Neil talks about after releasing this song,fans started sending him frogs wearing crowns. Figurines,stuffed toys,etc. He received so many he made a room in his home a place to display them and called it the Frogatarium. He joked and said his next song would be about Rolls Royces! 🔥❤️💎
One of the greatest singer-songwriters ever. A very distinctive voice, a hugely successful performer and writer of numerous classics. For me, one of the best things about Neil Diamond is his impeccable phrasing. You can actually understand every word he's singing. If you do another Neil Diamond song, try Brooklyn Roads, Stones, Holly Holy, Dry Your Eyes... You will be blown away!
This song is about a very dark time in Neil’s life. He badly wanted the role of Lenny Bruce in an upcoming bio-pic. He moved to LA, immersed himself into the controversial character of Lenny. He didn’t get the part, and was depressed. The line “not even the chair” refers to the mental health professional he was seeing. This is my favorite song by Neil….but all are great❤️
Keep going down Neil's rabbit hole! No one cab touch his talent. So great at writing and telling you a story! 😊💖 I was so blessed to see him in concert. One of the few artists to not care how much money he made from his God given talent! Hot August Night is one of the best album masterpieces! Stay well Neil! Damn Parkinsons.
I saw Neil Diamond at Madison Square Garden. A friend asked me to go with her, and I went because she had nobody else to go with. I'll tell you, I wasn't into Neil's music. I was into a whole different genre of music. WELL! His voice blew me away. I never heard anyone so perfect in concert before! It taught me to be open-minded about different types of music. Anyway, Jayy, try "Sweet Caroline" next, its fun, people sing along.
That was my dream. Even to go once. How lucky you are to go 3 times. I was given tickets by my daughter, which turned out to be his last performance in LA. Through some unexpected events could not go. So my daughter asked a coworker if he wanted to go, he said "who is Neil Diamond" my mouth dropped when she told me, and Im sure hers did too, she was raised on Neil Diamond.
@@jay-zeelterbilinsky3977 Wow, I just wanted to go once, I am so jealous. Bet you had a wonderful time at every concert. My daughter said, he has some serious chops.
In a nut shell its about depression, along with all the other unfortunate side effects. Missing home and not being able to settle in a new place, and trying to go home and find everything is completely different and no longer feels like home anymore. Having everything that goes with fame and fortune, but not having the rudimentary basics of life and feeling alone and isolated from everyone around you. Coming home that you worked so damn hard to achieve, but it is cold and empty despite its heavy furnishings. The high voltage electric feeling of being up on stage, but cold loneliness at home once on his own. He seeks help, but even the man in the chair doesn't listen and is indifferent.
Neil is so good at every aspect of his career. He is a songwriter of the highest level. He has a voice unlike any other. And he could play the guitar. Other awesome song are "Sweet Caroline", "Solitary Man, & "Red Red Wine". Loved the video!
See that? He brought you in and made you FEEL. Neil does that. Next, please do Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show, preferably a live performance. There are so many more... like your channel!
Your insight is spot on. His father was a Rabbi and wanted him to study to become a Cantor in the synagogue. He went on to be a main force in the early days of rock.
That’s actually the plot of “The Jazz Singer”…a movie Neil Diamond made in 1980. It’s not autobiographical as Neil’s father was not a rabbi nor did Neil ever study to be a Cantor
I never have considered myself a Neil Diamond fan but back in the early 90s I was working at MSG and Neil played there 2 nights I was working the 1st night but after hearing/ seeing that 1st night I went into"work" the next night just to watch the show and it was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen and I've seen many. ✌
My favorite song of the great Neil Diamond!! "I am I cried, I am said I, and I am lost and I can't even say why. Leaving me lonely still" just awesome all the time.
Thanks gorgeous! Neil Diamond is one of America's treasures. Such a long and storied career. Absolutely one of the best singer/songwriters EVER. He's often overlooked but he's part of EVERYONE'S musical DNA. COMING TO AMERICA should be next if you haven't already heard it.
