  • I have always loved this song. It is just a shame he didn't record it with the E St. Band. He recorded it with the same band with which he wrote Lucky Town and Human Touch. The message in this song (written back in 1994) still resonates its message today. Strong as ever.

  • Bei dem Song habe ich immer noch ne Gänsehaut....super Mucke + ein ganz emotionaler Text... Thanks, Mr. Springsteen!!!

  • grandiiii bruce...banderas,,,tom...

  • as usual...bloody amazing!

  • el tema me toca y me llena por dentro ....gracias bruce

  • Classic!!!

    

  • 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!

  • @wcbombers21 iam not so lucky,,.,.,.i found rock and method acting just months ago

  • What a great song

  • 13 people stay at home and don't walk along the streets

  • @jerem33brdx And one of them wants to catch the attention of the others by posting that stupid and annoying comment.

  • @SteinbrecherBack if you don't like it, walk on and shut up

  • @jerem33brdx If you don't like my comment, walk on and shut up. Should have realised that could easily fall back onto you.

  • That's what you call powerful...

  • Respect....to THE BOSS...

  • 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.

  • This song combined with the film is pure magic. Gives me goosebumps every time.

  • Musique superbe,chanson magnifiquement interprétée par Bruce Springsteen ,j'adore !!!

  • Every song he sings or writes is simply magic! Somehow he can has a gift!!

  • that is correct, only "The Boss" can create this magical performance and lyrical content that soars the spirit! you are the best Bruce!

  • my favourite song of all time, and this remains the greatest performance of it

  • Arguably his most powerful songs.. beautifully simple music and heart wrenching lyrics

  • Hai scritto la canzone che mi ha fatto emozionare più di qualunque cosa... Grazie boss

  • Good movie great song

  • this is great, but neil shoulda won.

  • Love it.love,love it.Such a classic,one of Bruce's finest recordings.Have it on my Ipod and listen to it all the time and not get sick and tired of it.

  • he looks like Edward Norton...

  • Imo this song is better then Niel Youngs.....

  • he doesnt have to make a spectacle he can just stand there and its magical

  • I hardly think Bruce was involved in Neil not receiving the Oscar, tho I agree he, Neil, should have gotten it. I'm disgusted by people putting down Bruce as if he had some say in who won 17 years ago... I was 14... How old were any of you??

  • Thank God he supports President Obama!

  • The background vocal from 3:33 onward are absolutely beautiful. Too bad they are not included on the cd version.

  • THE BOSS, the best!

  • The moving music performance at the Academy Awards, in my opinion.

  • This song is a tribute to the soldiers on the front line of gay rights. God's chosen angles.

    17 years later bruce's hope that his best work would spill into peoples everyday lives has come true...gay marrige is being legalized around the nation....gay bars are opening in traditionally st8 resorts. Gods at work... GOD is LOVE

  • 13 people are dead inside !!

  • Ruttyygyhhhugyx

  • Good song. But Neil Young shoulda got the oscar .

  • Whilst I was looking at Bruce Springstein, it was more a witty joke when I suggested most str8 guys would turn gay for. I would not like to place a comment as shallow as 'turning gay" on such a masterpiece. Nonetheless if I had the chance I would turn str8 for Bruce. L. O. L

  • Mesmerizing...

  • He deserved the Oscar, the song is beautiful. His voice is wonderful.

     I always chill myself when I hear this music.

  • together forever we are all together in this world hate is not an option id give my life for anyone straight,gay, users i love you are

  • great song, great singer, backings a bit loud.

  • ain't no angel gonna greet me...

  • This song is so beautiful. I wrote a hip hop version of this song. If you have time check it out. I don't think you'll be disappointed. If not have a great day :)

  • Man isn't he just about the only guy a str8 bloke would turn gay for???? Paul- Dublin - Ireland

  • @dylann40

    what are you nuts?...I would imagine all ass-holes look the same from the inside....

  • Man is he the guy that every str8 bloke would turn gay for or what??? Paul Dublin Ireland

  • God help me but I went to a Bruce Sprinsteen concert before he was famous at Cabrini College. What a mess that was? But it was still worth the mess cause Bruce was awsome. My Mom went away one weekend and we had a party at the apartment and played Bruce E Street Shuffel mostly stands out. And that Suzi my sister kept spilling beer all over my Moms leather covered coffee table that was bought for next to nothing at an auction.Being the oldest had to figure out how to clean it so Mom wouldn't know

  • the intro and the end is so damn amazing!

  • Neil Young had the best song on the soundtrack, with that said...this song screams PHILADELPHIA

  • I think neil young deserved that award than bruce.

  • Its a joke that U2 haven't won an Oscar yet!

  • @MissChanandelerBong Nah its just to realise that Springsteen is a couple of levels higher than U2.

  • incredibly beautiful song. and that drummer is IN THE POCKET.

  • i love u bruce :)

  • THE BOSS............Great song with a lot of Emotions.......Philadelphia was one of the Best Movies with Tom Hanks

  • Crimen Sollicitationis

  • Óscar a la mejor canción original en 1993 por "Streets of Philadelphia", de la película Philadelphia.

    and the oscar goes to.....BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

  • I've always respected Bruce Springsteen even though on a cursory level I don't personally know the man but you never hear, in a long successful career, of him engaged in rampant alcohol, drug abuse and/or airing some other garish elements of his life in the public medium ala Brittney Beaver Spears, Lindsey Snooki Lopez Jersey or whatever the f*ck their names are.

  • The translator is fucking annoying!!!!

