SONG FOR ORPHANS

6:34

BTF / UNE / PS / EY / US4 / DT / ATMF

Note: Recorded at 914 Sound Studios on February 29-30, 1973. Written soon after the May 2 audition for John Hammond and found on a proposed track-listing document for the Greetings album. "Song For Orphans" was an occasional inclusion in Bruce’s opening solo segment during the first three months of the Greetings album tour. A couple live audio performances from that period are circulating. Occasionally written as "Song To Orphans", "Song To The Orphans" and variations thereof. Although not considered for Album #2, Springsteen composed several lists of songs that were candidates for inclusion on his third album, and "Song For Orphans" made several.
