About I'll See You In My Dreams

I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and released on his 2020 album Letter To You. The above lyrics are for Bruce Springsteen's album version of I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS as released in 2020. Three of the album's twelve tracks are new recordings of unreleased songs that Springsteen wrote in the early seventies. The remaining nine were "recently written," as per the album's press release. On 05 May 2019, during the opening night of Netflix's third annual FYSEE event in Los Angeles, Springsteen sat down for a long conversation with director Martin Scorsese. "I've spent about seven years without writing anything for the band," Springsteen told Scorsese at one point. "I couldn't write anything for the band. [...] And then about a month or so ago, I wrote almost an album's worth of material for the band. And it came out of just... I mean, I know where it came from, but at the same time, it just came out of almost nowhere. And it was good, you know. I had about two weeks of those little daily visitations, and it was so nice. It makes you so happy."

Just like about half the songs on Letter To You, I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS was written around April 2019 (see the "Letter To You" section below for more details). The album version of I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS was recorded with The E Street Band live in studio in November 2019 (see the "Letter To You" section below for more details).

Letter To You is Bruce Springsteen's twentieth studio album. It was officially released on 23 Oct 2020 on Columbia Records. It consists of 12 tracks, all written by Springsteen, and clocks at 58:17. The album was officially announced on 10 Sep 2020. In the press release, it was described as "a rock album fueled by the band's heart-stopping, house-rocking signature sound."
