[@xziggy1982X]

Pain that I didn't felt on my luck, and I can only tell you to be strong, independent and brave mom.... Huge tragedy and I am so sorry for your and your son loss... Life is an adventure full of love and pain....thats all..... Take care!

[@joybarry968]

+Padeiro Thank you for your kind words. Portuguese is a language I sometimes understand a little bit because I speak Spanish; I don't understand all of it, but, some of it. I get my news about Portugal from an Independent Media Network here in the U.S. called Free Speech TV. Portugal stopped criminalizing drugs, but, of course I don't know how you feel about it. Again, thank you for your words.

[@redrobin591]

+Joy Barry it shows you have a heart I hope life is good for you and your son ad long may your husband live on in your son god bless

[@jasonfelton928]

Bruce deserved to win .What an amazing piece of song writing and a superb performance singing it .

[@wolfwilliams]

One of those years when the Oscar for original song was a given. No contest. One of the best movie songs ever.

[@CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

Wolf Williams Well said. One of the few that is powerful and absolutely perfect for the film - worthy to stand in the same category as, "Over the Rainbow," sung by Judy Garland in 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939), which only a handful do.

[@wolfwilliams]

John Hocking You could not be more right about that. Garland, a national treasure, a terrific performance.

[@SwitcherooU]

+John Hocking I'd put "Moon River" from "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in the same class of absolute no-brainers.

[@CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

+SwitcherooU Absolutely agreed! And how about, "When You Wish Upon a Star," from Pinocchio (1940). In 1964 it almost had to be whatever was nominated from, "Mary Poppins," which happened to be, "Chim, Chim Cheree." Those songs are so great you could almost throw a dart. However, my (and Walt Disney's) favorite was, "Feed the Birds." I also love, "Let's Go Fly a Kite." It makes me tear-up because it creates one the happiest film finale's in the history of the genre.

[@Larry_Sportello]

''Given''? ''No contest''? I mean, this song is beautiful, but your lack of respect for Neil is disturbing...

[@lomaw]

One of only a handful of songs that sends shivers down your spine. One of the bests songs ever made.

[@vanhawkins4040]

@lomaw, your comment still lives. Thank you.

[@HeartWorX.Creations]

Listening to it right now & feeling “those” SHIVERS…..I believe it’s the lyrics that vibrate along w/the organ humming such deep toned keys & the backup singers also humming along & then that high toned female backup singer intermittently placing those lil “wails” there resonating in the background, ever so perfectly -hells yeah- definitely sends shivers!!

[@user-qc6en2mq9v]

Yes definitely the best song ever

[@nancydavis4618]

Bruce at his best

[@USCBeastmode]

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!

[@raiderdanCA]

I watched that night, and felt I was grieving with everyone within the sound of his voice. It's a truly moving piece that will be played forever.

[@josephrodda4534]

One of the greatest songs ever recorded. I cam listen to this 100 times in a row. Great music and lyrics. Very haunting but powerful....25 years later!

I just picked a comment at random to reply to because I'm hoping for a response as opposed to just commenting and hoping someone replies to my post. BUT, do you know who the girl was at the end of his performance, was that his wife?! Never did show who it was and was just curious.

[@meganw1355]

Still brings a tear to my eye after all these years. Too many friends gone, it socks me in the gut every time. Bruce Springsteen is an American Treasure

[@nancydavis4618]

Profoundly bleak, brilliant and haunting song. It gives me chills, too.

[@jeffreykicia6534]

I cried so hard as it reminded me of my Orphanage up bringing in Hopewell, New Jersey, and how difficult it was to survive the brutal beatings and the poverty this movie and song lyrics portray! Thirteen years of tremendous hardship and pain. This song gave me emotional, the physical and mental strength to push through and make a life for myself.

[@windk100]

Thank you for sharing about your life experience. If you haven't already, you should read Bruce's autobiography "Born to Run". Much of what Bruce shares echoes your experience, e.g., the poverty in Freehold New Jersey, staff endorsed beatings he experienced in Catholic school, etc. It's a very intimate read. Best wishes for a happy New Year!

[@nancymuller3291]

@@windk100 Yes, but his mother and his mother's family loved him and believed in him. His mother took out a $60 loan to buy him a Kent guitar. That kind of faith helps you hang in there.

[@evangunderman8247]

This is a song that resonates to anyone who has faced loss. I lost my father in law and my grandmother in law within 10 days of each other. Though we faced unbelievable pain, the Boss' song reminds me that pain is a natural thing and we can either succumb to it or we can carry on what was left to us. I choose to honor Greg and Jane and I hope they know that they made me a better man. Thank you both!

[@jaymorgenthal9479]

One of the most important films ever. Homophobic people entered that theater and after seeing it they were no longer Homophobic but had become to realize gay folks are people, just like everyone else and deserve respect like everyone else.

[@eddypaulinoalanocatorrez9282]

Que nombre tiene la película?

[@Fatima-fq6hj]

Toda vez que ouco essa musica, eu choro... Choro pela ignorancia das pessoas, da falta de amor no coracao pelo proximo, e pela intolerancia... Esse filme me tocou muito, muito. Maior interpretacao do Tom Hanks in toda sua carreira. Bruce escreveu essa musica com o maior amor e comprometimento com seu pensamento de dizer o que sente sobre o regime de opressao, medo e discriminacao que o mundo vive. Essa musica ainda e bem presente em significado e poesia... Simplesmente lindo.

A favourite of mine. Bruce Springsteen is an amazing artist and person. Also very down to earth in my view. He bought a concert to Christchurch, New Zealand after the devastating earthquake in 2011. Meant very much to Christchurch and all of NZ.

[@rrrrachel27]

Perfect song for a wonderful film...

[@michaelgerarddejong]

I've had the virus since 1992. The day I started the HIV combination drugs back in 2000 I put on the headphones and put up the volume and lidtened to this song over and over and completely broke down. How this man could step inside the shoes of somone with the virus and make ya feel he was your brother in fear. Amazing,simply amazing.

Been watching “Shallow” duet Oscars performance on repeat- because it was so well done. But to me this song is the best song for a motion picture, the best of all time. 25 years later, when you hear it you still weep. Denzel Washington and Tom Hank were just astonishing
