Bruce Springsteen has always been known for having a distinct sound. Semi-raspy voice, often times powerful vocals on ‘Born In The USA’ and other Classic Hits. But in a newly released, never before heard song, we hear a softer side to The Boss. His song ‘Faithless’ will be on Springsteen’s soon to be released box set, ‘Tracks II: The Lost Albums’. It would appear ‘Faithless’ was supposed to be on a soundtrack for a Western type movie, but it never happened. Bruce took to social media recently and explained the thinking behind this song, writing: “Faithless was a piece of work I took (on commission) for a spiritual Western film that was preparing to be made around 2004. In Hollywood, I have found, you can disappear into ‘development’ for long periods of time, so I thought I would release these now and let you hear my results of this interesting project.”
‘Faithless’ is very tranquil. Calming. Oddly enough, I can hear it being played at a funeral or memorial service. Take a listen and see what you think. His box set is due to be released on June 27th.
