The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, has a new release coming out on March 6, titled Wrecking Ball. One of the cuts is a song for the Obama 2012 campaign: Bruce Springsteen – We Take Care Of Our Own – YouTube Music Video (with sing-a-long lyrics). Springsteen drops video for Obama 2012 song: ‘We Take Care of Our Own’ | The Raw Story:
A Bruce Springsteen song that’s been selected by President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign now has a sing-a-long video to go with it.
In the video “We Take Care of Our Own,” Springsteen plays in what looks like a closed down warehouse. Black and white images of economic degradation, people of various ethnicity walking through the streets or focusing on tasks at work scroll by, with the lyrics subtitled across the screen.
“I been looking for the map that leads me home,” he croons. “I been stumbling on good hearts turned to stone / The road of good intentions has gone dry as a bone / We take care of our own / We take care of our own / Wherever this flag’s flown, we take care of our own.”
The other songs picked by Obama’s reelection team include “I Got You” by Wilco, “Roll With The Changes” by REO Speedwagon, “You’ve Got The Love” by Florence + The Machine and, of course, “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green.
The campaign released its playlist Thursday on Facebook, in a format compatible with the music app Spotify.
