Whos here listening 2024💖

Streets of Philadelphia is amazing, but when this song plays at the end of the movie you can't help but cry. Its about much more than AIDS. You think about family, friends, who's there for you when things aren't easy, about how no one wants to be alone...I could go on.

You were robbed of the Oscar that year, Neil. The words, your voice, those notes coming off the piano…pure magic!

Neil was my husbands favorite performer. I had this song played at his funeral. I cry every time I hear it..

This song will forever remind me of my Uncle that I lost in 1991 to the Aids epidemic. He was a Philly native and one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever known. I hope you are peace, Uncle…we sure do miss you.❤️

This is so simple a piano piece and melody but, it hits your heart like a ton of bricks. One of the most moving, haunting songs I've ever heard.

At 75. I still cannot NOT cry when I listen to this. I was born in the Suburbs of Philly, and never took it as seriously until I heard this done by him at the Oscars. Beautiful doesn't say enough.

this should have won the oscar!

The lyrics to this are so beautiful, and Neil young is an amazing artist.BRAVO🎉🎉

30 years ago when Philadelphia was released with the amazing movie 1993..this song was up for an OSCAR..my daughter who is now 40 was 10 and grew up listening to Neil Young...his music use to wake our kids up in the morning...anyway her teacher asked the class to vote on the oscars that year and write and essay...she wrote a beautiful essay about this song, 'Philadelphia" and why she thinks it should win the OSCAR and it blew me away....thank you Neil for years of inspiration and song.

This is the ONE song that reminds me of how fragile families and relationships can be. I'm a GROWN-ASSED MAN and still can't watch the ending of the film "Philadelphia" and not break down and cry...

This song murders your heart and then resurrects it.

This should have won the oscar over Bruce I have to say.

How can Neil Young be such a genius song writer and performer? Beautiful and the piano composition so moving. Breaks my heart for my loved ones. His spirit is magical.

“ and When I see the light, I know it’ll be all right” that’s deep Neil.

I can understand how this haunting master piece didnt receive the Oscar . Simply an Oscar would not have done it justice ! Neil Young is a long time favourite of this old guy ! He is an absolute genius with words and music !

One of the Sadest songs...think of anyone you've Loved that has past...you'll lose it.😔

This song literally kills homophobia by pointing out the humanity of all of us and the fragility of our lives. It's cosmic and sublime, a true masterpiece.

this is what music is all about.. the expression of the human spirit

This song never fails to touch my heart. Such a stunning hauntingly beautiful masterpiece.

Haunting song. Reminds me of people who I've loved and lost, alive and gone, who passed in and out of my life. We are the only constants in our own lives...until we too are gone.

Absolutely brilliant. Brings tears to everyone. Should have won the Oscar.

So beautiful. Thank you for this Neil. 🤍

'...Place I call home Don't turn your back on me I don't want to be alone' ...man, that's rough

A hauntingly beautiful masterpiece.

I watched this movie two days ago. Yesterday, I went to my uncle's house for a small gathering. After everyone else had left, my partner and I stayed talking to him and his husband. It was then he told me he had terminal cancer, and the grand piano that was sitting behind me, the one that he had taught me piano on, was going to me.

One of the most poignant sad songs I have ever heard. Absolutely gets you right in the heart and runs out of your eyes. Couldn’t possibly have been a dry eye at the end of the movie.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

SO much Better than the studio version for sure...He deserved the Oscar for this..

I very rarely get emotional at films but this had me in absolute bits!

One of the most heartfelt songs ever written. His compassion is palpable.

This cuts me to the bone.

With Neil Young it's never just about the lyrics, or the music, or the singing. It's all about the synergy. The synergy is the magic.

Better than the Bosses song, for sure. This song juxtaposed with the video of the Tom Hank's character as a kid playing on the beach could jerk tears from Isis members.

Started to cry on a crowded bus, not only from Neils angelic song, but from remembering a man I loved, long gone, still 24 years old.

This always brings me to tears, as it did the first time I heard it. My youngest brother passed in 2000 from AIDS. His last days were so lonely, and it drove him to do things we should never be proud to speak about. To this day. I cannot watch the movie, or hear those eerie notes of love for a fellow human being, alone until the end.

