Wow, he kept this under wraps. Solid first song for Bruce, who turns 71 at the end of this month. Please, try to restrain yourself from going where every thread goes if you disagree with his politics. Please. Pretty please.

No, it does not at all.Sounds like his last album (which I listened to a couple of times)

it sounds like a majority of his songs.
If you like his musical "voice" then you love it.
If you're looking for Bruce to produce a different sound....it's boring.

Guess that different people hear different things.In fairness -- the tone of the song actually sounds a lot like Western Stars. Switch up the music and the lyrics would fit the vibe of that album.
It's not supposed to be a hit, and certainly was not written to be a hit. Musicians in their 70s are not chasing hit singles. They know it's impossible. It's a song that's intended to connect with his worldwide fan base and people in his age group.I love Bruce's music and hate his politics. I think this song is kinda "meh." It's not a hit.
Me too. Do you think this song sounds like Western Stars or something else or nothing else?It's not supposed to be a hit, and certainly was not written to be a hit.

I can't wait to hear the rest of the album! I am particular eager to hear the updated versions of Janey Needs a Shooter, If I Was the Priest, and Song for Orphans, three 1970s tunes that were never officially released.
I think the melody has a touch of a Western Stars feel to it, but not much. More importantly, when I listen to it, I hear the E Street Band loud and clear. Although there was heavy instrumentation on Western Stars (especially the movie soundtrack version), it was unquestionably a Springsteen solo album. This album will be a BS&ESB record.Me too.

A Belieber weighs in on a rock legend. 😉Sorry Boss.. I do not like this song. 🙅♀️
The man can't sing, he just twists his face up into a contorted state and belches out talk/yell singing.
It's usually a love or hate thing, and not too many people in between. I look at it this way- he is a better singer but not as good as a songwriter as Bob Dylan.
I prefer Steve. Two different styles. Nils has better chops/finesse, but Steve knows how to roadhouse.Very good song, terrific arrangement and melodies, with a few good rock and roll hooks. This will be a hit for Bruce and the E Street Band. Nils Lofgren is tremendous on lead guitar, as usual. Excited to hear the rest of the album.

Back in 1983, we were near the front row at La Bamba's Holiday Hurrah at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank. Bruce showed up as a special guest and brought the house down. Nils was on the bill, but during Bruce's set, Nils was dancing around the stage, and he looked kind of ridiculous as if he was trying to outdo Bruce. Someone remarked that Bruce must have been pissed at him. Several months later, after Steve left to form The Disciples of Soul, we were shocked Nils was named as his replacement. It's nice to have 3 guitars on stage when they tour.I've probably seen Nils early group GRIN about 10 times in the 1970s, he has some terrific hits of his own with Grin. He also was Neil Young's lead guitarist on some of his best early albums with Crazy Horse. Nils said last month that this new album is their best album in decades. This excellent first single has me believing he's not exaggerating.
Solid second song from Springsteen's upcoming album. This song is about his first band, the Castiles. Some excellent concert footage:
“'Ghosts' is about the beauty and joy of being in a band, and the pain of losing one another to illness and time. 'Ghosts' tries to speak to the spirit of the music itself, something none of us owns but can only discover and share together. In the E Street Band, it resides in our collective soul, powered by the heart." - Bruce
It's this song, and cued up:I hate springsteen but I heard a song on an indie station that I liked. It sounded like a live version of a song Id never heard before. The only lyrics I can remember said something like "we'll meet on the other side" anyone know what song it was? Thanks

No one caresI love Bruce's music and hate his politics. I think this song is kinda "meh." It's not a hit.
Again, no one cares in the least. On either opinion.My reaction to 95% of his music and 100% of his politics🤮
