Eric Church closes each show on his Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour with his new single, “Springsteen.” He says the song, which might be his favorite track on Chief, takes him back to his own experience at a concert with a girl. “The interesting thing about this song is it has probably less to do with [Bruce] Springsteen than it is about what’s happening at this amphitheater up on the lawn. I had this experience,” says Eric. “If you’ve had this experience, no matter whether you stay together or don’t stay together, when you hear that person’s music whether it’s Springsteen or anybody else, you always think of the person you were with at that show.” 

• “Springsteen” is the latest single from Eric’s gold-certified/Grammy nominated album, Chief. It’s the follow-up to his recent No. 1 hit, “Drink in My Hand.”
• Eric is nominated for two Academy of Country Music Awards, including Album of the Year for Chief and Video of the Year for “Homeboy.”

Eric Church (Springsteen) 1 OC: …my favorites. :41

“The interesting thing about this song is it has probably less to do with [Bruce] Springsteen than it is about what’s happening at this amphitheater up on the lawn. I had this experience. If you’ve had this experience, no matter whether you stay together or don’t stay together, when you hear that person’s music whether it’s Springsteen or anybody else, you always think of the person you were with at that show. And I have that. I just thought it was an interesting story about two people falling in love at a concert, and for the rest of their life that’s the soundtrack. That artist is the soundtrack to their love, to that time. I just love that. It makes me feel 17 again every time I hear it, and I think that other people feel the same way. It’s just a track that I’m very, very proud of. It might be my favorite on the record.”
