  • JUST MISSED!!! "Play Me" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 11 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1972. This song followed Mr. Diamond's "Song Sung Blue", which peaked at No. 1!!!

  • An incredibly sensual, romantic song.... Simply beautiful.

  • loupylouful forgive yourself - she could have come to you too.....she would not want you to want you to suffer like this.

  • My father died without ever mending the 18 year rift he had with my brother. It broke my brothers heart.

  • This song fits so well... He is the Sun, I am the Moon. He is the words, I am the Tune. And he plays me so gently and beautifully.

  • Thanks for posting one of my favorite songs to listen and dance to. Like the guitar and the Rumba beat.

    Good work....keep it up.

    I am sure, others are enjoying it as much as I.

    The comment about the man's father..... Having grown up without parents...

    Rise above what is holding you back....see him while he is alive....Do not put it off,

    We only have so many heart beats on this Earth and they can be up at any minute.

  • go and see your father what ever happened between you too is always good and will be the best

  • This guy really cranked out alot of great songs, without question.

  • Life has been good, while so many struggles came my way. I sought to be a world champion pool player and ended up writing books and teaching the game to so many at The Monk Training center. This songs stirs my heart and at 65 I think I may have left something out of my life. I just don't know.

  • I've been a Neil Diamond fan all my life. This song...his guitar imploring him to play it. Together he & his guitar made such beautiful harmonic music...keep playing her Neil.

  • Another Diamond Gold Nugget

  • I don't like the new media player - you can't see how much has downloaded while you watch/listen?

    Can that feature be put back?

  • And what do we get today Justin Bieber and Lady?kaka

  • Once I thought this were the musical theme of the movie "Brother sun, sister moon"... Well, I was a little child then. By the other hand, this song is one of the most beautiful ones of Neil.

  • I think that this american man is the most biggest poetical artist in the second half of the XX century, in the USA, his beautifuls songs are something that make me reminder went I was young

  • I went to visit my Uncle one night and Neil Diamond was going to be on Ed Sullivans Show, when I asked my Uncle if we could watch it He said "Neil Who?" well after the performance my Uncle was the biggest Neil Diamond Fan. He had all of his records and always teased me about "Neil Who? RIP Uncle Ronald

  • @kuriouslee Great story mate.

  • sitting here listening to all his beautiful songs and remember the times when i was going steady:-), and i really want to going back to that time, i know it sounds stupid, but arn't memories the best time of your life????

  • @highlander9457 I totally agree, love my past and the wonderful memories of long ago days..

  • Modern day "artists," TAKE A LISTEN. This is what talent sounds like. Notice that some time and thought went into writing this song. Amazingly, you can have a hit song without the words bitch or ho in it. Who'd have thought ???

  • @MrInsanity67 A-MEN!!

  • Magical

  • CHILLS !!!!

  • @TheDiamond262 I enjoy listening to him so much that I named one of my boys after him - Alexander Neil.

  • @belleofalaska Wow that's fantastic, my sons name's Alex too. I never got a chance to name my boys after him since I stopped being a fan of Neil in 80s and 90s because of other amazig artists. But not better than Neil I must say :)

  • Magnificent Poetry!

  • My Mother loved Neil so much! His voice lifted her up away from her tragic and lonely life. Poor thing.... She lost two of her three kids, her marriage, her mother and then eventually her mind to Alzheimer. Now when I hear his songs...I can see my Moms smile RIP Mom I miss you

  • mmmmmmmm been introduced to this song recently....absolutely love it

  • Congrats Neil on your induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame but you did not need it to make you great, you are a true musician of the heart. You songs have touched the hearts of many before the induction, so play on.

  • wonderfull beautifull

  • Your are just stunning and thanks a million for coming to South Africa. We would love to see you but we dont have the money for the show, but we still love you and thanks my Hero!

  • I just we could see the 6 dislikes. Maybe they're some kinda tight assed Muslims...

    

  • with songs like that we can live the past in the present.

  • tammy wineamt

  • Recently found myself loving his song Play Me. I grew up hearing his songs at my Aunt's home nextdoor but as a child it didn't mean anything. As an older person now, it's heart touching and soothing.......

  • Finally...the Hall of Fame got smart and inducted Neil...congrats!!

  • Why did it take 20 years for the Rock N Roll hof to figure out what the rest of the world has always known about Neil Diamond?It makes their voters look alot worse than it made him look to omit him for so long.

  • My dad used to play his casette tapes on long drives on the motorway, used to have all these songs including this. Funny because we used to make fun of him for playing the same song again but... Now I miss them.

