It's the time in between

Info

THE TIME IN BETWEEN is a song written by Bruce Springsteen. It remains officially unreleased and apparently it was not recorded in studio. It's not known if it was even developed into a full song.

The above lyrics are for a very short demo take of THE TIME IN BETWEEN; it's just a fifteen-second snippet with Springsteen repeating the title twice. It was recorded solo on acoustic guitar at Springsteen's home in Holmdel, NJ, sometime between September and December 1979.

Springsteen recorded many demos at his home around the time The River was being cut in studio. These home demos were not professionally recorded; it seems that Springsteen used a regular cassette recorder. They were just song fragments, and there is much stopping and starting heard as Springsteen records bits and pieces, manually stops the recorder, and then returns sometime later to add more ideas.
