So sorry for your loss - it is a beautiful tribute. My guitar teacher was a Neil Diamond tribute act played it and sang it to me. I broke down sobbing in his shop and did not care. The words and the tune are soulful.
I fell head over heels in love with Neil diamond at the age of 12 years old. I understood where he was coming from in his music and I wrote him a letter back in 1976. I took a chance and posted it to a fan club and 2 months later I got a personal autographed photo and letter back from him. Telling me how he started out with the song " I'm a believer". That's when I sold my piano for a guitar and taught myself to play guitar in 6 weeks. I sent him a demo home recording tape, singing I'm a believer with my brother backing vocals with me. 3+ months later I received an album that was autographed again by Neil diamond. The album was " Hot August night" 1972. I was over the moon about it. Neil and I kept up our contact for many years after that. Once a year we would send each other voice recordings on tape telling each other what happened through out the year. However as life changed my contact with Neil grew less and less. But I will never forget him nor his music. Today I am 60 years old and now my children who are between 37, 35 and 27. Listen to that same Hot August night I kept for all these years. ❤
@@perezbaraquio6273 I just checked out your page, you seem older than I am, with a good taste of music I've categorized as Evergreen Classics. Are you Spanish?
This was played at my dads funeral as we went into the church, that was July 2020, I still find it difficult yet comforting to listen to in January 2021.
That composer was Neil himself. He was a staff writer along with the likes of Carole King, and like her, started to sing his own songs. This is a beautiful song that makes me cry every time I hear it. Thanks to the uploader
I was in high school when this song hit the air waves. I fell in love with it then, I am still in love with it today. I will soon be 65. It is timeless and beautiful, Mr. Diamond has touched many hearts thru his music. Amazing!
Mine and my wife’s song. We’re complete opposites that could not exist without each other so it’s pretty fitting. I even had the words “play me” inscribed on her engagement ring. Love this song.
Of all the romantic songs that have come from Neil Diamond, "Play Me" is still #1 for me. I was only 16 years old when I first heard it and it pulled at my heartstrings then and still does today ⚘
When you look at Neil's body of work. The fact he wrote the songs. That iconic voice. His performances live. Just the brilliance of his songs. Legendary songs. He HAS to be considered one of the top 3 or 4 artists ever. Has to be.
I heard this at a funeral about 7 years ago and I thought it was such a beautiful but couldn’t find it. I bought a Neil Diamond cd for Christmas and as soon as I heard it this morning it took me right back to that funeral. You know it’s a powerful song when it can transport you to somewhere else in town!
This is too one of my #1 favorites of Neil Diamond. One of the best times traveling with my late wife of 28 years. Music is a powerful way of expressing our emotions. And this one became our song together. I lost her in 2013. Now 6 years later I still listen to this masterpiece when I think I’m strong and can make it through to the end but I find myself rocked to my knees in pain and tears wanting those times when we both listen to it together. She was definitely my soulmate. My best friend. I do find some peace and tranquility when I listen to Play Me even though it’s tough Our only son who is now 17 remembers his mother’s love of this song and shares the same appreciation for great artists like Neil Diamond has master the acoustic guitar version of this great masterpiece. Who I am so thankful to God Almighty for blessing me with such a great son who I now live for each day. God bless you Neil Diamond. Your a fantastic artist
All My Life, I was searching, until one day, met My Beautiful Wife of 15 yrs., and low and behold, this song says it all, this song was and still is considered "Our Song". Te Queiro Mucho Mi Amor y Mi Reyna
This makes chills go up my arms i love this song of Neil Diamond , He has a wonderful voice and i can't just listen to it once i will play it over and over again :) God Bless You !!! 😇😇
Same here...this song was played at the funeral of my dear mother....her song...now after she is gone...it is so different...the only song that i can cry instantly when i hear it...i hope that they can r.i.p.
Jos Smolders Played this song at my dads funeral too, he was a huge Neil Diamond fan so I can relate to how you feel. I’ll never forget walking into the church as this was playing 😢
Who's listening in 2019? EDIT: thank you guys for all of the likes I really appreciate it! The people who still listen to this song today are Worries and fighters! I believe you all have something unique in common 😉!
Loving this song regardless of the worrisome times the world is facing today 9th of April...hold someone you love and reassure yourself covid-19 will pass.........
I heard this song back in the late 1970s on 8 track tape. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever composed. Neil Diamond is a genius. Beautiful lyrics. Amazon voice. The song shows the love heart and compassion created by Neil. The second most beautiful song ever wrote is “waiting for a girl like you “. By Foreigner.
Thinking of my deceased mother. I have this song on repeat. It's been 2 hrs over and over. Holding the tears as I miss her so much. I have questions and Shes not here to answer them.
It makes me feel hopeful because I am looking for my soulmate and the words strike home for me. I so much want to express myself to her and she to m. I want to speak those words about the sun and the moon and the words and the tune. I want to sing to her and tell her how wonderful she is 💗❤️♥️ and how much I love her and cherish every moment with her. I'm a hopeless and need someone to romance.♥️😎
One of my favorites my days ❤️ 💕 starts with this song in my kitchen drinking my cup of coffee n watching the traffic n ending the night watching at the sky drinking my cup of tea
That guitar is EVERYTHING!!!! Oh hiw I love this song. So loving, sensual, caring. The violins in the chorus is like a tender touch on 'sun', 'moon', 'word', 'tune', OO, so romantic.
Neil Diamond is always so powerful with his words, music, feelings and performer! Future generations shall come and shall listening "per secula seculorum."
All of his songs and acting were gifts from someplace you have to slow down to hear. I mean really hear like you can tastes the notes and the subtle intonation in his voice is unforgettable l know for me.
this was played at my grans funeral 7th of may 2020 she died of cancer that went to her bones and she passed away 29th of april 2020 and she was diagnosed with cancer on 19th april 2020 so this is a very emotional song to me and to many people xx
@@mike5661 Sorry for the passing of your Dad Mike. I hope you are doing well during this difficult time. My Mom passed too from dementia 2 years ago I miss Her dearly. Stay safe and healthy. God bless.
Thank you all for the support on this lyric video! It’s crazy how much impact this song has. I am currently a senior in high school. My dad played this song for my sister and I when we were just little, and it has been close to my heart ever since. Hope everyone has a blessed day. :-) Edit: I am now in my 3rd year of college and I am glad this lyric video is still going strong!

