THE PITT, 1.14 "8:00pm" // Bruce Springsteen, "Waiting On The End Of The World" from TRACKS II: The Lost Albums
which “tracks 2” album are you most excited for?
1. LA Garage Sessions ‘83: The symbiotic writing and home-recording process Springsteen employed on Nebraska that would extend and grow with his temporary relocation to Southern California in late 1982.
2. Streets of Philadelphia Sessions: from 1994 and expands on the more synth and electronic-heavy style Springsteen was recording in making the song Streets of Philadelphia. Explores an interest in the rhythms of mid-1990s contemporary music, and particularly West Coast hip-hop. Single: Blind Spot
3. Faithless: A moving meditation on purpose, belief, and acceptance. Recorded from 2005-2006: music made for a “spiritual Western” film that, unlike Philadelphia, never got made, leaving the material for years until now. Bruce’s sons, Evan and Sam, are credited as contributors. Single: Faithless
4. Somewhere North of Nashville: a previously-unheard collection inspired by the sounds of honky tonk, rockabilly and uptempo country. Recorded simultaneously with The Ghost of Tom Joad in the summer of 1995 and features much of the core band at the heart of those sessions. Single: Repo Man
5. Inyo: Inspired during a series of motorcycle trips across the Southwest. Thematically, several songs on the record examine the Mexican diaspora. Written during Bruce’s time living in California and also revolve around the history of the region. Single: Adelita
6. Twilight Hours: promises an intriguing mixture of noir and orchestral arrangements. Written in tandem with 2019’s “Western Stars,” over the course of a decade, it’s a collection that Springsteen describes as “romantic, lost-in-the-city songs” — ruminating on what becomes of the brokenhearted. Single: Sunday Love
7. Perfect World: eyes up a large, arena-rock-sounding E Street Band effort that was assembled purposefully for the release of this box set. “That’s the one thing on this that wasn’t initially conceived as an album, but it was something I put together.” Single: Rain in the River

ok hold on wait. i just realized i could type up a guide to what songs are lyrically related for the most interesting listening experience narrative wise instead of telling you my favorites right away bc i'm still deciding. so ofc that's what this is about to be under the cut pls click under the cut
LA Garage Sessions:
Don't Back Down on Our Love ⟶ Black Mountain Ballad. always has to be that fucking river doesn't it. basically DBDOOL is the dance joint you play at the club where they danced on and on, BMB is the aftermath that's depressing as fuck
Fugitive's Dream ⟶ Unsatisfied Heart ⟶ Fugitive's Dream (Ballad). i said enough about this in a prev post and i still cannot muster up enough coherency to do it in this one with real words. just know it's insane and he's insane and if i end up in custody this is the reason why. fuck you Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen men will be fighting demons and it's just bisexuality set to an absolutely sickening bass line (OG!Fugitive) and foreboding chorus (Unsatisfied Heart) and not fully uncensored until the howl of the ballad version tears everything wide open. The Promised Land but if it was Worse somehow and the protag married his girl. and then the Horrors begun. alt OST for Brokeback Mountain before the film or the short story were even a thing
Jim Deer ⟶ Richfield Whistle. we love timeline fuckery in this house. which one is the dream which one is the nightmare? don't ask. take it at face value or don't just know Jimmy boy's hearing that fucking harmonica in his dreams. it's the Richfield whistle i assume
Streets of Philadelphia Sessions:
Blind Spot ⟶ Waiting On The End Of The World ⟶ One Beautiful Morning ⟶ The Farewell Party. all of this loops back into their progenitor (the one and only Streets of Philadelphia) but especially. especially WOTEOTW. you want to get existential real quick put this lineup on and prepare to be ruined for the rest of the day
Somewhere North of Nashville:
Repo Man ⟶ Delivery Man ⟶ Detail Man. lbr Delivery Man is only tangentially related to the other two bc of its title. Repo and Detail are siblings down to the verse structure and musical execution. when all's said and done though i need myself a detail man. and yes that does include dykes mascs studs and butches pls hit me up
not mentioned here:
Faithless, Inyo, Twilight Hours and Perfect World. two of these are literal cinematically oriented projects (Faithless my soundtrack beloved. Inyo the one that needs a film so it can be an actual soundtrack), one of these has songs that are pretty much all on the same theme-esque (Twilight Hours) and the other is a classic here-are-all-your-options offering E Street Band style (Perfect World). what i can tell you is that Faithless and Inyo CANNOT be listened to out of order those are full-fledged storylines. do not skip around you may regret it. that is all
edit: put them all into a handy playlist. you're welcome
Don't listen to the Tracks II propaganda trying to convince you that "Stand On It" has actual lyrics. We all know it doesn't.
Not us having to wait 80 more days to listen to the rest of Tracks 2 come on bro

😱
We inhabited each other like it was some kind of disease / I thought that I was flying but I was crawling on my knees / Everybody's got a blind spot / Brings 'em down / Everybody's got a blind spot they can't get around
