There’s so many singers impersonators but I haven’t heard one that can sing or imitate Neil Diamond. He’s unique, distinctive and you can feel his soul when he sings. My soul connected with him since I was a little girl. Couldn’t remember who was he, had his image in my head then I found those videos. I had no idea who Neil Diamond was until recently. Now I can’t stop listening to his songs. My forever crush.❤❤ I love him.😍
Diamond told Larry King that it was probably his favorite when frustrated and afraid while auditioning for the movie Lenny who Dustin Hoffman ended up filming.
Love Neil Diamond, this is my favourite song of his... and those eyelashes! Beautiful he is, beautiful song, exceptional songwriter, musician, artist... one of the greatest we have ever been blessed with xx thank you, Neil Diamond, for your music & all the memories xx
My very first concert ever was my mother and father taking me to see Him perform in Virginia Beach! I have never been so happy that my mother had the biggest crush on this man. It's because of that, my entire being breaks into the biggest, brightest smile anytime i hear his beautiful songs. My first 45 record that i ever owned was "Forever in blue jeans" and my own children have been brought up with the same smiles and beautiful memories that his songs bring forth. Thank You for making my life that much better. You bring smiles and comfort whenever i needed it, through your breathtaking songs. I even gave birth to my own daughter in 2000, watching the Jazz Singer before I went to work as a Mom myself. You touch generations through your songs. Thank you for making my life so much better for having your music be a part of it. You have not only touched people of Your age... But your breathtaking lyrics and heart wrenching love songs will touch the future generations to come. Humbly, I thank you. You made my childhood a very happy one.
My brother died 1981 and when I miss him I play this song it feels like he is then with me . We could listen to Neil for hours me and my brother. Still miss him very much.
I saw him perform this song at THE GREEK THEATER, August 1972, my 1st child was born Sept 1972...indeed, we both loved him perhaps in a similar way! ❤️
Never could understand this song when i was 12 years old, but now at 58 what can i say more. Thank you Neil for this beautiful song that always makes me melt when i hear.
That is me I am from Juarez Mexico and I’ve lived in Denver 40 years and it is still not home but neither is Juarez anymore and there is a sense of being lost
Feels like a lot of girls songs..he makes my heart swell...i remember back then how i let a true love slip away...found him yrs later he was dying with cancer..all Neil s songs touch me
You listen to this music and the memories are all good. The times were way better than the divisive times today. Somehow, someway we need to get back to those times when politics are irrelevant in our lives.
Neil Diamond is one of the greats! So glad we can watch and listen to him again after all the years he's been performing! This song is one of my favorites of his many wonderful songs. He had it all- beautiful voice, beautiful face, beautiful lyrics !!!
I have always had a crush on Neil. Unfortunately, years later I am still crushing. Wherever you are tonight Neil, I am sending you loads of hugs 🤗 and 😘. Cheers mate..........xxxxxxx
I was thirteen, when I heard this song at first, and I was so influenced from this - he told my truth in this song. It was so heartbreaking. Now I'm a little bit older, I'm a happy, and not lonely lady, but the truth is the same :-) We come alone, an we will go alone... such is what life is :-)
I am I said , to no one there, and no one heard at all not even the chair.........I am I cried , I am said I .... this guy has always struck me as brilliant.... funny how songs have different meanings to each individual and they can mean something different at different stages in ones life..... what a career this gentleman has had .....!!
I recently got more into Neil's music, I mean everyone's heard "Sweet Caroline".. this song though, solitary man. This talks to my soul. He is one of my heroes.
Omg I was only 11 when this came out. But seeing him singing this emotionally charged Masterpiece and OMG his eyes and beauty is just melting my heart! Thank you you tube! I’ll def be looking for more of his live performances. Now I have a teenage like crush on him at 63 years young. I’ve never seen such beautiful eyes and soul. God bless you Neil. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
The first verse is so true: I went from a small city to Berlin and now 20 years later I realized Berlin has never become my home, but my home has changed so much that it´s not mine anymore. Makes me feel lost much too often :(
callasmar Same here, between my hometown 25 miles (what, 8 km I think? Hour+ drive in traffic anyway) outside Portland, Oregon (USA) and now having lived in Portland proper for over a decade, and leaving my hometown 20 years ago. Seems like a small thing but it’s a world away, the small farm town and nearest big city. All my family moved out of state, all my grandparents & upper generations died aside from Dad, my mother died in 2014, so all the things I had before when I was home are gone. So even if I moved back, those changes plus the town’s own changes, what with this region’s continual massive growth, mean home is gone regardless. So I suppose it’s a common theme many of us have. Certainly those who have moved around, but maybe even those who stay put and everything changed around them. Huge changes here on the west coast of the US as expensive housing forces everyone to move around, and the people from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle all seem to escape here to Portland. Our own housing is pushing locals out to other, cheaper, places so nothing stays even remotely the same. Again, universal ideas I suppose, in many ways. As change is the only constant.
Gorgeous, this song stirs my soul. I thank you for your songs they were always echoing around our house as my Mother was a huge fan too. I went to see you in Brisbane and loved it. I will miss seeing you in concert again. I am glad we can come see you here. Sending you love from Australia and may God bless you.
A lot who have watched the movie 'Every Which Way But Loose' don't know he wrote the song 'I Seek The Night' for the soundtrack. It's the first song Sondra Locke sings.
I saw Neil perform this song in concert shortly after I moved to a large city from a very small town in northern Iowa. I went from knowing and being known by almost everyone in my community to being utterly unknown by anyone. I've never felt so alone and insignificant and I could really identify with this song. Neil's songs are not just collections of notes and lyrics, they are short biographies.
I just love this song "I AM, I SAID" of Neil Diamond.. it's really a very very beautiful, touchy, meaningful song, lyrics, music and performance with his beautiful powerful rich deep soulful voice is really super.. fantastic.. mindblowin.. outstandin.. history.. brings tears into eyes.. all the best to Neil Diamond and may God bless him.. all my💘💘💘💘💘💘💘forever💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘🌹🌲🌷⚘💐🇮🇳🙏
As a life long elvis lover I must confess I don’t know much about neils discography apart from the well known tracks! I must say this is outstanding absolutely brilliant and he is a really good looking bloke too not too dissimilar to elvis in 1971!
My sweet little yorkie loved to hear neil diamond for hours when we traveled. He is our favorite. She passed on just before christmas. She loved him me too.❤😘🥰🎶🎵
Back in the time....when the world was normal
In 1971, when the Viet Nam war was raging??? That is what you are calling "normal"? It was anything BUT normal for those men in Viet Nam.
Look how beautiful he is..
He’s drop dead gorgeous.
A perfect gorgeous moment in time preserved forever. So lovely.
Ja,er ist so ein toller,sexy Mann...und diese Stimme!Unerreicht...😘
Truly! ❤
He was pretty handsome back then !!!!!!
That voice, those eyes!
Sadly not now as he's aged like us all😮
27th May 2024 and still listening, I'm 77 so it's been for many years, loved his films as well as his songs ❤❤
That's what a super Star looks like.
A humble musician who became a super star.
Today*s, singers should only have
Half the talent this DUDE had..
Classic!!!!!
Great song with a great tune. And as a totally straight man I have to say he is such a good looking man
Well said Sir,yeah he was a fine specimen of man.did you read all the women's texts?
Damn,these ladies love Neil.❤
Magnifico
Neil at his best. His voice is perfect and he is so bloody handsome ❤
Indeed! ❤️
So gorgeous!
He was a gorgeous man I can see why he had several wives…..

