"For You" is one of the songs Bruce Springsteen cut for Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., his 1973 debut, and it came out of the June 27, 1972 session at 914 Sound Studios in Blauvelt, New York, that yielded the whole album bar "Blinded by the Light" and "Spirit in the Night". Mike Appel and Jim Cretecos produced, and future E Street men David Sancious, Garry Tallent and Vini Lopez were in on those dates.
It's a song about a woman who has tried to kill herself, and where much of the debut hurries, this one paces itself, the percussion driving it up and up toward a climax. Columbia tucked it onto the B-side of "Spirit in the Night", and it later landed on The Essential Bruce Springsteen.