BEAUTIFUL SONG BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES EVERY TIME. THANK YOU NEIL FOR YOUR COMPASSION. 😘🙏♥️♥️.

I just came here to remember my passed away relatives and cry a lot. This song is pure gold for emotions.

One of best songs ever in film history, it's so sad to fit in the movie. After watching Philadelphia, its melody running a rounding my ears, lingering in my mind.

I never realised this was Neil Young .....it breaks my heart every time I hear it and see that closing sequence

I've got my friends in the world,/ I had my friends/ When we were boys and girls/ And the secrets came unfurled. -One of the deepest, saddest, most beautiful verses I've ever heard. Brings love back into the world.

don't turn your back on me. this song brought on the tears, and my older and most dearest brother had just died of AIDS. John went next, other reasons. Both the best-hearted people.

I was 8 when Philadelphia came out. To this day, it is one of my all-time favorites. I cannot hear this song without crying.

Saw him last night at the Dolby. Just incredible. His voice and delivery is still just as effortless. He played this song. I stopped breathing and just cried silent, sloppy tears. I feel blessed to have seen him live. Sincerely, the luckiest girl in the world

That's sush a lovely song by NEIL.Deserved the oscar too.

Brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it

Love this DVD. I remember counting down the days until it was released. Big fan of this song, and of course the movie, and this version just absolutely destroyed me.

Did not Neil could play the Piano this well, always thought this was him singing but not playing it. One thing about Neil is his Voice has not changed for decades,

I absolutely love the movie "Philadelphia" and this particular song tugs at the heart. Bravo Tom Hanks. You're one in a million actors I never tire of seeing on the big screen. The movie has ended and I'm still cryin.

Another masterpiece performed by Neil Young. Now I have another N.Y song to add to my playlist list. Thrasher will always be my favorite.

this song is part of saying goodbye to my little sister soon! I luv her so much!

The 45 people who disliked this obviously have no soul.

I think the song that won should have been...BOTH of them! They complement each other, they are like a set. I can't help but think of the other when one is played. It makes sense, too, like the concept of brotherly love...sharing the award

i cry everytime i hear this song. its unbeleivable

One of the most devastating and beautiful songs ever written.

I watched Philadelphia for the first time only last night! Stunning. I cried buckets at the end. Can't believe I've never heard this song...... I immediately bought the movie soundtrack & have been listening to this track all day. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Touching, sad, serene...words can't describe...

Philadelphia is my all-time favourite film and this is by far the best track - so very moving

Just sayin', this is the one that should have won the Oscar. Less majestic than Springsteen's song, but much more intimate. And the lyric "I won't be ashamed of love" says it all; respect, empathy, and introspection from someone who is himself "straight." No disrespect to The Boss, because his song is amazing as well. Tough call, but this is the one that does it for me.

The one constant of true talent always seems to be it's seemingly invisible ability to draw you into the beauty .

This is a song worth remembering every single day!

Funeral song for my father Michael. Beautiful

This should have won the Oscar , the best track by far. One one of the most beautiful,songs I heard in my 49 years on this planet.

Listening to this song makes me sad, but it also clear my head😕 he plays this piano beautifully!!!

I am crying at every times I listen to this song

Such a powerful song! The message gets you every time 😢

Huge Neil Young fan and this is one of my favourite tracks of his, sends chills up my spine.

Hauntingly beautiful song, sounds just the same live. Thank you Neil Young.

Still appreciating the depth of this beautiful song. Been fan of Neil since 1972. I will die with him in my mind and heart.

i felt no one could make a sadder song than this ..

This is such a beautiful song. have been a fan of Neil Young since the 60s. He is a gifted songwriter and performer. I enjoyed his piano playing on this video. I love all his songs.

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 ❤💖😍🤗

Brutal but so beautiful

it amazes me that he can get through this song.

I am always so moved whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of the pain and heartache that I associate with the death of my brother from Aids in 1987 ... If I may borrow Neil's melodic and hauntingly emotional creation, I dedicate it to the memory of my brother for all of the feelings that swell up within me. Whenever I watch the last scenes in the movie, I cannot hold back my tears as director Johnathan Demme' brings those last painful but precious memories back to me.

One of the the most beautiful songs. Means so much to everyone.

