History & Influence:
While most of the songs were written after September 11, 2001, a few pre-date the attacks. Springsteen got the inspiration for the album a few days after the 9/11 attacks, when a stranger in a car stopped next to him, rolled down his window and said: "We need you now."[2] Springsteen also told this story to journalist Mark Binelli in the August 22, 2002 issue of Rolling Stone. "My City of Ruins" was originally performed in, and written about, Asbury Park, New Jersey. After its performance by Springsteen on the post-September 11 America: A Tribute to Heroes telethon, however, the song took on an expanded meaning. "Further On (Up the Road)" was performed live in Madison Square Garden during the summer of 2000 at the end of the Springsteen-E Street Reunion Tour, and was professionally recorded, although it was not included in the HBO, DVD, or CD versions of Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band: Live in New York City. "Waitin' on a Sunny Day" was originally written in the early- or mid-1990s and played in at least one soundcheck during the Reunion Tour. Springsteen has commented that "Nothing Man" was originally completed in 1994 but re-recorded for this album. "Worlds Apart," the most experimental song on the album, features a heavy Middle Eastern along with Qawwali singers in the introduction.[3] "The Fuse," another experimental track, features a subtle Hip-Hop beat and vocal looping. A re-recorded version of the song, with an orchestral backing, features in the Spike Lee-directed film 25th Hour.
"Mary's Place" is directly inspired by Sam Cooke's "Meet Me at Mary's Place";[4][5] The gospel-like "My City of Ruins" is organized around the melody line of Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready".[6]While most of the songs were written after September 11, 2001, a few pre-date the attacks.
