Probably because King&#8217;s song is about a young adult&#8217;s last gasp of rebellion. In her lyrics, we hear her determination to stay young at heart, but it&#8217;s tinged with self-knowledge that she&#8217;s only delaying the inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>In the autumn of 1975, 26-year-old Bruce Springsteen was riding high for the first time.\u00a0<em>Born to Run<\/em> was a smash hit, and he was finally on the road to stardom. The attention was considerable, and Bruce had begun to rebel against it. For years to come, he&#8217;d resist playing increasingly larger venues and push back against his increasing hype.<\/p>\n<p>Fame and success came at a cost, and Bruce seemed to intuitively sense he was on the precipice of life changes. And besides, what rock star <em>doesn&#8217;t<\/em> suffer from Peter Pan syndrome at some point?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that&#8217;s why Bruce played &#8220;Goin&#8217; Back&#8221; throughout his stand at The Roxy that October. He debuted it on October 16th with its songwriter in the audience, and he played it five more times in the next three days.<\/p>\n<p>And then never again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"758\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bGlXR-H2IuM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Bruce&#8217;s arrangement was gorgeous and his vocals warm, longing, and impassioned.
