and when he says "brother" in the song is he addressing himself? or is it his gay lover? Or is this a dichotomy in the lyrics that Springsteen leaves open for interpretation? na na na na naaaa, na na na naaaaaa?
Massive Attack Unfinished Sympathy also? U2 Stay? This is an underated period in moody synth production that creates this nostalgic slightly eerie,slighty morose landscape, Mike and the Mechanics - Living years is a more kitsch exampe
There's a similar mood to this as U2 Stay. Is it the same synth production, any audio producers out there? Or is it cos they were both out around the same time or something and one robbed the other? Or is this the very nature of music? na na na naa na na na naaaa
i sob on this tragic splendid song matching perfectly with the movie! to hell with all those who're against humanbeing's choice of way of life, FREEDOM that is.
In this old world we are miles apart, still. but somehow, we will get it together. I know we will. when I read all of the comments on Youtube, most people are...just like me. Happy to tune in, and touched by this sad sad song.
Thanks for posting this, but thanks to Bruce, for letting spirit move him, again. To remind us, of our sameness.

What's the bullshit editing of the lyrics at the end?
The real lyrics are:
Night is falling and I'm lying awake
I can feel myself wasting away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this

i'm no gay at all but i know bitches and sons of bitches for whom this is still a "crime"; that they go to hell cause humanbeings are born FREE
fantastic movie; only such fantastic song could match with it; to hell with all monsters that are against freedom under any pretext whatsoever.
