&#8220;I Wanna Start a New Life&#8221; dates back to late 1979, likely after Bruce had finished his ultimately abandoned <em>The Ties That Bind\u00a0<\/em>album, but before the second batch of sessions that produced the songs that would ultimately round out the two-disc <em>The River<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"v-Gh4b2H5f-1\" class=\"video-player\"><iframe title='VideoPress Video Player'

chorus to figure out what Bruce was reaching for, but we also have a gorgeous acoustic melody that sounds for all the world like something Jackson Browne might have recorded.<\/p>\n<p

New Life&#8221; would have fit neatly into one of Bruce&#8217;s favorite themes&#8211;a search for escape, redemption, and second chances.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, though, Bruce doesn&#8217;t seem to have pursued the song any further, so &#8220;I Wanna Start a New Life&#8221; never had a chance at any life at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I Wanna Start a New Life<br \/>\nRecorded:<\/strong> Late 1979
