Ghosts is the second cut from 'Letter To You', his new album with the E Street Band that's due to land on October 23. The first was the title track.
“'Ghosts' is about the beauty and joy of being in a band and the pain of losing one another to illness and time," said Springsteen. “'Ghosts' tries to speak to the spirit of the music itself, something none of us owns but can only discover and share together. In the E Street Band it resides in our collective soul, powered by the heart."
The latest cut is a masterclass in how to make arena-sized heartland rock a communal yet still personal and nostalgic experience. "By the end of the set we leave no one alive," shout Springsteen and the band with no backing.