I love Neil Diamond 💍😉😉
My wife and I loved and lived through Neil Diamond's songs and after 52-years together, he remains a part of us through his music.
This song was played at my dads funeral. My dad was my world and my parents were together since 17 I love you Dad
OMG he sounds like a good guy
This was played at my dads funeral as we went into the church, that was July 2020, I still find it difficult yet comforting to listen to in January 2021.
So touching...thank you for sharing. Your Dad is blessed to have a daughter that loved and honored him so.
😢😢😢
I also remember my father on this one
He used to play cassette whit this neil diamond's beautiful song😢😢
You just don’t hear artist like this anymore. I miss it.
So true. I love sentimental music and lyrics ❤️
Truth!
Incredible! I’m 72 years and just now fully appreciating this wonderfully moving work of art
I'm 87,and still listening, Neil is one of a Kind.
Same here, I sent it to my wife of 51 years, every year gets so precious to us, these words mean more now than ever
Likewise my friend, it's AWESOME & TIMELESS! Gr8 music 🎶 🎵 NEVER gets old!!😊
This song was deeply felt by the composer. And it fused with the writers' genius. It is a rarity. Timeless
That composer was Neil himself. He was a staff writer along with the likes of Carole King, and like her, started to sing his own songs. This is a beautiful song that makes me cry every time I hear it. Thanks to the uploader

I understand Mr. Diamond is not everyone's cup of tea but the cat sure can paint a picture...can't he?
A true Songwright.
one hip Jew.plays w such joy.
Even if there was no lyrics and this song was played by the orchestra it would still bring me to tears...
I play in a progressive rock band and everyone in it has mad respect for Neil Dimond. Great song's are great song's no matter what style.
Time doesn't heal anything it just teaches us to live with the pain
Interesting perspective, thank you for sharing
Very well put - thank-you for your insight.
You're oh so right! Bless you.
We have no choice.
Well said.
2024 still listening to master pieces such as this song😊
OMG. Forgot how beautiful this tune is. When Neil was on, he was really on
Mine and my wife’s song. We’re complete opposites that could not exist without each other so it’s pretty fitting. I even had the words “play me” inscribed on her engagement ring. Love this song.
That's beautiful.
That’s so beautiful.
True love. God Bless you both
My girl and I are so opposite but hopeful.
My papa who is 66 years old suggested me this song today. I am so happy. Grateful 🙏
Of all the romantic songs that have come from Neil Diamond, "Play Me" is still #1 for me. I was only 16 years old when I first heard it and it pulled at my heartstrings then and still does today ⚘
Hope you found that romance 🙏🦋🌴
When you look at Neil's body of work. The fact he wrote the songs.

Just the brilliance of his songs. Legendary songs.
He HAS to be considered one of the top 3 or 4 artists ever. Has to be.
this reminds me of my grandma june when she sang this in the car since then she passed away and even though i miss her i still love her

Such honesty and emotion in his voice. I think Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues is another great example of this quality.
Beautiful song from a great singer and songwriter, and what a handsome man still to this day.
