      Beautiful Karen.
      My name is James, I’m 58 & my dad played John Denver, Jim Reeves & Neil
      Diamond in our house when we were kids in the 1970’s. My brother and I still play those records til this day. My 23 year old daughter is a huge Neil Diamond fan now too.
      My beautiful wife worked with major record companies in the 1980’s & 1990’s here in Australia, and still says to this day that Neil Diamond was the most gentle respectful artist she ever had the pleasure to work with.
      I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but for pure unadulterated nostalgia the music of Neil Diamond will always be king.
      You could listen to any number of his songs for the very first time & they’d automatically be among your favourite songs of all time.
      God bless, sending love to you and your family.

      This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our hearts..

One was 1982, and one was 1996. Mom took all us kids to the 1982 concert, and Mom kept the ticket stubs in the brochures. A good memory of a great time. Thanks again for the condolences.

      Yes, it really is amazing. Some songs are linked to their decade. This song is looking for meaning in life. I think songs exploring such fundamentals can last forever. I bet people will "discover" this song in 30 or 50 years after Neil has passed, and they will play it then too. People who never were alive when Neil was alive.

      If I may, been there, and would like to recommend the treatment that worked, look up Hardy Nutritionals, call them, they'll help with the taking of these supplements to get you to the emotionally normal ups and downs, took me about 2+ years adding a supplement every 6 months or so, would recommend you work with your doctor to wean off medications as you get your body and brain nourished. Could take only a few months if you take the 3-4 supplements together right from the start.
      Please read and watch the testimonials of those helped.
      Took me many years to finally admit my problem was chronic, and to believe that something could make a difference. And it did.

    I have seen 28 Neil Diamond concerts. Now before you call me crazy or stupid I will say the time period was from the middle 1970s to my last concert in Milwaukee in 2012.
    At a concert in Milwukee, I would say around 2008, my wife and I were sitting quietly waiting for the concert to start. About 10 minutes before the first song (Holly Holy) I got to talking to the woman next to me. I asked her if she had ever been to a Neil Diamond concert. She said no.
    When I told her I had been to - at that time it was about 24 concerts - she actually said "Oh, that's sick."
    I said nothing. After Holly Holy I turned to her and said "Do you still think I'm sick?" With the biggest smile I have ever seen on another person's face she said as enthusiastically as possible "Oh no!'
    Enough said.

      @@larryhamsing4140 It’s interesting that you have been to so many NeilD concerts. Amazing number (although I have been to 21 Monte Carlo Grand Prix motor racing events over the years; my great-grandfather was world motorcycle dirt track speedway champion in the 20s). I went to one NeilD concert in 1989 in London (I took my grandmother) and then in late 2014 in London again with my elderly parents. Definitely ‘I Am A Said’ is my favourite My second would be Last Thing On MY Mind (although I know it was written by Tom Paxton or Neil Sedaka, I can never remember which one). That song is to be played at my funeral. I was born in 1968 in UK (now a tax lawyer in London, England) . I remember in 1974 at the age of 6, being in my Dad’s car with him listening to NeilD on his 8-track tape system (it was a yellow Ford Cortina) on the way to the coast for a 2 week holiday in a rented beach house. My parents loved it so much that they bought that house. I now go there to the same family beach house with my own 6 year old son in a 1964 Jaguar E Type with the same NeilD songs playing off the CD. I am also extremely fond of Porcupine Pie (gloves on or your hands turning green !). When I said EP, I meant Elvis Presley. It was really just a question out of interest as to whether you were an Elvis fan in the early 70s. I am an Elvis fan too, but NeilD remains my favourite artists who is still alive. Funnily enough my 2 favourite EP performances are Polk Salad Annie and American Trilogy. Has NeilD ever sung American Trilogy in live concert ? I’m a ND fan, not an expert. I never understood why Neil allowed the Monkees to commercialize ‘I’m A Believer’ once Neil wrote it. The Monkees version was released first in the UK although Neil’s studio version was recorded first I believe. One thing I love about ND is that he got to be worth 400 million dollars and then split up with wife Marcia and gave her 200 million of it. They stayed friends. Neil then took less than 12 years to be have net worth of 400 million once again. Nice to exchange replies with you over a common music interest.

    This song reminds me when I was 15 years old, that I found out my mom had a affair on my father I lived with. That's how I was born,and it came out one day when I had a argument with my dad, that I thought was my dad. My dad told me, when he was drunk. My half bothers knew all along, and called me bastard, and and beat me so many times sensely. Once I found out, I was in shock, I stayed in school another year, skipped a graduate from school, and I ran away for two years. The lyrics to this song, remind me of back then. I forgave what was done to me. My two half brothers are both dead now, also my mom. I forgave, but never forgot it. I went on to love, trust people, all my life. I have a kind heart, honest person, but this song reminds me.

    His songs tell stories that we can relate to. Real music. It does not get much better than Neil Diamond.

    L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
    And the feeling is "lay back"
    Palm trees grow and rents are low
    But you know I keep thinkin' about
    Making my way back
    Well I'm New York City born and raised
    But nowadays
    I'm lost between two shores
    L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
    New York's home
    But it ain't mine no more
    "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
    And I am lost and I can't
    Even say why
    Leavin' me lonely still
    Did you ever read about a frog
    Who dreamed of bein' a king
    And then became one
    Well except for the names
    And a few other changes
    If you talk about me
    The story is the same one
    But I got an emptiness deep inside
    And I've tried
    But it won't let me go
    And I'm not a man who likes to swear
    But I never cared
    For the sound of being alone
    "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
    And I am lost and I can't
    Even say why
    "I am"... I said
    "I am"... I cried
    "I am"

    My dad would get up early on Sundays and play his albums and sing to many of them. Neil Diamond was one of his favorites. Sadly, he passed away in June 2014. Listening to him brings back so many memories.

      This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our hearts..

    Don't we all cry "I am I said" through out our lives to some extent or another? I had been working several years after graduating from college and this song became my personal and private anthem. I prayed for "peaceful days before my youth had gone". Then on to raising a family while arriving home exhausted by my career duties. I was "the man in between". My youth has gone and I have found peaceful days....but Neil has always soothed me with his songs that address being torn by the quandaries of life. There is no singer/song writer in that has more closely connected with my soul than ND.
