#THE E STREET SHUFFLE E STREET RADIO SERIES#

That first couplet is especially clever: The dead dial belongs to both a radio and rotary telephone the lost number belongs to both a bygone favorite radio station and an ex-lover or friend. There’s a lot of songwriting artistry at work here, however, and it’s worth taking a moment to admire it. I love this verse, because it’s deceptive in its pop simplicity. Just searching for a world with some soul It’s a farcical if not rhetorical question, and we recognize it for what it is: a demand for us to do our part and match his investment in the moment.īut in this song, it’s a desperate and lonely plaint: I’m alone. Springsteen fans recognize the chorus on first listen with a thrill: it’s the phrase Bruce often yells in concert when he wants to dial his audience engagement up to twelve. This is radio nowhere, is there anybody alive out there? That voice in your head that sabotages your relationships. That drone could be the indistinguishable sameness of modern music. My money’s on all of the above (Bruce has mined those themes before and since), but one thing’s for certain: our narrator is lost and lonely. Like many of Bruce’s best songs, “Radio Nowhere” operates on multiple levels simultaneously: Is our hero a once-popular musician abandoned by modern audiences? Or perhaps an aging music lover out of step with modern tastes? A pundit warning us of the danger posed by technology to our societal bonds? An ex-lover unable to move past a messy break-up? Or maybe someone suffering from depression, detached and self-distanced from his friends and family? Although our narrator is searching for his way home, there’s nothing in the song (save for a single line in the last verse) that implies driving. “Radio Nowhere” is often described as a road song, but I think that’s the result of a superficial listen.

The first and most important thing we learn about our narrator is that he’s lost. Thanks to all those Shufflers who have supported us, partied with us, sang with us, danced with us and believed in the magic of rock n’ roll with us over the years.Because if the chorus of “Radio Nowhere” is about connection, its verses are about alienation.
