I was only 2 in 71 but I think my dad played it for me because it helps me think and feel a lot even though I only found it 10 or so years ago, now it's my go to:)
Omgoodness! I was just watching that movie tonight and heard this song. Had to put my earbuds in and go out on the deck and dance under the stars! My neighbors are going to remember how much they love it tomorrow! 😉 I can't describe how this song makes me feel! Thank you! 🙏✌💜
I am almost 74 years old,lived in Hong Kong,since when I was 25 ,I discovered Neil Diamond is one of the most favourite singer.During his performance career and singing I noticed he had a lot of contributions of musical influence on religion and philosophy.Up to mow ,I still listen his music always,God bless you Neil take care ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Imagine singing this so early in his career, how can you top this? Neil for me this is a religious experience, a lift from the daily grind to another dimension
I absolutely belt this tune out on the stereo and the neighbours kids came over to ask who it was and where they could get the song. I handed them the CD. They stared back at me..... So here we all are watching it on TH-cam.....🤣 G'day from AUSTRALIA everyone 🇦🇺😉
@@stephenfewson7188 🤣🤣🤣 still, super cool that some of today's kids can recognize a masterpiece when they hear it 🌟🔥🌟🏆👑 (they're lucky to have you as their neighbor! )
Man when Neil came on the music scene, he was so exciting! Handsome, brooding, voice that was penetrating and pure. Not to mention that he was absolutely gorgeous. Makes me glad I was alive and young back then. We were all prettier then!
I am completely MEZMERIZED by this performance, and enamored with this man's pure talent. No flashy costume, no stage antics, no props. Just the guitar, the voice, and himself putting himself out there for ALL to see. Doesn't compare with anything today that is for SURE. So thankful my friend turned me on to Neil Diamond long ago. He is absolutely THE BEST!
In another live version, Neil says this song is a stream of consciousness… meaning you don’t listen to the lyrics, you aren’t even aware of the words, you simply feel this song and the emotion behind it. A perfect description.
My piece of mind, go to when I need to get energized, listening anew, and realizing I attended the concerts, saw him live, and each concerts, the best thing in my musical experience!! Now as always the songs ring truth!!
Echt, een van de beste, het lijkt of Neill bij die moeilijke stukken, helemaaal geen moeite heeft om dat stuk te zingen, prachtig lied luister hier veel naar, liefs marian.
I saw Neil diamond play at Madison square garden. I wanted to take my mom even brought the ticket but she passed away before we had the chance. I have so many great memories of that era to bad there's no do overs. God bless us all the saints and the sinners,
Neil Diamond was in 1977, four days on Tour in Netherland.there were problems with the Hammond organ (110 Volt America-Europe 220 Volt) I'm approached by Lou van Rees Management for a solution to my Hammond Rent.After four days I got my B3 Hammond returned with Fire spots of Cigarettes.It frustrated me.They have me removed me from the Neil Diamond Fan Club because I had this listed on their site.Never Excuse of Neil Diamond ;-(
And look at his face after he finishes. Even with a small audience such as this he is transported by this song, by the sheer power and the magic of it, and it takes a few moments (and a sip of water!) for him to regain his composure and come back to the real world... Me too! He is magnificent!!! 🔥🌟🔥🌟🔥👏👏👏🎸🎶👑💯
Almost impossible to even pick one, but maybe Neil's best song. How many people nowadays could even dream of having this kind of vocal power and songwriting talent at the same time?! And he's still at it!
I love Neil Diamond! Listened to him so much as a teen and in my 20’s. He has a strong voice and his songs are about life and inspiring! I still love to listen to his music and always feel energized by them!
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.💖😁
I love them both. Lady Magdalene is so self-revealing! I think even more so than "I Am I Said." He was so very young when he wrote it questioning about whether he believed in love or not. It's so very poetic. "The man on the right that he sings about believes in love, "believing that love is a song for each man to sing," the man on the left doesn't, "believing that love is a dreamer's dream," then with so much passion, almost innocence, he asks "What about me? I'm the man in between." I absolutely love that song! It surprises me because I have met so many fans that have told me that they don't understand what it's about. The music with the orchestra is beautiful! He is so amazing in every way! His heart and his soul are the gifts in his talent! This song is wrapped in both so eloquently!
Holly holy eyes Dream of only you Where I am, what I am What I believe in Holly holy Holly holy dream Wanting only you And she comes And I run just like the wind will Holly holy Sing a song Sing a song of songs Sing it out Sing it strong Call the sun in the dead of the night And the sun's gonna rise in the sky Touch a man who can't walk upright And that lame man, he's gonna fly And I fly And I fly Holly holy love Take the lonely child And the seed Let it be filled with tomorrow Holly holy Sing a song Sing a song of songs Sing it out Sing it strong Call the sun in the dead of the night And the sun's gonna rise in the sky Touch a man who can't walk upright And that lame man, he's gonna fly And I fly, yeah And I fly Holly holy dream Dream of only you Holly holy love Holly holy love
Zo.n mooi lied Neil zing je nog je bent nu ouder twee jaar ouder dan ik ben ik hou ook van Keith Urban Pentatonix Austen Brouwn ik ben jou een tijdje kwijt geweest maar nu speel ik je muziek weer nog steeds erg mooi door blijven gaan jongen
I beheld Neil Diamond in concert when I was around 11 yo or so. Even at that age I was overwhelmed by him. No one sat, they stood and swayed and took it all in. It was an incredible experience.
Oh my goodness I saw him in concert and his song play me I cried it was always my love song but I cried because I was so grateful to actually get to see him sing it
We just saw the Broadway play "A Beautiful Noise" and I was so emotional at to many times during the play. If you ever get a chance to see it anywhere you'll be amazed.
Yes, Neil Diamond is pure magic.......been listening to him for decades and thank you for posting.........they don’t make good music anymore. God bless Neil and his family.❤️💞❤️💞❤️
He is a talented and gifted musician, one of the best ever. Whenever I listen to this song I feel a deep connection to my soul. How long have you been a fan of Neil diamond?
