10 Best Rock Anthems
3. Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
A rocker's greatest dream is that of escape from the life they are living. Whether good, bad, or ugly, the need to find something greater than yourself is something synonymous with rock music. Thanks to one man from New Jersey, rock was given the road map as to how you could be living your life.
From the opening chord, "Born to Run" opens like a thunderstorm as the band amplifies the internal drama of the everyman's struggle. When Springsteen's lyrics come in, it was everything that you wanted to hear from your rock songwriter. Springsteen describes the struggle of how everyday life can make you suicidal and how you need to take your shot at glory while you're still young.
On the other hand, the song is also a love song as Wendy becomes the singer's comrade in arms as they search for life's meaning and if love is something otherworldly. No matter what type of rock music you listen to, "Born to Run" is something that will light a fire in you and make you feel the need to make your lfie greater than it is. After this song, it felt that things were going to be different.
