Bruce Springsteen on what music does for adults

By Rob Fletcher | Published: August 6, 2012

“For an adult, the world is constantly trying to clamp down on itself. Routine, responsibility, decay of institutions, corruption: this is all the world closing in. Music, when it’s really great, pries that…back open and lets people back in, it lets light in, and air in, and energy in, and sends people home with that and sends me back to the hotel with it. People carry that with them sometimes for a very long period of time.” – Bruce Springsteen

I know that feeling of the world closing in. I’m sure you do too. And I know that feeling that happens when I’m either listening or playing great music. It does let the air and light back in.

What’s your music today that keeps the world clamping down on you? What lets light, air, energy back in?
