    Love watching reactions to Neil Diamond. Notice his eyes constantly scan his audience so he sings directly to each individual. Great entertainer!

      Great observation. He did that back in 1967 too, when I watched him do it in person. What an awesome entertainer he was. At the time, there was literally nobody else like him who could capture an audience like he did. Pure magic! A memory I will never forget.

    He says in an interview that if you listen to his music “ it’s his life”. The man is a writing genius!

    The song is very autobiographical. He was born in Brooklyn and when he hit big, moved to LA. Out in LA, he decided to try acting. He auditioned for the role of comedian Lenny Bruce in a movie and he bombed his audition. He was so depressed about it that he started writing this song that day. It took him over four months to finish writing it. He’s said this was one of the hardest songs he ever wrote.

      it was about his divorce and he went to therapy and the part of his therapy was to express himself at a chair in the room if it had someone sitting in it. That's why he mentions it in the song.

    Neil Diamond is one of the best song writers there was...His music gave you chills...You felt every note and word...whether it be sad, moving, uplifting ....He just moved you....and not in a mushy girlly way he did it with a mans soul.

    I love this live version! It is perfect. Another live version that was so beautiful and perfect was "Morningside". It is on his double CD of hits. When I heard him sing that song, for the first time, the audience was mesmerized. Yes, My Top Two Favorites but there are more by him. The guy is beautiful, I love his voice, and he is perfect!

    Neil Diamond is a great storyteller. He has written numerous classics (Solitary Man, Holly Holy, Brooklyn Roads, America, Beautiful Noise and many others). The chair in this song is a reference to the psychiatrist's chair. Diamond battled with this song for 6 months following a near-breakdown after divorce and a move from NY to LA. His failure to land the part of Lenny Bruce in the movie Lenny left him close to breaking point and Diamond was depressed. By his own admission, Diamond spent months in psychotherapy and this song explains wonderfully his thoughts and feelings at the time. The song underwent countless rewrites until it said exactly what he wanted it to say. Diamond no doubt felt so alone and so alienated that he must have felt that no-one was listening to his tortured cries - not even the (psycho-analyst's) chair.

    In the 70's I was a teenager growing up in Zambia. Our social life revolved around parties based on our collective (including the parents!) record collections. Despite loving female vocals I came to really like Neil Diamond, his songs and his incredible voice. Getting mellow and wasted with a girl on my knee to Johnathon Livingston Seagull is a memory I will take to my grave.

    He went to Los Angeles in search of fame and fortune, and was totally overwhelmed by it.
    Another brilliant song on the same theme is "Limelight" by Rush.

  • @Albertarocks

    I was fortunate enough to have heard Neil sing this song in person, back in 1967. What a concert... what an entertainer Neil Diamond was back then, when he was just 25 and I was just 17. He filled that auditorium in Lethbridge with so much love, so fast, that before we knew it 7,000 cig lighters were on fire and the whole place lit up with... well, just with love. It was an amazing experience. 10 years later I got to watch the Beach Boys perform at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, AB. Again... an absolute mind blower. But throughout my teens, although there were hundreds and hundreds of great singers out there, Neil Diamond and Cat Stevens were just unbeatable. Such beatiful memories for this older guy to take with me when I go back home. Thank you Neil!

    If this affected you, you should listen to his song "Brooklynn Roads," which helps give more context to his life growing up in New York.

    Neil is Jewish and was raised with a firm Torah teaching. He was premed when he decided music was what he was going to do. He's torn between worlds, identities, and lost somewhere in it all trying to find out who he is. That informs so much of these lyrics. "I AM" is the name of God in the Old Testament/Torah. This is found in Exodus 3:16. He is so lonely and he's crying "oh God" and feels like God's not there and not listening. About "the chair"... The therapists aren't helping him either- they leave him in loneliness too. He's so lonely and lost he feels empty and without existence except for his pain. When he sings "I'm not a man who likes to swear but I never cared for the sound of being alone," he's swearing because it's saying God isn't there, almost saying God doesn't exist. That's swearing to a man raised in a religious Jewish tradition taught to revere the name of God. It's very much like the Psalms where the Jews cry out to God when they feel abandoned and their enemies are about to defeat them. Those are known as Imprecatory Psalms, and this song is very much like those. But in the end he hasn't given up on his faith in God because as the song ends he continues to call out "I Am..." or Oh God over and over. This song is a cry to God from a heart filled with the despair of loneliness. Lyrically and musically it's gold!

    I have known Neil since the 60's and had the opportunity to be commissioned to do his portrait in the 1980's which he hung in his home behind him being interviewed on 60 minutes. You need to hear Solitary Man. That will make you cry! River Deep Mountain High is awesome!

    Neil Diamond Cut That Song short I guess his Parkinson's probably starting to force him to do that. If you want to hear the full great version of this song look up Neil Diamond I am I said BBC live concert and listen to that you'll hear the whole full song cuz it had quite a bit left on the end that he kind of cut he shortened it.
