Of all the songs on Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, "She's the One" is far and away my favorite. For one thing, I love those piano arpeggios at the beginning; I would love to hear a hard rock band cover this song using guitars rather than piano. I also love the confession of surrender in the midst of the song; love renders us stupid, really, yet where would we be without a little stupid in life, right?
UPDATE: Oh, God. Doesn't it figure the day I point out one of my favorite Springsteen songs, David Brooks writes a fatuous piece on the same artist. This is the kind of thing that makes me want to not like Springsteen any more.