This one of the most beatiful truthful honest master piece of songs i love the geniuses of music neil

It doesn’t matter this didn’t win Oscar 😊Like all of Niels songs they touch somebody’s heart..truth always does✌🏻❤️

How do you even write something like that .. it’s just amazing God bless us all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🍷

💔 Cette chanson... Est le condensé , épuré...qui représente toute la sensibilité de Neil Young !... Je l'écoute , réécoute...des dizaines de fois.... C'est.... Déchirant, doux, simple, émouvant, sans mélo... Comme 1 copain qui jouerait simplement, de tout son cœur ( comme dans 37°2 (Betty BLUE)...Grand moment !....❤️

The Oscar should have been shared...as much as I love Springsteen, this is genius and both songs for the film were just amAzing!

Oh my.. Immediately crying... I've been in love with The Streets of Philadelphia for 25 years... But hearing this, it all came back, I had indeed forgotten this movie is where this haunting gem came from.. Really, how could one pick one over the other for the Oscar.. Impossible choice. "Someone is talking to me.. I won't be ashamed of love.." How does he do it.. cut to the core so delicately, you hardly know it's happened until you're spent. Thank you Neil. Thank you

Every time an artist perform something like this he is giving a part of himself that is gone forever, every time and it is our duty to pass this energy on and keep it alive.

I just watched this movie and boy my heart broke again and my eyes are so swollen. I've seen tis about 6 times and it always tears me up.

Just cannot say how much I love this song. Best song on the soundtrack.

Been a lifelong British fan of Neil but first time I heard this. I’m 75 but this brought a lump to my throat,beautiful.

I just feel so calm, then comes down my gentleman tears.

I first heard this song at the end of a very touching movie... This song is now my favorite. Only Neil Young could give me goosebumps like this going on 20 minutes now.... Thank you so much Neil Young for all of the beautiful music you've given us. The movie Philadelphia just wouldn't have gone out as elegant without your song.

I want and have told my daughters, that this song with Neil Young, is to be played all day, when I come to the end. Such heartfelt beauty. ❤️

Sublime, unica, irripetibile, grande Neil.

Great Movie & Great Song!! They definitely tug at your heart strings, bravo! ❤️

Beautiful beyond words.........

The movie was a thing to behold. This song at the end is transcendent and redemptive. It makes the emotional payoff, when Beckett dies, a universally sad moment, yet one still filled with hope. When at the end Beckett says to his love, "I'm ready to go.", it is a triumphant and beautiful moment. He has fought, and won, all of his battles with tremendous courage. And now that he has accomplished his last, and arguably his greatest act--because it will ultimately help many others to stand up and to fight for themselves and their loved ones--when he is too tired to go on, he can choose when to stop fighting, and so when to die, with the love of his life with him so that he may go in peace. This song, positioned as it is at the end of both the movie and Beckett's life, is a magnificent coda that signifies the courage and grace that it takes to fight the good fight...even when one is faced with others who are filled with hate and bigotry toward your worthy cause. Neil Young did no less than to bring this song, and all that it signifies, into our hearts and minds, which is the best, most honest way to raise our consciousness about such an important, and worthy, subject. Tears flow freely because they are well deserved. Bravo, Mr. Young. What a class act, as always. Young's music, and his inner beauty and generosity of spirit, transcends him. If he had accomplished this only, in his long and storied career, he would still have been remembered and celebrated for this masterpiece about, and for, the human condition. It truly is a marvel to behold.

I think that both songs deserved to share the award. That may not be possible but that is how I see the merits of both songs.

This song is beautiful I just can’t remember hearing such a great song That actually touches your heart

Quel superbe création.. musique paroles interprétation... je suis fan de neil young depuis mes 16 ans... je le serais toujours

Magnifique mélodie et voix de Neil Young 💖👍👍 un bijou ce titre du film 🎬💖 Philadelphia

I have been searching for this song and I’m so glad I finally found it Apple and Pandora

If you remember the movie Philadelphia with Tom Hanks and Danzel Washington this will give you chills.

I tear up everytime I hear this....

One of my fav Neil songs. Just lovely. Also....won me a pub quiz here in the UK. Tie break question...... 'Philadelphia in America is known as The City of?' I knew those years of listening to him would come in handy one day!
