Where are my post notification family at???!!!
This song is so deep and says so much in so few words.
I saw Neil live in '72-'73 during his Hot August Night Tour. He stated then that he had tried out for the Lenny Bruce bio pic that went to Dustin Hoffman and while in L.A. and depressed about not getting the role, he wrote this song and debut it during this tour.
Please share some of your poetry with us.💛🇦🇺
Glad you did this song but you gotta listen to recorded version..it’s way better than this version
@goomah35 I like the Hot August Night version, the drums then were amazing.
I saw Mr. Neil Diamond 7 times . And they were the greatest concerts YOU could ever see . The man is the Greatest.Thank you Mr. Diamond.God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to the #thegreatestsingersongwriterofalltime!!! Put your hands together for the One and Only #neildiamond
The Absolutely Fabulous Neil Diamond!! This song always makes me cry!! Love it!!! You should do Love on the rocks!!
Hi JH...new sub here. Great reaction!!! Neil Diamond is one of my all time favs. As for Neil, you can pretty much play his catalog and I will listen and like. My favorite song of his is Sweet Caroline. It's actually my ringtone. As someone who was just starting to pay rent in 1971 when this song was released, I lived in Cali. My first apartment was on Port Hueneme beach and was a new 2 bedroom duplex that had a fenced back yard. When you walked out the back gate, I was about 500 feet from the beach. I paid $97.50 a month so rents were low in Cali then. But you are so right...rent isn't low in Cali anymore.
If you are looking for something new and different to listen to, try a group called Home Free. Home Free is billed as a Country Acapella group (no instruments). They perform any genre there is - not just country. I know you said you like the live instruments, but I guarantee you will not miss the instruments as they have a Champion beatboxer that you will swear swallowed most of the instruments that make up a band including Castanets. Also when needed all 5 members of the group can beatbox. They not only cover many artists, they also write and perform their own music. There are many people who react to Home Free and their fans (we are called Home Fries) flock to their channels to subscribe. If you do decide to check them out, start out with Man of Constant Sorrow and Ring of Fire to get a feel of their voices. Then go directly to their cover of Boyz II Men End of the Road. For their fun side, check out The Butts remix and All about the Bass. I hope you decide to check them out. You won't be sorry!
Been to every Chicago ND concert. Three hours of pure Heaven…no opening acts…no intermissions. He could command the stage…never sat down at one of his concerts. Just came from Boston seeing Beautiful Noise…the play about his life. React to Sweet Caroline,Play Me,America,Song Sung Blue,Melody Road….endless list of amazing hits!
I am lost right now. this hurts but is amazing. Neil Diamond sings from his soul
Hey, I’m looking forward to your rap! Neil Diamond, to me, is one of the best songwriters in America. A lot of people have found that what they are looking for is right in front of them. That’s Diamond, his songs make people think-then think again. God bless all.
It is a song about bring disconnected from family and roots, it doesn't matter how rich or poor we are, where we live, if we don't have connections we experience depression or loneliness, such an amazing song ❤
So glad people are realizing and enjoying the God-given talents of Neil Diamond
He actually wrote this song in 1970, so the rental probably a lot lower in LA back then
NO VIEWS!??? More Neil Diamond please!
That voice!! His handsome face!! Oh my he was and is awesome!!!!
This is a great song from a great song writer. It means so much to so many people in different ways.
I saw Neil Diamond in the 70s in Charlotte; best concert I ever went to. Love, love, love him. He doesn't take shortcuts with the band either, they're as great as he is. Check out one not heard often called "Porcupine Pie."
This was a big hit for him in the late 1960s/early 70s ..... haven't heard it in a while. Glad you chose this one.
This song was my anthem in 1976 @ the age of 25. My life was turned around that year.
Neil is incomparable.
This song always made me cry..It's a very good song..back in my day...
Back in the day he was an absolute banger live. This song could bring my stoic Dad to tears.
Like the man said, we've all been there.
He's one of the few singers that improved with age. The older he gets the better he sings
Even if you don’t get the views, dive into his stuff off channel. Neil Diamond is an amazing talent: amazing voice, lyrics that are emotional and poetic, arrangements that stir the soul, and a passionate, engaging stage presence.
A great, great storyteller.
I'm lost everyday. But then I have been lost since I don't know when. Love music for helping me through the harder times.
Why would you be sure. This is one of my favorite Diamond songs.
Neil Diamond is a legend.
This happens to everyone at some point in our lives. Don't be alone! Talk to someone.
Nailed it super duper beautiful voice we ever heard fantastic❤👏👏
You could do as many of his tunes as you like I will watch them all. Love Neil Dimond. Enjoy
Neil spent many years seeing a psychologist…he NEVER thought he had a good voice. Started writing songs for others to sing,until someone told him hat a unique,amazing voice he had. He has retired after 50 years due to a Parkinson’s diagnosis. His autobiographical play,Beautiful Noise has been on Broadway for over a year,Boston prior to that. He is AHHHHHMAZING!🔥❤️💎
This song was released in 1971.
