More than a few New Yorkers and New Jerseyans now find themselves in a state of depression after the Sunday’s final game at Yankees stadium. Well, that is everyone except Mets fans. With his E Street Band obligations now over, at least for now, Nils Lofgren recently took some time to pay tribute to the legendary venue in the way of songwriting.

Hello everyone. Nils Lofgren here. I wanted to give you some history on this new song, “Yankee Stadium.”

My fabulous wife Amy (a Jersey girl), remains a life-long Yankee fan with a great, emotional history of experience in Yankee Stadium from childhood to present. Her concept and the song’s chorus; “everyone is beautiful in Yankee Stadium,” was born from those memories and experiences. She’s been asking me to write this song for a while and here it is.

I’m a long time fan myself, especially of the mythical and mystical nature of old Yankee Stadium, which I’ve been fortunate to experience first hand. This song is an homage born of respect and gratitude for all the emotional and spiritual beauty Yankee Stadium has offered to so many, for so long. We hope all you Yankee fans out there enjoy it!

Even though I’m not a Yankees fan (yes ladies and gentlemen, I have the honor of being a follower of the New York Metropolitans), it’s hard not to nod along to the catchy, albeit cheesy verses of “Yankee Stadium”.

Check out the tune below and if you like what you hear, head over to Nils’ website for a free copy.
