Lyrics:
’Neath a crowd of mongrel trees
I pulled that bothersome thread
Got down on my knees
Grabbed my pen and bowed my head
Tried to summon all that my heart finds true
And send it in my letter to you
Things I found out through hard times and good
I wrote ’em all out in ink and blood
Dug deep in my soul and signed my name true
And sent it in my letter to you
In my letter to you
I took all my fears and doubts
In my letter to you
All the hard things I found out
In my letter to you
All that I’ve found true
And I sent it in my letter to you
I took all the sunshine and rain
All my happiness and all my pain
The dark evening stars
And the morning sky of blue
And I sent it in my letter to you
And I sent it in my letter to you
In my letter to you
I took all my fears and doubts
In my letter to you
All the hard things that I found out
In my letter to you
All that I found true
And I sent it in my letter to you
I sent it in my letter to you
#BruceSpringsteen #LetterToYou
Once there was a King, a Queen and even a Prince. Now only the Boss Remains.
Rock on Maestro, we owe you a great deal.
well said ;)
👍
He's the last emperor (and the best too!!!)
So true
@@estebangonzalez8545 Amen
Funny, after all these years, this song made me realize, that all Mr.Springsteens songs are letters to someone. They are letters and short stories that I love to listen to.
Yes ,something I only recently realised too .Boy what a story writer
Where have you been ? A Monastery ? JESUS JOHNNY
Beautiful way to put it.
I do not think it's unreasonable to say that the impact Bruce Springsteen has had on American music is immeasurable.
He even resonates here in New Zealand.
I don't think it's unreasonable to say the impact Bruce Springsteen has had on humanity, globally, is immeasurable.
He's our great American rock-and-roll troubador.
Duh!
I'm a trumpeter in St Paul MN. I think I was born again when I started listening to you and your bands music. Now I'm totally floored by "My letter to you" thanks Larry S.
Jesus. This feels like The Rising. He always comes through. Peace.
Yes,I'm also getting a lucky town era vibe off it.
I don't understand why you use the name of Jesus our lord and savior. But yes it's a great song.
I unfortunately got a Working on a Dream vibe. Although the repetitive lyrics would not seem out of place as a B-side to Dream Baby Dream. I always look forward to a new Springsteen release but this doesn't have me hooked like the first single off The Rising or Magic. I wait in anticipation to hear the full album.
J adore comme toujours . Des hawi ich gern . Elsass frei
Mark B - I agree. This is pedestrian stuff.
Whenever the world needs him, he is ready. Bruce you saved my life. On many occasions. We love you.
I totally agree with you ! It's the same for me 👍😉
Absolutely!!!!! Bruce&E-street has helped me many times to go through some really dark times......and they will continue to do so through the rest of my life.....THANK YOU Bruce and everyone that's been part of his bands :)
Same for me.
Listen to him everyday
The boss
Hey
Bruce said once : " i can't imagine my life without music, it's like the air that i breathe" ...and me i can't imagine my life without listening to him
Sounds like you need to get out more LOL
I too cannot imagine life without Bruce's music. I have loved this man's words and music since 1974, his music is the soundtrack to my life.
Life is Bruce's music
Great!!!
Now America needs this human touch .
not just America needs it.Europe needs it too.A 55 man from Hungary
You can always rely on Springsteen to lift your spirits when needed
So true
He has since I was 14 ....45 years ago
TRY GOD BROTHER
X-ians stink each to their own.
Steve Scontriano not religious at all in all honesty
Hell, it was a bad day today. Struggling with my mental health after my Mum died of dementia last year. Still fighting her care home. Covid. A cr'p family who could care less about me or her. And National Suicide Prevention Day. Was thinking about making that ironic. And then Bruce sends me a letter. To me. To everyone. Thanks, Boss. x
Hang in there. My mom is going in to hospice today after many years with dementia. I'm going to have to miss my depression support group later, but Bruce and the band just lifted my spirits!
Dealt with a very similar situation. All the best to you.
Hang in. Talk to someone who loves you. That's all we need. I know.
You made me cry. Hope everything gets better for you. I hug you! Keep the faith!
Keep going and stay. Wishing you healing and endless love
This is bringing a little tear to my eyes. I didn't realize I needed Bruce and the band that much in my life right now. Wow! Thanks Bruce & The E Street Band! May God bless all of you.
yeah. This.
Exactly my feelings🙏🙏.
Sat at my desk bawling. Was just thinking if I could go to any show it would be Bruce. What the world needs right now!
Yes, What he said. Still sniffling. But the day has improved considerably.
I don’t like it AT ALL
The Boss still full of strength.... great sound.
I'd be honored if some Springsteen fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performance of DANCING IN THE DARK in tribute to the United States of America and our next president, Joe Biden. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
Will Ritter looll
My brother Eamon sent this to me. He has some developmental disabilities and is down on much in life but never Bruce. Not since we heard him first over 40 yrs ago when he was 12. I believe that Bruce holds him up. Gives his life meaning which is for the most part devoid of it. I thank Bruce for never giving up on himself or his fans. For bringing meaning to my Brothers life and giving him one certainty in his life. That there will be another sing, another album, another "reason to believe" Ibam sure that there are plenty of Eamon's in the world who may not understand the lyrics with much depth but feel the music and passion and love that this man brings to them. He is a Bruce savant and I swear he knows when Bruce is about to drop a new song before Brucr does and he'll tell you so. God bless all those who have disabilities who have been touched by their hero and our Bruce Soringsteen. The greatest connector of them all.
@Gavin M. A “ Bruce savant” . Like that description. 🙂 Your brother sounds like an interesting person of good taste, if he intuitively tapped into a great musician like BS. 👍🏻
Your message is very inspiring
Beautiful- thanks
Thank You Sir I too am Disabled and Bruce Got Me Through alot along with Van Halen Beachboys 4 Seasons Bon Jovi too I wanted to do music like them never happened but Am An Activist Now Thanks to Them Using Their Voices....It Inspires Me Today God Bless All
I find joy in my heart that this has happened for them that the joy in music gives them some peace. Music truly can sooth any mood
Roy’s piano just puts its arms around you like a long lost friend. Those 3 guitars, stevie, nils, bruce just complement everything. Max just solid. Gary’s bass...I can hear Danny in there. It’s crying out for Clarence and his sax.
This is brilliant, comforting and emotional. Thank you Bruce
Just the true words right there.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
I bet every Boss fan have waited for something new from Bruce Springsteen and the E-street band.
Now we have a taste of what is arriving in october.
Perhaps next year the touring will arrive again, with a early wake-up call for the ticket sale.
I can garantee that the tickets wil be flying.
can't imagine this song without clarence though i hear it without him
i can just imagine every single note he would have played..
Mx Schrtt same!
@@mxschrtt9194 It's a pity Jake didn't get a sax slot in that song
If it wasn't for Mr Springsteen, I never would've had a connection to my dad. I never would've found a way to bond with him, and never would've had as many laughs with him. My dad and I listened to this while watching football last night... and although I didn't cry at the time, I found myself coming back to the song tonight and crying. Crying because of the lyrics. Knowing that the artist my dad listens to easily the most, became the artist I listened to the most, and then for us to listen to this together made all those childhood and current memories come flooding back.
Thank you Bruce, for allowing me to really get to know my father, and continue enjoying the time I have with him.
Lovely post. I lost my dad this year and music was the main connection we had. He was a petrol head, I wasn't. I loved sport, he didn't. But we always bonded over music and had some great times going to gigs and listening to music together. Enjoy it while you can cos it hurts like hell once that times gone
Yep me too 👌 great wee read keep enjoying the boss everyone 🙏
@@johnboymathieson This comment choked me up...I have a similar story with my pops. Music is powerful, connects us, and it can help us overcome anything. 'With good music, I feel no pain at all' - Tim Armstrong
What a beautiful story. It touched me to tears. Thank you for sharing!
My dad and I have never seen eye to eye on a lot of things. Our mutual love of Bruce is one thing that helps us come together.
Love ya bruce and the easy street band god bless ya ❤❤❤🎉🎉
I felt like the loneliest person on this planet during the last half year. I needed this is so much! This is pure comfort. Thank you, Bruce and the band
I'm at the next concert where ever it is! ❤️
You are not alone.
It was a hard time and life. You were strong. Keep that.
BEST LIVING LEGEND ! WONDERFULL and UNFORGETTABLE SONGS FOR us ...
BRAVO BRUCE/BOSSSINGER
Bruce's music has always been there to get me through the trying times.
I needed this much more than I realized.
Me as well...
Me too...
Likewise...
Add me to this. Thank you.
Me too
Seeing Bruce and the band in one room is always a soul renewer.
Agreed! They look like they are having so much fun being together. Loved it!
Did you communicate?
I got a similar reply--i think may have been a scammer. Please let me . thanks
I'm in my late 20s and I've always heard of Bruce Springsteen but never really cared to listen to him until now, since yesterday I've been on a listening streak starting from his old stuff working my way up to his new/current stuff, I'm amazed at the longevity that this guy has had in music from before I was even born up until now, I'm a new fan of this legend
You are discovering one of the greats in modern music. Enjoy your trip!
Listen to Billy Joel, different decades different styles.
same, he has definitely improved with age
Catch him live and you'll be drawn in deeper....
Welcome aboard.
Oh, dear Jesus, help us through this thing so we can see Bruce and the gang live just one more time.
The Big Man is sorely missed.
Rest In Power Clarence.
Almost my whole life Bruce was my companion, his music gave comfort, joy, relief, hapiness all the emotions you can have. And still he wil be the light in these dark times.
Well said
I agree with you

So true Rudy!
so it is
It has been my great pleasure to have the Boss to listen to since I was in my twenties. I am now 70. I have a great memory of a kiss in the Fox in Atlanta. The lighting tech took me to the stage.
@brucespringsteenpriv Wow just wow.
Bruce so glad to see you're back!! WIth the Band!!!!
OH MY GOD
I am just so happy!!!!
Rock on, we love you!!!!
WOW !!! You’re easy to please. Jesus Johnny
Thanks for the love and support 💕💕
This song will always be special to me. First Bruce song I knew about before my parents did!! 😂😂
Feels like Bruce sends a message, his letter, to me in person. During this hard times. Hope we get a chance to see Springsteen and the E Street Band live again!
LibertyBobbyJean we got this. Vaccine by February. Things back to normal by summer tour time!
@@williampowers2997 If that happen, drinks are on me!!
yes me too ;)
I remember being like 4 or 5 and my momma would play every single album by Bruce all day everyday. I grew up loving all of his music, mom loved his music and him so much! Always said she would marry him ever since I could remember lol. She recently passed in July and just hearing this new music brings memories back, brings happiness, and brings so many good memories about mom. I love you so much momma and I hope you can hear it too. I hope you are doing well, love you so much mom. This one is to you.
