As someone who ALSO grew up in NJ, "The Rising" meant the world to me. Really, really did. And my friend Michael, a fellow Springsteen fanatic, died a few years after this album came out. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him and hear "Mary's Place". It's an incredible song about living life after loss. About how you need your people around you to heal. It's about living despite sometimes not wanting to. I love this song
