    This is such a deeply moving song. It is about screaming out I AM I SAID. It is a desperate cry that you exist that you have meaning that I am I said.

      +Steffen Dass and Uncle...I honestly think Neil would VASTLY differ to both of your negative opinions about those who don't relate to/like his stuff. ND's depth of thought would enable him to know what an individual thing taste is. Life experience, age and numerous other things, mean MANY people enjoy things other than what we might expect or assume they'd enjoy. Personally.....I love this song!

      He used to say, the reason he played with no intermission, was because he was concerned that people would leave during intermission. Such a great voice, even today, at 82, his voice is still darn strong!!

    I was almost 5 when this song came out....When you wake up with a song this powerful echoing in your head, chasing away your dreams, and you finally hear what it really meant, it makes you wonder back at it all. I just had to hear it, once again, if only for one last time.

    I am almost 67, I have felt like this since I was 15 I just could not put it into words until I heard Neil sing it for the VERY first time. Now I know.

    I Googed this with the intent of learning it just for the Music, but was struck, (for the first time) by the Lyrics! Gen 2:18 came to mind. Yeah, all you REAL men out there, come clean, do you ever feel "LOST" and Alone? Even if you never admit it to anyone else, YOU know the "Truth". Thanx John for the post, you "Got" me! Gb bg

      richard, it is nice to see another fan who has been loyal to Neil for most of his life...like I, not only a big fan, but a retail seller at at major family record, component store here in Jacksonville when I was young,@21, but even now as a sr. I love his music and especially his creative work on Jonathan Livingston Seagull soundtrack, as well as all his Greatest Hits like this one. Rock and balladeer on, to Neil! Best, Chuck

    I love Neil Diamond, and this song is once of my favorites. He is just as good now at
    71 as he was in his early years. This is one of his best songs that he has written to date.
    I also like his other songs, especially "America"

    First time I heard Neil in concert he was the WARM-UP to Tommy Roe! (Oh Sweet Pea!).
    He is incredible in concert! Hot August Night tour. Different strokes for different folks! My twin sister loved head banging Heavy Metal. I also love the symphony and opera such as Tosca and La Traviata. We’re lucky to have so many genres in music.
    Who doesn’t love line dancing in a country western bar! Be kind!
