This song has never been played live, according to Brucebase, which is a shame. Sign next time, anyone? My mom obviously wasn't the biggest Springsteen fan, although she did like his version of "Jersey Girl". BTW, I don't think that "Loose Change" would really work in a live setting, whether it's solo acoustic or with a/"the" band. The overall mood and haunting atmosphere of the song's original studio recording couldn't ever be re-created. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PattyC Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I think it’s his best song about depression. Looking for an easy way out...”I knew she was trouble but trouble sure was looking fine.” Being stuck in a shitty place...the bags are packed but he’s frozen. The light turns from red to green to red...and he’s still there, listening to the clock, unable to move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not a fun moment for the casual fan, though, yeah.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

*Janey* Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I do like Loose Change quite a bit. As already mentioned, we are left to fill in the gaps (many of them, I think) but there's just something about this song that fascinates me in a way. It's been way too long since I last listened to it! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