Ela com certeza ouviu!!!!
Brother bless you. Your mom is always guiding you. I'm 62 and lost my mom when I was 24. Those that still have their mama cherish every minute and memory
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi
His songs have been passed down through generations, my husband, our son and now our grandchildren are all singing Bruce
Doris Depaoli I’ve got my husband and my son on board! Waiting for those grandchildren! ❤️😎

Reading through the comments, like so many others, I hadn't realized how much I needed this. Surprised also by the fact that I can even still feel what this song triggers. There are all different types of music, all different types of songwriters, but only Bruce Springsteen could bring this particular thing into the world. And yeah, the band, I think the spirit of Danny and Clarence were smiling in on this. Listening, got chills, and started crying, surprised by that too, like rocks skipping, leaving images of people lost over the years, the touchstone of the different songs over the years, stages of life, and yet it all comes to life again, that same feeling as seeing the band, 1975, Born to Run tour in Portland. Springsteen, an American living treasure, some music just stands somewhere outside of time, and death.
This right here, is it!
You nailed it, Flowizgood. My sentiments exactly, including the tears. What an injection of joy and hope... on such a dismal day. My Mother passed on 9/11 in 1985, so it’s an even more heartbreaking anniversary. Thank you, Bruce! You save me time and time again.
Well put
Well said, Flowisgood. The Master did it again. The right song at the right time. Hope 2021 touring can restart. Need my shot of Springsteen and the E-Street Band more than I expected...
@@juniemoon1528 my dad's passing was close well, 9/12 2012. Probably the best time I ever had with my dad was playing "Racing in The Streets" for him way back when. We finally connected on something. That music of Bruce's touches these parts. Always grateful for that.
For a Man who has sang his heart out his whole life, gave everything he had. I'm greatful he is still sharing his gift. To be a musician, its a hard life, no privacy, long lonely nights on empty roads a hard travel. Until you have walked in their shoes...you have no clue. Its Gods job to judge a life, not ours as fans. Be greatful for whats still here and now, today is a miracle..tomorrow is not promised.
"To be a musician, it's a hard life."..........You're joking, right?.........Bruce has been a multimillionaire many times over for the last 40 years or so.......and good on him for that.......but he's had an extremely privileged life. Yes fame can be a bitch, but that's the price you pay to get to do whatever you want and lead a life that 99.9 % of most people can only dream of.
He's anti American and you don't care? Well I have land in saudia Arabia for sale.
@@mikehorrigan6106 WTF you talking about- he's not anti American in any way at all
@@mikehorrigan6106 Imagine being stuck with a brain this broken.
I couldn't have said it better!
I've been a fervent fan since I was 13, that's over 40 years listening intently to every word. He has never let me down because his words come from a place of honesty and truth. I am proud of my young self for recognizing the heart of this artist, he has added so much to my life and helped me thru all the roughest patches. I can't watch this without being overwhelmed with joy at seeing all these guys who have been a part of my life all these years. And I always knew Bruce was creating these letters for us, it's so great to have him acknowledge it! ❤
That's so sweet of you I really appreciate the love and support I get from you fans
Lovely comment Denise, I think good music deep music and stories of life and hardships of life, are how music is so so important, and how it heals and makes you feel good or understand something that has passed you by, that you didn't understand, all of a sudden the understanding is right there in the emotion produced by the song the tune the words and how its delivered.. The greatest gift on earth is good music.
Brilliant words Denise, you can tell you have been a truly emotional fan of Bruce , Patty & the Fabulous E StreetBand. X
Bruce is so much more than just a brilliant songwriter, he is a spiritual master... I would not have survived without his music. He always delivers, never disappoints. Thank you for all these years.
The stars are burning bright like some mystery uncovered/
I'll keep moving through the dark with you in my heart, my blood brother
Why not come out from the darkness and feel the light. Seems to me that if Bruce is brilliant then he is the light so leave the darkness behind you my friend. I think that's his message for everyone.
The most talented singer, song writer, rocker and live musician I have ever known. I watched this Man live for the first time in Madrid 1988 and his energy and generosity on stage left a mark on me that it lasts intact till today. Compared to his grandiosity what I have watched live from ‘renowned’ ‘gigantic’ bands like the stones is pure trash. Boss you are one of the few highlights of current times. Thank You Man. A Million times.
👍
So true, I have watched him four times. Oslo 2008, Oslo 2013, Copenhagen 2016 and Trondheim 2016.
i agree.BOSS is the best.i was first time in their live concert here in Finland in 2011.Oh boy it was great and they played 5 hours.i never forget it.😄👌🎆🎆🌟💗❤🧡💛💚
Agree
I wish I was born in the 80s so I could have a chance to watch him live on stage with the energy he used to have when he was younger
Bruce Springsteen and his band members aged in dignity and grace. Another great song by the Boss.
are you kidding me this is crapola
Yes, they have, Dignity is an apt word. Bless them all - Bruce and Patti and everyone there.
No more songwriting like this...

@ yeah this is a steaming pile of commercialized rehashed nothingness.
Excellent Record last single i bought .
Like a good boss he always knows when the folks need something. I'll always love him.
Still, and always will be the greatest.
Yes, it has that Epic Quality that he had in the 70's, and 80's, and the E Street Band provides.
@@vernpascal1531 sorry aym german , super song from my first song player ......my english is anything but good
That’s why he’s the Boss!
