A double album that seals a memorable period for the songwriter from Freehold, New Jersey, a perfect summation of what he had expressed in previous works (from "The Wild, The Innocent and The E-Street Shuffle" to "Darkness on the Edge of Town" ) and from what would emerge in the following ones: the sense of impotence and defeat towards life, the regret in the face of a past that cannot be changed, but despite everything, despite the black wounds dug deep down by "Nebraska", despite the fear of the darkness that surrounds us, the hope placed in dance, in the ability to keep lit a small match in which to dream, even if shrunken by the cold and about to let go. All of Bruce Springsteen's poetics summarized here runs through the grooves of "The River", an atypical work for those times, so outdated in its eschewing of dark gothic influences and the paranoid electronics of a certain new wave to remain firmly attached to such a classic conception of rock not to age a single day. More than twenty years later, those who will have the opportunity to open this casket of wonders for the first time and feel its warmth, experience the ecstasy of fantasy in power, of the body in free and persuasive movement are to be envied , wrapped up in the catharsis of the dance. And moving in the shadow of a hope that never seems to fail, not even in the thickest darkness.
