}} "Backstreets" is a song by Bruce Springsteen from the album ''Born to Run'', which was released in 1975. In the original vinyl release, it concludes side one of the record. ==Structure== "Backstreets" begins with a minute-long instrumental introduction that features pianist Roy Bittan playing both piano and organ, with only occasional traces of any other instruments being heard. In his review of ''Born to Run'' for ''Rolling Stone'', writer Greil Marcus said: :"Backstreets" ... begins with music so stately, so heartbreaking, that it might be the prelude to a rock & roll version of ''The Iliad''. "Backstreets" has also been interpreted as a narrative about a homosexual relationship, since the name Terry is sexually ambiguous. It has also been said to potentially represent a platonic but intense friendship between two men that has faded.〔〔 However, listening to any of the numerous bootleg versions of "Backstreets" from the 1978 "Darkness on the Edge of Town" tour, Terry is repeatedly referred to as "she" and "little girl," confirming that Terry is indeed a woman.〔http://www.brucespringsteen.it/DB/sd3.aspx?sid=489〕 Another interpretation is that it is about Springsteen's relationship with his early 70s girlfriend Diane Lozito.〔 The melody and organ bear some resemblance to "Positively 4th Street" by Bob Dylan, an influence of Springsteen's. ''Rolling Stone'' claims that it echoes mid-60s Dylan, especially the organ part reminiscent of ''Blonde on Blonde''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Backstreets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
