NEW OLD SONG is a Bruce Springsteen song from around 1977. It's unknown if "New Old Song" is the title for a song on its own or a working or descriptive title for another.
According to Sony's logs of Bruce Springsteen's studio sessions, NEW OLD SONG was recorded on 27 Sep 1977 at The Record Plant in New York City, NY.
In his 2012 book E Street Shuffle: The Glory Days Of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Clinton Heylin speculates that NEW OLD SONG is DOWN BY THE RIVER. He mentions that DOWN BY THE RIVER "supposedly had the working title 'Say Sons'", and he relates it to "the provisional title, 'Old Sons', also logged as 'New Old Song', from September 27, [1977]." Based on the evidence at hands, it's a stretch to assume that NEW OLD SONG is DOWN BY THE RIVER.