Absolutely. So well said. Been a fan for 5 decades. I Am I Said is not only my favorite song of his, but if I had to pick one song period as my favorite of all time…that’d be it. And I know, there are many wonderful songs in this world, by legends. But, if hard pressed to pick only one, this one hit me so deep when it first came out, and stayed with me, so I’d have to give it to Neil. His music was the soundtrack to my life. You’re right, he is often overlooked. Every view his induction to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, (finally?!)….classic, an unusually “lit” and irreverent, amusing acceptance speech from Neil, that they so deserved.
Javy, you definitely have to hear Neil sing "Holly Holy". I will choke you up. It does me and I am almost 70 years pld, a Combat Veteran, retired military and a Correctional Officer at a state prison. This song still gets me.❤
His voice is butter 👍 probably my favorite song of his. That's back when pure talent didn't need electronic effects - the performers only used them if they chose to add them. Tks Jayy for a beautiful memory and always great reaction 💕
Wife and I got to see his Christmas show in 1998. 3 hours of non stop hits just awsome. They performed on a circular stage in the middle of the arena. My wife asked what are those ladies doing down by the stage? I said they're throwing their panties up on stage. She was shocked 😲she is such an innocent sweety! Anything you pick from Neil you will love! You can see by your expression while your listening that it gets you in the heart! You stay safe young lady love your videos.
I took my Mom to see him for her 80th birthday a few months later he retired from touring. We were so privileged to see him, his voice was still incredible and the performance was second to none. The crowd sang along and clapped and danced to his whole repertoire of great hits. Mr Diamond you were a treasure for us all.
@Linda Graveling How wonderful that must have been for her, and for you too of course! My friend is named Neil Diamond, yes...seriously. It wasn't intentional because he was actually born a few years before Cracklin' Rose came out but after his first hit came out in the 60s...but that wasn't a solo. While she was alive it STILL didn't stop his mom from telling people that. When people start to brag about their sons that didn't know her well at functions. She'd be like listen I know we just met and I don't mean to be a brag about my son but just you aware...MY son is Neil Diamond! Then she's excuse herself and walk away from them. Of course they would ask the hostess or others who is that woman who just took off? And they say OH that's Mrs. Diamond. THAT was her way of having the one upmanship with the mothers and getting the final word when she wanted to give him a little dig. My friend was like Ma if we ever wanted these people somewhere and we're together don't you think they're going to be a little disappointed when they actually meet me? I look nothing like the guy! I'm a good 1/2 foot shorter, and I can't sing worth a shit....the ONLY thing is we're both born in Brooklyn. She was like quit being such a warrior, I gave you a nice name. His mother gave him a nice name too. People never going to see again don't know the difference and they think you're famous. I'm sure if his mother was being annoyed at a cocktail party should do the same thing for me. I'm his long time friend from high school out here on Long Island. That's where they moved to & we all used to think it was hysterical! LOL!!! 😂
Neil Diamond is one of my all time favorites, I LOVE LOVE LOVE his song writing, and his voice is totally unique. "Play Me", "Love on the Rocks", "America", "Cracklin' Rose" and "Solitary Man"...told you I was a fan! Lol!
Neil said that after releasing this song,fans began sending him frogs with crowns…figurines and stuffed animals. He got so many he put them all in a room in his house,called the frogatarium. He joked and said next song will be about Rolks Royce’s! Love this guy so much!🔥❤️💎
Let me add one relatively new song from Neil Diamond and probably in the top 6 of his recordings = "Pretty amazing Grace" Highly recommended listening!
I agree. Neil's last few albums contain quite some gems, like Pretty Amazing Grace, proving that, apart from his eighties output, he has written great songs throughout his career.
