Born to Run

Born to Run wasn't just a single - it was a six-month standoff between Bruce Springsteen and his own ambition.

His first two albums had gone nowhere, and Columbia Records was reportedly losing patience. So he spent months on the title track alone, chasing a wall of sound he couldn't quite hear yet, betting an entire career on one song landing right.

Which part still gets you - the highway, or the promise underneath it?
