Goosebumps indeed. Love ya Neil. My aunt took me all over town in 1969 looking for Sweet Caroline on a 45. I was 12. And now many years later you are still da man.
This is one of his most beautiful and passionate songs! Very personal and so true! Nobody's life is just one long party,not even if you're famous! He paid a high price for his passion even though it was the life he wanted! Listening to this song make me wanna cry! Hell yeah,he will be missed!!!
I had my husband listen to this song a bout a year ago. He was sick and knew he didn't have a lot of time left but he had always told me that he had like his life. When he listened to the song he had tears in his eyes. I put it on my face book for my children to hear and they loved it. They said it was like Neil was singing exactly what my husband would have said. He died on Nov 11, 2010. I can't stop playing it.
@timpilarr Thank you!! Music means a lot to me at this time and youtube has really helped me to find the music that expresses my own feelings in words that were inspired by the songwriters. Neil Diamond has done
that so well over the years. This particular song hits the nail right on for my guy.
45 years a fan and this song and performance confirms my conviction that a live performance just doesn't get any better than this!! OUT OF THIS WORLD!!
Neil Diamond, A genuinely honest man, a rarity in an unforgiving business, a master of his craft, very few come near, many have tried, it is surprising to hear Neil voice his fear that he may get found out that he is the same as everyone else, the truth is Neil you are totally unique, a gift to us with your beautiful music and your humility, thank you for the many years of listening to you and watching you in concert, long may you reign
This song also brings tears to my eyes. I can't imagine a world without him. He is the greatest in every way. I have been a big fan since the beginning. The passion in his voice at the end totally blows me away.
Thank you Neil, you have been with me all of my life with your songs. I iam iaid, and Hell yeah, its some of the songs that can talk about our lives and touch our hearts! we love you!
WOOW . Einfach nur , ich weiss gar nicht wie ich schreiben soll . Sorry muss mir kurz die Tränen aus den Augen wischen damit ich wieder schreiben kann . Also einfach nur wunderschön starker Text und ein wunderbarer Neil Diamond ich glaube damit ist alles gesagt .
Absolutely wonderful! Answers those questions that would have been asked after he's gone (but not yet or soon, hopefully). He's had a long career already but hopefully more to come! Those eyes still hold their magic!
Gott sei dank hat sich Neil noch nicht vom Jugendwahn anstecken lassen .Finde das Neil noch immer ein gutaussehender Mann ist .Als junges Mädchen haben mich seine samtbraunen Augen fasziniert, Ich muss gestehen auch als "altes Mädchen " ist es genau so.Hoffentlich bleibt Neil so.
Thank you for a song that could so describe a mans life faced with many challenges. He met them with courage and determination. Only because of certain music like this. He is gone now (5 months) but the music carry us through. Thank you for being a part of our friday nights for 37 years.
It takes courage to write a song like that, courage to sing it and courage to perform it live in front of thousands. He may be a Man of God he is also a Man of Courage. Well done Neil,fantastic and unforgettable performance.
I just heard this song for the first time at a friend's memorial service. It was incredibly perfect.
