Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 86.0/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.6.

Bruce could really tell a romantic story when he tried. Another slow burner that displays the Boss's songwriting prowess over seven carefully metered minutes. Oh, and some gorgeous piano as well. Definitely a highlight from this record.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
The rest of this album is pretty standard Springsteen crowd pleasing fare, and I got bored of it pretty quickly. However, this track, a ballad, is outstanding, and I finally got to hear it on the radio-twice in fact, on planet rock, on their amps off programme. I salute you Planet Rock for playing this brilliant track that all other radio stations have chosen to ignore. Oh, and needless to say, it does not appear on any best of compilations, as far as I know. With the exception of 'Born to Run', I think this is Springsteen's greatest track.
This is the outstanding track on tis album and my 2nd favourite Springsteen track (after born to run) of all time. I waited over 30 years(!) to hear this on the radio: Nicky Horne I salute you. He played it on Planet rock on their amps off programme on a Sunday night. Needless to say, this track does not appear on any 'best of' compilation. People think that all BS songs have to be out and out rockers. This is not, it is a ballad and simply beautiful, and perfectly suited to his voice. Other radio stations: wake up and look around-there are some great songs out there which you continually choose to ignore. This is one of the best of them.
