Bruce Springsteen - High Hopes Lyrics






Monday mornin' runs to Sunday night
A scream slow me down before the new year dies
Won't take much to kill a lovin' smile
And every mother with a baby cryin' in her arms, singin'
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes

Yeah comin' from the city, comin' from the wild
I see a breathless army breakin' like a cloud
They're gonna smother love, they're gonna shoot your hopes
Before the meek inherit they'll learn to hate themselves
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes
Yeah, I got high hopes
Roy!
Got high hopes
Yeah, I got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes

Yeah so tell me someone now, what's the price
I wanna buy some time and maybe live my life
I wanna have a wife, I wanna have some kids
I wanna look in their eyes and know they'll stand a chance

Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
High hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
Yeah, I got high hopes
Break!
High hopes
I got high hopes
Yeah, I got high hopes
I got high hopes
Yiiii, (I got) high hopes
Yeah, high hopes
Whoa, high hopes
High hopes
Yeah, well, I got high hopes
Yiiii, got high hopes
Yeah, high hopes
Yeah, (I got) high hopes
Yeah, high hopes
Yeah, I got high hopes
High hopes

    Monday morning runs to Sunday night
    Screaming slow me down before the new year dies
    It won't take much to kill a lovin' smile

    Brucr Springsteen, you stole this from Tim Mc O'Connor. Aka #Ledfoot
    Anyway, his vertion of his song is so much better ✌

  5. I.... S....

    I was searching for high hopes from panic! at the disco. Somehow I was not dissapointed.

  6. N.... G....

    Never knew too much about the music of Springsteen, but got to say, I love this album 🎧👌🎼👏
    Down In The Hole IS awesome 🎸🥁😥

  16. D.... ....

    Just not as good as he used to be. The lyrics come across as something penned as a B side. I'm a longtime fan but this just isn't great 'Bruce'.

    all you "mister america"- the boss -bruce springsteen fans. you´ll have to cry. High Hopes was written by Tim Scott Mc Connell/the Havalinas in 1990. springsteen is the biggest fan of tims talent,said by himself. im not a bruce hater. i got the cds devils and dust and the pete seeger sessions and i dont know much more than this,exept the hits. without a doubt,he´s a great musican ..but i dont like to see him wearing the american flag in the most of his concerts. i got this bitter feeling its a little opportunism and not patriotism. BUT!, maybe im wrong. BUT... its a place for music here,not politic. so,even if you missunderstood or hate me...one tip : listen to the songs of Tim. he played and released it under the name LEDFOOT !!! for example the song AS I AM... HIGH HOPES...COLD LIGHT OF DAY.........enoy..

  26. C.... R....

    Soberanamente perrona

  27. A.... ....

    The Good Wife!

  28. H.... P....

    Havalinas!

    H.... P....

  35. �.... �....

    its not a cover from havalinas???

  36. V.... P....

    Let's hope his new album is a lot more interesting than Wrecking Ball and High Hopes, most of which is mediocrity.

  37. B.... P....

    ¿Quién nos impide seguir teniendo grandes esperanzas? Como dice Bruce Springsteen en su disco High Hopes (Altas Esperanzas). El álbum del Boss, el decimoctavo de su carrera incluirá, junto a Springsteen, a los miembros del grupo E Street Band, y al guitarrista Tom Morello. Feliz día lleno de esperanzas!!

  38. F.... C....

    All the things you ask, JESUS will give you!!!!! HIG HOPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. V.... P....

    There are two Springsteen's the guy who was truly great till Tunnel Of Love and the guy afterward who is not even close. 3'4 of the songs on High Hopes, including this would never been released prior to TOL. Many of his unreleased songs at least 3 dozen or so at the time ,beat the hell out of High Hopes.

  40. M.... I....

    KLASIK NOVIJEG VREMENA,BRUCE KRALJ PARDON BOSS!!

  58. s.... o....

    Good rhythm, good recording, but.. doesn't it sound like "Hot stuff" by Donna Summer?

    s.... o....

    @Ian Friedman Still one of the best 6 or 7 Springsteen's songs.

  59. L.... S....

    good vibrations

  60. A.... M....

    WE ARE THE HOMELESS

    A.... M....

    +Adameeze Nope, it says "ARM THE HOMELESS".

    A.... M....

