On Thursday (May 1), Bruce Springsteen unearthed another lost track that will be featured on his upcoming box set Tracks II: The Lost Albums. "Faithless" was written as the title track of a soundtrack for a film that was never complete.
“Faithless” was written as the title track of a soundtrack for a film that was never completed. Most of the material on the album was written and recorded after the “Devils & Dust” tour wrapped up in November 2005 and before the release of “We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions” in April 2006. Springsteen wrote the entire soundtrack to the "spiritual Western" film before production began. In addition to "Faithless," the shelved album also features four instrumental tracks.
“This was a really unusual collection of songs,” Springsteen said of “Faithless” and the unreleased soundtrack in a press release. “You could recognize details and maybe a character or two. But for the most part, I just wrote atmospheric music that I thought would fit.”
"Faithless" follows the release of "Blind Spot" and "Rain in the River." The full soundtrack will be included on Tracks II: The Lost Albums, which is slated for a June 27 release. Listen to "Faithless" below.
