This is the song that should have won the Academy Award.

I'm a 60 yr old father who does his best not to cry at the end of this film. The video the family watch of Tom Hanks as an innocent child coupled with Neil Young's voice gets me every time.

Oh my Lord every time I hear that song my heart breaks

the final scene from the movie "philadelphia" will make anyone weep,is utterly beautiful.

my brother passed away from this disease in 1992. I'm not sure how many people nowadays realize how much the victims of this disease suffered in the 80s & 90s before the life extending drugs we're available. we watched my brother waste away in just a matter of months. in the end at 37 yrs of age he suffered from pneumocistis a deadly form of pneumonia that is easily cured by antibiotics but when you have no immune system it's deadly. he also lost his eyesight in his final week he had blisters covering his arms legs and in his throat. he had many other things wrong as well. to watch someone you love suffer like this is heartbreaking. my brother was a very very talented man who had so much to offer this world. so so sad. I hope to see him again someday.

The closing credits of Philadelphia when this song plays utterly guts me. I am not a crier but this sends me into unashamed sobs.

Neil Young at his most heartbreaking and fragile. When he composes tracks of this nature, nobody can match him. A beautiful song from one of the greats.

last year when my father died of cancer the first hours and days i had this song in my mind and cried to much, now when i hear the song again i feel peace for him R.I.P dad

This is just too beautiful a song and it's not that Bruce's isn't a good song, it is, but this is the one I want to listen to over and over and over. So that is why this is the better song. And I agree. It was the song that had the heart of the movie. And from my experience. It is the city of brotherly love. I tripped on a sidewalk once and a woman saw it happen and sat on the ground next to me to make sure I was alright. Will never forget that. I hope she reads this. Thank you so much young lady.

What a movie. Cannot get through that final scene without tears.

I cannot count the number of times I have watched this movie, but I do know that I enjoy the power of it.❤️

Neil Youngs voice....the song, so Neil Young...I lost a piece of my heart to this one....and I'm a better person for it....xx

Philadelphia Sometimes I think that I know What love's all about And when I see the light I know I'll be all right I've got my friends in the world I had my friends When we were boys and girls And the secrets came unfurled City of brotherly love Place I call home Don't turn your back on me I don't want to be alone Love lasts forever Someone is talking to me Calling my name Tell me I'm not to blame I won't be ashamed of love Philadelphia City of brotherly love Brotherly love Sometimes I think that I know What love's all about And when I see the light I know I'll be all right Philadelphia

Neil Young song is the perfect ending for this true story of a men who lost his life to AIDS. I cry every time I listen to this song. This should have been the Oscars Best Song of the movie. I bet the theater was full of tears and extremely quite while exiting. RIP:. Andy.

I have always loved this song and it always punches me in the gut. My father recently committed suicide and I have been listening to it with his obituary up with his smiling face and it has been my process. Process to cry for him and honor him while he was here. He was a great Dad and he loved Neil Young. I love you pop.

Great song 4 great movie...chills run up & down my spine when i hear "Some1 is talking 2 me calling my name"

I am from Japan, not for sure how many times watched this movie but I’ve never ever be able to hold my tears at the last scene…

Sometimes there are movies that reflect, highlight and also alter the climate of a part of our human history; touch an age in our common humanity.. For me "Philadelphia" will always be one of those movies. And this song is a deep part of that. Also those micro-facial expressions of Tom Hanks.. Just how.. does he capture... He and Denzel Washington were astonishing.

A long time ago I spent two days in Philadelphia. I had different sorts of problems which made it for a bad time there but in spite of it all I could feel an energy there that I never felt anywhere else, something sad and beautiful at the same time. there is something poetic about it, I can't explain. I still hold it as a special place in my heart and I hope I can visit it again someday.

It was my brother favorite's song.....He died in 1994 and this song played at his funerals. I will always remember xx

Juste magnifique, bouleversant et cette musique inoubliable... Je pleure à chaque fois que je vois ce film, merci à ces grands acteurs...

One of the greatest songs ever written

i cannot understand why this song isn't as much popular as Springsteen's one !!!

Hauntly spirituallly beautiful, my eyes, my spirit,my heart and soul all cry

this song played at my grandpa's funeral and will never leave my heart. Makes me cry every time.

I came out in 1990, scared to death I would get AIDS. So many friends died and I have no idea to this day, 30 years later, why I didn't get it. This song and movie crushes me.

Au bout de 30 minutes de film, je me mets à pleurer et ça dure bien après la fin. l’histoire, les regards, la musique, tout est si boulversant..... magnifique!

R.I.P To my cousin Allan who passed away form complications of AIDS in 2011 h was only 34 , he was just tired of taking the drugs, miss you cousin , the family misses you everyday 🦋🌹

Beautiful song great Neil Young!

This song oozes nostalgia and a time when we where all closer. It makes me feel safe…like home…having the luxury of being a kid and growing up during that time with your family all around.

