On this particular album the River we see Bruce unite two contrasting themes and moods with thoughtful and deep and darker introspective song writing that shows the elusive nature of the American dream pointing to economic insecurity and and hardship combined with a sense of community and connecting with people being outgoing and extroverted M
Great performance. I wish his songs were more like this, simple. A lot over his stuff was over produced and would drown out the lyrics. Thunder Road for instance is much better with just a guitar or piano. Just my opinion, YMMV.
"Stolen Car" is an inner-directed, psychological song that deals with a failing marriage. The protagonist of "Stolen Car" is driven by his loneliness to car theft, hoping to get caught but fearing to just disappear. Essentially, he wants to get arrested just to prove he exists.

Same thing happened to me after 29 yrs of marriage, I don't bother her,call or text! Sometimes love just isn't enough, I do wish Bruce would bring my car back!😢
