    Streets of Philadelphia is amazing, but when this song plays at the end of the movie you can't help but cry. Its about much more than AIDS. You think about family, friends, who's there for you when things aren't easy, about how no one wants to be alone...I could go on.

      jessie xie it's pretty shocking that Neil Young never released this on a record, or a best hits, he wrote it exclusively for the film, and the official soundtrack is the only way to get it.SO GOOD though. I thought it was built to spill when I first heard it in the movie....I don't mean to be rude but i'm not used to hearing such shockingly amazing music coming from long established acts. but that's fresh as a rose. if it was written yesterday it would be just as powerful and awesome.

    Just sayin', this is the one that should have won the Oscar. Less majestic than Springsteen's song, but much more intimate. And the lyric "I won't be ashamed of love" says it all; respect, empathy, and introspection from someone who is himself "straight." No disrespect to The Boss, because his song is amazing as well. Tough call, but this is the one that does it for me.

    The movie was a thing to behold. This song at the end is transcendent and redemptive. It makes the emotional payoff, when Beckett dies, a universally sad moment, yet one still filled with hope.
    When at the end Beckett says to his love, "I'm ready to go.", it is a triumphant and beautiful moment. He has fought, and won, all of his battles with tremendous courage. And now that he has accomplished his last, and arguably his greatest act--because it will ultimately help many others to stand up and to fight for themselves and their loved ones--when he is too tired to go on, he can choose when to stop fighting, and so when to die, with the love of his life with him so that he may go in peace.
    This song, positioned as it is at the end of both the movie and Beckett's life, is a magnificent coda that signifies the courage and grace that it takes to fight the good fight...even when one is faced with others who are filled with hate and bigotry toward your worthy cause. Neil Young did no less than to bring this song, and all that it signifies, into our hearts and minds, which is the best, most honest way to raise our consciousness about such an important, and worthy, subject. Tears flow freely because they are well deserved.
    Bravo, Mr. Young. What a class act, as always. Young's music, and his inner beauty and generosity of spirit, transcends him. If he had accomplished this only, in his long and storied career, he would still have been remembered and celebrated for this masterpiece about, and for, the human condition. It truly is a marvel to behold.

      +Dave Simpson It isn’t weakness that is causing you pain and sorrow, it is strength of character. The ability to love and to care about what happens to other human beings is something for which to feel pride, not shame. I cry too. You are in good company based on many other responses to this post and another of the same song that I have seen. Nurture this strength of character you have. You will never regret it. I don't.

    How this song never won the Academy award is beyond me. By a musician mostly known for his guitar and writing. Not the piano. Streets of Philadelphia by Springsteen is great. But the emotions emitted by this song are not even close to the Boss' version.
