| Born to Run (Music) | comment |
Born to Run is the third album by Bruce Springsteen, released in 1975. The album is very well-regarded for Springsteen's maturation in both lyrical content and musical style, and represents his breakthrough into the public consciousness. Among the first positive depictions of The American Dream in music, the album conjured a romantic vision of optimism and idealism in the wake of hard work and difficulty. The album's rich production and uplifting lyrics helped shape a mythos of American culture that resonated with a generation of Americans who were tired of social upheaval and pessimism toward political turmoil.However, during the production, Springsteen was fed up with his perceived inability to capture the sound he wanted, and he spent over a year in the recording studio trying to finalize his songs. The title track itself took six months to produce, and Springsteen did his best to create a "Wall of Sound" aesthetic similar to that of Phil Spector. He clashed with the members of his E Street Band and fired his producer and manager. However, positive reviews toward his live performances spurred him on, and Springsteen ultimately achieved the "majestic" sound that later made him an American icon.While numerous figures in the recording industry (all shamelessly promoted by his label, Columbia Records) pegged him as "the future of rock 'n roll," Springsteen himself hated the label and did his best to allow the hype to die down. Because of this, the singles "Born to Run" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" had modest success in terms of airplay. The album itself fared extremely well; it became a Cult Classic for many, especially among blue-collar, middle-class youth. It continued to garner further support over the years especially after Springsteen's future albums garnered acclaim and Born to Run was soon established as a seminal classic, with "Jungleland" and "Thunder Road" being standouts, among others.In 2003, it was inducted into the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important". With its vivid image of American values and optimism in the face of much discontent, the album loudly portrays vivacity and strength amid disillusionment and desperation. | |

I Can't Do This by Myself: "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" is a touching number about how Springsteen wouldn't be anywhere without his backing band, especially saxophonist Clarence Clemons (whom he refers to as "the Big Man" in the song). | |

Concept Album: A loose example. Springsteen intended the songs to take place over the course of a summer day with stories all across New Jersey. Thematically, the songs all deal with themes of escape to a better life, the American dream, and Rock N' Roll being a liberating force. | |

Working-Class Hero: This album solidified Springsteen's image as one, to the point where Columbia made sure to promote the label in various press releases so often that Springsteen himself was sick of it. "Night" is a good example, since it touches on the fact that the working poor need a release at the end of their shifts: | |

Nostalgia Filter: Born to Run has a contentious relationship with this, since on one hand it tends to romanticize escaping to a distant land; on the other, it does directly refer to problems plaguing the middle-to-lower-class such as gangs and drugs. | |

The Alleged Car | |
| Born to Run (Music) / int_f237981e | comment |
The Alleged Car: The Chevrolets in "Thunder Road" are burned out, which is why Springsteen urges the girl to go for a ride on his motorcycle. | |

Titled After the Song | |
| Born to Run (Music) / int_fcdf597b | comment |
Titled After the Song: "Thunder Road" is an inversion as it was named after the Robert Mitchum movie. Interestingly, Springsteen claims he hadn't seen the film at the time he wrote the song; he just found the poster inspiring. In turn, there was a Jim Cummings film, also titled Thunder Road, inspired by Springsteen's song, making for an interesting recursive case of this trope. | |