Still, and always will be the greatest.
Agree
Waking up in the morning and listening to Bruce with "The E Street band" is the best gift that we Brazilians people received. Thanks Bruce for starting over with the Band.
As my mom was dying we sang this song to each other. She found it so powerful she sent it to everyone she knew. She passed March 1st 2022, but hearing this song brings me back to her singing this holding my hand. Such a gorgeous song.
Thank you for telling us great thing.
To you...and your Mom.....rock on.
Why do people always make up fake stories about themselves and songs?? " I held my mother's hand while she was dying and we both sang this song " plz stop. It's corny.
@@DallE-z1k There is nothing corny or made up about my memories of my mom. I’m sorry you think the way you do and feel the way you do that you can’t imagine a real moment shared between a mother and child. I love this song and I love the memories of my mom that it invokes. I wish you well and hope you have or find love and happiness.
Find a way through this life is one of the important things we human beings do. Thank you for your words. 🫶
...and wish all people find Peace in heart ...for all on this world 🌎🫶@@apap7345
Nobody has ever been able to write em like Bruce. Hes the reason I started writing. Thanks for this one boss.
Robert Zimmerman
Bob Macca ....true! Peace bro ✌🏻
I could write a list of 100 names writing better
@Bob Macca 100 easily, Springsteen is a fantastic performer on stage, but his creativity pretty much stopped with The Rising. I have been a die hard fan like others here for years before realising the truth. He is the first admitting he is just a great imitator of others, probably the best in the world. Just go look at Jimmy Durante's mimic when he's on stage or Thin Lizzy's music.
@Bob Macca the base of all Bruce's music th-cam.com/video/wyQ-tScuzwM/w-d-xo.html
The best way to start a day! The sound and the visuals!!! It's like coming home,,,
Yes!!! Coming home, love this, and it's truly how we feel. :)
This exactly! Coming home. That's the feeling.
🛑. Get a job lady
Spot on
A letter from Bruce is what we all sorely needed. Bravo, can’t wait for the full album. This is going to be a new Rising.
"The Rising(2020 Edition)"
It actually was... Although I liked Wrecking Ball and Western Stars, this is hands down his best album since at least Magic.
Bruce makes every day the best day😘
One man I'm missing in this song...
Clarence Clemons
And the Harmonica solo...
The intermission is not fully potentialised.
You forget Danni
Great song, but you’re right - it really needed the Big Man.
It feels to me that the letter was for Clarence.
I’m drown in my own tears of joy. I’ll be 60 years old in December and will leave my job. Bruce and The E Street Band sent me a letter to me just when I needed it most. Thank you Bruce. I believe I can make it through from now. I’ve been listening to you since 1975 yes Born To Rin !!! What a joyful tune it is!! Letter to you , I love it!!!
turned 60 in June have grown up listening to him since the beginning of his career!
Marcia Smith That’s great. I think l’m gonna start listening from his earliest work.
@Bruce Springsteen I never expected to get a letter to me from you ! I really appreciate it deeply. Bruce sent me back a letter after 2 years, I feel soooo great ! I’m doing alright now. And I’m waiting for the next soul cover album from you ! Keep rocking on Bruce !!
I think the letter is to us, the fans, the audience. That’s how I interpret it anyway. BRUUUUUUCE!
I agree, it’s from Bruce to us fans.
yessss it's true. Seems actually like that.... At least we like to think this way . He's back !!!! :-)
I agree.....I interpreted it the same way
I agree. It's to us!
What a fabulous song and a beautiful come back to keep our spirits up 😊
Bruce Springsteen’s Letter To You is not just a song; it’s a heartfelt letter to fans, a nostalgic journey through decades of music, and a testament to the enduring power of rock ‘n’ roll. As someone whose musical journey began at the tender age of 10 with the purchase of Born to Run, Springsteen has been more than a musician; he’s been a companion through life’s highs and lows, a distant relative whose words and melodies have woven into the fabric of existence.
The official video for Letter To You is a poignant visual narrative that complements the song’s emotional depth. It opens with Springsteen in a dimly lit studio, surrounded by his E Street Bandmates, setting a mood that is intimate yet grand in its simplicity. The sepia-toned footage interspersed with vibrant concert scenes captures the essence of Springsteen’s live performances - raw, energetic, and deeply authentic.
The song itself is a masterclass in storytelling. Springsteen’s gravelly voice, weathered by years of experience, delivers lyrics that resonate with profound sincerity. As he reflects on life, loss, and the passage of time, there’s a raw honesty that cuts through the music. The haunting refrain, "With this letter to you," becomes a mantra that echoes in the listener’s mind, evoking memories of shared experiences and moments of solitude.
Musically, Letter To You is quintessential Springsteen. The E Street Band’s trademark sound - the driving rhythms, Clarence Clemons’ soulful saxophone, and Roy Bittan’s evocative piano - creates a rich tapestry of sound that is both familiar and timeless. The band’s chemistry is palpable, each member contributing to a collective energy that surges through the song, building to a cathartic crescendo.
What sets Letter To You apart is its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia while remaining firmly rooted in the present. Springsteen’s lyrics are a reflection on aging and mortality, yet there’s an underlying optimism that shines through. It’s a reminder that despite the passage of time, the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll endures - resilient, defiant, and eternally hopeful.
