Renowned musician Bruce Springsteen has unveiled the latest track titled “Faithless”, marking the third release from his highly anticipated collection, Tracks II: The Lost Albums. This new addition to his extensive discography showcases Springsteen’s ability to blend emotive storytelling with captivating melodies.
The poignant song “Faithless” is drawn from an unreleased album that shares its name, which was crafted during a unique creative period between the conclusion of the Devils & Dust tour in November 2005 and the beginning of We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions in April 2006. This timeframe reflects a significant evolution in Springsteen’s musical journey, offering fans a glimpse into his artistic process.
You can listen to the evocative track “Faithless” below and immerse yourself in Springsteen’s intricate soundscapes that resonate with a sense of longing and introspection.
Originally, the song was intended to be featured in a film also titled Faithless, which never made it to the screen. Described in a press release as a “spiritual Western,” the movie was accompanied by the title track and four instrumental pieces that were specifically composed for its narrative. This revelation adds depth to Springsteen’s work, showcasing his talent for creating music that enhances visual storytelling.

Interestingly, the album was completed before the filming of the movie began. Springsteen himself remarked, “This was a really unusual collection of songs.” He elaborated that the songs captured recognizable details and perhaps a character or two, but predominantly, he focused on crafting atmospheric music that he felt would provide the right backdrop for the film’s themes.
Although the album is primarily a solo project recorded over a two-week period in Florida, the track “Faithless” features contributions from several members of the E Street Band, including Soozie Tyrell, Lisa Lowell, Curtis King, Jr., Michelle Moore, and Ada Dyer. Additionally, the talented Patti Scialfa and producer Ron Aniello also made notable appearances, enriching the song with their unique artistic influences.
