I'm on Fire - Bruce Springsteen

I'd always thought this one was pretty well known, but over the past few weeks I've talked to a few people who had never heard this song before. In my opinion it is one of, if not the greatest Boss songs. Off of his born in the USA album, it was actually the fourth single. It is a very touching song and much less explosive as other songs on the album, but far more expressive in my opinion. A good trait of Springsteen's work is that it lends itself well to covers and this song took on a whole new meaning to me wen I saw it covered by just a female vocalist and piano and it was incredible. The lyrical sustenance of this song is amazing, and Weinbergs drumming really makes this song stand out to me. A true example of why he really is the Boss.
