Bruce Springsteen to Sue David Lynch for the song used in his film “It’s Righteous Home” with an unfinished Collaboration
In an intriguing blend of music and cinema, legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen once conceived a song titled “It’s Righteous Home” with the hope of featuring it in a David Lynch film. Known for his surreal and evocative cinematic style, Lynch seemed like a perfect match for Springsteen’s raw, emotional sound. However, despite the collaboration never coming to fruition, the concept of “It’s Righteous Home” remains a fascinating glimpse into what could have been a unique artistic synergy.
Springsteen, whose lyrics often explore themes of yearning, struggle, and redemption, was reportedly drawn to Lynch’s darker, dreamlike storytelling. The song, written during the mid-1980s, was said to fit perfectly with Lynch’s tone, blending the Boss’s rock sensibilities with the director’s penchant for the eerie and the uncanny. Unfortunately, the collaboration never materialized, and “It’s Righteous Home” was left on the cutting room floor.
Today, the song remains a mysterious footnote in Springsteen’s expansive catalog. Although we may never hear it, the possibility of such a partnership remains an intriguing “what if” for fans of both Springsteen and Lynch.