The video’s direction is impeccable, capturing intimate moments of camaraderie among bandmates juxtaposed with electrifying live performances. Each frame tells a story - of friendships forged in music, of shared memories on and off the stage, and of the unbreakable bond between Springsteen and his audience. It’s a visual ode to the power of music to transcend time and connect generations.
For anyone whose life has been shaped by Springsteen’s music, Letter To You is a stirring reminder of why his songs resonate so deeply. It’s a celebration of resilience, of the enduring power of rock music to inspire and console. As the video fades out with Springsteen strumming his guitar, bathed in a spotlight, one can’t help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the music that has accompanied us through life’s journey.
Letter To You is more than a song or a video; it’s a testament to Bruce Springsteen’s legacy as a storyteller, a poet of the human experience. With its evocative imagery and heartfelt lyrics, this release reaffirms Springsteen’s place as not just a rock icon, but a guiding light whose music continues to resonate with listeners of all ages. It’s a love letter to fans, a tribute to friendship, and a timeless anthem that captures the essence of what it means to live and love through music. www.candiano.com
Evertime that I hear a new Springsteen song, I think of all the great bands that just stop making new music. Sure they tour and rehash their old material, but they stop making new music. Bruce is amazing. He just keeps going and going, adding to his already enormous catalog of songs. That's just one the things that make him perhaps the greatest storyteller, entertainer, and rock and roller of all time.
It's therapeutic for Bruce to write about what's in his head and turn it into beautiful songs.
Clarence is in his dreams regularly, so Bruce wrote two songs about death, to the ppl whom aren't here anymore.
Then, it's out of his head. I do the same, write it off of me. Only I can't make a song out of it. It helps. That's why all of Bruce's songs are touching our hearts, it comes straight from his heart and it's something we all feel deep inside.
The Boss. E Street. Call it a year.
Like The Rising, The Boss knew we needed something, anything.. from him and the band.
Thanks Boss!
...that Bruce still write songs on a piece of paper instead of a laptop or tablet is encouraging for us who grew up with his songs.
i began listening to Bruce in about 1982, I lived in Canada, still listening !!
As someone who prefers to write lyrics on paper instead of a laptop , myself, I cant help but wonder why in the hell you find encouragement in the fact that he writes on paper.
@@nonavandamme98 so interesting
Am I the only one who stopped singing along.. Everytime I hear a Springsteen song?
It doesn't matter where he writes. What matters is what he writes. Write on boss. Sign on, we are hearing.
Bruce Springsteen has rocked since his mother rocked the cradle.
This firstly Is bang on correct - secondly it is a phenomenal phrase that I will now forevermore give you credit for
Awesome- made me laugh 👍🏼
Olivia thank you so much where are you from?
nice profile picture ! I couldn't help but to say hello. Please always wear that smile.
Hello Olivia
Oui c'est impressionnant la forme qu'à The Boss 😊❤
What a beautiful song in such a bad time.
The boss always manages to put the right words into music.
It is no coincidence that when times are bad, people seek refuge in music.
This music, his music, has been with me since my youth and I hear it over and over again.
ever since the magic rat drove his sleek machine over the jersey state line
Beautiful words
As always, Bruce says everything with a song. How many things you can say in a letter! Even what you don´t write can be understood if the other one knows you deeply. It´s a pleasure starting the day with Bruce and the guys. May 2020 get better for everyone... with Bruce and his songs. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil!
uma pena que aqui no Brasil poucos reconheçam a sua importância. Meu top 5 de todos os tempos. abraço Vitor.
He sucks
@@dumaco71 Ah, uma pena mesmo, Eduardo... mas bom gosto não é pra qualquer um, certo? E vamos curtindo o Boss. Abraço e o melhor pra você.
Hey vitordragon, we must be on the same wavelength. A month ago or so I wrote a song called "This Song Is A Letter To My Friends". Bruce has 400,000 views for this letter song (so far) on the first day. I have about 30 or so in one month. Most people who've heard my new song say they like it. It's real basic with just guitar and voice. I don't have any promoters except for myself, so I hope you'll give my song a listen. It's kind of like an exchange of letters!! Letters are old-fashioned. Who writes letters nowadays? It's a generational thing. Well, thanks to anyone who reads this. Go to my channel to hear my letter song. It's a hip new trend!!
@@TimmyMayMusic Hello, Timmy. Be sure I´ll listen to your song. Thanks for the message. Yes, letters are old-fashioned, but I think they can be kept so you can "keep a little of your past". I´m sure Bruce knows that - a letter is much more romantic and much more interesting than an e-mail or any whatsapp. And the pleasure of reading them aftert a long time. I wrote an article about that on my blog - sorry it´s in Portuguese. Best wishes, my friend. Vítor direito.legal/linguagem-juridica/a-arte-de-escrever-cartas/
He's still the boss. As a Black woman there's a lot discussion about cultural appropriation now days. But when I was growing up. Bruce, Hall,&Oates, Tina Marie and Michael McDonald were just excepted on both sides of the fence. Good,soul, heartfelt, singing no matter what race you are. Keep it coming. Long live the boss.!!!
To me, Bruce is and always will be the white boss of rock! But the African-American boss from the 60's was Jimi Hendrix and the African-Russian-American boss of Rock is the sexy, beautiful, talented (who plays most of the instruments while recording his albums : bass, keyboards, drums and guitars) and also too much underrated Lenny Kravitz!
And that's the power of music right there my friend. Great songs and great artists cross all divides and eschew all prejudices. Music speaks to us in these times of troubles like no politician ever can.
