Thanks so much for putting this up. It takes me back to my teenage years. I think this is Neil's most poignant beautiful and poignant song to date.

Pre-gentrified brooklyn was magic! It was an affordable mecca for the millions! When you combine too many people of so many cultures together, wonderful creations happen! Countless stories of humanity occurred here! As far as Brooklyn is concerned, gentrification is just a small chapter of the ongoing existence of Brooklyn!! We die off! Brooklyn lives on! GO! Brooklyn!!

"The smell of cooking in the hallways", just one of the downsides of living in a flat. I love this song, thanks for posting it. x

The lyrics and the music are so atmospheric. I've never been to Brooklyn, but when I listen to this, it's as if I'm there experiencing it. Brilliant.

Whether you live in Brooklyn or some out of the way hick town, this song grasps at the heartstrings of one's youth and makes them stop and ponder over their years of youthful innocence and vigor in such a melancholy manner.
One of his best.

I am from Brooklyn..South Brooklyn Red Hook Park Slope area but now am in Florida. Dad has been gone for over 10 yrs..Mom is in the last stages of vascular dementia at 94. I remember the butcher up the street box ball stick ball and climbing stair to get home. It feel as good now as it did then...I realized all we really have on this planet is memories. You take nothing else with you..but those Brooklyn roads live on with in us all