Got to see him perform live, an amazing performer, and he was not a young man either, sounded great. Thrill of a lifetime for me. I have loved him since I was a teenager, I am 72 now.
This song reminds me of a dusty and very dark cellar. The foundation walls built with river stones. It is old house. The mortar crumbles everywhere. Somewhere there in the dark against the far wall is an old porcelain wood stove. On it are the keys to these doors and a light switch.
When I was a teenager, I asked my mother if I could watch the Neil Diamond concert being aired on TV. She wasn't thrilled but said that I could. After about 15 minutes she came into the room and said, "Who's that?" I said "that's Neil Diamond". She sat down mesmerized and finally said "He's so gorgeous! You know, that man could put his shoes under my bed anytime!" I almost fell off the couch because the only actor I knew her to have a crush on was Robert Stack. But she loved Neil. It was hilarious. He's wonderful!
neil diamond...the voice ..you knew ..his music gold..this is one of my favorite.hes a legend whos music will never fade..his star will never dim.sadly he now battles alzheimer's which took Glen campbell.thank you Neil for so many songs that have lasted generations.thank you Jayy ..Neil Diamond is forever ..and solid gold
NEIL DIAMONDS, father, did not approve of him becoming a singer, his father had higher expectations for him, he wanted him to be a lawyer, or a doctor, but he convinced his dad, to come to a sold out concert, after the concert, his father was in tears, and realized his son was making the right choice in his music career. All the rest is history in the making. Love his music.
I grew up listening to this beautiful song my whole life. And it took on a entirely new meaning for me in such a needed way. That is the beauty of what you do. Thank you.
Neil faN for over 50 years now. Neil is one of the best entertainers right up there with Kenny Rogers. They know how to keep the fans happy. Neil can turn a phrase in his songwriting and his voice just cuts right into you where he makes you feel emotions you’ve been avoiding. Love Neil.
Neil Diamond wrote most of his songs one time he lived behind Elvis and Graceland in his little boy and Lisa Marie wood made out of the fence and talk his song Sweet Caroline which Neil Diamond like to Elvis's version of course that particular performance came from a CD it was a television special that they made into a CD called Hot Summer Nights he has an unusual voice he's been around since the sixties he used to have the big hairdo he's one of my favorite singers next to Elvis I like a song that he sings called you send me no flowers no more and a song called Forever in bluejeans AKA Elvis Junkie
Just the other day, I was speaking of all of the Great Jewish singers and song writers of my time. Neil Diamond, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Carley Simon....and the list does on even to this day with the fabulous Avi Kaplan. And we must not forget great musicians like Ben Bram...
Would love you to react to Neil Diamonds song,The Story if My Life. Beautiful love song any woman would love to hear! Others,Sweet Caroline,Forever in Blue Jeans,America,Song Sung Blue…soooo many masterpieces!
I thought he wrote the song from his perspective as a musician touring everywhere between the east and west coasts, with no real home. It's very hard to form relationship when you're constantly on the road, and loneliness will set in.
He’s amazing. Seen him a few times, too. I never imagined I’d be a Neil Diamond fan, but here I am. He’s done a few Christmas albums that are among my favorites. He’s just fantastic. 💜💜💜
One of my favourites by him. Sorry been away. Fell and was unconscious for hours. On dialysis and will live…now trying to save my leg. Missed you Miss Jayy 🇨🇦🥰🖖🏻please listen to burton Cummings or the guess who. Same guy
You should listen to Hello, Again, Hello. It reminds me of all the times hubby was away on deployments (pre-cell phones) and might get lucky to be able to call for a few minutes, sometimes in the middle of the night
@@dalesouders4136 Gunbarrel/Igou Gap area around mall. Work at Publix (Village at Waterside). Neil is great. Never got to see him live. Only song I can't listen to is "Story Of My Life".
Some great songs to react to…America…Love on the Rocks,Beautiful Noise,Song Sung Blue and Forever in Blue Jeans and The Story if My Life. They will melt your heart and blow you away!🔥❤️💎

