She additionally carried out a model new track we’re premiering known as “feels good,” a twisted story about flirting with dying, going to extremes and self-sabotage.
Springsteen additionally included a slow-burning model of “ghost in my guitar,” swapping the electrical guitar carried out by Chris Stapleton on her album for a cello, earlier than closing with a stripped-down model of the title reduce to Twenty One thing, a deeply transferring coming-of-age track that left loads of us on the workplace in tears.
