Letter to You
Quick Summary
Letter to You is a 2020 album by Bruce Springsteen, recorded live in the studio with the E Street Band. The album explores themes of aging and mortality, similar to his previous work Western Stars. However, Letter to You also emphasizes the power of music to sustain humanity and highlights the bond between musicians and their audience. Several songs on the album were originally written in the early 1970s, before Springsteen had a record contract. The recording's mood is described as uplifting rather than elegiac. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a tour could not be undertaken, and a concert film was released instead.1
