About This Track

The song was written in November 2000, for an Asbury Park, New Jersey Christmas show benefit to help promote the revitalization of the city and took on an entirely new meaning soon after the September 11 attacks, offering a message of hope and rising from the ruins.

    Yeah, I also thought it was written after 9/11 but it was not. It became unfortunately and eerily fitting and now it's just eternally touching. I'll Never grow tired of it's beauty, power and sadness. It's just one of those songs that was MEANT to exist.

    For You is an epic visual storytelling time machine that encourages you to hop on for a ride down thunderous roads to simpler times for a journey through the heart of darkness where the fans feel so close and intimately personal with Springsteen like he's an old college buddy. This book is not just a fine addition to your collection, but is essential for any Springsteen fan. It is a treasure trove of pictures and stories that will not just take you for a ride down memory lane, but will leave you with an impenetrable sense of hope much the same way you feel cruising down the highway and having 'Thunder Road' blast from your speakers with the wind in your hair. When was the last time the written word did that?" www.foryoubruce.com
