For me, both Dear Father and Be are inspired, sacred even. They speak of the soul's experience, the profundity multi-dimensional expanse and miraculous texture of the human experience, love, desire, learning, feeling, joy, sadness, pleasure, pain and sorrow and loss. "While we may" acknowledges that our time here is finite. He uses the words "may" and "if" in Be, with the subtle knowing that life's experiences are different for each, AND we share "universal" commonalities as mortal beings. All this regularly touches me when I hear these masterpieces and my soul swells and cries in some sort of tender empathy for myself and the world; for any and all who might be similarly moved and understand and have compassion for others. And Neil Diamond does it with a brevity I don't have, but with a profound and resonant voice that reaches deeply and touches my SOUL.💞
We are all God's creation. Even the birds of the skies are the Heavenly Fathers creations. And just as loved as we. I will always be waiting for our Heavenly Fathers arrival. God bless you all. Neil Diamond is my favorite singer/songwriter of all times. Just beautiful.

This beautiful song brings back wonderful memory of traveling over night with our young children.We arrived at our destination when the Sun was Rising !
My father gave me this book to read when I was about 9 years old. At the time, I just thought it was a cute book about a "talking" seagull. I've since re-read it about 100 times and I get something different from it every time. The author, Richard Bach, was a pilot....and several years after my dad passed away, I studied and flew to become a pilot myself! I walked myself down the aisle to my own wedding to this song, in honour of my dad. Ironically, my husband dumped me for another lady pilot. Stiff shit. This song means the world to me. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for telling your story and your feedback. - ! Oh yes, sometimes things happen in life,- stiff shit. I wish, that in your life in connection with this song many more beautiful things and moments happen!
My father also gave me this book to read at about same age...I’ve re-read also...and have passed it on to my children and grandchildren🙏 such a beautiful parable...so much meaning behind the story...my father passed a year ago in October, 2018...this is a beautiful tribute to remind us...that we are capable of anything we wish to be, do, or have...If we “Believe it” then...So It Is! Thank you for this...warmed me like a hug from my Dad...from the inside out! 🙏 May Joy, Love and Peace be yours! 🌟💞☮️
The movie "Johnathan Livingston Seagull" is a film of rare beauty, felt by people with special culture qualities; to this is added the soundtrack of the movie that is a "sonorous jewel" made by one of the most "big voices" in the world ... NEIL DIAMOND ... after listening to the gorgeous pieces of fim you have to stay for a while hours alone living the ecstasy you feel .... I do not have superlatives to congratulate this movie with his dream music ...
@@nicolaemarian7009 I was a Sailor at this time. After work at 4am you seat at the back of the ship, crossing the ocean and listen to the music of Neil Diamond on a Cassette Recorder and watch the sunrise it touch you deep and feel you're just a small piece on this wonderful planet earth. Nowaday a lot of people have forgotten our creator of this planet. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of music
It is a book and a song that has had deep meaning to many persons...the words of the song repeatly come...at the oddest of moments...to this day. Read early in my youth...it only made complete sense...after l experienced a flight from Paris to Shanghai. 'We'...all...matter.

It's my pleasure. This song is one of those compositions and performances that is inspirational. To forge the genius of Jonathan Livingstone and Neil Diamond together after the book was released was something of a unique blessing. Both are perfectly suited. Jonathan would have approved. I do not know why these pieces are not greater known, or talked about, they are less commercial but by far his best, and some of the the most profound pieces of music ever written. Let's just call us the lucky ones.
Simple and beautiful...With just a few lines Neil takes us on a journey to search ourselves and ask the question. Why do we need? And why do we wait? Brilliant!
I lost my father when I was only 26 years old. I still wanted to ask him so many questions. I have missed him ever since, even being 65 years old now. Nevertheless, thanks Dad for everything you ever did for me and taught me. They made me the man I am now.
This song like a lot of Neil's songs are so beautiful!!! It makes me cry because it makes me think of my dad and I's relationship. I wish he was more in my life. He's not a bad person he just made stupid decisions. I don't even know if my dad is alive or not :((((. I last heard from him in 2014.
Hi Robin. It's a sad story you're telling. For many people, this song reflects a kind of mirror to their parents. Some beautiful, some painful. All the best for you and thanks for your comment. Greetings Doparminos

I remember watching this with my dad! He has since moved on. Wow, I got chills. Thank you
"Dear Father we dream..." has been a motto of mine for over 50 years
After all these years, still magic
Neil Diamond wrote and sang great songs and music. But Jonathan Livingstone Seagull's songs are, for me his master piece.
And Dear Father is the best!

Jonathan Livingston Seagull
I love this song. It talks about a believer's journey and being humbled by the splendor of God as he waits upon Him. Very moving.
This song is prayer, pure and simple. We reach out, and sometimes He sheds light. He is also present in the darkness.
He is indeed present there
Still magic after so many years
my father 9/15/79 and my Heavenly Father always with me
Neil Diamond, the poet musician, he sings, he writes, he touches the soul like no other can. You are the best Neil
Eduardo Garcia ... Absolutely!!! A voice of an angel. My father loved Neil ... RIP father ( my dad )
mir kommen immer die Tränen, wenn ich diese wunderschöne Musik höre

Toute notre vérité devrait être laissée seule
Être laissée seule

Pris les chances que tu avais soufflés
Et à ce jour, celui-ci et seul,
Tu restes un parfait inconnu
Parfait inconnu

Tu es quelque part dehors,
Mais je ne sais pas si tu t'inquiètes, pas du tout,
Il semble que tu ne t'en fais pas
Et depuis ce jour ne viendra jamais,
Donc tu restes un parfait inconnu
Tant d'années ont été ignorées,
Tu es parti sans laisser de traces
Je m'habitue vous connaissant juste un nom sans visage
Sans visage
Sans visage
Tu es quelque part dehors,
Mais je ne sais pas si tu t'inquiètes, pas du tout,
Il semble que tu ne t'en fais pas
