"Dry your eyes" This song makes more sense to me as each year goes by & the older I get. This world surely does make you dry your eyes & wait for that distant falling angel that was sent to soon at times.
He collaborated with Robbie Robertson on this, and it is s wonderful song, but the album--produced by Robbie--is also one of my favorites, He then went on to collaborate with Burt Bacharach--it sounded too phony. I also loved, as a poster before me, his Serenade album. I adore Lady Magdelene, but "I've been this way before" has the most resonance with me, since I was a teen and the song first played, until now.
neil diamond will never be replaced and no one in music history has had a better and meaningful career...his music is and always will be timelss (except of course for the synthesized 80's) it's ok neil we forgive you

I agree that this song represents the high point in Neil's songwriting. The Beautiful Noise album and Serenade were his very best efforts. His early autobiographical stuff such Brooklyn Roads and Shilo were also very good., but he really nailed it with Beautiful Noise and Serenade. the two best in my mind were this one and Lady Magdelegne
This is one of my all time favourite Neil Diamond's song, it is just awesome and never gets old. I wish a number of his latter songs had the same depth and sound musical arrangements.
one of the things that agitates me about neil, gawd this is a defining type of song, as dramatic a song one could imagine, so profound, the era it came from--just a defining anthem- yet neil never plays it, some say other then the last waltz he has never played this song live or since then??? unbelievable, how does this escape him? it is deeper and has more meaning then damn near anything he has penned Frustrating.
Perfection pure and simple

this is the best song he ever wrote!
this is as neil as you could ever wish for, another album i love is his taproot manuscript and also beautiful noise.
he is the greatest song writer of all time outside of bernie taupin.

majestic- the last watz version is better but this has a distinct flavor as well-- drums sound like little drummer boy.
If I had to pick my top 20 favorite all time songs this and holly holy would make the cut. Neil's writing at this time was just awesome.
