Bruce Springsteen and The National‘s Bryce Dessner have teamed up for a new song.
The tune is for Rebecca Miller’s film “She Came To Me” and is called ‘Addicted To Romance.’ The romantic comedy, starring Peter Dinklage, is due to have its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival this week.
‘Addicted To Romance’, which was written and performed by Springsteen and orchestrated by Dessner, who also worked on the film’s score, will be heard for the first time during the screening on February 16.
Miller talked about the song saying, “I really love Bruce’s music. For the end of ‘She Came to Me,’ we wanted an original song. I had a secret wish it might be Bruce, but I was reluctant to ask because I felt it was so unlikely, and frankly I was a bit shy. Bryce Dessner encouraged me to ask, he was sure Bruce would love the film, so I approached him. Bruce and [his wife Patti Scialfa] ended up watching the film, and, to my delight, they both loved it! Bruce said he’d take a few days to see if anything came to him for a song. Miraculously, ‘Addicted to Romance’ was the result. He says he was inspired by the film, which is a great honor for me.”
