    I just listened to this song five times in a row and cried until i wanted to die. I miss my deceased soul mate, my wife my childrens mother. We enjoyed this song when we dated back in the late eighties and nineties.
    Shes gone now and my children are estranged drom me so it hurts and hurts bad but i love this nostalgic piece from neil diamond as i love all of his music and voice OMG. God help me!

    This man should be considered the 20th Century's Poet of Poets! This song is a fine example of why. His lyrics are beautiful and convey so much meaning beyond their mere surface use. He paints word pictures, tells stories, and sings about things everyone can relate to. His fearlessness in vulnerability is brave and he has given us so many incredible songs over so many decades. What an amazing artist! This is among my favorite Neil Diamond songs of all-time. It's so beautiful.

    Considering the three songs you've done so far, if you'd like to hear something more uptempo from Neil, he's got those too: 'Cherry, Cherry' 'Kentucky Woman', 'Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show', 'Cracklin' Rosie', 'I'm a Believer.'

    I was a rock and roll heavy music type of dude who paid hardly any attention to Composer/Songster Diamond. Decades later, and I mean decades, I discovered him again. He was and is the real thing. Who can write and sing like this? Very few. He was going to be a doctor but told his father he felt songwriting and singing in his blood and went that way. The rest is history.

    He is to me Americas greatest singer/songwriter. The man (Neil Diamond) has over 100 top 40 hits he composed. That in itself is extraordinary. He is an American Icon. There is now a Broadway Musical about his life and his music. It is playing on the Broadway Musical Theater in New York City now. Great reaction to one of the greats of all times. Priceless!

    When this song was popular on the radio, I was working at a radio station. A lady called the station and told me the lyrics and wanted to know the name of the song and the singer. I told her and she told me her dad was in a hospice center, near death, and as she was sitting at his bedside this song came on a radio playing softly nearby. She said he responded for the first time in hours by opening his eyes, looking at her, and smiling. When the song ended, he drifted back out and passed the next morning.

    I grew up hearing Neil diamond all the time so it does have a special place for me. It was actually the first concert I took my wife to before we were married and we will be celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary and a couple of weeks... Great story and memories we have from attending this concert... We were definitely the youngest ones in the crowd... She was 19 and I was 24...

    of growing up. My best friend lived right behind me so we would just hop the fence & we'll be at each other's house. Anyways, as soon as i hopped the fence, all i hear is Neil Diamond's songs. "Play Me, Sweet Caroline, I Am.....I Said, Song Sung Blue & others" Her mom had only 3 different singers that i hear playing her records too & of course, that's right, VINYL RECORDS people!!!!! Great time of my life!!! ❤❤❤

    Great reaction. Neil said many years ago that music should make you feel something.After listening to you two talk about how this song made you feel, I would say Neil nailed it. Now grab a bottle of wine, two glasses, go outside and light that fire pit. Thanks again for that wonderful reaction.

    When you dig down to the bottom of this, accepting all of life (and for many, it may have the lure of a relationship), it begins by luring anyone into what was laying beside him.
    It was the music. Relationships are important, instruments are important, but can be changed with the artist's will, but the music will take you. Way more than a love song.
    Very, VERY VERY deep.
    It is the eternal language understood by all ... and it always will be. You don't need to speak a particular language, it still moves you. It haunts you. It springs up like new flowers in springtime, with a new glow for your next encounter.
    Love, war, pain, religion, joy, creativity, anger, new surprises always ... all of it is in the music.

    One of the greatest lyracist musicians ever. You really want to be moved... listen to "You Don't Bring Me Flowers"...an incredible duet with Barbra Streisand that Neil cowrote with Marilyn & Alan Bergman. Neil and Barbra btw, were high school classmates and sang in the same choir together. There's a fantastic live version which I highly recommend; they performed this song together at the 1980 Grammy Awards and it's been one of Grammys' most memorable moments ever since, especially when you consider the audience had no idea they were going to be there, and that Barbra and Neil literally only rehearsed it over the phone a couple of hours before the show.

    You need to go down the Neil Diamond rabbit hole: "Forever in Blue Jeans", "Turn on your Nightlight" (about ET), "Holly Holy" (live on the Ed Sullivan show), "Solitary Man", and "Hello Again", "Summerlove", "Songs of Life" and "America" (all 4 from the movie the "Jazz Singer") of which Neil Diamond acted in. You should react to the movie, it was great. Neil now has Parkinson's disease. x

    I'm not an expert on music theory by any means but to me this song sounds like it is in the relative minor key of B rather than D major even though it never goes to a B minor chord or any minor chord at all! It definitely has a minor sound to it despite no minor chords. Would love to hear comment from anybody who might have theory knowledge. Absolutely beautiful song despite the simple chord structure.

      Very, very sadly, Alice, Neil was actually diagnosed with ‘Parkinson’s’ disease in 2017 - not ‘dementia’.
      I became aware that something was not ‘all well’ with Neil ( as a concert attendee in Glasgow on July 2nd, 2011 ) and again in 2015, until my last concert of Neil’s (also in Glasgow) on October 3rd 2017. His movement’s were maligned … but his voice was still, uniquely his own .
