Bruce Springsteen has shared a previously unheard track, 'Blind Spot'.
The Boss is to release a major box set, Tracks II: The Lost Albums, which includes unheard albums from the singer, made between 1983 and 2018. The box set will also feature as many as 74 unheard songs, including 'Blind Spot'.
Blind Spot, which you can check out below, is from Springsteen's 'Streets Of Philadelphia Sessions', looking at themes including betrayal and heartbreak within a relationship.
“That was just the theme that I locked in on at that moment", Springsteen said in a statement. “I don’t really know why. Patti and I, we were having a great time in California. But sometimes if you lock into one song you like, then you follow that thread. I had ‘Blind Spot,’ and I followed that thread through the rest of the record".
“I said, ‘Well, maybe it’s time to just do something with the band, or remind the fans of the band or that part of my work life,’” he added. “So that’s where we went. But I always really liked ‘Streets of Philadelphia Sessions’…during the Broadway show, I thought of putting it out [as a standalone release]. I always put them away, but I don’t throw them away”.
