This song is really weak. It falls into the repetive framing of songs , which is familiar to all of his newere work. Just keep repeating the same phrase again and again.
This could be the time for Bruce to cash in his chips.

This newest song that I will try my very best to wear completely out is probably the most sonically pleasing song Bruce has put out since the outtake "30 Days Out" in 1992. The music is melodic, vibrant, and driving. I'm very pleased Bruce has stepped back into driving rock and roll and away from the reflective, let's grow old together ballads of the last record. As with any Bruce song from hear onward, what a loss that the Big Man couldn't add his touch to it. But, we go on forward!

Only Bruce can throw out some seemingly simplistic lyrics to a driving, rocking beat and in 3 minutes and 54 seconds, say so much about the state of our country only to have it misunderstood as some patriotic anthem, ala Born in the USA. No wonder he is and will always be The Boss!! You can almost hear Clarence there at the end. His spirit is definitely present! I can't wait to hear the rest of this album! My three year old grandson loves it too. He kept starting it over! We rocked it hard about six times until Papa ran out of gas! Bruuuuuuuuuuce!!!!!!!

It has beena bit rough to listen to Bruce Springsteen, since the tragic death last year of Clarence Clemons, his friend and E Street Band musician. Yet, Bruce and the band had the courage to soldier on and make new music. We Take Care Of Our Own, Bruce's lastest song, from his upcoming record Wrecking Ball isn't a bad song. While it does have the musicianship of The E Street Band strongly in the soul of the song, it could've brought out a bit more vocally from Bruce himself. Still, it is honestly a better song than what is playing on radio right now, and I hope there is a bit more to rock on from Bruce, when his record comes alive in March.

Song: B-

I love Bruce, but I'd really like a rock n roll record, He hasnt really made a rock n roll record since
Born In The USA. This is pop music, and it's an enojoyable track(more so than a great song) but I support my boy
on his mission to make relavent music.

On Radio Nowhere he wrote "I want a thousand guitars. I want pounding drums" So Do I Bruce!

It's different, it's cool, but it aint rock n roll.

Maybe the rest of the album will surprise me.

It's still better than most of what u hear on the radio today though!

Reading the lyrics, the title song has some ambiguity in its words - 'we take care of our own'. Is this a reference to Bush and his cronies? bankers and bean counters? Troops? or the working/not working man struggling to get by on a daily basis who looks to family for support?

I'm looking forward to hearing this life and can picture Bruce and Steve sharing the mic on the refrain. It would fit into a three/four song mix with Last to Die/The Rising/Badlands (and of course many others).

Rock on Bruce!

Like a lot of new Springsteen, I'm sure it will grow on me. He clearly has a lot to say on the new album. Like some of the new sounds and the energy. Check it out!!

I'm 52. Seen Bruce seven or eight times..probably the best seven or eight concerts I've seen, out of hundreds. LOVE the band's stuff. This song and lately ALL his stuff has been crying about how the government doesn't do enough, how we should give more. Well, Bruce charity starts at home. All you see in this new video is a sad 62 year old man with a full head of VERY black hair with close-ups of his boots, his ear and it's all about him. We get it Bruce, you care about the little guy. Well, do something about it. Churches and God are much more equipped than the government you so rail against to do things for people. BUUUT, it's all about Bruce. And if they go on tour without Clarence, well, they've has been irrelevant to me for over two decades so be it. BYE BYE BRUUUUCE!