@@lucrese1 Thanks. I'll research his music. I know Jimi's photo when I see it but I don't know any of his music. I know who Lenny is because of his mom, Foxy Rokker, the actress. But I only know about "American Woman". Which is great track.
It's not cultural appropriation to like music made by someone with a different skin color.
Yesl
, the boss of the E-street band, THE reason why he's called the boss.
Nothing to do with his music. Fans took over once.
Wow, they nailed it on this album.. Like they put all the best Bruce puzzle pieces together.
A lot of rock legends in their seventies release new songs that are basically bloop singles that barely get by. This one is a GRAND SLAM.
He holds nothing back. Doesn't worry about what others think. Just himself.
But it very probably won't chart, as probably only Ken Bruce (if him) is and would actually only play it!
@@pA-vo7bo Maybe one day they will include TH-cam views for chart data. This is a lot of views for just being released.
@@pA-vo7bo dermot oleary big boss fan plays it
@@kron2002 Name one as strong as this.
Bruce is the only hope for this year.
In 2020, Bruce’s music is like one much needed gigantic hug.
Bruce is the greatest rockstar for all time..

Good vibes are in short supply these days, and his songs are sometimes the one thing that keeps me carryin' on.
God yes. Perfect comment.
Yes, thank and big hug to dear Bruce
In the end what you don't surrender the world just strips away....
I'd be honored if some Springsteen fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performance of DANCING IN THE DARK in tribute to the United States of America and our next president, Joe Biden. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
@@willritter4076 like to say from this side of the pond phew that heaven for that ......
America you can produce some great people Springsteen etc glad you chose Biden
Yeah, he is amazing...
The song started - and immediately tears flow down my cheeks...
He is definitely one of the greatest ever 🎼🎤🎸🏆
Thank you Bruce, that you came into my life since 'Born To Run' when I was 18 years old... 44 years ago
You're truly "The Boss"
My dad died on Friday.... The lyrics here hit me like a freight train. All the things I should have said to himbefore he went. Miss you dad and thanks Bruce for this!
Sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing.
My mum died at march in 1992 ... 3 days after my 18th birthday. Some day you'll still carry the questions but you'll know that the answer's not important, because your feeling is that the answers reached your dad as my mum in their soul ... that's the way I learned to handle it.
i sometimes think we don't thank god enough for bruce. i maybe wrong but i feel i ain't.
So true
how are you doing? You’re such amazing 😉, If you don’t mind kindly drop me your hangout just to talk more better💯❤️
Met the love of my life listening to the BOSS, nursed my babies to his music, they grew up singing his songs and now they listen to Bruce with their babies. Thank you for being in our lives and giving us such great music🧡
Bruce Springsteen... you never disappoint...
I’m 25 years old. I’m from Russia. And I’m in love with your music. Thank you
"And I sent it in my letter... to you."
"Tonight the Western Stars are shining bright... again."
👍❤️🤘
You're right. Same melody there.
Very similar sadly
Bruce has never been shy about borrowing from himself or others. If it works, why not?
Meet me in the land of hopes and dreams.
Blood Brothers meeting in the Land of Hope and Dreams under the Western Stars - pure Springsteen! I like it.
In case you don't know... This is growing old with grace, class, & humility.
I agree.. aging gracefully too.. no drugs
I agree...amen😘
True, but is having his struggles, just like the rest of us. Music heals.
I’m almost 60. My first Bruce album was The River. Letter To You brings back my enthusiasm for Bruce and The ESB!
This song and the upcoming album are just what I needed at this time in my life...in so many ways.
It's like picking up an old book, reading about The Magic Rat, Hazy Janey, Mary, Wendy, The Barefoot girl...the story continues, they all grew up with him and want for all of us to keep adding to the story. Soulful, cheerful, uplifting...combines a lot of what made The River and Rising such great albums. The message here is so visually powerful...he did it again.
Someone should legitimately write a novel with all these characters that Bruce has created. Bruce has written the story, someone just needs to put it into a book that can be read
THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR
I'm with you on that sentiment. By far the best thing.
Probably the only good thing to happen this year, too!
And the new Taylor Swift!! What a year!
great to have in back still got a great voice
I dedicated this song to my wife, she's my queen and my best friend. She made me a man, a husband, and a father. She makes me forget all my past hardships and pain.
Beautiful. ❤️
Nice! Did u communicate? Was it BS or scammer? I am worried bc i received similar reply. So many phishers on his site.
Thx
@@kathleenomeara9704 What the hell are you on about? The man dedicated this to his wife.
@ S L.Q +4 That's absolutely beautiful 👌🏿🌹🔥
Dude shut up
I just realized it has been 40 years since I became a Bruce Springsteen fan. (I was fifteen. Where did the time go?) If I had a single wish in this world it would that Bruce and the E Street Band play live again next summer-maybe outdoors somewhere-and I can take my teenage son with me. He has never seen him live and I would so love for him to experience the sheer joy and energy of one of Bruce’s concerts. (I discovered my son has a bunch of Bruce’s music on his playlist but never told me, didn’t want to admit that his musical taste was influenced by his mother, I guess!)
Laurie we have a lot in common. I was 13 when I heard Hungry Heart and I immediately KNEW. I brought my son Joshua Bruce to a show many moons ago, that converted him over to our side.
Bruce continually impresses me, surprises and thrills me. My admiration for him grows exponentially over time. I told my son Joshua Bruce that if I were to name him today, I would just go for it and name him Bruce Bruce ;)
Same here!
