    Chorus:
    I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone
    I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
    At night I could hear the blood in my veins
    It was just as black and whispering as the rain
    On the Streets of Philadelphia
    Ain't no angel gonna greet me
    It's just you and I, my friend
    My clothes don't fit me no more
    I walked a thousand miles
    Just to slip this skin

The first year will be a blur but it will become a celebration and and an ongoing treaaure as you see things more and different without them. It does get better eventually.

    This song never fails to bring me to tears. It brings to my mind and heart my first love, who perished from AIDS in 1991. He and I had parted ways 10 years before he died, but he never married, nor had anyone in his life, so my husband and I cared for him for the 8 months he lived after being diagnosed with AIDS. My husband is a magnificent, caring, compassionate man to have accepted this responsibility, and I am forever grateful to and for him. ❤

      🤔I found the 90s to be a boring decade. Flannel shirts were comfy though. We also got to see computers and cell phone technology evolve and expand more around 1997 to the smaller affordable ones. Cell phones in the 80s were heavy, expensive or installed in cars. But yeah, youtube is great for finding all the old videos that once played on MTV. Most of us born in the 70s havent acknowledged its existence since 2000.

    Homeless now, sleeping in my car, was military for 13 years and was diagnosed with a heart arrythmia issue that side lined. Just had surgery the other day on my heart and I'm in my car recovering, seen another homeless guy and I didn't have much myself and I gave him my water and he cried and it hit me, especially the part in this song that no angel is goin to great me, it's just you and me my friend..... God bless and merry Christmas!
    Update: I am in a apartment, car broke down last month but still walk to work, I still owe on that care because I had not great credit when I got it from the bills I defaulted on because I had to miss work over the heart stuff, but I have since filed bankruptcy, got a apartment, rebuilding credit and knock on wood my heart is holding up now! I had to have an Ablation procedure done and some other things but I’m holding up. Tryin to pay off this car to get a newer car and have one I’m paying on that I can drive. I appreciate the love and support! Not all homeless are fake nor do they ask for help, just remember that. We’re just like you but something happened to side line us, try and remember that.

    Saw my reflection in a window
    And didn't know my own face
    Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away
    On the streets of Philadelphia?
    I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone
    I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
    At night I could hear the blood in my veins
    Just as black and whispering as the rain
    On the streets of Philadelphia
    Ain't no angel gonna greet me
    It's just you and I my friend
    And my clothes don't fit me no more
    A thousand miles just to slip this skin
    The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
    I can feel myself fading away
    So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
    Or will we leave each other alone like this

      You know that living on the streets is so tough.
      Actually, it's not living, it's surviving, right?
      I can't even imagine how tough it is in my warm home, my warm, clean bed with my belly full.
      Stay strong mate, keep fighting those demons 😈 (booze/drugs are demons)
      Great Disturbed song: THE LIGHT, can give ppl strength, especially the live version, where ppl put up their hands who fought these demons themselves or know someone! Everyone hands up. You're not alone. (Depression, booze- and drug addiction are 😈 😈)

    This song makes me cry because I was homeless and many times wanted to give up because it definitely felt like no matter how hard I tried I could never better my situation. All the people I thought were my friends and that I helped over many years all turned their heads like they didn’t know me and I saw their true selves which to me was sad because I knew if they were in my situation I would try to help in anyway I could no matter what. It wasn’t really my fault for being homeless I had lost job and then everything went down hill. I lost all my belongings down to what I could carry. I feel bad for those out there going through it and I pray for them everyday. Even while I was homeless I helped a pregnant girl that was homeless with her boyfriend who were fighting over $20 that he wanted to buy liquor and she just wanted food so I got her some food with my food stamps to take back to their tent. Just see her smile was the best thank you. If people would understand that those who are homeless aren’t always there because of drugs or doing bad stuff, sometimes things just go bad for them like it did me. I’m glad after 3 yrs of being on the streets I finally got into my own home and did it all on my own. I lost a lot of things that I can’t replace but I’ve been able to replace what I could. But I’m glad I never gave up and I promised myself never to walk that road again no matter what. If we would all just give a helping hand to someone in need you would be surprised the simplest thing makes a big difference and helps in the biggest way. God bless and I pray all those stay warm during these winter months and pray our government would start to see the we need to solve our own problems before we keep sending all this help and money to these other countries when we have children and adults worried about their next meal and a safe place to lay their head at night. That’s not what God wanted for us!!! Open your hearts!!!

