"從心開始"這部片中
用了很多"工人皇帝"Bruce Springsteen布魯斯史普林斯汀的歌
片中說到的"The River"就是這首

介紹一下布魯斯史普林斯汀

?

生於1949年，是美國鄉村與搖滾的歌手、創作者與吉他手
Springsteen經常與E街樂團共同創作與巡迴演出
此外也以個人的身份或是與其它樂手聯袂演出
一方面明顯地受到埃爾維斯·普雷斯利、伍迪·格思里、皮特·西格、埃迪·科克倫與鮑勃·迪倫的影響
而另一方面也受到60年代以來的搖滾樂與節奏藍調的薰陶
斯普林斯廷的音樂也被稱作「heartland rock」
帶著流行的風味，詩人般的歌詞，與美國愛國主義情結
尤其是以他的家鄉新澤西為主軸來環繞
他對於表達一般中下階層民眾的生活
不僅是發自內心的誠懇
更有著悅耳動聽的旋律以及辛辣直截的批判
讓他得到了數座葛萊梅獎、一個奧斯卡小金人，並進入搖滾名人堂

他最著名的專輯《Born to Run》以及《Born in the U.S.A.》
恰如其份地說明了他透過歌曲企圖講述出一般民眾即使陷入在日常生活的困境時
心中仍舊可以高貴地面對，並解決它

他創作的歌詞時常是有關於經濟拮据的人們如何生存
他也日漸被激進政治支持者所認同
斯普林斯廷對於各是各樣的救濟活動皆不辭餘力
正像在911事件發生後，隨即發行專輯《The Rising》作為回應。

斯普林斯廷嘗試著創作出兼有商業取向的搖滾樂以及帶有諷世意味的鄉村音樂的作品
他的名聲遠播以及受人歡迎有一個很大的原因:
馬拉松式的演唱會--動輒超過四個小時
以無窮的活力貫串全場
無論是激情的情歌或者是讓歌迷瘋狂的名曲


The River

I come from down in valley
where mister when you're young
they bring you up to do
like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
we'd drive out of this valley
down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
and into the river we'd dive
oh down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
and for my nineteenth birthday
I got a union card and a wedding coat
we went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
no wedding day smiles
no walk down the aisle
no flowers
no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
and into the river we'd dive
oh down to the river we'd ride
I got a job working constrction
for the johnstown company
but lately there ain't been much work
on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
well mister they vanished right into the air
now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
at night on them banks I'd lie awake
and pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
is a dream a lie if it don't come true
or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
that sends me down to the river
tonight
Down to the river
My baby and I
oh down to the river we ride
