About the song
A Night to Remember: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band in Dublin
If you’re a fan of classic rock, then you’ve undoubtedly heard the iconic anthem, “Dancing in the Dark.” This energetic and uplifting song has been a staple in Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band’s live performances for decades. However, there’s something truly special about the version performed in Dublin in 2024.
The Dublin concert was a highlight of Springsteen’s 2024 world tour, and for good reason. The atmosphere at Croke Park was electric, with tens of thousands of fans singing along to every word. Springsteen, ever the showman, fed off the crowd’s energy, delivering a performance that was both powerful and intimate.
“Dancing in the Dark” has always been a crowd-pleaser, but the Dublin rendition takes it to a whole new level. The song’s timeless message of hope and unity resonated deeply with the audience, creating a truly unforgettable moment. Springsteen’s raw vocals and the band’s tight musicianship combined to produce a sound that was both nostalgic and fresh.
What makes this performance so special? Perhaps it’s the way Springsteen connects with his audience, making each concert feel like a personal experience. Or maybe it’s the band’s ability to capture the energy of a live performance and translate it to a recorded format. Whatever the reason, there’s no denying the power of Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band – Dancing in the Dark – Dublin 2024.
If you’re looking for a musical experience that will lift your spirits and take you back to a simpler time, I highly recommend checking out this performance. It’s a testament to the enduring power of rock and roll, and a reminder that great music can bring people together.

Lyrics
I get up in the evenin’
And I ain’t got nothin’ to say
I come home in the mornin’
I go to bed feelin’ the same way
I ain’t nothin’ but tired
Man, I’m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
Messages keeps gettin’ clearer
Radio’s on and I’m movin’ ’round my place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain’t gettin’ nowhere
I’m just livin’ in a dump like this
There’s somethin’ happenin’ somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
You sit around gettin’ older
There’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me
I’ll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh’s on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they’ll be carvin’ you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I’m just about starvin’ tonight
I’m dyin’ for some action
I’m sick of sittin’ ’round here tryin’ to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
You can’t start a fire
Sittin’ ’round cryin’ over a broken heart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
You can’t start a fire
Worryin’ about your little world fallin’ apart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
Hey baby