  • @KleWdSide But keep in mind we should be hearing the translator OVER Springsteen. The uploader must have done some editing magic, because this is the original Italian broadcast.

  • only the boss can make a song like these

  • davvero molto bella! so awesome!

  • Isn't it interesting how he wrote great songs for 2 of the saddest movies ever...Philadelphia and the Wrestler?

  • stupendaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

  • isnt that antoine barbaeras, from spy kid

  • @titans823 bahahahah its antonio banderas

  • Crimen Sollicitationis

  • Though this song has been sung countless times by numerous other people than the boss himself, they remain as mere copycats regardless of how "beautiful" they sing it. The lyrics and melody of this song is truly understood of Bruce only, the rest of us can only enjoy the fruits without being able to reproduce it.

  • best oscar performance

  • drummer is awesome

  • One of the best, maybe even the best Original Song for a film ever written!

    Love it so much, pity he didn't play it when he was here in NZ!

  • @andrewglover6 I'd rank it right behind, "Over the Rainbow," which won, "Best Song" in 1939, written for a movie that was barely noticed at the time, but that has since become somewhat better known.

  • love this song so much........

  • ITS SO GREAT

  • hammer

  • che vita di merda.

  • That was a very gracious speech and a great song too

  • A trmendous song from one of the greatest movies of all time. The Bible says, "Let us love one another."

  • woow really like he didnt want to say it the expression she make is like wtf he didnt deserve it jelous bitch

  • whitney houston loves bruce

  • Yes, Whitney is a racist and jealous bitch. I seen this. I think she was upset because Janet Jackson (her black friend) didn't win. She's too slow minded to know to 'look happy' for the winner at least.

  • I love this so much!

    But Whitney was such a bitch wow.

  • Érzelem dús úgy mind az Előadó Bruce Springsteen hangja !

  • is that drummer Rodney Holmes?

  • I can feel myself fading away. Damn, those lyrics are something else. Every time I listen to it, this song feels like it cuts straight through me. I could listen to it all day on repeat, and not get tired of hearing it. It gets more beautiful every single time.

  • @itsonlynatural Couldnt agree more, nice quote man

  • @itsonlynatural I hear you !

  • @itsonlynatural

    I feel exactly like that also.. Springsteen is amazing! I also love the movie.. exceptional

  • incredible tons of goose bumps !!!

  • I really want Boss to sing this song at live again........... although this is not the rock music that he usually sing, but for some reasons, this probably is the top best 5 songs in his career.

  • what

    an amazing song....

  • "Ain't no angel gonna greet me, it's just you and I my friend"

  • @sRm744

    what a sad and significant line that is.. :-(

  • @sRm744 That line is the cruncher. It defeats me everytime. I'd walk 1000 miles to slip this skin. I'd give anything.

  • Magnifique...

  • very good muy buena cancion me encanto la musica ese tono medio electronico, muy bueno...

  • emeester Bruce Espreengsteen

  • Reallly Beutifulll Bruce is King of Rock!!!

  • If this was the only song Springsteen ever wrote - one would applaud until the end of time. Should be one of the top ten songs in the world.

  • whitney houston obviously wanted janet jackson to win. she looks pissed off

  • You can't say "working class" without "class". Nice speech Bruce

  • Super song of 1993-1994 !!! Bravo!!! All the best!!! Hi from Russia!!!Super hit !!!

  • Love this singer, love this song and adore this movie, that said a lot of thing about ourselves, made us how to wil be better than we were yesterday.

  • I love that he turned up to a black-tie award ceremony in an open-neck casual shirt. Only the Boss.

  • I have to say I had goosebumps running down my arms while listening to this... I was a kid when this song came out and it still is one of the most haunting and beautiful songs ever made.

  • I like neil's than this.

  • this is best song ever

  • Sin Palabras...

  • alguien pudiese traducir este exelente tema al castellano? se lo voy a agradecer.

  • INMORTAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @silvestrino2007

    Immortal*

  • WOW! Only Bruce and sing this song...I've heard loads of crappy versions just to make myself realize that only Mr. Bruce Springsteen can make us tear apart when he sings this masterpiece!!

  • this is bruce at his finest. thanks for a great song.

  • to Antonio Banderas ale młody jełopek hehe

  • thank you,bruce!

  • i was one of those guys that Denzel W. portrayed at the beginning . But when I saw this movie and heard this song . I happened to meet someone gay and we became friends.Then I asked him what it was like to be gay. he replied with one of the most profound statements I have ever heard . He said "Hey it's me trap in here", as he pointed to his body. I will never again judge what I dont know. The song shows you that the boss has no problem in who he is.

  • @aawschucks What's that supposed to mean? I understand the story but what does "It's me trap in here" mean?

  • @aawschucks Thanks for admitting your former ignorance & for acknowledging that us gays are human too. We tend to judge things that we don't understand, as you said, & just as I will never understand what it is like to find women sexually attractive, a straight person will never understand what it is like to be attracted to the same sex. I sometimes get annoyed when straights assume it's a "choice", as if any gay man would choose to be hated, murdered, beat up for kicks. TY for your comment.

  • I felt something special, some virus from the 90:ths walking down in the street in Gothenburg. In my headphones i've listened to this song it left me up, and since that time this is one of my favourite songs - so completely. The movie is even something i'll wont forget. I'd never heard such a great song before...gave me strenght

  • great song

  • I can't think of another soundtrack more befitting any other movie than Philadelphia. Years later I still can't listen to it without getting all choked up.

  • cette musique prend aux tripes !!
