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.
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!!
One of the most important films ever. Homophobic people entered that theater and after seeing it they were no longer Homophobic but had become to realize gay folks are people, just like everyone else and deserve respect like everyone else.
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!
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
❤ Eu estou com 53 anos de idade ❤ E hoje eu olho para trás e vejo como eu fui feliz nos anos 80 90 até 2000 depois de 2000 parece que a humanidade regrediu tanto no amor 💘 como no caráter, E ouvindo essas música 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 Eu me pego pensando na minha época de ouro,❤Oh saudade de um tempo bom que se foi e não voltaais? Todas as noites 🌙 🌙 🌙 🌙 eu fico na sacada do meu apartamento olhando as estrelas 💫 🌟 💫 🌟 💫 🌟 e relembrando o passado 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
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
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
i miss my brothers so much when i hear this song ,so beautiful but sad . 2015 and we still havent won the battle against aids and lost some real good people
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.😢❤
Just watched Philadelphia for the first time since I was a young kid. Different appreciation now. Don't give a SHIT if the sound quality is awful... gd classic people.......
The movie, of course, was, but I think you could use it in just about any situation in which people are alienated/alone...what he says at the end..."Music helps us take the edge off the fear, see through our veils of differences"...the man is BRILLIANT.
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 🎶🎧🎼👀
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
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.
Gorgeous man. Heart-wrentching song. Fit with the movie perfectly. Well-deserved oscar !!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Bruce, better than ever @ 65 !!!!!!!!!!!!! 9/23/14
I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt I was unrecognizable to myself I saw my reflection in a window, I didn't know my own face Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting away On the Streets of Philadelphia I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone At night I could hear the blood in my veins Just as black and whispering as the rain On the Streets of Philadelphia Ain't no angel gonna greet me It's just you and I my friend And my clothes don't fit me no more I walked a thousand miles Just to slip this skin The night has fallen, I'm lying awake I can feel myself fading away So receive me brother with your faithless kiss Or will we leave each other alone like this On the Streets of Philadelphia
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