    Yoan haha thanks for the correction. Classic 7th grade me....

  61. s.... y....

    if you don't come to my country, we will continue to listen to cosplay songs without high hopes.

  62. m.... ....

    nice :)

  63. A.... L....

    very beautiful

  64. S.... P....

    Love this song and message. You can watch our cover on this channel ;)

    S.... P....

    listen to the original featured in the 1980s Neo Noir slamdance.

  65. j.... ....

    The original is much better

    Tim Scott McConnell wrote the song and sings it much better

    j.... ....

    fuck yeah. though most ppl mean from Havalinas, but I heard it first from Slam Dance, one of the most underrated soundtracks of all time, I might upload it.

  66. J.... G....

    mr nolan

  67. P.... L....

    This song holds up. We in Asbury Park continue to salute you!

  68. D.... K....

    Original is from 1987: https://youtu.be/-V65TfaiYaw

    I think Bruce has dementia.  His tax lawyers and accountants are writing his news songs.

    @Steven Campbell
    Wrecking Ball an amazing album???
    Mediocre on its best day (and that is generous)
    We Take Care of Our Own (passable at best)
    Easy Money (dreadful)
    Shackled and Drawn (even worse)
    Jack of All Trades (so bad its funny)
    Death to My Hometown (lame)
    The Depression (bad)
    Wrecking Ball (bad)
    You've Got It (no it doesn't!!!)
    Rocky Ground (so bad it's funny)
    Land of Hope and Dreams (best track but far from a gem)
    The rest... crap.

    d.... l....

    +david letterman Each to its own. I thought Death To My Hometown was one of his best ever. What's your favourite Springsteen album?

    d.... l....

    @Steven Campbell
    All of the albums before Born in the USA
    are damn near perfect.
    In my humble opinion, the first album (Greeting from...) was his best, and each album after that is a slow march downhill.
    But the degradation is minimal enough from album to album. So The River is still an amazing album filled with gems.
    Born in the USA is still a terrific album, but it's a drop off from the others for two crucial reasons:
    1) lyrically the album doesn't have the poetry that the others have
    2) musically, Bruce stopped taking breaking ground; each song is completely cookie cutter in form (verse chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus).

    Sadly, the lyrical and musical blandness that began with Born in the USA would just be the beginning of Bruce's fall from brilliance to mainstream commercial recording artist. The only break in that trend would be The Rising, the only post 9/11 album that can be considered a great album.

    Bruce had no greater fan then me.
    I still love the early music, and there are one off gems like Radio Nowhere on the later day albums that recall the early days.
    But Bruce is largely spent.
    He is scraping by.
    Lyrically he is spent.
    Musically he peaked with Born to Run.
    That was the last time he took any real chances and broke a major sweat.

    I know it sounds like I am being tough on Bruce, but I am just being honest.
    I am sure there are many die hard Bruce fans who share my views.

    If you want to see quickly and in the most brazen terms how much Bruce has fallen, listen to Lost in the Flood and then Harry's Place...

    If that doesn't completely depress you, compare New York City Serenade to Rocky Ground

    All I can say is - WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

    d.... l....

    +david letterman I love Greetings from Asbury and Nebraska probably his two best albums but you have to admit his live shows are still better than any other artist working today and I thought Devil and Dust was great. Also his new solo album is intriguing.

    d.... l....

    @Steven Campbell
    Yes, his live shows are still great. BUT COMPARE HIS LIVE SHOWS OVER THE LAST DECADE TO HAMMERSMITH ODEON, LONDON '75.
    That is one of the greatest concerts ever recorded. NO JOKE.
    Bruce and the E Street Band were on the high wire from beginning to end. They left it all out on the stage that night. They took real risks with no safety harnesses. Those early shows were unpredictable and organic. You never knew what would happen. Anything could happen.
    Now, the live shows could be produced by Disney. You get a decent formulaic show that he puts on city to city with basically no changes, no risks. What you get in San Diego in Sep. is what you largely get in Boston in May.
    Frankly, I am amazed he isn't bored out of his mind and the band doesn't read him the riot act. But they don't because he controls the purse strings. Bruce is a tough boss. And they don't want to get fired again.

