    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

      But what many Americans don't know:

      He could sell out every stadium in every
      city multiple times - and often he does
      See you soon in Liverpool and Prague😊

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    Dear Bruce,
    I am a Polish and English teacher from Poland. I have been listening to your music since the very beginning.
    Furthermore, I believe we are almost the same age.
    I used to buy every new album which was released starting from Born in the U.S.A.in 1984.
    Your music was always with me, with my rising kids, in my home.
    I have watched most of your concerts several times. I have been listening to and singing your songs over and over.
    My students have been practicing English singing and telling stories based on your lyrics.
    I have watched your interviews and have been very proud of your friendship with president's Obama family.
    Your music has helped me to through my life. Thank you very much for that.
    My latest favorite is 'Letter To You,' the best-sounding album you have made since the 1980s.
    I'll See You In My Dreams became the song I can't stop listening to.
    I wish you and your family good health and happiness.
    Halina from Poland

      Come home and I'm anxious, to listen, as the pastor's words, manifest in song ! Not sure how things are politically, in Poland, but I can say, you will find, much in his music.. to carry you, or, navigate you thru up's and down's. Friends in Poland. Glad to have you aboard. Happy Thanksgiving. A holiday, of sorts, here. My favorite holiday. No gifts, other than you ! And now, a shared sense of humanity. Guide your family though. Rejoice in the splendor, that is, Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street band. Many happy returns. Boss love. 💙

      @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.

    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

    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.

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.

    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.

    • @cdgs7793

      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.

    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!)

      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 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!

      The strong sense that the "letter" is a metaphor for all of his songs is the main reason for my speculation, but there are other reasons. The autobiography, the Broadway show, the website's release of so many concerts over the last few years . . . all of these are the signs of a career winding down. Plus I think it was Max Weinberg who said in 2018 during the Broadway show run that the E Street Band was supposed to do one more album and tour, but that with the Broadway show's run being extended, he didn't know if they would get around to it.
      Well, they clearly got around to it. Since they recorded it in a five-day period near the end of 2019 , maybe the original idea was to work on the album more this year but COVID changed those plans.
      If this were to be the last new album (for either the E Street Band or both the band and Bruce), he still reportedly is contractually obligated to box sets of Nebraska and Born in the U. S. A. (perhaps now for release in 2022 and 2024, respectively). Additional never-released songs could still be released as part of additional albums or other box sets. And I have no doubt that Bruce will keep writing to some extent no matter his age, as long as his health allows. But this song and all the developments of the last five years or so that I already mentioned point to an ending in the not-too-distant future, whether it's with this album or a little later down the road.

    A true pop rock classic! Did you think he’d deliver anything less in his 70’s? Theres still a chance for rock & roll and for all of us, take his words and chase it. Chase what? Chase all that’s true! Chase all that’s true!

    Thank you so much for this song, Bruce. I found some comfort here, through the tears. The love of my life, David M Shayler, former MI5 Intelligence Officer, has had to vanish, as we are both being persecuted by the British government for telling the truth about evil crimes, in order to prevent carnage. Can you please send out a prayer in song to protect him and all those other brave souls out there living under extreme conditions? Thank you. Bruce.

    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!

      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/
