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

Incredible, evocative and haunting song! In my 56 years this remains one of my all time favourites, it never gets old.

Loved this song forever. Brooklyn Roads is really any place we grew up and remember with love.

DAMN if Neil doesn't create the mode of his song's subject, with perfect lyrics no less.

didn't grow up in a city but Neil wrote my soul again in the second verse. sadly my teachers wished i was more like my brothers.

sadly to few people know of this great song from the best single singer/songwriter of the 20th century. Thanks for a lifetime of great songs Neil, but especially for this treasure. I swear you wrote it for me except I didn't grow up in Brooklyn.
