If you’ve been riding along with me these past four years, you know there are a\u00a0lot\u00a0of unreleased Springsteen works-in-progress floating around out there.<\/p>\n

We’ve listened to early prototypes of familiar songs, partially bluffed outtakes that contributed lyrical or musical DNA to other songs, and sometimes just musical dead ends.<\/p>\n

Almost all of those tracks are from the 1970s and 1980s, though. Almost never do we hear anything from the nineties forward, and especially not with the E Street Band.<\/p>\n

So that’s what makes today’s entry special. “I’m Going Back” (which almost certainly is not the title Bruce had in mind, if he ever even got that far) dates back to the January 1995 Greatest Hits sessions that yielded “Back in Your Arms<\/a>,” “Blood Brothers<\/a>,” and “Secret Garden<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Almost every song from those sessions has been released in some fashion or other, but “I’m Going Back” is an exception.<\/p>\n