My forever crush.❤❤
I love him.😍
Das kann ich nachvollziehen , auch ich bin ein Fan von ihm , seine Lieder sind wunderschön .
Super sad he's having health problems. God bless you, Neil!
🇺🇲 Dieses Lied von Neil Diamond höre ich sehr gerne . Es tut mir sehr leid , daß er im Alter an Parkinson leidet . 🇺🇲
The most beautiful eyes I've ever seen in my whole life ! ❤️❤️❤️
God! His mother must have been so proud ! Neil Diamond is phenomenal! His singing digs right into my emotions.
He has the most beautiful eyes I ever seen. Just melt in his eyes. This song is sooooo beautiful as well. SIGH
No one in the world or Mars that sings better than Neil Diamond a national Treasure !!!!!!!!!!
"I never cared for the sound of being alone" is just a classic lyric line.
True🙏
This song is a timeless classic, no one can sing it like Neil Diamond
I've come for Neil
I know what you mean, I've tried with my voice and I can't, even do it when I'm sober😏😮👍
I know I am kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@@danielguillermo7055 try finding movie finder app it has movies and TV shows
Yea.. This should NEVER be covered.. 🙏🙏
He’s the most beautiful man
Such a beautiful man.
Happy 80th Birthday Neil💎
still listening during this pandemic
January 23, 2021
Glad he's still listening still, too
one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Neil Diamond: The best storyteller of my lifetime!
Me too... really means a lot to me that he writes his own music...best ever!
Him and Gordon Lightfoot, who we just lost. Rest in peace, Gordon. 🙏
Simply gorgeous both man and voice
Amazing voice and so handsome😍❤
Hot! Hot! Hot! God threw the pattern away when he made this man!
one of the greatest songs of all time.
Diamond told Larry King that it was probably his favorite when frustrated and afraid while auditioning for the movie Lenny who Dustin Hoffman ended up filming.
Ed P. And the song did him much better than the role would have, career-wise.
It was the hardest song for him to make
Why bother judge when you know the answer
Agreed. And arguably the most existential.
3:29 " ..leaving me lonely still..."as he twiched his eyes with pain...I can feel the deepest feelings he is conveying. Your're a legend Neil!
Him wincing at that part always got me.
Because it was real emotion. A difficult time in his life. He himself said it takes him time to regroup after singing this song. It gets me everytime.
He is a great singer and song writer and absolutely gorgeous
The best song Neil has written. And he sings with great emotion, also.
❤️
So young and vulnerable.
Beautiful.
Beautiful song and gorgeous man
That bass tone….. absolutely killin’
One hell of gorgeous guy , with gorgeous voice !
what a beautiful voice with a beautiful eyes
Damn! He's beautiful! Love love his voice too❤
Love Neil Diamond, this is my favourite song of his... and those eyelashes! Beautiful he is, beautiful song, exceptional songwriter, musician, artist... one of the greatest we have ever been blessed with xx thank you, Neil Diamond, for your music & all the memories xx
Neil's song tells all about him. Very iconic and beautiful! 🎼🎵🎸🎤🎶
Olá i m from Brazil my name is Paul
Hard to believe it was 48 years ago. I was 7 at the time. I truly love this beautiful Spirit. Such a gift to us all. Thank you Neil ❤
Absolutely dear! I'm 53 and at 5 i remember loving his music then..its 2:30 am and I'm laying here, if the last sounds i hear are his id die happy
I was 30 years old sadly. I did however like Neil and his songs like you.
He’s a musical icon.
I was 13 and I loved him dearly. He was so hot and sexy and that voice!!!!
My very first concert ever was my mother and father taking me to see Him perform in Virginia Beach! I have never been so happy that my mother had the biggest crush on this man.

Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss.
I am terribly sorry for your loss...
Sorry for your loss hold on to all the precious memories. Prayers 🙏 ❤
Never gets old.
That sounds as good as the record. A rare feat in live performance.
Beautiful song, magnificent job by all.
One of the best singer of all time love it.
Such depth of feelings... BRAVO!!
My oldest son was born in 12/1971, I remember listening to this song while in labor! Got me through it😊
I saw him perform this song at THE GREEK THEATER, August 1972, my 1st child was born Sept 1972...indeed, we both loved him perhaps in a similar way! ❤️
Masterpiece, and a great performance.
Best singer songwriter in the universe of all time
And as it happens, some of the greatest songs are half a century old
Song spoke to me as a teenager in '71. And still does.
I am mesmerized watching him sing.
Never could understand this song when i was 12 years old, but now at 58 what can i say more. Thank you Neil for this beautiful song that always makes me melt when i hear.
Me too
That is me I am from Juarez Mexico and I’ve lived in Denver 40 years and it is still not home but neither is Juarez anymore and there is a sense of being lost
He Sang .............They All Listened.
Beyond exceptional.
I was born in New York, moved to New Orleans in 76, this song always felt like my story. Such an amazingly talented man, what a voice.
Hélio i am from Brazil
Feels like a lot of girls songs..he makes my heart swell...i remember back then how i let a true love slip away...found him yrs later he was dying with cancer..all Neil s songs touch me

You listen to this music and the memories are all good. The times were way better than the divisive times today. Somehow, someway we need to get back to those times when politics are irrelevant in our lives.
America produced Jim Reeves,Elvis and Neil diamond with their wonderful voices Manly voices I should say
"Leaving me lonely still..." - Preach the word, Neil.
Neil Diamond is one of the greats! So glad we can watch and listen to him again after all the years he's been performing! This song is one of my favorites of his many wonderful songs. He had it all- beautiful voice, beautiful face, beautiful lyrics !!!
I have always had a crush on Neil. Unfortunately, years later I am still crushing. Wherever you are tonight Neil, I am sending you loads of hugs 🤗 and 😘. Cheers mate..........xxxxxxx
Mesmerizing eyes.... Love you Neil
Beautiful man and beautiful song ❤❤
Deep and beautiful!
What an introspective and passionate song, sung by a commensurate vocal icon! He has so much energy, so much emotion when he performs. 🥰
Consummate.
Lord today’s music absolutely sucks! This confirms that ! Brilliant
amen
i agree amen thank you
He really sings with his heart. 🌹one of my favorite songs. You can feel his pain. God bless you Neil.
Wow his eyes
You are a good looking man. Amazing singer.❤❤❤

Video looks great to be 50 years old. I've been a Neil Diamond fan about that same length of time.
A lot of people I talk to still don’t know he wrote Red Red Wine and I’m a Believer as well- he wrote HITS.
A lot who have watched the movie 'Every Which Way But Loose' don't know he wrote the song 'I Seek The Night' for the soundtrack. It's the first song Sondra Locke sings.

Still listening in 2020! Grüße aus Deutschland! Best singer songwriter of all time!
You still bring healing to the soul.
Got to be one of the great existential angst tunes.
My ❤ melts when I hear this song!!! Ty Neil
1971 I travelled to Manchester with my sister and 2 friends age 14 to see Neil at the odeon...seen him many times since but that was the best❤
One of the great wordsmiths of our time.
I love you Neil Diamond...still
Beautiful song beautiful singer
Best I am I said there is. He put so much of himself into this song in this one.