This particular performance of it is from 1988
I saw him in concert about 1973 in Portland, Oregon. Love this song!!
He is the best! So happy you were WRONG that this one wouldn’t get any views! This performance was in the 80s but the song was a hit by him in the 60s
It definitely sounds like he put his pain to lyrics, and it speaks to so many people. Beautiful song.
He's a powerhouse in his records and in his concerts with many great songs.
Neil was asked why he did not have an intermission during his three hour long concerts. He said he always had a fear that if his audience walked out they might not come back. His insecurities haunted him through most of his life. He is absolutely fantastic,flawless,humble and a legendary singer,songwriter and actor!🔥❤️💎
He is very talented
I think everyone can relate to this song.
I certainly can.
The song is from 1971 and is kind of Neil's signature song. This version is from a TV show. Even if you're a frog who became a king or a superstar in this case, you can feel lost and lonely. Neil Diamond is one of the all-time greatest. He sold about 135 million albums and sold out huge arenas and stadiums around the world. His songs were covered by Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash and many others. You probably know the monster hits I'm a Believer and Red Red Wine, both written by Neil Diamond. If you plan to react to other songs, he has a huge catalogue to choose from: Solitary Man, Brooklyn Roads, Soolaimon, Stones, Holly Holy, Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show, Dry Your Eyes, Beautiful Noise, America, Pretty Amazing Grace... He was the oldest artist in the USA to reach the #1 spot of the album charts with Home Before Dark in 2008 (which also topped the UK album charts), which proves he kept writing great songs throughout his long career.
Another Neil Diamond standard at his shows is He ain’t Heavy, He’s my brother. Which he didn’t write, but he covered wonderfully, one of my favorite versions. 👍🏻
His cover of Both Sides Now
I’m watching now. Neil Diamond is a true American treasure, and he was huge. He wrote it in the early 70s. To answer your question, yes I have like this at times - especially in the Winter. Even as a young child, I would cry when this came on the radio. As I got older, I can identify, but this is so sad to me. For me, personally, when I feel like this, I know that I need to just stay in prayer and in an attitude of prayer.
About 20 years ago, my boss said his wife surprised him with concert tickets on their anniversary. Neil Diamond, he was less than impressed. Ended up saying it was the best concert he had ever been to.
I had a girlfriend who went to one of his concerts and she talked about it for days - it floored her.
I hear ya. It seems the girls know something good when they hear it. At least the good girls. My gf took me to a N.D. concert in the 1990's. I had heard his music on the radio since the sixties coming up and liked him but, trying to be cool, would only buy rock albums. That concert made a fan of me.
She passed away several years ago and since then I've been listening to Mr. Diamond more and more. Now I think he's just about the best ever. Crying as I miss her ...
He wrote this in 1968 (Not 88) a very early released song in 1970 but this video version is 20 years later at a concert in 1988. all good songs from his song writing.
Love Neil! Love his movie " The Jazz Singer"
Don't underestimate the draw of Neil Diamond. He's a pop culture star -- whether a true love for his music or ironically.
Not even his therapist (The Chair) was listening. Talking about the emptiness he feels inside and how alone he feels. Though he has all the riches and fame and fills up stadiums, while making millions. The two entertainment capitals of the world Los Angeles California and New York City feels empty to him and leaves him feeling even more alone. While all the while saying to himself "I Am I Said." I exist... I am here... I am alive... Please see me!. A cry for help..."I Never Cared For The Sound Of Being Alone." -Neil Diamond
Even as a young child, I would cry when this came on the radio. As I got older, I can identify, but this is so sad to me. For me, personally, when I feel like this, I know that I need to just stay in prayer and in an attitude of prayer.
You totally described what the song was really about
@@Tuesdays_Gone So do I. I am a loner by nature. And I do understand what Neil Diamond was going through. I can be a a party or large gathering, and still feel empty inside while I act as though I'm having a good time. That is why I relate to most of his songs when he talks about loneliness.
@@elieengoslin3623 As a Neil Diamond fan since 1965. When listening to this song as a child. I did not understand the lyrics then. As I became an adult and have had issues myself on being a loner. I recognized what Neil was singing about. I have gone through the same thing as he did but without the fame and fortune. Thank you for your response to my comment.
Saw Neil in Pgh in the 70’s… right after release of the album Beautiful Noise. He is a gifted poet who happens to sing and play guitar - beautifully! Also…he will put a bit different spin on a song so each time it might be a little different or a little more fresh. Glad I saw him in his prime, but his voice is still resonant and moving.
This song was released in 1971 ,it's about wanting to be accepted he was a loner when he was growing up. He wanted to feel like he belonged .then he was the frog who became a king.listen to the studio version.
