![“I always write with an audience in mind. If I feel that [connection] coming back at me then I feel like I'm doing my job. That's why people come to my music - for some emotional experience or a perspective, either on their own lives, or on the world that they're living in.” quote by Bruce Springsteen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6b7/bruce-springsteen-546_audience_i-always-write-with-an-audience-in-mind_1185905.jpg)
