Track Description
Available in:
"The Rising" is the title track on Bruce Springsteen's 12th studio album The Rising, and was released as a single in 2002. Springsteen wrote the song in reaction to the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City. It gained critical praise and earned Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance of the year, as well as a nomination for Song of the Year. Rolling Stone named it the 35th best song of the decade. VH1 placed it 81st on its list of the "100 Greatest Songs of the '00s".
The single was released ahead of the album, initially appearing on AOL First Listen on June 24, 2002 and then being officially released on July 16. There was a considerable marketing push for the single and the subsequent album, based on the September 11 connection and on being the first studio recordings from Springsteen with the E Street Band in 15 years. "The Rising" also debuted Springsteen's collaboration with producer Brendan O'Brien, who gave Springsteen a somewhat more modern-sounding feel than did former producer Jon Landau. Although "The Rising" was not a pop hit, peaking at only #52 on the Billboard Hot 100, it achieved significant radio airplay early on and kept it in some quarters, making #24 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, #16 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #1 on the Triple-A chart in the U.S. It did not place on the UK Singles Chart.
"The Rising" was included on both of Springsteen's subsequent compilation albums, 2003's The Essential Bruce Springsteen and 2009's Wal-Mart-only Greatest Hits. A concert performance was also included on the 2003 Live in Barcelona video release.