    Also, do you have SPOTIFY. IF NOT DOWNLOAD THE FREE VERSION ASAP. AMAZING. LISTENING TO BRUCE, THANKS TO YOU, RIGHT NOW.

  70. d.... l....

    High Hopes (song and album) is Exhibit A in the Sad Decline and Fall of Bruce Springsteen.  God rest his soul.

  71. T.... D....

    Odlična stvar...tjera te da ju ponavljaš i ponavljaš .. :))

  72. A.... C....

    Does remind me a bit of the newest Charlie and the chocolate film.......but still a great song.

  73. A.... S....

    Thanks Boss, they just can't take my High Hopes

  74. a.... b....

    suuupeer 

  75. M.... T....

    One of the best lines of lyrics ever written - "Give a soul a night of fearless sleep"

  76. P.... E....

     
    *Being thinking creatures is just a small difference, but it can make all the difference if we use it and learn the truth about Life & Death.* To Know It, Google: _TruthContest_
     

    P.... E....

    I agree with that. I'll check it out. People need the truth, whatever it is, wherever it's hiding.

    P.... E....

    Right on my brother.

  77. L.... O....

    Let's get our hopes up!

  78. R.... C....

    I love you i ,m a yout fan i love your song and i happy when i listen you

  79. �.... ....

    I hope that BOSS comes to Japan
    My hope is that BOSS comes to Japan!

  80. I.... T....

    Looks a lot like the sound of Chico Science From Brazil... I like it

  81. R.... V....

    THERE IS ONLY ONE BOSS!!!

  82. L.... C....

    Well I use too....hard to be hopeful when you keep getting burned.

  83. a.... ....

    He's really the fucking BOSS

  84. P.... I....

    Grande Bruce, come sempre

  85. �.... ....

    さすが
    年とっても
    相変わらず
    力強くていいですな

  86. t.... ....

    This song blows

  87. M.... U....

    Happy Birthday Bruce!!! Thanx for being an inspiration 🎂 ❤️

  88. A.... ....

    Another crappy Springsteen album full of his tired cliché's. Bob Dylan "heir" hasn't put out a solid album since Magic.

    A.... ....

    True, but take a look at the last four.  I guess that's why he's going to milk the River now.

  89. z.... g....

    i got high hopes. free palestine!

    z.... g....

    It will never happen. Not until they free them self's! Not until they stop choosing ex militant terror supporting "president" and other ex-children killing figures to speak in their behalf. Not until they stop support and going blindly with the Hamas regime in Gaza that was given so many by their "enemy" and promised so much to their people and failed them time after time by engaging useless yearByYear conflict that hurt only their people, and begging money from the ignorant heads of Europe for money in the excuse for humanity and tunneling this money for war effort, rocket that hitting not army bases but civilian towns and cities, schools and beaches and tunnels underneath kindergardens.
    Not until they truly realized that than decades longing conflict only working for the goodness and behalf of their lobbyist and head's of state that living in enormous villas and driving luxuries cars.
    And please don't be CNN head titles blind believer. Check the facts your self.
    Check the CampDavid talks from 2000, check what happens in 2004 and what was given. Check 2005, 2006,2007,2008 what happens and why what was given and what came from it. Don't be a tack a side until you know al. The facts and happenings that led to what is today.

    z.... g....

    it might happen 1 day though

    z.... g....

    Just how much toilet paper did you use to pull THAT nonsense outta your sphincter?! LOL

  90. E.... S....

    Adorei o Bruce quando veio a Portugal foi um espectáculo memorável

  91. f.... f....

    Rhythm: Mangue beat !

  92. d.... r....

    geeft weer sterkte . thanks BOSS

  93. C.... M....

    Tom Morello!! With Springsteen fucking awesome!!!

  94. M.... ....

    Beautiful & Useless ...CPY PSTE YUTUBE.

  95. v.... ....

    wow, nice!

  96. E.... P....

    thanks bruce 

  97. S.... ....

    Cool gast

  98. j.... ....

    Gotta love the Boss, but he's gotten very political and depressing in some of his songs, kinda scaring me

    j.... ....

    I agree his music has gotten kind of political and some very religious or maybe perhaps boring but he is ansolutely right and sings from the heart and sadly many people can relate

  99. v.... ....

    Nice piece of music but i would rather take the other "High hopes" and day.., Pink Floyd ofcourse.
