The rockers' long-anticipated collaboration has finally landed.
But “Dustland” marks the first time the two have officially collaborated on music.
“I didn’t know how to respond to that.
I had a little bit of trepidation.”
Springsteen, however, was touched by his influence on Flowers.
“It makes you happy to see where your music goes and who it inspires,” he said.
“I find that to be very thrilling.”
Ultimately, the COVID-19 pandemic halted the pair’s plans to join forces.
But it looks like they’re finally making up for lost time.
“‘Dustland’ was written in the middle of her battle with cancer,” Flowers wrote.
“It was an attempt to better understand my dad, who is sometimes a mystery to me.
To grieve for my mother.
It was my therapy.
It was cathartic.”
Flowers went on to explain how Springsteen helped with that healing.
“Their struggles, and their losses…
I’m grateful to him for opening this door for me.”
