Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Philadelphia (Lyrics)

[pearlita]

Growing up in Botswana🇧🇼my uncle 🕊️ used to play the song and I was intrigued to know where these streets were, what they looked like. Fast forward, later I went study at the university of Pennsylvanian 🇺🇸and my feet kissed those streets with so much kindness . The power of music can’t be underestimated

The impact of this landmark piece was felt the world over, when countless thousands thought this was a virtual death sentence. Thank God for helping our Doctors develop medicine that could combat this horrible condition. All credit to Bruce Springsteen, who stepped up to the plate to write and perform this unforgettable song.

An unbelievable song from an unbelievable singer.Possibly the best song from a film ever.

Such a Powerful Song. It touches my heart every time I hear it because I've seen what the street life can do to a person, and to a family. I lost my mother to it.

[debbielewis]

I can relate to this song very well because i know how hard life can be especially when you are homeless and suffering from the disease of addiction . and the lyrics touch my soul, ive been struggling with addiction for over 20 years 😢😢

[bernardgouze]

Magnifique chanson, très émouvante, portée par une mélodie et une voix exceptionnelle.

[TigerupperEames]

Thanks for making me feel better for another day. I felt the love here

My older Brother died from aids in 1993.
We were very close. The last words he ever spoke to me were Howard I love you.

[jenniferbrown]

I think this might be one of the greatest songs, ever. ❤

[williamowsley]

The way this song just fades out.... Damn that's some great writing!

[pamlopez]

To write a song like this... Being, feeling, living with. Aids, alone. One of Springsteen's tightest best songs ever. Not sure how he does it these days but way back in the day his songs reflected his life and his reality of what he saw and lived among.

[goldengrahame]

Listening now in absolute tears, it's my brother's bday today or would be, addiction took him from us, this was his funeral song. Such a powerful song 💓

[Louise-stnu]

Bruce you lift with your voice many and all people see you.. Incredible talent you are of ❤️

[marksumma]

I'm sitting in my car sobbing, listening to this song. 31 years sober, two overdoes, 3 suicide attempts and homeless for two years
Lost a daughter and almost died of an illness
My life now is so beautiful
Married, have a 30 year old son, own my own life coaching business, finishing a book and working on a tv show
I'm blessed by the grace of god
All my friends who didn't make it
Each breath of my existence on this earth is for you.
Life is good
Cherish it
🙏❤️😊🔮🙏

Wow i remember growing up when this came out and a few yrs later realised how powerful the words are, i was engaged in 2022 life was good until i discovered a tumor and lost my love for life worked and provided for a fiance who didnt apreciate me, i then walked away and ended up in hospital, i didnt want to be alive, became homeless and sometimes things happen we cant explain well in 2024 i met my better half and its been a yr and i will always say she is the love of my life

[danijacob]

I cry every time I hear this song. I sympathize with everyone who are addicted to drugs… everyone suffering from a deadly disease… everyone broken mentally, spiritually and emotionally.
These type of problems make us all one.. no one is exempt from pain… loss… and death. These are things that makes us ALL the same. Any race… & gender.

[bernardwathen]

Despite a huge catalogue of great music, this song seems to have a greater depth of feeling than many of his other songs

[paok]

I would never look for any better picture, than you have chosen. It adjusted perfectly the spirit of the song and the movie. Wonderful, thank you.

I lost my nephew, 1/21/23, to fentanyl addiction. Though he was never homeless, he felt so alone. It feels like a lifetime ago since I hugged him. He was more like a brother to me. Your free now. ❤
