Rock icon Bruce Springsteen wrote a song for the Harry Potter film franchise but for reasons unclear, the song was never used. In an interview with BBC Radio 2, Springsteen explained the song was called “I’ll Stand By You” and had some personal significance.
“It was pretty good,” he said. “It was a song that I wrote for my eldest son. It was a big ballad that was very uncharacteristic of something I’d sing myself, but it was something that I thought would have fit lovely. At some point, I’d like to get it into a children’s movie of some sort because it was a pretty lovely song.”
Would a Springsteen song in a Harry Potter film have worked? Comment Below:
