Pain that I didn't felt on my luck, and I can only tell you to be strong, independent and brave mom.... Huge tragedy and I am so sorry for your and your son loss... Life is an adventure full of love and pain....thats all..... Take care!
+Padeiro Thank you for your kind words. Portuguese is a language I sometimes understand a little bit because I speak Spanish; I don't understand all of it, but, some of it. I get my news about Portugal from an Independent Media Network here in the U.S. called Free Speech TV. Portugal stopped criminalizing drugs, but, of course I don't know how you feel about it. Again, thank you for your words.
Wolf Williams Well said. One of the few that is powerful and absolutely perfect for the film - worthy to stand in the same category as, "Over the Rainbow," sung by Judy Garland in 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939), which only a handful do.
+SwitcherooU Absolutely agreed! And how about, "When You Wish Upon a Star," from Pinocchio (1940). In 1964 it almost had to be whatever was nominated from, "Mary Poppins," which happened to be, "Chim, Chim Cheree." Those songs are so great you could almost throw a dart. However, my (and Walt Disney's) favorite was, "Feed the Birds." I also love, "Let's Go Fly a Kite." It makes me tear-up because it creates one the happiest film finale's in the history of the genre.
Listening to it right now & feeling “those” SHIVERS…..I believe it’s the lyrics that vibrate along w/the organ humming such deep toned keys & the backup singers also humming along & then that high toned female backup singer intermittently placing those lil “wails” there resonating in the background, ever so perfectly -hells yeah- definitely sends shivers!!
All I can say Is that I am proud that I grew up in the time of the greatest actors and singers the world has ever seen and heard, and I am thankful I lived in the time of THE BOSS!
I just picked a comment at random to reply to because I'm hoping for a response as opposed to just commenting and hoping someone replies to my post. BUT, do you know who the girl was at the end of his performance, was that his wife?! Never did show who it was and was just curious.
Still brings a tear to my eye after all these years. Too many friends gone, it socks me in the gut every time. Bruce Springsteen is an American Treasure
One common feature of masterpieces like this one is the magic they create with the first notes, and for the next 3 minutes you are theirs. Even if you've heard it tens of times before.
One of the greatest songs ever recorded. I cam listen to this 100 times in a row. Great music and lyrics. Very haunting but powerful....25 years later!
Been watching “Shallow” duet Oscars performance on repeat- because it was so well done. But to me this song is the best song for a motion picture, the best of all time. 25 years later, when you hear it you still weep. Denzel Washington and Tom Hank were just astonishing
One of the best "Best Song" Oscar winners ever. This is, in my opinion, THE Best Soundtrack song of ALLLLL Time...... Great song. One of the classiest acceptance speeches you're ever likely to hear.
The truest, most pure, lyrics of any song. Bruce must have known AIDS sufferers to come up with this. It was realised the year after my ex boyfriend died.
I cried so hard as it reminded me of my Orphanage up bringing in Hopewell, New Jersey, and how difficult it was to survive the brutal beatings and the poverty this movie and song lyrics portray! Thirteen years of tremendous hardship and pain. This song gave me emotional, the physical and mental strength to push through and make a life for myself.
Thank you for sharing about your life experience. If you haven't already, you should read Bruce's autobiography "Born to Run". Much of what Bruce shares echoes your experience, e.g., the poverty in Freehold New Jersey, staff endorsed beatings he experienced in Catholic school, etc. It's a very intimate read. Best wishes for a happy New Year!
@@windk100 Yes, but his mother and his mother's family loved him and believed in him. His mother took out a $60 loan to buy him a Kent guitar. That kind of faith helps you hang in there.
U. Inspire. Me. People. Who. No. Hardship. I. Was. In. Homes. Ten. Years.. Dark. Places. Then drugs..!!.. But. Then. I. Left. My. Past. B. Hihd. Cum. Off. Drugs.. Now..??.. I. Feel. Content.
I've had the virus since 1992. The day I started the HIV combination drugs back in 2000 I put on the headphones and put up the volume and lidtened to this song over and over and completely broke down. How this man could step inside the shoes of somone with the virus and make ya feel he was your brother in fear. Amazing,simply amazing.
A favourite of mine. Bruce Springsteen is an amazing artist and person. Also very down to earth in my view. He bought a concert to Christchurch, New Zealand after the devastating earthquake in 2011. Meant very much to Christchurch and all of NZ.
I guess 1994 was the year I started hunting Bruce Springsteen's records after listening him singing and winning the Oscars & Grammys for this song. I admire his vocals
It was my mother's favorite movie and song. As she requested it, we played it at her funeral. It took me several years to be able to listen to it again, but even before it made me cry every time. Love you Bruce, and love you Maman.
While others blubber like idiots, look how cool Bruce was receiving the award. Perfectly calm. Why? He'd already got enough awards and didn't need an Oscar to prove he was the best!
I remember those days when so many people were lost. It was so sad and very sad. I honestly hope that they found peace. The world was a lonely place and I still can’t imagine how many were lost and it seemed like nobody cared. I am just so glad that there was people who never gave up and who worked so hard to help others. That movie always makes me cry. I am just so sorry this world is not a better place for Everyone!
One of the only people that loves to make music with passion and as he says, merchandising... along the side (whatever), BUT doesn't care about the fame and the glory, just the music---JUST THE MUSIC and making people feel good. Thanks again Boss.
Toda vez que ouco essa musica, eu choro... Choro pela ignorancia das pessoas, da falta de amor no coracao pelo proximo, e pela intolerancia... Esse filme me tocou muito, muito. Maior interpretacao do Tom Hanks in toda sua carreira. Bruce escreveu essa musica com o maior amor e comprometimento com seu pensamento de dizer o que sente sobre o regime de opressao, medo e discriminacao que o mundo vive. Essa musica ainda e bem presente em significado e poesia... Simplesmente lindo.
Verdade as pessoas pensão que se pega esse vírus só de conversar e de abraçar nós falo nós porque vivo com esse vírus e sei bem o que é sentir na pele a reação das pessoas quando sabem que somos soro positivo em pleno século 21 é triste desculpo meu desabafo
@@euniceferreira2056 Tenho um amigo que vi crescer que é soro positivo... Quando ele chegou da Itália bem debilitado eu só queria dá um forte abraço nele.😢❤
This is a song that resonates to anyone who has faced loss. I lost my father in law and my grandmother in law within 10 days of each other. Though we faced unbelievable pain, the Boss' song reminds me that pain is a natural thing and we can either succumb to it or we can carry on what was left to us. I choose to honor Greg and Jane and I hope they know that they made me a better man. Thank you both!
One of my favorite artist Bruce Springsteen. This song is amazing filled with emotions. A song that touches my heart. 😥Superb vocals and performance. Love you the BOSS 🎶🎧🎼👀
This is the only time I have ever seen bruce on stage without his guitar or piano. He has made many popular good time easier to listen to anthems as well as other dramatic tunes but for many folks I know....they always say this one is their fave. Respect to springsteen. An exceptional piece of songwriting.
Gorgeous man. Heart-wrentching song. Fit with the movie perfectly. Well-deserved oscar !!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Bruce, better than ever @ 65 !!!!!!!!!!!!! 9/23/14
From what I recall he got a standing ovation for that performance, and it was richly earned. It's one of the most soulful songs to come out of the 1990s, and it beautifully encapsulates the city.
Hasta ahora sólo he viste a un sólo hombre de verdad amar la música y sentir profundamente cada presentación con el alma ....Bruce Springsteen ....eres único.... Seras mi amor platónico toda mi vida
i had the great pleasure to work security in the pits for his concert at twickenham it was top draw i had worked many concerts this was one of the best he truly is the boss
My husband died of AIDS December 31, 1994 left me with a twelve year old son. We were married thirteen years. I still cry for him.

