Track Description
Available in:
Like most of the songs on Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., "For You" was recorded at 914 Sound Studios in Blauvelt, New York between July and September 1972. Musicians participating in these sessions included future E Street Band members David Sancious, Garry Tallent and Vini Lopez. It is a climactic, percussion-driven song. Unlike many other songs on Springsteen's debut album, it takes the time to pace and build.
The lyrics are about a woman who has attempted suicide. She does not need the singer's "urgency" even though her life is "one long emergency" as Springsteen sings in the chorus (along with "and your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free"). The singer is committed to doing anything to save her, and admires her ability to hang on.
Once again, the lyrics are evocative of images and not details, and little can be said in description.
"For You" has also been covered by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, The Format, and Greg Kihn.