    Didn't know my own face
    Oh! brother are you gong to leave me wasting away
    On the Streets of Philadelphia?

      Hello Garry,
      I hope the you will not be upset when I say that I'm not a gay man with AIDS. Bruce's song The Streets Of Philadelphia is about what a man with AIDS can go through but the lyrics apply to many of us in so many other ways also. So, for example, when I identify with the lyrics "I was bruised and battered" I was indeed till very recently bruised and battered since November of 1971 but not because I have AIDS but because I suffered with anxiety and depression and much more else besides that I will not describe in this public space.
      I am a great fan of Springsteen but I did not go to his recent concert here in Dublin over two nights.
      I hope you see this post because RUclips doesn't always work as it should for me.
      All the best, Peter Nolan. Dublin. Ireland.

      Thanks for that Peter, and no I am not upset at all, I am a humanist and the song "works" for people on many levels. Although I have not suffered the "black dog" of depression or anxiety I am acutely aware the toll it takes on individuals and their families. I hope everything is well with you now and you are able to enjoy a fulfilled life on this beautiful planet we all live on. Just as an aside I am gigging with my band tonight so we will do a cover of this song and I will be thinking of you and yours, again thanks for posting.

    Lyrics
    [Verse 1]
    I was bruised and battered,
    I couldn't tell what I felt
    I was unrecognizable to myself
    I saw my reflection in a window,
    I didn't know my own face
    Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting away
    On the Streets of Philadelphia
    [Verse 2]
    I walked the avenue, till my legs felt like stone
    I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
    At night I could hear the blood in my veins
    It was just as black and whispering as the rain
    On the Streets of Philadelphia
    [Bridge]
    Ain't no angel gonna greet me
    It's just you and I, my friend
    My clothes don't fit me no more
    I walked a thousand miles
    Just to slip this skin
    [Verse 3]
    The night has fallen, I'm lying awake
    I can feel myself fading away
    So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
    Or will we leave each other alone like this
    On the Streets of Philadelphia

    What incredible magic! There I was, the start of the film "Philadelphia" up on the screen, fiddling around to get some subtitles (I'm old now and hard of hearing!) and the song drifted in...And I froze! Mermerized, and put on my headphones. It was HIM, it had to be HIM, but for the moment it didn't matter. There was the song to cry over. And when I had, and then done so again, I wiped my eyes, stopped the film and asked Google. It told me it was in fact The Boss, that amazing guy who wasn't spoiled by success but perfected by it. Bless him.

    Bruce Springsteen's poignant anthem, "Streets of Philadelphia," resonated deeply upon its 1994 release. Today, its haunting lyrics and evocative melody poignantly mirror the ongoing struggles plaguing the city's streets, notably the harrowing impact of fentanyl and other drugs.

    Lyrically, it's one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. It hits harder as I get older and know the feeling of losing loved ones. Musically, it's a masterful example of how less can be more. It's so simple yet impeccably constructed.

Wife wrote a letter to the Boss after surviving cancer and this play was something she put off but put off no longer(those with cancer will understand). Lovely letter from Bruce and family with a check for the soundsystem to support the production for the students. MORE OF A LEGEND THAN EVER to our family. Forever grateful Boss and forever Freehold Proud.

      Your children are not your children.
      They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
      They come through you but not from you,
      And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
      You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
      For they have their own thoughts.
      You may house their bodies but not their souls,
      For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
      You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
      For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