I heard this song for over two dozen times as we flew on United airlines to Vietnam. we were all young G.I.s barely in our late teens and early twenties. It will always have a special place in my heart as I recall my good buddies who did not come back. i get nostalgic as I hear the beautiful sound of the words and musical background. thank you for letting me share my thoughts. Adios Amigos!
Neil Diamond is one of the most admired Artists of the century in my opinion and it’s true . I love him I never met him and I ‘m only ordinary fan is just he is a nice likable person. I watch a lot of videos and I can tell it. I pray for him least I can do . I’m a Carmelite of third order and it’s our job to pray to all people who needed it!
Love the Beatles, love the Stones, Pink Floyd, Zep, Clapton, Bowie,SRV, Aerosmith, Hendrix, Love them all, but Neil Diamond is far and away my favorite!!!
Poet, composer, singer, performer all rolled into one super star that only comes about once in a millennia, so happy it happened in the one I was around to enjoy
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.🌹❤️
@@noahmills.6643 don't know if this is the real Neil so I have a pop quiz question for you....what is the name of the Neil Diamond musical coming out in 2022 ?
Dit is het eerste lied, waar ik moeite mee had, zo mooi, bleef huilen, is goed. Mijn verdriet zat vast en is eruitgekomen. Dank je wel , en liefs marian
In 1975 his Hot August Nights tour sold out everywhere! We stood in the cold snow for 36 hours to get tickets. I’ve been to many concerts from The Doors, Janice Joplin to U2. But his concerts? WOW!!
Neil, thanks for your music. My beloved husband died last year and I must say because of your music I feel less unhappy. I was already fan of yours from my childhood and now even more. Thank you
I am very sorry for your loss and happy the song made it a little less painful for you this song saved my life only for this song I wouldn't be here now
Neil's music tend to have that effect on me, Whenever I listen to this song I feel a deep connection to my soul. How long have you been a fan of Neil diamond?
seen Neil Diamond 7 times with my mom, as gifts each time to her. I miss you mom, can't stop listening to his songs because it keeps you ever so closer to me always. ♡♡♡
This man has such compassion & soul in his voice,I just stop in my tracks when he comes on the radio,love the man! ♥ My dream is to see him in concert ♥ This is so beautiful,can it really be live?
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.🍁🍁🌼
SURELY IS ALIVE. AND CREATED BY GOD. !! THING IS THAT THIS THE TIME THAT THE UNGODLY. WHO HAVE REIGNED OVER THE WORLD BY THE WOMAN JEZEBEL HAS RULED OVER THE EARTH TO DESTROY IT BY CONTROLLING IT AS PER REVELATION CH 13 IS COMING TO AN END. AND WE WILL HAVE 1000 YEARS OF THE PEACE AND LOVE ALL MIGHTY GOD. WHILE THOSE WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE BETTER THAN THOSE THAT GOD AND JESUS CREATED US. IN THEIR IMAGE. WILL NEVER BE HEARD FROM AGAIN !! Just to share ,I met Elvis PRESLEYS Nephew in Australia 35 YEARS AGO, Said that his Dr said that it was not the drugs that destroyed him which he used in an attempt to wash away his pain. But problem was that not one ministered to Elvis to free him of the Grief and Trauma of his still born twin brother Jessie ( also means Jesus )) when he was born . Got his divorce papers same day his mom's died !! When Elvis and boys went to do their gigs. They would always start with a prayer. When gig finished they would play gospel songs till Sun up !! One night the bouncer said. YOU CAN NOT PRAY IN HERE !! ELVIS SAID. PACK UP. WE ARE GOING HOME. OOOPS. GUARD WAS HUMBLED. MAY GOD TOUCH YOU TO NIGHT IN A WAY THAT YOU NEED IT THE MOST. AND YES. HE CAPTURES ALL OF YOUR TEARS. AND KEEPS THEM ALLL IN BOTTLES BECAUSE THEY ARE SO PRECIOUS TO HIM !! AMEN !
I went to see him with friends and thought, "Well he'll be corny and boring". Wow was I ever wrong. Polished and smooth!! He had a fabulous band really strong voice. I'd love to see him again.
I saw him in the mid-80's when I was a kid in Dallas and I was behind the stage. He dedicated a song to a pregnant women below us and sang the whole thing straight to her. I remember it was getting late and Neil asked the audience what time it was and they lied and said 9:30 when it was 11:30 so he'd keep playing. Neil called them out on their lie jokingly but kept on playing. Awesome guy.
Unfortunately we never will.I thought he was shaking bad during his new years eve performance. I thought it was the cold.Parkinson's disease.Why,lord,why?
Living .. Not dying from Parkinson's disease... Happy 80th Superstar.. We will always hold you in our Hearts and our souls.. for many years to come too.. God Bless you Neil
I saw him at the Greek Theater in the 70's and this brings the memory to life. I love this man, I love his beautiful face, his terrific hair, his voice, his music, I love to watch him....what's not to love about this man? Thanks a bunch for posting this.
In an interview with the BBC, Diamond said of this song: "What I tried to do was create a religious experience between a man and a woman.." Well, He certainly succeeded. 💝 One of my all time favorite songs. 🔥👆
Song of Songs, Holly= crown of thorns, Lame man healed, Sun commanded to rise, Holy Son. Lyrical expressions changed in later years made the journey ever clearer.
I love his voice and his song writing ability, In high school; I was in an all male choir class .. actually it was where they put all the morons and idiots for 1 hour a day to give the rest of the school a break from our shenanigans ... anyway we had to sing a Neil Diamond song at a recital in front of the entire school ... we sounded pretty good because the material was awesome !!!
Good call, even though Paperback writer bass may be more complex. With this song I immediately think of Fiddler on the Roof with the bass, which I suppose is appropriate since Neil is Jewish. I realize in this live version that it is first a violin or possibly cello and then definitely a timpani doing the bass. The recording has a bass guitar. It is so simple but yet so powerful. I love how Neil sings his songs, like he believes so deeply in them.
@Carolann Cannuli-Denton No mam. First post was 100% on point. This talent is a gift from God, his Creator. Diamond's journey is reflected doubtlessly in the lyrics. Song of Songs, Healing the lame, Holy Son, Holy Rain. And Holly? Emblematic of Jesus' crown of thorns. There's more.
We certainly do have Free Will to choose our paths. It seems even more clear today, hearing ND's lyrics- that he has chosen to keep his eyes on the Lord. His songs remain a gift from above🙌
I m from India and used to listen Frank Sinatra, Robbie Williams, Brian Adams etc. listened Neil Diamond in 2020 while browsing Amazon Music and now he's my inspiration just like RD BURMAN . Both never disappoint. NeiD is the best.

