Neil Diamond - I Am The Lion

[darbykat16]

My dad and I listened to this album when we cleaned the house on Saturdays and when it got to this song, the cleaning would stop and he would chase me around the house pretending to be "the lion." Hold on a minute. There must be something in my eye.

6 People aren't "The Lion"

Love this song.

[relichunter96]

Thank you. My Dad had the Reader's Digest collection of 7 Lp's which featured all of his songs. And when my dad missed his father, he would take out the collection and listen to them while having a little brandy. Today, when I miss my dad, I take out my Neil Diamond Collection and have a little brandy and cry to songs like Morningside, I am... I said, and more. Thanks for making a grown man cry a little bit.

เพลงนี้ไม่เกี่ยวกับน้ำท่วมกรุง­เทพฯ แต่หาฟังยากดี :-)

...There was a flood

And many poor men were killed

And that is why our house

Is built on the top of a hill.......

I haven't heard this in 20+ years!! I'm so glad you uploaded this unusual and wonderful song!! Thanks!

[NancyinColorado]

my mom was a Diamond fanatic, and I have fond memories of listening to this on hot summer nights like tonight, and this song just came into my head out of nowhere, so I looked it up. I've met a lot of people that said they were huge fans but didn't know this album.

I'm a tiger... ROAR!

[Hidihida1]

totally love this song...... reminds me of my dad. He used to sing this to my sister and me, and we tried to sing along, but the only words I could remember was "bellowing out in the night" Thanks for the good memories....... miss you DAD. Oh, and this version of Niel Diamond is definately the best...... :)

@Hidihida1

[stupididiotization]

LOL I love how everyone who saw the Bert and Dan vid came to look at the real thing.

[goridegirlnc]

@stupididiotization

Meant to hit "thumbs up" here and hit he wrong thing, now it won't let me change it. :(

I remember listening to this version with my dad 35+ yrs ago, can't imagine how it could be any better...

[catkisser]

The Bert and Dan vid was certainly humurous! But leave it to Neil to bring it.

[30GreenChemicals]

[leonhardtk]

Wow! I've not heard this in years! I bought Tap Root Manuscript Manuscript, in the Mid '70s while living in England! Unfortunately, my album was stolen in early 80s; I have'nt been able to find another copy.

I love Neil Diamond's Music..but have been disappointed with his political views of late!

[lufcJJ]

Try Amazon,. I got a remastered CD of it a couple of years ago.

[al007italia]

My favorite as well. Performed it in High School

[stargazer1701A]

I cant believe that I heard this song once.. just once 35 years ago.. and I just heard it here and remember it exactly. Neil Diamond is awesome.

[theDragonaut]