I have been listening to this song for 50 years I still cry it is OK
Neil Diamond is a phemonal song writerr/artist. I shared many lonely nights listening to this man....

Everything by Diamond is exceptional.

I've been to every concert he did in Seattle since I was 4 or 5. Glad I paid extra for seats on the floor for his last concert. He's amazing.

Hot August Night is, in my opinion, his greatest album. Don't listen to it while driving you will get a ticket.
I've attended 9 concerts in Melbourne Australia. I absolutely admire and adore this legend
Neil is amazing. Anything you listen to you will not b disappointed!
He has so many great songs, but you would love his song America.
My dad chose my name after hearing Neil Diamond's song- "Desiree" Love him. Very talented singer-songwriter!.Great reaction
Smoke from a distant fire by Sandford Townsend band
Your insight is spot on. His father was a Rabbi and wanted him to study to become a Cantor in the synagogue. He went on to be a main force in the early days of rock.
With his pipes, he would have been a good Cantor but we would have missed out.
That’s actually the plot of “The Jazz Singer”…a movie Neil Diamond made in 1980. It’s not autobiographical as Neil’s father was not a rabbi nor did Neil ever study to be a Cantor

This was Neil in his prime. I was lucky to see him perform live during the 80's.
One of my favorites!!! He's amazing.
Someone asked Neil Diamond what is your favourite song of yours? He said, I AM I SAID! This is my favourite Song of his no question!

He's also really liked in Britain (im from England) Much loved here. Just a wonderful/epic voice. Also very nostalgic
Neil Diamond is a GEM!
Please react to Neil Diamond’s The Story of My Life. The most beautiful live song ever written! Amazing man!🔥❤️💎
No you were right. It’s actually a complex melody with key changes and finely tuned strings. Very beautiful song, sung by a great baritone singer

Parkinson’s, not Alzheimer’s.
I seen him during this tour in '89 in San Diego. Amazing performance.
If this song doesn't move a person they must be dead... This.. man... is.. magic.
So enjoyed your reaction. Love Neil Diamond .
His recordings are great. His live performances are better.
So true guy is amazing
I’ve heard the radio/album version for years. First time I’ve heard this performance. It’s like a different BETTER song. Excellent choice
Amazingly, he is always better live. He loves and connects to his audience and creates magic.
Posso ouvir essa música dez vezes no dia .Me emociono dez vezes. Linda de mais.❤
One of his greatest songs. True coming of age.
A song has a theme of personal reflection

Exactly how I felt when I lived those long years in Chicago.

Thank you for Playing Neil xxooo
He poured his soul into that
I remember his concerts were hot tickets man Neil Diamond was a classy guy all the girls liked
And that, that is the sound of pain.
Love this man. So talented
Neil Diamond wrote most of his songs one time he lived behind Elvis and Graceland in his little boy and Lisa Marie wood made out of the fence and talk his song Sweet Caroline which Neil Diamond like to Elvis's version of course that particular performance came from a CD it was a television special that they made into a CD called Hot Summer Nights he has an unusual voice he's been around since the sixties he used to have the big hairdo he's one of my favorite singers next to Elvis I like a song that he sings called you send me no flowers no more and a song called Forever in bluejeans AKA Elvis Junkie
Just the other day, I was speaking of all of the Great Jewish singers and song writers of my time.
Neil Diamond, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Carley Simon....and the list does on even to this day with the fabulous
Avi Kaplan. And we must not forget great musicians like Ben Bram...
Leonard Cohen
And Billy Joel , Barbra Streisand, Carole King, and Barry Manilow!
Went to three of his concerts in Houston Texas and saw him back in the 60's another great singer no screeming.
Depression in the best way to be explained.
He Is the 👑 King!!!
That a soul all in performance
Would love you to react to Neil Diamonds song,The Story if My Life. Beautiful love song any woman would love to hear! Others,Sweet Caroline,Forever in Blue Jeans,America,Song Sung Blue…soooo many masterpieces!
I thought he wrote the song from his perspective as a musician touring everywhere between the east and west coasts, with no real home. It's very hard to form relationship when you're constantly on the road, and loneliness will set in.
Best concerts I've ever been at. Crying to dancing every time I saw him. Listen to "if you know what I mean"
A true Legend.
I was blessed to see him in concert.
He played for more than three hours!
"I think, therefore, I am." My favorite is "Solitary Man".
Probably the best autobiographical songwriter ever.
Check Brooklyn Roads and the epic Hell Yeah
I love Neil Diamond 💕☮️💜
He’s amazing. Seen him a few times, too. I never imagined I’d be a Neil Diamond fan, but here I am. He’s done a few Christmas albums that are among my favorites. He’s just fantastic. 💜💜💜

Neil Diamond is the G.O.A.T of male performers period .... to bad he has Parkinsons disease
Thanks!
He sought fame and fortune. Then he found it and didn't know what to do with it.
Another great song on the same theme is "Limelight" by Rush.
