I like the beat and the musical melody. The voice sounds like a not-disguised Springsteen. The rasp is there and inflections are there. The knock-off sounds unmistakable to me. Overall, sounds ok.
Springsteen's early stuff that launched him was dynamic, energetic and unique. And his lyrics were earthy stories of relatable lives. As time went on, it seemed like he was mostly charting songs with star power. I doubt that songs like "I'm on Fire" would have gotten noticed, if done by a lesser known or unknown artist. That's where I see this song. It's okay, but nothing that really catches a person's attention. It starts off about a female riding a NE train, getting off and thumbing a ride. A female thumbing rides in today's urban environments would be a death wish in action.
Thematically, it seems like a less clear and descriptive incarnation of "Bring Me To Life." Amy Lee put that song in the first person, rather than the 3rd, and with her massive vocal, put the listener inside her head.
QUESTION: What listener would be interested in this story? Why would they be interested?