one of the greatest songs ever written
Cam a 6th grader could’ve written this song lol. What could possibly make this one of the greatest songs ever written
M Goldey stfu asshole get a life
Not really...
along with the last song , elton john ...
Not really, Neil Young was snubbed
he doesnt have to make a spectacle he can just stand there and its magical
One of those years when the Oscar for original song was a given. No contest. One of the best movie songs ever.
Wolf Williams Well said. One of the few that is powerful and absolutely perfect for the film - worthy to stand in the same category as, "Over the Rainbow," sung by Judy Garland in 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939), which only a handful do.
John Hocking You could not be more right about that. Garland, a national treasure, a terrific performance.
+John Hocking I'd put "Moon River" from "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in the same class of absolute no-brainers.
+SwitcherooU Absolutely agreed! And how about, "When You Wish Upon a Star," from Pinocchio (1940).
In 1964 it almost had to be whatever was nominated from, "Mary Poppins," which happened to be, "Chim, Chim Cheree." Those songs are so great you could almost throw a dart. However, my (and Walt Disney's) favorite was, "Feed the Birds."
I also love, "Let's Go Fly a Kite." It makes me tear-up because it creates one the happiest film finale's in the history of the genre.
''Given''? ''No contest''? I mean, this song is beautiful, but your lack of respect for Neil is disturbing...
One of only a handful of songs that sends shivers down your spine. One of the bests songs ever made.
@lomaw, your comment still lives. Thank you.
Listening to it right now & feeling “those” SHIVERS…..I believe it’s the lyrics that vibrate along w/the organ humming such deep toned keys & the backup singers also humming along & then that high toned female backup singer intermittently placing those lil “wails” there resonating in the background, ever so perfectly -hells yeah- definitely sends shivers!!