Similar - albeit it more embarrassing - story here.
My sister gave me "The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle" for Christmas in 1975. Doubting her older, "square" taste, I put it aside with a "Gee, thanks". She was home again in the summer of '76, and I said, "Hey, what's that?" about the music she had on.
"So - you haven't opened your Christmas present yet?", she asked slyly.
I was 15 then (she'd have been 17 at Christmas, 18 by summer) - and while I liked all the songs, the one that really wowed me was "4th of July, Asbury Park" (aka "Sandy").
A bit embarrassing to be caught not having tried it - but the compensation (even if months later) was discovering I already *had* an album I loved !
I'll turn 60 this year (knock wood), and that "age-difference" between my sister & I has long vanished. I have treasured (and been uplifted by) Mr Springsteen through all the years since.
"Sandy" still has a special place in my heart (not least since once far ago, "that waitress I was seeing lost her desire for me").
BTW, apologies if it dated me to say "album" (hell, I can remember actually "dialing" a phone!) - but there was a time I had "E Street Shuffle" on LP (thanks, sis), cassette & CD, all at the same time.
Cheers to you, Ms Gough - and best wishes to your son.
Never forget, Laurie... the aurora is rising behind us.
..I am with you my lady.....
He has good taste!
Since Bruce's Western stars, Sadly, I've lost my nan, great grandad and cousin to Covid 19. And it's only through personal experiences and individual interpretation can Bruces words of his own experience make sense. But thank you Springsteen, for giving me happy memories of family members who are no longer here anymore, And to anyone who has lost family or friends to Covid. The pain, it never goes away, but you do learn to live on, to take what they taught you and through applying that, their memory lives on. Take what they taught you, never forget it, and always cherish the happy memories of them and they will never be forgotten. Hope Everyone is safe.
i wish you strength....
I feel very sorry for you, Ryan. Wish you and your family all the best.
Bruce's autobiography was a letter to his fans. He's distilled the heart and soul of the book down into three minutes fifty-nine. That's what great song writers do.
Yes, and it meant a helluva lot to me when I was younger to get Letters from Authors, and an E Mail just doesn't mean anywhere near as much.
El que provoques es tan important com el que fas per la teva biografia. PERÒ has de ser gran, "grande" artista i un HOME gran, per a saber-ho i saber-ho , mostrar.

The BOSS❤ je vous adore Bruce Springsteen vous venez en France à Marseille et il n y a plus de places😭 j'en ai pleuré pour de vrai!!! Comment vous faites je regarde tous vos derniers concerts de la tournée, comment vous faites pour chanter et faire de la guitare avec tant d'émotions et de force pendant 3h!!! Bravo 👏💪👍🙏🏼 prenez soin de vous, des vôtres et tous les sacrés musiciens aussi! ❤😊
Just like a warm, comforting embrace when listening to this. The hardness of this year softened a little knowing we have more to come.
So true!!!
The Boss and that song have made me feel like waiting for a postman delivering that very letter to me.
Glad to have you back, Bruce
ItsNotLupus don’t have to wait this is it . But keep checking more to come 👍

The most inspirational aspect of the man is how joyful he and his band are when they create their music. Enjoying what you do is the hallmark of eternal success!
my son gave me the CD for my birthday, wow what great songs. stay healthy and visit germany with your new album. Take care of you all. greetings from Hamburg, Germany
If anyone can cut though the darkness enveloping the world at the moment with a ray of light and hope dressed in rock and Roll it's the Boss! Didn't realise how much I and many others needed this today!
So true
Absolute LEGEND! One of the greatest singer/songwriter, rock and rollers ever!
His songwriting prowess lands him in a category of few members.
God bless The Boss!
Well said.
So glad it was recorded live with the core E Street Band together! Can't wait to hear the rest! Can't wait to hear the three old unreleased songs in their new form!
There is a reason that he is called "The Boss". This guy really knows how to put a song together. The song is great, but the recording is phenomenal!!!! The call and answer from the guitar and keyboards: the drums that go loud and soft with great fills for emphasis. What a great piece of work this is. Thanks Boss!!!!
@ So how does the fact you don't like this make him a moron.
Yes, the keyboards are great in this song. Shades of the late, great Danny Federici... so who is playing the keys, Roy?
You are right Bruce Springsteen - the HANDWRITTEN LETTER first
Thank you 🙏 for your wisdom.
A letter to Putin ...
Boss and the E Street Band - perfection. Oh, if they were on tour next year! New album, new tour, please!!
I did not see this coming. I am speechless with joy. The Boss is back.
to be fair, he just released an amazing solo album last year -- he never left!
@@harry1t6 Yes you are right, I forget to say with the W St. Band. I have many of his great solo albums.
So.... Today I started working in a nursing home locally till this wretched virus gets lost and I can go back to my main job. There's an auld fella there called Bill and we talked a bit through his struggling breath but on the side in his little room between old photos I found a short "autobiography" he'd written and laminated. It covered his childhood, his time in Africa in ww2, the birth of his kids. Stories from the workplace. Loves, losses, passions.. Even down to why he'd decided he'd never vote tory! Incredibly moving to read a life lived but I held it together. Till I heard this song.. Sometimes the songs just come at the right time..
What a privilege to read such a precious document.
An insight into the life of another soul.
A true treasure.
As an aside --- Are you the Davey Jones from Davey Jones Locker, beneath the sea? I kid...or do I? The letter you could write about that locker.
