Springsteen - Deliver Me From Nowhere (2025) is a movie about a young Bruce Springsteen, creating his album Nebraska (1982) after his first widely successful album and tour. I recently watched this movie, it's on Disney+, so it's fresh on my mind. It's not what I was expecting, but I think a lot of people should watch a movie like this and take it to heart. Just because someone is successful, doesn't mean they have everything figured out. It normally just means they figured one thing out, really well. Nebraska was Springsteen's way of figuring himself out. Everyone around him questioned what he was doing, but he had to take a journey from where he came from, to where he was, or he wasn't going anywhere. That's how he felt about it.

Nebraska was the first DIY album, recorded in Springsteen's home on a tape recording system. It went platinum. The movie is really good, but it's not like most movies about artists. Springsteen also isn't like most artists. He doesn't see himself as larger than life. He's never been checked into rehab, but he's had a therapist most of his life. The movie does a good job of portraying this darker side of the man known for electric performances. Most people can probably relate and if not, it wouldn't hurt to see that you never know what someone else is going through. To me, Nebraska just shows that you can't always give people what they want, sometimes you just have to do something for yourself. Sometimes you just have to deliver yourself from nowhere, to get where you are going.
