The River is one of Springsteen's most moving and personal songs. It tells the story of working-class dreams and disappointments. The song has become a staple of Springsteen’s live shows, often performed with just voice and harmonica in a stark, intimate arrangement. For that reason, it's a great song to learn on harmonica.

Thanks for studying with me today. I hope you enjoyed this lesson!