Dude this guy was the best singer of the singer songwriters. He is a genius. Try and review some his earlier UA-cam videos from the 70s, he was a megastar then. “Brother Loves Travelling Salvation Show” (Once upon a time in America). “Red Red Wine” (UB40 covered his song). “Girl you’ll be a woman soon” (Pulp Fiction). “I’m a Believer”. “I’ve been this way before”.
Neil's two outstanding qualities as a songwriter-and yes-he is a helluva singer- are he can write DEEP lyrics and while generally not using especially complicated chord progressions make every song sound unigue simply by his rythym. He could p;lay the same four chords in so many different ways every time it would sound unigue.
I love Neil Diamond. I've loved him for 50+ years. That's faithfulness for you❣️
His vocal is very recognizable and pleasant just like James Taylor, Nat King Cole and the like. What it allows is one to actually hear the song-the lyrics/melody and not just the voice. Some artists tear it up vocally but at the cost of the song.
You should have seen him live and at his peak . He was absolutely electric . I still get goose bumps remembering when he came to Sydney 21 yrs ago . I am 52 in December and I’ve been to many concerts and his is the one that I still go back to in my mind xoxox
He wrote this and many songs in the late 60s and 70s....I wore out a tape of his...so many heartfelt songs....
I Love Neil Diamond 💎 ♥
Neil Diamond was a huge star 60’s 70’s 80’s His songs very popular. Sweet Caroline is a favourite ❣️
For live performers check out Creedence Clearwater Revival,lead vocals John Fogerty will blow you away! Three Dog Night another fantastic band of the 60’s 70’s are so good at live concerts check them doing an Otis Redding big big hit ‘Try A Little Tenderness’ it is amazing💫☮️💜
this is my favorite from Neil Diamond. It says so much in simple words. I'm from the Bronx and live in Texas. I know exactly what he felt..
Neil Diamond is timeless.
Still love hearing that voice..
I think at one time or another, we've all felt that kind of loneliness.
Neil's friend and drummer just passed away. Ron started with Elvis.
R.I.P. Ron Tutt. 💗
1972 Hot August Night, The album that I discovered Neil Diamond. Solitary Man was his first big hit in the 60's that started his career and made him famous. He wrote songs for many other artists as well. He only recently stopped touring as he has developed parkinsons disease and has had to stop touring. He is still writing music tho.
This guy is a legend! You just can't beat a songwriter performing their own stuff. The extra feels they give! Thanks for the reaction. I know views are important to reactors, but thanks for not going down the 'usuals' channel!
A Neil Diamond fan since 1966 always been my favourite solo singer..
I live in Charleston, South Carolina. My coworker called me after work one day and said she had front row seats to ND At the North Charleston Coliseum. She asked if I wanted them so I said heck yeah! It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to in my life!
LadyGator1983; Noel Diamond knew how to put on a awesome concert!! His concerts rocked! He always went all out for his fans! 👍🔥
My mom is named Caroline so all ND fans will know what song is my dad’s fav.
I can confirm that she is one sweet lady
Would it be Shiloh lol
Awwww. "Sweet Caroline"
💗💗😉💗💗
Hey man, this guy was a massive star. A poet with a unique voice and delivery. He is quite old now. When I was a kid, his voice was just comforting. I adore this man and the thought of him leaving us is heart breaking!
In the 60's through 1970's there were a plethora of great Jewish singer/songwriters.
He was as famous as anyone could be.
The masses loved him.
He and Ralph Lauren/Polo were friends and and they always sat together when they attended religious services
at the Synagogue.
The Jewish people were the greatest supporters of the blacks during those turbulent times.
He and many others were on the roads in the south trying to fight on behalf of the blacks.
He ended up at a Mississippi Tent Revival for a black congregation.
He wrote a song titled. Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show.
It affected him an a strong way.
He has so many famous songs it is hard to choose one,
Interesting.
Enjoyed!! Neil Diamond was a unique one. I didn't listen to him alot but he was one of the greats of that time.
Lol I grew up on this, my dad played his records endlessly :)
He wrote this in 1970. Especially compared to New York City where he's from, rents were very low in LA LOL
Neil is great...he wrote more hits for other artist, including his own career! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a teenager in the 70's I was an oddity because I really liked Neil Diamond. His voice always got to me. One of the very few male vocalists I liked - Freddy Mercury being the main one. Johnathon Livingston Seagull was my music to space out to! That voice.....
The Great Neil Diamond. Puts on a great live show....
My favorite ND song is Cracklin Rose--it's this wonderful love song to a bottle of cheap wine.
Neil Diamond has a perfect voice.
"You Got To Me"
is one of his that's a great instant mood booster.