This song aways makes me cry

Philadelphia is the last great movie made by Hollywood, a work of art, about a real life tragedy. Neil Youngs song at the end was a perfect way to end this great movie . This movie had everything, great stars, a great director, great music, and a subject that needed the light of day to shine on it

One of the best songs ever written beyond me how this didnt win the oscar that year

I can't even explain how my heart saturates with love when I hear Neil Young i singing this song

Heartbreakingly beautiful.

A much sadder version of Bruce's song . It tears me up thinking of my loss of my Wife and Son . Both passed 14 months apart from cancer . Sad, all my tomorrow's are gone .

💔...Cette oeuvre me touche , en elle même, indépendamment du film...❤️...Le Film , bouleversant.. j'étais en banlieue Parisienne.. & malgré que je soit Hétéro... durant mon adolescence et jeune adulte...j'ai été.."Dragué" + par des mecs... Années 70...80... Cheveux longs , bouclés ( genre Roger Daltrey, Michel Berger...)... éducation "strict""... Beatles dès 12ans.. puis collège...j'étais pas souffre douleur, curieusement je suis devenu proche du Caid ( + Âgé, Anar,, Bastonneur, mais intelligent, )...& donc je crois ...que j'étais pas trop con, non plus....Ceci dit : J'ai eu droit à des harcellements, provocations de " virilité"...provocs à me battre, avec atteintes, provocs de natures sexuelles....par des... Sous fifres de la " bande": "LA COUR" de " LORENZO"...qui laissait faire...( Je ne voulais pas me battre, repoussant autant que je pouvais leur provocs...) J'avais 1 relation, particulière avec ce "Caid"... échanges intello.. sincères.. faut dire...j'avais développé des talents de dessins... caricaturistes des profs.... Ça a aidé...en Cours de Dessins " officiel" : thème " DESSINER 1 CHAT" => J'ai Fais 1 chat de gouttière gris....avec dans ses griffes , 1 souris, du sang....( j'écoutais Alice Cooper)..

This is the best version on youtube... Thank you!

GREAT MOVIE WE ALL CRIED 😢

A classic byyy far. Young is a genius. To everyone one that has left us t ooo early..i dedicated u this beautiful song..

I have watched the movie many times and enjoyed it. The music is beautiful and each time I hear it ....tears flow.

j'ai regardé le film hier soir et ai pleuré comme une madeleine avec ma petite jessie que d'émotions bravo Monsieur Tom Hanks, personne ne pouvait interpréter ce rôle à part lui inégalable JE L'ADORE...

I have seeing this movie 4x's just last night on Netflix. I knew so many that died from Aids. I live here in Philly all my life, the city has changed so much since this movie. The city is a historic , beautiful city. My best friend of 24 years, ex lover of 2years , I went to see this movie on Chestnut Street now a CVS. He passed on in 2017 after a battle , a battle from cancer at hospice. I think of him always when I watched the movie, listen to the soundtrack.

more brilliance from neil young

You did a beautiful job on this video. The movie is just heartbreaking and Neil's song is perfect.

Amazing song and amazing movie! Tom Hanks is one of the best actors ever!

this song is very good... VERY BEAUTIFUL SONG!

This is awesome! I already have it on my 3.100 mp3 files. I couldn't have skipped it! Thanks for posting it!

This scene w this song of the movie. Man. I cry so hard.

Lyrics: Philadelphia Sometimes I think that I know What love's all about And when I see the light I know I'll be all right. I've got my friends in the world, I had my friends When we were boys and girls And the secrets came unfurled. City of brotherly love Place I call home Don't turn your back on me I don't want to be alone Love lasts forever. Someone is talking to me, Calling my name Tell me I'm not to blame I won't be ashamed of love. Philadelphia, City of brotherly love. Brotherly love. Sometimes I think that I know What love's all about And when I see the light I know I'll be all right. Philadelphia.

The touching moment is the home movie. Listen to the words whilst watching the home movie scene, very touching 😢

2 of the best songs ever written for the same film.

Philadelphia is unique I spent 3 years there in medical training and met a wide variety of people I will never forget . Many of the people are genuine and u can meet all types. I treated many AIDS patients who touched me always. I’m from New York City and returned but we still returned to the Art Museum got a hoagie and I sort of loved the place !!!

Saw that movie in theatre with my parents. I was 14 yo and when the lights came up again, everyone was in tears around, including me. I will never forget that moment

Film stupendo, storia simile vissuta da vicino, questo pezzo finale mi ha devastato l'anima... 😔

This song will be played at this Philadelphia girl's funeral along with Bruce's song. To me, both songs hit home and my soul. I know my hometown has its issues, but it will always be a place I love and proud to be from. GO BIRDS 💚🦅🏈

This song was far more in sync with the film itself, resonating more deeply with the film's story than did the other Oscar nominated song from this movie; Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia" which although won, could've really been about anyone, be it a homeless individual or someone otherwise down on their luck while suffering on the streets of Philly. Neil got it right, and hit it out of the Park.

thank you neil. you are a truly beautiful being

I love this song, i love this movie, i love this actors, i love this singer.