Once you discover this song you don’t stop listening to it. At least in my case. I can’t stop.
Looping for an hour
Totally agree!!!
midnight mass bought me here...... probably 10th time since this morning
@@Rob-fn1kp same. What a scene. What a song!
Magic I love his voice, I like solitary man too argh the whole double album ❤❤❤❤South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Neil Diamond gehörte mit seinen Songs zu meiner Jugendzeit. Er singt auch heute noch.Und ich hoffe , dass er seine Passion noch lange ausleben kann.
Unfortunately he's got multiple sclerosis and can't any longer.
Hearing him always makes me happy and peaceful. May God bless him always.
❤
If you grew up in the 70's, you knew this music. It was my dad's favorite and therefore also mine.
I wore out so many albums and CD’s of his “Hot August Night Album”, which of course had this song on it. Plus so many other great ones!
cool!
💯 😊
I was only 2 in 71 but I think my dad played it for me because it helps me think and feel a lot even though I only found it 10 or so years ago, now it's my go to:)
Still listening and watching and loving him August 2024♥️👍🎼
Why wouldn't you be?
me also love him
Great SINGER!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
He only gets better....
Quality and soul.
Watching Neil Oct 2024
Hearing about his illness throws me. A person who gave us so much through music. Pray for him. He did for us though his music.
You are very kind person. He is happy being solitary man in heaven now at peace knowing his music 🎶 like him lives on in our hearts 🥰 and lives!
U R So Right ...
He is still alive!
He Will Be Alive 'IN OUR HEART FOREVER❤
The Lord is using this music My words cannot express the totality of the change.