Thanks for sharing such a moving story. Good luck in your job!
i am at nottingham, economics and etri. innovation and era. all in the innovation
Bruce always comes at the right time!!! Greetings from Italy!!!!
I am gonna get slack from this I know....I am 63 and have been through all of the Springsteen times, but to me, this is the best song I have heard from him. I love it so much. Remember, this is just my opinion. I just wanted to share it. Love it so much.
Thanks for the love and support . I decided to take out time today out of my busy schedule to get close to my fans and know their thoughts towards my career and I came across you through my official TH-cam CHANNEL insight.
Bellissima canzone. Mi ricorda il Bruce dei primi anni 80(THE RIVER). Spero possa tornare al più presto dal vivo in Italia con la leggendaria ESTREET BAND....non vedo l'ora.
GRAZIE BRUCE X ESSERE STATO AL MIO FIANCO IN QUESTI 35 ANNI
Speriamo Stefano!
Dear Mr Springsteen,
I want you to know how deeply moved I was on every song in this production, Letter To You. Your poetry and your deep sense of a meaningful life are keenly felt and I was left very inspired.
Thank you and the E Street Band for a very moving work of art.

Bruce is so poetic, whether writing a book or an all-enduring song. Thanks, Bruce, for your honesty about your life and your observations about America. I’m with you!
Hello how are you doing today..👋
You have such a profound impact on my carrier that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for your comment.I really appreciate you as my fan I will love you to contact me on my email Springsteenb068@gmail.com
Sir. You are simply the best. In November I had an operation and complications meant I nearly kicked the bucket twice. I am home, my family is amazing but you, yes you, have made me know there is still something worth living for. My darling girls have their letters. Thank you for being a true soul. Keep safe sir, you, and yours mean so much to so many. Your music is life to many.
So glad he's back with new material. Something about the way The Boss weaves the words and music together, a beautiful lamp for darkened times.
You’re sweet 😃😃Kindly drop me your hangout to talk more better ❣️❣️
If Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band could make it in 2020, then we can make it. Thankyou Boss.
Yeap that's right take day by if you wake up.in the morning you.can make.it any day
I got to see them 2 years back in County Cork Ireland, and as a musician even when playin in a stadium they were one of the tighest rock'n'roll 'dive bar' bands i've ever heard..i dont reckon with clarence and federici gone there wont be a lot more tours..(altho clarences nephew is just as good with the sax)
I saw him and the E Street Band here in Brazil in 2013, I'll never ever forget. Life changing experience, its like your whole life passes through your eyes and you see that guy restless, then he comes to the pit, hugs me, hugs everybody and then i could see THAT Fender Telecaster, i could see so close, that guitar, that rusty wood, covered in sweat, and then the whole band does something that I'll never forget; they look at us in the audience smiling and is not a gimmick, its pretty sincere and you can feel the warmth, and then you feel so happy, you leave the place thinking about redefining your life with the parameters of quality and energy and humanity that you just saw. That was what seeing Bruce and E St Band for the first time made for me, i leave the concert wanting to be a better person
@@1380Bruno Yeah man it's 'real' for want of a better term. You can't fake a love for rock'n'roll like that, nor a connection to the crowds. 'All i got is a red guitar, three chords and the truth' people sometime overcook rock'n'roll and i find a lot of the magic gets lost cos your seeking perfection, whilst the muse is seeking you but she's sick of talking to him bout chord progressions! Just do it! Lol
When i first started the guitar the first song i played was one i wrote myself. I quickly figured out that no-one cud tell me i'm playin my own tunes right! Lol (and i still live by that motto)
Absolutely man, its our own expression, like Bruce wrote in the book, its the noise and the words that express your very soul, its real, you make a connection, you play that chord, you ser someone in the audience who reacts to that sound, to that lyric, its magic. Hope with ALL my strenghts that we can see him and the band one last time....
And that is how it's done.
Who is Bruce?
- For millions of people around the world his masterpiece is the soundtrack to their lives. For decades.
- For millions of people his music has been vital in their everyday lives.
- For millions of people he still gives faith in humanity.
- For millions of people he gives a positive image of the USA
- He's an artist recognized as a legend but always available to meet fans (in a park of New Jersey or elsewhere).
- He is an international treasure

The BOSS was never gone! ;-)
He is still THE BEST!!!!😀
Emotionally powerful - many thanks to Bruce and the Band for this gift, especially at this space and time. And thanks to Ron Aniello for his tireless efforts on this the stellar production and mature greatness of the sound.
I remember seeing Bruce with long hair playing cover tunes with a power trio at Hodi, a quarry lake between Randolph and Roxbury in ’69 or ’70. We were so proud in ’73 of Greetings from Asbury Park that a kid from New Jersey had released an album that no one knew outside the Garden State. I believe I lost my hearing at his show (or Montrose) at the Joint in the Woods in Parsippany the following year and knew this guy was something special. The rest is history, but like a fine wine, he is getting better and more special with time. God Bless You Bruce and the E Street Band and keep on rocking our souls!
@Bruce Springsteen Thank you! I am trying to get tickets for your opening show in Tampa February 2023. If you have a few to spare, let me know. Regless, keep on rocking and we love you.
@Bruce Springsteen Anytime anywhere!
Bruce pulled this song and Album out of nowhere it just flowed It's his Best since the Rising . Amazing
Western Stars was pretty good
@@frankiepizzurro This Album came from within Stars was planned on
