A handful of Bruce Springsteen<\/a> rarities, including the unreleased studio rendition of \u201cI\u2019ll Stand By You,\u201d highlight the soundtrack for the upcoming film Blinded By the Light<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Springsteen initially penned \u201cI\u2019ll Stand By You\u201d \u2013 previously known as \u201cI\u2019ll Stand By You Always\u201d \u2013 for inclusion in the 2001 film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone<\/em>, but producers opted not to include the contemporary ballad and the song remained unreleased.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was something that I thought would have fit lovely [in the movies],\u201d Springsteen said of the track, which leaked<\/a> in 2017. \u201cAt some point I\u2019d like to get [\u2018I\u2019ll Stand By You Always\u2019] into a children\u2019s movie of some sort. It was a pretty lovely song.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song has finally found a home \u2013 and its first official release \u2013 on the soundtrack for Blinded By the Light<\/em>, a coming-of-age, based-on-a-true-story film about a British teen of Pakistani descent in 1987 London whose life is transformed by Springsteen\u2019s music.<\/p>\n

In addition to \u201cI\u2019ll Stand By You\u201d and Springsteen classics like \u201cBadlands,\u201d \u201cHungry Heart\u201d and \u201cThunder Road,\u201d the soundtrack boasts two more live rarities: The first ever performance of \u201cThe River,\u201d from the No Nukes \u201979 concert at Madison Square Garden, and an acoustic rendition of \u201d The Promised Land\u201d that Springsteen performed in 2014 at Washington, D.C.\u2019s National Mall. Both live songs were previously unavailable on any album.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Filling out the soundtrack are of-the-era singles by a-ha and Pet Shop Boys and music from Blinded By the Light<\/em>\u2018s composer A.R. Rahman. The Blinded By the Light<\/em> soundtrack \u2013 available to preorder now<\/a> \u2013 is due out August 9th, with the film to follow on August 14th.<\/p>\n
