The songs on 'Born to Run' tell stories about people who feel stuck, like being stuck in a boring classroom. They dream of escaping to exciting places, like driving on a super long highway to a new adventure. The music sounds like rock and roll, pop, and even a little bit of R&B.

Bruce Springsteen imagined all the songs happening during one long, amazing summer day and night. It's all about freedom and finding a better life, far away from where you are.
