    One of the greatest singer-songwriters ever. A very distinctive voice, a hugely successful performer and writer of numerous classics. For me, one of the best things about Neil Diamond is his impeccable phrasing. You can actually understand every word he's singing. If you do another Neil Diamond song, try Brooklyn Roads, Stones, Holly Holy, Dry Your Eyes... You will be blown away!

    I saw Neil Diamond at Madison Square Garden. A friend asked me to go with her, and I went because she had nobody else to go with. I'll tell you, I wasn't into Neil's music. I was into a whole different genre of music. WELL! His voice blew me away. I never heard anyone so perfect in concert before! It taught me to be open-minded about different types of music. Anyway, Jayy, try "Sweet Caroline" next, its fun, people sing along.

    Neil Diamond is one of America's treasures.
    Such a long and storied career. Absolutely one of the best singer/songwriters EVER.
    He's often overlooked but he's part of EVERYONE'S musical DNA.
    COMING TO AMERICA should be next if you haven't already heard it.

      Absolutely. So well said. Been a fan for 5 decades. I Am I Said is not only my favorite song of his, but if I had to pick one song period as my favorite of all time…that’d be it. And I know, there are many wonderful songs in this world, by legends. But, if hard pressed to pick only one, this one hit me so deep when it first came out, and stayed with me, so I’d have to give it to Neil. His music was the soundtrack to my life. You’re right, he is often overlooked. Every view his induction to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, (finally?!)….classic, an unusually “lit” and irreverent, amusing acceptance speech from Neil, that they so deserved.

  • @theghost6412
    @theghost6412 2 роки тому +2

    In a nut shell its about depression, along with all the other unfortunate side effects. Missing home and not being able to settle in a new place, and trying to go home and find everything is completely different and no longer feels like home anymore. Having everything that goes with fame and fortune, but not having the rudimentary basics of life and feeling alone and isolated from everyone around you. Coming home that you worked so damn hard to achieve, but it is cold and empty despite its heavy furnishings. The high voltage electric feeling of being up on stage, but cold loneliness at home once on his own.
    He seeks help, but even the man in the chair doesn't listen and is indifferent.

    This song is about a very dark time in Neil’s life. He badly wanted the role of Lenny Bruce in an upcoming bio-pic. He moved to LA, immersed himself into the controversial character of Lenny. He didn’t get the part, and was depressed. The line “not even the chair” refers to the mental health professional he was seeing. This is my favorite song by Neil….but all are great❤️

My wife asked what are those ladies doing down by the stage? I said they're throwing their panties up on stage. She was shocked 😲she is such an innocent sweety!

    When I was a teenager, I asked my mother if I could watch the Neil Diamond concert being aired on TV. She wasn't thrilled but said that I could. After about 15 minutes she came into the room and said, "Who's that?" I said "that's Neil Diamond". She sat down mesmerized and finally said "He's so gorgeous! You know, that man could put his shoes under my bed anytime!" I almost fell off the couch because the only actor I knew her to have a crush on was Robert Stack. But she loved Neil. It was hilarious. He's wonderful!

The crowd sang along and clapped and danced to his whole repertoire of great hits. Mr Diamond you were a treasure for us all.

      @christinegelabert1651 2 роки тому +2

      @Linda Graveling How wonderful that must have been for her, and for you too of course! My friend is named Neil Diamond, yes...seriously. It wasn't intentional because he was actually born a few years before Cracklin' Rose came out but after his first hit came out in the 60s...but that wasn't a solo. While she was alive it STILL didn't stop his mom from telling people that. When people start to brag about their sons that didn't know her well at functions. She'd be like listen I know we just met and I don't mean to be a brag about my son but just you aware...MY son is Neil Diamond! Then she's excuse herself and walk away from them. Of course they would ask the hostess or others who is that woman who just took off? And they say OH that's Mrs. Diamond. THAT was her way of having the one upmanship with the mothers and getting the final word when she wanted to give him a little dig. My friend was like Ma if we ever wanted these people somewhere and we're together don't you think they're going to be a little disappointed when they actually meet me? I look nothing like the guy! I'm a good 1/2 foot shorter, and I can't sing worth a shit....the ONLY thing is we're both born in Brooklyn. She was like quit being such a warrior, I gave you a nice name. His mother gave him a nice name too. People never going to see again don't know the difference and they think you're famous. I'm sure if his mother was being annoyed at a cocktail party should do the same thing for me. I'm his long time friend from high school out here on Long Island. That's where they moved to & we all used to think it was hysterical! LOL!!! 😂

    He’s amazing. Seen him a few times, too. I never imagined I’d be a Neil Diamond fan, but here I am. He’s done a few Christmas albums that are among my favorites. He’s just fantastic. 💜💜💜

    He sought fame and fortune. Then he found it and didn't know what to do with it.
    Another great song on the same theme is "Limelight" by Rush.

    One of my favorite performances by ND is when he was on Dame Shirley Bassey's show and together they are singing a song he wrote Play Me. The clarity and power of her voice and his voice is superb. For me, better than when he sings with Barbara Streisand. If you play it, you need to cut the video after that performance because he goes on to sing solo.

    I have senn him in concert probably 10 times. He never fails to deliver. I don't remember what year but I saw him on Christmas Eve in concert. He did part of his set. Then went off stage and came back out in a santa suit and song christmas carols for 30 monutes or so and then finished his set. I thought that was cool. But what made even cooler is that he is Jewish. I hope to see him again but he was slowing way down on stage the last time I saw him.

    Your interpretation is correct IMO. I will add that Neil finds success lonely and success made him basically homeless. Neil is the frog who dreamed of being a king (finding success). Once he found success, he finds himself alone. It's lonely at the top as the saying goes. btw, the chair is probably his analyst, suggesting that even his analyst doesn't understand Neil's basic problem.