I can’t get enough of this song.
Thank you Midnight mass

Here because of midnight mass also, I'd never heard this song before, it's now right up there in my favs

Loved this song when it first came out and still love it. It is so emotional and dare I say, Holy!!! Perfect in every way.

We still have him! Boy am I old!!! ❤
That voice; are you kidding me? NO ONE SINGS LIKE THIS! ✨🥂💖
Imagine singing this so early in his career, how can you top this? Neil for me this is a religious experience, a lift from the daily grind to another dimension
Def. a religious experience. 100%
Still uplifting 🙏🏻
I absolutely belt this tune out on the stereo and the neighbours kids came over to ask who it was and where they could get the song.
I handed them the CD. They stared back at me.....
So here we all are watching it on TH-cam.....🤣
G'day from AUSTRALIA everyone 🇦🇺😉
And he was able to top it over and over!!

@@lostintime8651 lol, I make you right. He wasn't underestimated at all .... Everyone thinks he is brilliant :)

You don't sell a hundred million records and get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame AND the Songwriters Hall of Fame if you're underrated. 🙂
You kiddies who don;t; know music should do your research

Just the guitar, the voice, and himself putting himself out there for ALL to see. Doesn't compare with anything today that is for SURE. So thankful my friend turned me on to Neil Diamond long ago.

Fully agree!!!
Fantastic
Great performance! His voice
ist outstanding and will always
bei heard and loved!
I agree love from Australia
Beautiful voice and one of the best looking guys ever!
One of his best songs! He was so young in ‘71. Where has time gone? I want his music back!❤❤
I graduated in 71 and to this day still love his music 🎶
In another live version, Neil says this song is a stream of consciousness… meaning you don’t listen to the lyrics, you aren’t even aware of the words, you simply feel this song and the emotion behind it.
A perfect description.
This is one of those songs that leaves me thinking, "how is that possible?" "How could someone have come up with that?" True artistry.
Beautiful man with amazing voice and talent. I'l love him forever..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I crushed on this beautiful man in 71 and still do.
From the first strums on the guitar to the final verse , 100% Neil Diamond!! No auto-tune or lip-synching .1!00% pure Awesome!!
Love this Man his own voice pure talent at the best, purely Spectacular.
Hr knew it was in him, alright!
My piece of mind, go to when I need to get energized, listening anew, and realizing I attended the concerts, saw him live, and each concerts, the best thing in my musical experience!! Now as always the songs ring truth!!
What a Talent!... The most unique voice and Song Writing talent ever.
There will never be another Neil Diamond! He will always be a part of my happy memories growing up in the 70's. May his music never be forgotten!
Fear not. A man once referred to as the Jewish Elvis ain't going to be forgotten any time soon.
LOL love that...never heard it before...TRUTH
Have truly loved his songs for last 46 year's. Brings back memories from 70's.

