Rock music can sound hopelessly naïve as one enters adulthood; songs become vehicles for nostalgic time travel. The genius of Tunnel of Love is that its themes have become more pertinent with time; adulthood is after all a process of accepting the absence of absolute certainty and Tunnel of Love is a record riddled with doubt and the impossibility of truly knowing oneself or those to whom we entrust our love: in the words of Brilliant Disguise: “God have mercy on the man who doubts what he’s sure of.” I know of no other album that has better captured the messy three dimensional reality of relationships.

Top three of Springsteen’s albums. Cathartic for me.