🇧🇷 2023 - 22hs primeira vez que vejo esse filme 😊 essa canção é linda demais.

So many emotions in my Heart from this song......when someone in your life dies......it tears you apart inside.........grief is an awful thing......they say time heals all wounds.....not true .May all the people you've lost a long the way Rest in Peace......God bless Amen

"At some point in your childhood, you and your friends went outside to play together for the last time and nobody knew it." Whenever I hear this song that quote springs to mind...I imagine a bunch of teenagers - on the cusp of parting ways to go to college, the workplace, to see the world etc...playing together, outside, for the last time, while this song plays in the background. As the song ends the closing shot is the group of friends walking away together, arms around one another's shoulders while two or three of them are play-fighting while walking

"Philadelphia" Sometimes I think that I know What love's all about And when I see the light I know I'll be all right. I've got my friends in the world, I had my friends When we were boys and girls And the secrets came unfurled. City of brotherly love Place I call home Don't turn your back on me I don't want to be alone Love lasts forever. Someone is talking to me, Calling my name Tell me I'm not to blame I won't be ashamed of love. Philadelphia, City of brotherly love. Brotherly love. Sometimes I think that I know What love's all about And when I see the light I know I'll be all right. Philadelphia.

LOVE THIS AND THE VIDEO!!! SHARING & THANK YOU

Thank you for sharing this with us, Shawn. Consider that every act of kindness and fellowship you've experienced since has been your brother asking someone to step up for him.

This song was made in heaven for this movie

fantastico e sublime ,stringe il cuore ,ci rende tutti un po' migliori ad ascoltarlo........

Everytime I listen to this song it makes me think about my life my bad choices and all the hurt I have been through my young Day's

This is not a sad song, its poetry, set to music. It's far more a love song, than any other.

Molt emotiva cançó de neil young,impossible no plorar en la seqüència final de la pelicula philadelphia

Ciary mam na ciele od pierwszych taktów tego genialnego utworu ❤😭 Dziękuję bardzo za ten ogrom łez płynących mi po policzkach i ściśnięte ze wzruszenia gardło❤😭 Jesteś znakomitym ARTYSTĄ ❤💖😍🤗

Le maître mot de ce long métrage : la force de l'amour et l'espoir toujours l'espoir..., très belle bo qui submerge d'émotions, merci pour ce chef d'oeuvre !

I'm searching for my soul on hearing this song, it is before cold day's dawn.

This song makes me cry💖

Amo a música e o filme!❤️

this is hands down one of the best songs of all time. and maybe I am a bit bias since I am from here, but just listen to the music and voice.

I've never had a song haunt me the way this song does, the perfect ending to a beautiful story.

At the end of the movie, 50 Real people with AIDS was present for Andrew'funeral and saddly 43 of them died in the 5 years. That's a great tribute for them

Magnifique chanson qui conclue un film magnifique. Et dire que l'oscar de la meilleure chanson lui est passé sous le nez.

Thank you : perfect vid for this song. I have been amazed by Denzel Washington's performance in this movie!

Makes me cry

beautiful!

C'est de loin un des plus beaux films qu'il existe pour tout l'amour et la tolérance quil véhicule et cette chanson est juste incroyable. Ca me brise le cœur à chaque fois, autant que ça me donne l'envie de vivre intensément, en mesurant la chance que jai d'être en vie

Beautiful................

It must have been written before, but I think it's unbelieveable that this song didn't win the Oscar. Just my opinion. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful video ! Thank you !

As much as I love Springsteen’s song and having grown up in Freehold this resonates more. Beautiful song!

This is a prayer of brotherly love so much of pain loneliness a request for friendship love company love i will never forget the epic film on 1993 i cried my eyes out I've seen Philadelphia and listening to the soundtrack until today on 2022

What an enigmatic juxtaposition. An era of pain, suffering, and bigotry that in 2024 leaves one yearning for a decade of relative peace and innocence. May love alway prevail.

Sublime !!! Magnifique ! J'en ai la chair de poule !!!

Saw this film when I was 13 yrs old in 1994. I remember when this song starts in movie, like it was yesterday

Me parte el corazón y me llena de una melancolía qué no puedo explicar

truly sad. no more tears to fall in my eyes

Well Done 4Under.. Great song, and Neil, is well Neil :)

I watched friends deteriorate from this horrible disease before modern treatments. It breaks my heart for all the people suffering this affliction

Magnífico tema de la 🎥 película philadelphia dice tantas cosas bellas que dan ganas de llorar

should've won the Oscar

I cry every time I hear this song.

Play this for me when I go

One of the best movies I have ever seen ❤❤❤