He still does..
saw him when he first started in kansas city
a while back hey....love your "mr warmth"bet your are too
Seriously well put, Mr. Stone!
Neil said this is one of his favorite that he has wrote.
This song makes me feel I can do anything.
It gives me HOPE.
Thanks Neil..
I found this song when I was 15. Still magical 49 years later.
I am so glad my parents played Neil Diamond for me while I was in the womb instead of Mozart
I think Neil Diamond is a pure genius, he is one of the best singers of all time.
They don’t make them today. Our music generation gave us what we loved then and still love today fifty years later.
Complete package.... humans know when they see themselves up against the mirror.... we choose Neil cuz Legend

Exactly! He is the best, his voice and his passion cannot be surpassed by anyone!
Noticed the popular songs involve remarkable tune where they resonate with the spirit our Maker gave us.
maybe Steve Perry or Freddie Mercury?
daniel stewart Both those guys had great voices but Queen's music in particular was pedestrian and mediocre albeit well known. Not in this league.
I love Neil Diamond! Listened to him so much as a teen and in my 20’s. He has a strong voice and his songs are about life and inspiring! I still love to listen to his music and always feel energized by them!

Musica para ouvir nos anos 70 80 90 2000 2010 e 2020. Sempre maravilhosa. Grande Neil
Saw him in Allentown before he canceled his remaining concerts.... i'm so blessed.
He has always been a very great favorite

In 1975 his Hot August Nights tour sold out everywhere! We stood in the cold snow for 36 hours to get tickets. I’ve been to many concerts from The Doors, Janice Joplin to U2. But his concerts? WOW!!
Neil, thanks for your music. My beloved husband died last year and I must say because of your music I feel less unhappy. I was already fan of yours from my childhood and now even more. Thank you
So sorry for your lose!
I am very sorry for your loss and happy the song made it a little less painful for you this song saved my life only for this song I wouldn't be here now
less unhappy is good, hope you are still getting less unhappy each day but never forgetting the memories of your beloved husband;)
Peace! MMSDJC

SURELY IS ALIVE. AND CREATED BY GOD. !! THING IS THAT THIS THE TIME THAT THE UNGODLY. WHO HAVE REIGNED OVER THE WORLD BY THE WOMAN JEZEBEL HAS RULED OVER THE EARTH TO DESTROY IT BY CONTROLLING IT AS PER REVELATION CH 13 IS COMING TO AN END. AND WE WILL HAVE 1000 YEARS OF THE PEACE AND LOVE ALL MIGHTY GOD. WHILE THOSE WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE BETTER THAN THOSE THAT GOD AND JESUS CREATED US. IN THEIR IMAGE. WILL NEVER BE HEARD FROM AGAIN !! Just to share ,I met Elvis PRESLEYS Nephew in Australia 35 YEARS AGO, Said that his Dr said that it was not the drugs that destroyed him which he used in an attempt to wash away his pain. But problem was that not one ministered to Elvis to free him of the Grief and Trauma of his still born twin brother Jessie ( also means Jesus )) when he was born . Got his divorce papers same day his mom's died !! When Elvis and boys went to do their gigs. They would always start with a prayer. When gig finished they would play gospel songs till Sun up !! One night the bouncer said. YOU CAN NOT PRAY IN HERE !! ELVIS SAID. PACK UP. WE ARE GOING HOME. OOOPS. GUARD WAS HUMBLED. MAY GOD TOUCH YOU TO NIGHT IN A WAY THAT YOU NEED IT THE MOST. AND YES. HE CAPTURES ALL OF YOUR TEARS. AND KEEPS THEM ALLL IN BOTTLES BECAUSE THEY ARE SO PRECIOUS TO HIM !! AMEN !
Even though I just got done screamin' "I Am, I Said" with Neil Diamond, this song is his masterpiece in my humble opinion.
Neil Diamond: The frog who dreamed of being a king... and then became one. 🙂
He is an American classic. It breaks my heart that I'll never see another live show. He is always magnificent!
I saw him in Seattle in the 80s-wonderful concert!
Master musician, writer, composer, artist, etc etc …
Beautiful!😊
This song is masterpiece!
I went to see him with friends and thought, "Well he'll be corny and boring". Wow was I ever wrong. Polished and smooth!! He had a fabulous band really strong voice. I'd love to see him again.
I saw him in the mid-80's when I was a kid in Dallas and I was behind the stage. He dedicated a song to a pregnant women below us and sang the whole thing straight to her. I remember it was getting late and Neil asked the audience what time it was and they lied and said 9:30 when it was 11:30 so he'd keep playing. Neil called them out on their lie jokingly but kept on playing. Awesome guy.
Well I see him tomorrow night in concert in Leeds. Have no idea why I left it so long to see him. Have enjoyed his music since the 70's. :)
Unfortunately we never will.I thought he was shaking bad during his new years eve performance. I thought it was the cold.Parkinson's disease.Why,lord,why?

