I was in my Dad's truck and he was playing Bruce Springsteen. The little part of the song that I can remember has been stuck in my head since forever. I THOUGHT it was from the compilation album 18 Tracks - simply because I recall seeing that picture on the CD cover of what I thought was playing. But I listened through all of the tracks listed on that compilation album, and none of them are it, I think. Anyway, the little part I can remember is like this: there are strings playing in an epic and sad sort of style, like violins and violas and cellos, and Bruce Springsteen is singing out this deeply moving and profoundly sad moan and groan and the entire thing together made me want to cry upon hearing it. I would really like to rediscover this song... though I don't know if it exists anymore. Thanks for reflecting on it, sorry that this question is so irritatingly impossible and vague...
