Album version
(Someday we'll be together)
(Someday we'll be together)
You're far away from me my love
And just as sure, my baby
As sure as there are stars above
I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say now
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
(Someday we'll be together)
My love is yours, my baby
Oh right from the start
You, you possess my soul now
And, honey, you own my heart
But someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
(Someday we'll be together)
Well, long time ago, my sweet thing
I made a big mistake, honey
I, I, I said good (bye, bye, bye, bye, bye)
Oh, ever, ever, ever, darling
Ever since that day
All I wanna be, (all I wanna be)
All I wanna do is, (all I wanna do)
Cry now, cry now, cry
I long for you each night
Ooh just to kiss your sweet lips
Hold you ever so tight
I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say now
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Someday we'll be together
Say it, say it, say it, say it again
(Someday we'll be together)
Some sweet day, some sweet day
(Someday we'll be together)
Walk right here, come on
(Someday we'll be together)
Oh walk right now to me, baby
I need your love...

Only The Strong Survive is Bruce Springsteen's twenty-first studio album. It was officially released on 11 Nov 2022 on Columbia Records. It consists of 15 tracks, all of which are covers. This marks the second time that Springsteen releases a cover album following We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions in 2006.
The album is "a collection of fifteen soul music greats," as described in the press release. It "celebrates soul music gems from the legendary catalogues of Motown, Gamble and Huff, Stax and many more." Springsteen commented: "I wanted to make an album where I just sang. And what better music to work with than the great American songbook of the Sixties and Seventies? I've taken my inspiration from Levi Stubbs, David Ruffin, Jimmy Ruffin, the Iceman Jerry Butler, Diana Ross, Dobie Gray, and Scott Walker, among many others. I've tried to do justice to them all and to the fabulous writers of this glorious music. My goal is for the modern audience to experience its beauty and joy, just as I have since I first heard it. I hope you love listening to it as much as I loved making it."
Only The Strong Survive was tracked at Thrill Hill Recording (Springsteen's home studio) in Colts Neck, NJ, following the sessions for Letter To You, which took place around November 2020. The core recording featured only Bruce Springsteen and producer Ron Aniello. In addition to lead vocals, Springsteen played guitar and keys on some tracks and Aniello played virtually every other instrument. Additional parts, including horns, strings, and background vocals were recorded at Power Station At BerkleeNYC in New York City, NY. Sam Moore makes a guest appearance on the album, singing harmony vocals on two tracks. His parts were recorded at Bullseye Studios in Miami, FL, with Andres Bermudezat engineering. Only The Strong Survive was produced by Ron Aniello with Bruce Springsteen, executive produced by Jon Landau, engineered by Rob Lebret and Ron Aniello at Thrill Hill Recording, mixed by Rob Lebret with Ron Aniello at Thrill Hill Recording, and mixed by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering Studios in Portland, ME.
Only The Strong Survive was officially announced on 29 Sep 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (02:00 p.m. GMT). The announcement was made by Springsteen himself who addressed fans in a pre-recorded video posted online a few minutes earlier.
In anticipation to the announcement, Springsteen dropped hints on his social media accounts over the course of the previous three days. On 26 and 27 September, he shared each morning a photo of a road and of a steering wheel respectively, without any caption or comment.
On 28 September, he posted a 26-second promo clip of a vintage car FM radio dial turning to different stations and listening in for a few seconds, each station playing a different song from the upcoming album.
Only The Strong Survive is available as a single-disc CD and as a two-disc LP set, as well as digital download and streaming.
