This Springsteen video directed by Meiert Avis tries to match some of the boss lyrics while addressing the rocky ways of love through the
metaphors of circus attractions and the tunnel of love. It's a very obscure, dark video with many edgy effects that becomes spooky and weird
as the circus perform appear here and there, while the boss performs the song inside of an abandoned scenario. If compared with the video from
his previous album "Born in the USA" that had some great ideas more in tune with the songs with videos being directed by filmmakers Brian De
Palma and John Sayles, this one goes for a more artistic route. Don't find it much appealing, and I even think it scared audiences back in the
day wanting to see something more colorful or typical, and it might have hurt the album's success a little - it sold less than its predecessor.
Still, a highly unique experience that worths a view due to being of Springsteen's coolest hits, one of my favorite singles of his. 8/10.
