That first verse is one of the greatest rock n roll verses of all time.

Hearing Charlie talk about music is great, it’s so cool to hear

[Casperazi]

“But do you think Bruce is aware of what you’re taking” love this question cause I was thinking the same, like I have no idea what Charlie is saying, but I am 😍

[Jogwheel]

Love Bruce - and Charlie's great too - but he didn't "prove" anything here, haha. Howard barely let him finish whatever point he was making...

[kayheizman]

I loved this segment too! Brilliant musician 👏👏👏

I’d love to see Charlie fully rocking out with Bruce, I know he’s considered to be a pop guy, but it’d be cool to see a harder, classic rock edge to his music

[wilzwalkabout]

very cool that Charlie is into Bruce's early stuff (Ima guy from Long Branch)

[Michael-dyzp]

Would be Awesome to see either a Springsteen concert with Charlie Puth playing on stage for a couple songs or vice versa.

I loved the song already, but now with this explaination I love it so much more...

[fourbirds]

awesome video. I could watch him explain music all day, so knowledgeable.

[benireland]

So impressive - could watch a whole season of this

[takahikomusic_]

hope to see a charlie puth and springsteen collab someday

[kristinamusantejd]

I appreciate the break down of why I love Bruce songs so much.

[JimmyLeeHook]

The only thing I’d add is that Roy Bittan played those sweet piano parts that you describe. My guess is that Bruce wrote the song, but Roy arranged that tasty piano part.

[gheller]

Nobody created as many great song hooks as Springsteen.

[canefan]

It’s pretty basic music theory that I can guarantee you Bruce knows.

[massapower]

The Art of Music composition is within and that's why the Geniuses know how to get done😎👍🏻

[neveragainsam]

I just talked to Bruce a couple weeks ago too!

[sora]

Would love to know what keyboard he’s playing

[MatineeIdyll]

It ain't just Bruce tho. A lot of the iconic music in his Canon is partially E Street Band. Roy Bittan has a huge hand specially
