the front rows, and it turned out be the 20 year old, future F.R.I.E.N.D.S star, Courtney Cox. During Bruce Springsteen’s “Born In The U.S.A. “Dancing In The Dark” was also his greatest selling song of all time, followed by “Born In The U.S.A.”. He experimented with some up- tempo synthesizer rifts and syncopation in his sound, and it did wonders to the song. This song was Springsteen’s first major hit, and it propelled him to fame. History: “Dancing In The Dark” is a song from Bruce Springsteen’s best-selling album of all time, “Born In The U.S.A.” (1984).
