"Boulevard" by Jackson Browne
Hit the streets with Jackson Browne's driving 1980 rock anthem, "Boulevard"! The lead single from his number one album Hold Out, this track pulses with urban energy, capturing scenes of nightlife and youthful searching with powerful rock instrumentation.
Released as the first single from the chart-topping album Hold Out, "Boulevard" showcased Jackson Browne's dynamic rock sensibilities. Its driving rhythm, featuring strong guitar work and keyboards, provided the perfect backdrop for Browne's observant lyrics about street life and restless youth.
This classic 1980 rock track paints a vivid picture of characters cruising and congregating under city lights. With its energetic performance and compelling narrative, "Boulevard" remains a fan favorite, highlighting Jackson Browne's ability to craft powerful, story-driven rock songs.
SONG MEANING: The song describes the atmosphere and characters found on a city street (likely a notable boulevard like Hollywood Blvd.) at night. It portrays young people cruising, trying to look tough, seeking connection or excitement ("The girls are smokin' cigarettes... Nobody knows how they got there"), capturing a sense of restless energy, underlying loneliness, and the performative nature of street life.
