Bruce Springsteen - The Time That Never Was Lyrics

Sounds like something straight off Darkness on the Edge of Town. My favourite track on the River unreleased stuff that out a few years ago.

This is his best track ever
Bruce x

This is unbelievable
First time of hearing this
My new favourite track
Love you Bruce
Dont ever stop writing and touring

Can't believe this didn't make it onto the album....so Roy Orbison....one of my all time favourites.

Searching my own name brought me here.

This, Loose Ends, Cadillac Ranch and Price You Pay. All off the River Outtakes Album. I listen to them on the way to work to get me in the mood. Then to wind down on the way home it's Wreck On The Highway (paradoxically), Nowhere Man and Fade Away. The Boss is still unsurpassed in my opinion.

Another goddam masterpiece. Beyond talented, genius, or legendary. The best.

Unreal this

PBNJ brought me here!

Thanks Bruce for always writing and singing.

The end of a movie

Patti cakes brought me here

Patti Cake$ <3

Patti Cake$ brought me here

Loved Patti Cakes$, but been loving this song for years.

RIGHT?! That movie reeled me in and I never let go...glad I stuck around for the credits...I have to see it again - with my wife and daughter...

Me too💚

Me too!! So awesome!!

grande icónico!😎

I cant admit to being a fan of THE BOSS, this is some tune, was used on the end credits to a film I watched recently. On repeat.

Russell Greig was it Patti Cake$ ?

movie_dude_ Yes. It's Patti Cake$. Just went to the movie few days ago 👍

Surprising song for the ending of a movie about rap. I did like the movie. But this song reminded me of Eddie and The Cruisers.

In my opinion,this album is superior to the released album 'The River',same as 'The Promise',way superior to'Darkness On The Edge Of Town',but,that's just my opinion

new song for a picture

looks like Alessandro del Piero

Gianni Florio me too. Just watched the movie. I'm not that much of Springsteen fan either. But this is has a great sound.

Yeah ... sure ...

Bruce is Irish - italian. Bruce Springsteen Zerilli.

Another Springsteen track, with the song structure, chords, and melody rooted in the doo-wop, Drifters, etc. era. One of the many reasons to love him.

.......♡♡♡

I love your "reply" "comment. It reminds me of the great Bruce song (of so many), 'Hearts of Stone' . . . as also performed graciously by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes.

My favorite outtake from this box set. Does anybody else think this sounds like John Cafferty's "Tender Years"? I know that they knew each other around that time. I heard that Bruce was a big fan of Beaver Brown back then and always used to ask John if he could get up and jam with them. I always thought they were a big influence on Bruce. I'm just saying.

It's possible . But the talent level of Bruce and John aren't even in the same room . Some people are capable of a few good songs , others have careers spanning an entire lifetime writing one classic after an another .
John is good but Bruce is an extremely rare talent , and that is an understatement .
And I'm not only talking about John Cafferty , but Jon Bon Jovi as well . Bruce is a musical and lyrical genius . His performances in the 1970's were probably some of the best rock and roll showed ever .

Rock and roll " shows " , dam auto-spell , lol .

Cafferty came AFTER Bruce. Bruce already had his second album out around the time Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band formed. They didnt even release a debut album until the 80s and I believe they had a hard time getting signed because they were too much like Bruce and the E Street Band. Bruce wrote this song in 1980 (amazingly kept it shelved for 35 years, not even worth for his Tracks box set...which is amazing too). I believe Tender Years came out in 1983 (or was it written before the Eddie and the Cruisers movie) but the two songs do sound very similar. I know the director of that movie modeled the band after Bruce and the E Street Band and I believe Southside Johnny was a musical consultant on the film too. To add even more conspiracy/mystery...I saw a video where Cafferty performed Tender Years at a tribute to Clarence Clemmons. There is also video from 1984 of Cafferty performing the song looking alot like Bruce did at that time.

Tender Years is a great song. Very Bruce-sounding. However, this song was recorded in June 1979 whereas Cafferty's Tender Years wasn't released until the following year as a single. I do believe the coda in Tender Years was inspired by Jungleland. It's kind of a Jungleland in reverse, but that's just my opinion.

Really. Should have made the album

a nod to roy orbison?