Bruce at his best

Very tru
Me 2❤
Me too, thank you for the same feeling.....
Bruce deserved to win .What an amazing piece of song writing and a superb performance singing it .
that drum intro always gets me!
One of the best "Best Song" Oscar winners ever.
Delete the "Best song Oscar winners" part.
Bruce Numero UNO 😎
Dunlopedia yes.
No sir, Neil Young's Philadelphia was the clear winner
The. BEST!
Masterpiece song. Masterpiece performance. Still coming back to watch this after 26 years. Still as moving as ever.

Tremendous and powerful
I watched that night, and felt I was grieving with everyone within the sound of his voice. It's a truly moving piece that will be played forever.
Bruce is the man. Great song.
😎🎼🎸🥁🎻🎺📯🎸🎧🎼
Best live performance of "Streets of Philadelphia" ever!!
This is, in my opinion, THE Best Soundtrack song of ALLLLL Time......
Love that man , love his music, love this song.
This is, in my opinion, THE Most repeated comment of ALLLLL Time......
THE BOSS............Great song with a lot of Emotions.......Philadelphia was one of the Best Movies with Tom Hanks
Profoundly bleak, brilliant and haunting song. It gives me chills, too.
As soon as the synthesizer sets in, I always get a chill up my whole spine! This is magic!
I love that he turned up to a black-tie award ceremony in an open-neck casual shirt. Only the Boss.
That was super formal for Springsteen
When a contemporary artist makes a difference. Take a bow Bruce..
One common feature of masterpieces like this one is the magic they create with the first notes, and for the next 3 minutes you are theirs. Even if you've heard it tens of times before.
I agree wholeheartedly!!!! I could listen to this song and cry every time!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the movie and Tom Hanks is outstanding!!!!!!Diane
Sounds even better live! Great perfomance
I'm so in love with this song... Everytime i'm overwhelmed by feelings of loneliness and melancholy. Have a good day everyone ! xx
Florian Pichon you are a really handsome boy! Kisses from Spain
Best wishes!! 💙🙏
One of the greatest songs ever recorded. I cam listen to this 100 times in a row. Great music and lyrics. Very haunting but powerful....25 years later!
Emotional song, tears to my eyes, great movie, thank you Tom Hanks, hate the illness and wish all people well.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wishing. U
Well. Brother..
beautiful
One of the most talented and HANDSOME men that ever walked the earth.. Brilliant..!
Indeed, very handsome, even up to now..
probably one of his best vocal performances and one of his moving compositions...
Been watching “Shallow” duet Oscars performance on repeat- because it was so well done. But to me this song is the best song for a motion picture, the best of all time. 25 years later, when you hear it you still weep. Denzel Washington and Tom Hank were just astonishing
Tom HANKS.
When this song came out it gave me shivers and tears. It still does.
This is, in my opinion, THE Best Soundtrack song of ALLLLL Time......
Agree
I agree too
I listen everyday. I am Asian Indian
The best

Perfect song for a wonderful film...

Being from Philadelphia this song grips my heart forever!! We are a bruised and battered people!!!
25 years later and tho I've never been to Philly, this song still fills me w. wonder.
Best movie theme I've ever heard!
Wow! Thirty years on, and this song is as relevant as the day it was made.
"Neil I gotta share this with you..." What a class act!
A favourite of mine. Bruce Springsteen is an amazing artist and person. Also very down to earth in my view.
He bought a concert to Christchurch, New Zealand after the devastating earthquake in 2011. Meant very much to Christchurch and all of NZ.
One of Bruce's greatest gifts as an artist is his sense of empathy. That's what propelled such amazing works like Nebraska and this song.
This song is like a kick in the balls, makes me cry.
Ketston Exactly! Just what it's supposed to do.
+Ketston Me too.
Wrong, this song is ( not like a kick in the balls ) a kick in my heart and soul. Makes me cry.
Never seen the movie..but, i will be watchin it tonight on prime video

Greatest verse ever written
While others blubber like idiots, look how cool Bruce was receiving the award. Perfectly calm. Why? He'd already got enough awards and didn't need an Oscar to prove he was the best!
Bruce picked up the mantle from Dylan and ran with it---doubt you could ever find a bigger heart in all rock and roll than THE BOSS, I love this man
Bruce shines everywhere he appears
Those hauntingly beautiful lyrics.!
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
💎💎💎😎
that is correct, only "The Boss" can create this magical performance and lyrical content that soars the spirit! you are the best Bruce!
Wow !!!!!! Awesome Singer, one of my all time favorite Artists.
Love his music.