  • can not say anything just great

  • a true call for love.. like mine... please... play me

  • play me!!!!!!!!!!!! please play me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A simply perfect song and video :)

  • I heard this song on the radio today—and I fell in love with it. I tried to look it up but came back with the cliché trash most of us listen to today.

    It's nice to know that this song is still listened to today and admired by many; I can only wish I grew up during this time.

  • What a great song I love it, I’ve always love Neil Diamond’s music.

  • i love this song xx

  • I heard this song in the grocery store on Sunday and have had it running in my mind and heart ever since... places, people and things that happened 25 or 30 years ago have sprung back into memory with every replay. So much water under the bridge... The power of music to energize the mind and soothe the soul is phenomenal.

    (Hope this doesn't happen again for a while... )

  • @cambridge1111

    Amen.

  • Very much a tune I can weep to in happy sadness!..My father (R.I.P.) used to sit on the end of my bed with his guitar and sing me to sleep many nights with this!...many years on after his death..this tune still cannot fail to bring me to tears..MANY thanks for uploading and sharing this precious song.

    I owe you

  • "You are the sun, I am the moon. You are the words, I am the tune. Play Me."

  • this is one of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL songs of my Life I have Ever heard... I am a true 70s gal, and I grew up listening to Greats like Neil, one of my all time FAV singer/songwriters/guitarists.­.. he is Timeless... smiles.

    simpler times...

  • Truly a masterpiece; one of many this amazing man sang

  • looks like nancy wilson at 2:21?

  • Songs like this, take you back to your youth and are part of what you are. Beautiful.

  • THIS IS `THE ONE`

  • I remember when I was 17, walking down the road to go to work, there was a full moon and this song was playing. I can never forget this beautiful moment in my life, shortly thereafter when I was in a disco and a sweet girl asked me to dance this song with her. The scene of the fool moon came back in my mind while I was dancing with her. It was so romantic. Still in love

  • @nerapsd Great Story !! And, thanks to Neil, your story has a soundtrack... Thanks for sharing it. Hello from a fellow Neil Diamond fan who understands...

  • i have been listening his songs for more than 30 years and this song in particular has always been one of my absolute favorites.

    after all those years of living alone with no one to love i met domi and all of a sudden i realized why i love this song so much - it says everything i want to tell her, i need to tell her, i need her to know.

    i love you now, forever and beyond...

  • I am very much in love with my Boyfriend David....when I hear this song I think of him and I together and it brings tears to my eyes. This and Barry Manilows song Somewhere in the night always made me feel warm and loved. I listen to them and am thankful to have a man feel so much love for me that songs like these make me cry.

  • Like many others, my dad was the one who introduced me to Neil Diamond's music, and I am forever indebted to my dad for that. It's been so long since my dad left this world to be with God, and I will always miss him. But whenever I feel the need to be close to him, I can just turn on some Neil Diamond, and there he is. I take comfort inthe fact that I know we will see each other again someday. I love and miss you, Daddy. You are with me in everything I do.

  • Great song!

  • Fuck, i hate this. it makes me cry every time i hear this song and think of my lost loves. now i'm lonely and old. i have nothing. i should have kept the love, any of them, instead of thinking i could do better or get more. i regret ALL i have done. c....

  • neal is a great song writer! very much like dylan

  • So many beautiful words coming from one beautiful man's mind. I was 12 when he came out with Solitary Man. I was in love with him. I'm still in love with his music.

  • Wow! This song makes me cry... It's a beautiful song! I agree with frankg3rd. Very sweet sound!

  • Neil can reach down and grab loneliness and tame it to the sweetest of sound.

  • Very good. Neil is a superb songwritter and one of the greatest singers ever .

  • Well done. The video I mean. The song was already great.

  • I am a young dad,  its not just for dads in the 1970s that like ND

  • Neil Diamond.. one of modern music's great composers. This is a wonderful FMV, too... thank you. :)

  • The darkness and despair that I feel in this song makes it more beautiful than any other love song I have ever heard.

  • Looking through a few comments...made me smile to see others commenting about fathers who have passed but whose memories are stirred with this tune, my father used to play this on his acoustic sat on my bed to lull me to sleep..happy times that I cherish and miss every day!

    Beautiful tune and beautiful memories..Thank you for posting.

  • Good job on this video !! All Hail Neil Diamond !!

  • touching song reminds me of when me and my dad used to drive to france to go carp fishing whist listening to neil diamond
