Philadelphia

Philadelphia, by Neil Young is a hauntingly beautiful song. I know that Bruce Springsteen's equally good track from the movie of the same name won the Oscar, but it should have gone to Mr. Young that year. To me, the song conveys all the feelings of the movie. Every time I listen to it, it makes me think of Tom Hank's character.
Music does play a large part in the film. Besides the songs by Springsteen and Young, there is a very pwerful scene with Hanks and Denzel Washington's character with opera music playing in the background.
If you haven't seen Philadelphia, or haven't seen it in awhile, you should check it out.

"Do you think he knows?"