Para el mundo y para el umano
Living .. Not dying from Parkinson's disease... Happy 80th Superstar.. We will always hold you in our Hearts and our souls.. for many years to come too.. God Bless you Neil
As Linda Ronstadt said, you die WITH Parkinson's (complications), not FROM it because it is so slow.
Love it. Such happy memories. Thank you Neil.
So beautiful. Such a command of his voice. Such a delicate and forceful surrendering to the song. I love it. Thank you Neil Diamond for your songs.
PRAISE GOD...FOR THE GIFTS HE HAS GIVEN NEIL DIAMOND ...SHALOM...
Praise Neil for all the hard work he has done.
AMEN!
Nikki I only worship our Heavenly Father, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.
he doing his 50th a nniversery concert now
mr. warmth in Denver tonight to see him in a few hours. Psyched!
I saw him at the Greek Theater in the 70's and this brings the memory to life. I love this man, I love his beautiful face, his terrific hair, his voice, his music, I love to watch him....what's not to love about this man? Thanks a bunch for posting this.
Ditto everthing you said
Youve seen HAN 72?
You surely blessed
In an interview with the BBC, Diamond said of this song: "What I tried to do was create a religious experience between a man and a woman.." Well, He certainly succeeded. 💝 One of my all time favorite songs. 🔥👆
Griffondor1 and i see the relationship between the church “holly holy” - the bride and Jesus, the groom.
Song of Songs, Holly= crown of thorns, Lame man healed, Sun commanded to rise, Holy Son. Lyrical expressions changed in later years made the journey ever clearer.
He made some great timeless music that'll never get old.🕺
He’s so handsome, still, and what a song! I remember this frm when I was just 14 years old. Sure brings me back
This gave me goosebumps when I first saw it on TV back then and it still gives me goosebumps. And he does a killer concert.
I love his voice and his song writing ability,
In high school; I was in an all male choir class .. actually it was where they put all the morons and idiots for 1 hour a day to give the rest of the school a break from our shenanigans ... anyway we had to sing a Neil Diamond song at a recital in front of the entire school ... we sounded pretty good because the material was awesome !!!

I think this is one of the coolest bassist melodies ever.
Good call, even though Paperback writer bass may be more complex. With this song I immediately think of Fiddler on the Roof with the bass, which I suppose is appropriate since Neil is Jewish. I realize in this live version that it is first a violin or possibly cello and then definitely a timpani doing the bass. The recording has a bass guitar. It is so simple but yet so powerful. I love how Neil sings his songs, like he believes so deeply in them.
Nope! My mistake! The recording I have sounds like drums and piano together creating the bass melody. You can't fault the man for being musical!
The man is a genius sounds the same live as he does on the radio LEGEND
Maybe one of the greatest "crescendo songs" of our time.......and it stands the test of time. Rock on ND.
Still one of his best songs live, Neil is the best live performer hands down. Cannot wait to see him again in 2015!
Yes, I will see him Monday night as he stops here in Boston. Cannot wait.. He always puts on a great show.
Tony P 617 representing from the 808 clean and sober !!!! HOPE YOU ENJOYED
Thank you my Lord Jesus Christ for your tremendous gifts you give to us through people. Truly a beautiful and remarkable singer and human being.
@Carolann Cannuli-Denton No mam. First post was 100% on point. This talent is a gift from God, his Creator. Diamond's journey is reflected doubtlessly in the lyrics. Song of Songs, Healing the lame, Holy Son, Holy Rain. And Holly? Emblematic of Jesus' crown of thorns. There's more.
@Louis Barrera you are spot on, sir. Diamond's journey is well documented in the lyrics of this and other Spiritually inspired works.
We certainly do have Free Will to choose our paths. It seems even more clear today, hearing ND's lyrics- that he has chosen to keep his eyes on the Lord. His songs remain a gift from above🙌
A fine Jewish boy
Not many songs can start so slow, and that get you bouncing in the air!! Love it!!
Absolutely♥️
This is not a song...this is passion.
I m from India and used to listen Frank Sinatra, Robbie Williams, Brian Adams etc. listened Neil Diamond in 2020 while browsing Amazon Music and now he's my inspiration just like RD BURMAN . Both never disappoint. NeiD is the best.