☺✌💙
Wow is right
I feel lost because I don’t recognize our Country anymore; my Brooklyn neighborhood that I grew up in-the people are all gone; I feel. By the way, Neil Diamond is a Brooklyn Boy ❤️
Neil said after this song hit it big,he began receiving frogs with crowns. He has a room full of them,called the frogatorium. He joked and said his next song would be about Rolls Royces!🔥❤️💎
Childhood can be an intensely lonely time. My dad dragged my family from San Diego to Los Angeles back in 1970. He left us there. I was friendless and miserable. Even at home I felt like an outsider. This song resonates with me in a very personal way. When loneliness is so devastating that you have to affirm your own existence, and no one hears, you know what true loneliness is. Niel says so much in so few years. Genius.
first heard this when i was about 19 and had broken up with my boyfriend -- went driving through the park and heard this on my radio and it set my mind back on the right track -- no matter anyone else i am and i am important -- that is what the song meant to me thank you for the reaction smiles and love
I love Neil Diamond. I "learned" about him when I was in Texas at 16. My first NEIL song was "FOREVER IN BLUE JEANS".
This takes me back! So many great songs from him... Thanks for this! 🤗❤️
Thanks for the reaction. As for the rents being low, he was probably correct. They might not have been low in 1988, but the song wasn't written then, just performed then. The song was released, I believe in 1971. He wrote it probably that year or the year before that.
Yes. I felt this way in younger years when “on paper” I should have been ecstatic.
Thank you for doing that! Please more Neil Diamond. Yes, I certainly feel lost at times but God redirects me and leads me in my faith. Please do Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show, Holly Holy, America, oh a good one is You Don’t Bring Me Flowers with ND and Barbara Streisand 💕good duet! And YES I’d love to hear your poetry, rapping, etc! That would be amazing!
Love this song! My favorite gets very little attention - Once in a While. His concerts at the old Chicago Stadium were 3-night sellouts.
I love Neil Diamond's music more the older I get.
Neil is great and always loved this song
My mom took me to "Hot August Night" at the Greek in '72. I was 10 & had a blast.
Oh yea Niel Diamond can SING!
I so can feel this song right now. I too throughout my life have written poetry and such. Writing is my outlet when I'm feeling down. Living and living through alot of loss of loved ones etc. can hit hard some days so I really get this song.
If it weren't for music that gets me past many a day who knows where I'd be about now🤘🏼🎵🙏🙏🙏💪
Love Neil Diamond. Will come back for more. If you like live Rock'n'Roll try John Farnham( Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra or You're the Voice, Touch of Paradise)or Jimmy Barnes solo,(Working class man, Flame Trees) or with Cold Chisel Khe Sahn, Bow River or When the War is Over. Or When something is wrong with my baby by both John & Jimmy (with Diesel). They are Australian legends and well worth the listen. John is best live.
Thanks for checking out something outside of the norm. Love ya man. Good job
One of the best song writers of that time.
Saw the name of the video, so i came.
The rents in California were low because the song is from 50 years ago😊
Damn. I mean, I knew objectively that this song was 5 years older than I am, but putting it like that, that it's 50 years old, really puts it into perspective. And other than the low rent in L.A., this song is every bit as relevant to people's lives and experiences now as it was back then. Pretty timeless.
Rent's so low, he was talking the 60's bro. 😂 Neil Diamond = LEGEND
He was always a guy I thought I wouldn't care for, but I always seem to know and like his songs, if that makes any sense.
(He wrote Red, Red Wine, made big by UB40...RIP Brian Travers)
One of His best songs. I love live too!!
Totally Lost. Feel my soul has died.
Husband was job transferred to Ohio. Leaving our Texas. This song hits me hard now.
HI there! Good luck with this channel. I appreciate your fresh take on this classic music from my childhood! And you're right - rents are NOT low. LOL. Music is not about feelings. Music is about co-creating an imaginary space where people can exist of and for themselves for a time. When it's good music, they want to create and share that space so others can be there too. Welcome to the space of "I am!" We all know it's in there. Sharing it through music is epic.
His voice is amazing!! Check out Sweet Caroline byNeil ! 😁
Neil Diamond is claaass
AS A STROKE SURVIVOR I FEEL LONELY LOTS FOR NO REASON BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS
To answer your question about ever feeling alone, yes. Lost and alone for sure. In 2018, I lost my mother to pancreatic cancer in March and then I lost my daddy to cancer in August. I have Multiple Sclerosis and I inherited the house, which I’m very thankful for. Now that our parents are gone, life just isn’t the same anymore. The family has kind of gone their separate ways. I live life one day at a time, which is a good thing. However, there are those days where I just don’t get it.
Try Morningside, Cold Water Morning Sfsrgazer...this man is a genius and he writes his songs too.
Thanks, loved his songs since they first came out. My understanding the orchestra you hear in the background was his. He always wanted the full sound. They said he was crazy to do that on tour but it worked, good for him.
