  • Lovely song,but they should have recorded it with an electric piano that was in tune!!! Pax to all from 73soulboy.Xxx.

  • this suks

  • EEastCCoast: I fell exactly the same feelings. Nice writting.

  • The Sonly First Creation of God once visited earth as an extra-terrestrial. And he promised he would "come back again" with salvation for both living people who suffer and even some people who have died. He said his return would begin with his casting rebel angels such as Satan from heaven to our earth. Today a person with an enlightened heart can discern that he has done this and begun a countdown to his final cleansing... that of the old world here Compare 1 Kings 3:9 See Revelation 12;7-10

  • Always knew this song as 'The ET song' when I was 5.

  • southpark faq brought me here

  • Very good song....

  • @centralparocker I know I've got MY heartlight on in detection of a Friend coming back again now. It glows like King Solomon's heart which is spoken of at 1 Kings 3:9. And the song lyrics here at 1:07 and 1:17 somehow bring Revelation 1:07 and Ephesians 1:17-21 to my memory. An enlightened heart is a heart that has eyes - eyes obediently open and shining. It's a heart shining with an understanding of what's come over this crazy world surrounding us. - SEEREUSS, P.O.Box 04817, Detroit, MI 48204

  • Thumbs up if u are here from south park!!

  • @EEastCCoast Thumbs *down*. LOL it drives me nuts that today's younger generation has to hear about *real* music like this from all these new "junkfood" shows like South Park, Glee, and all that other crap.

  • Sung by Cartman on South Park last night...

  • Thumbs up if you're listening to this in 2073

  • @suaspa8 I had to do the same thing in 1983 when I was in 8th grade.

  • @suaspa8 seems like they should focus on spelling and not teaching you 29 year old songs...even thos its a great song

    concert not concurt

    whole not hole

    please focus on studys that actually matter...

No careing. Kids don't get to be kids anymore. Your'e safe and free from harm now Ame. God will never let you remember your hell and he will always protect you. God Bless You Honey! Joe in PA.

  • I completely agree with twinklebear22 , this song is pure magic , and that magic you felt in the air in those times is inexistent today , it's like a period of grace god gave us before the oblivion of today

  • Burt Bacharach just might be god

  • crashythaty,,hey man or manster,,why thhe anger,,,how did u find this song 2 insult all the fans,,,,peace brother,,,us ET fans promOTE love and harmony,,,GOD BLESS,

    ET will return and forgive u 4 ur uninformed outburst,,,we all grow wiser with age,,,well,,,most of us,,,

  • this is a good song but i wish he would of cut out the "in the middle of a young boys dream" cuz people keep makin fun of it even thought its a great song

  • With the pass of time a lot of my friends have turned away from me.... For whatever reason!

    And I only have to listen to this song to remember the great times I spent with them!

    You have them today..... Tomorrow "WHO KNOWS"

    But the good memories will always remain in your heart and mind!

  • @westpalmbeach5 "With the pass of time a lot of my friends have turned away from me.... For whatever reason!"

    Perhaps they didn't turn away from you; perhaps their paths merely lead them in a different direction.

  • It looked for this tune.

    It found it.

  • This song will be performed and dedicated to the memory of the late Lasallian icon, Rev. Bro. Michael Jacques, fsc who passed on recently at the age of 95 while we celebrate the 131st Anniversary Dinner of St. Francis' Institution, Malacca. A very suitable song for a very suitable occasion. May his soul Rest in Peace.

  • i love this song and I love this movie even more. Screw the haters. They have no hearts. This song brings back so many warm and wonderful memories of my adolescence in the early 1980's.

  • Excellent! Best song, Best Lirycs, Best movie.

  • what a shitty song. i cant believe all the positive comments for it. am i hearing a different song? hes just babbling about random shit then he sings the hook. washrinserepeat like 30 times and dont forget the shitty guitar solos.

  • @crashythaty When this song came out..... Must of the people here were only little kids....

    The impact of the song is after time has gone by.... That's why it makes me feel sad and brings me a lot of memories when I listen to it!

    This song makes me understand even very good friends can be gone!

    Peace brother.....

  • Truly one of Neil's "Most Beautiful" hit. :)

  • Beautiful and very memorable.Neil Diamond has writtrn some gems over the years

    and this is one of them

    God Bless ya Neil

  • One of the best Neil Diamond songs. I can listen to it over and over again without getting fed up. I only wish everyone could turn on their heartlights to whoever they meet in life, and this world would be a beautiful place...

  • At my school we have a dance and fitness program called Heartlight and we use this song as a partner stretch.. Awwwooooooooo! FOOT FOOT LEG LEG! I love This song...

  • Anyone have the song 'You Don't Know Me' on mp3? The beautiful B-Side to Heartlight on the original vinyl single, one of my favourite Neil songs.

  • I want to thank you for creating this heartfelt video.

    I'm a Vietnem Veteran and when I returned to Brooklyn I no longer had my heartlight glow. The wires were disconnected.

    I was unable to be around my best friend -- I was disappointed that he chose not to write me while in Vietnam. I relate to the character E.T. in that I felt different from others.

    I'm beginning to see where the disconnected wires are located wires and hopefully I'll be able to connect them and let my "Heartlight Glow."

  • Thinking of someone extraodinary and missing you....Love you MJ

  • Now that I think about it the lyrics fit perfectly with the movie.Too bad they didn't use it.Good song though.

  • How hard and sad is to say goodbye to a love one!

  • This song reminds me that in this life time there will always be a good friend even if he's not present!

  • i agree and yep it very magical cool song

  • Funny, I've always liked this song and only today I realise it's about ET.

  • I recommendn singing this at people in trainstations.

  • ET was nice but the other aliens where super perverts , probing boys and girls left and right . They where so naughty even Micheal Jackson was too scared to get on the ship .

  • ive got surgery monday morning and im hoping i can remember the lyrics of this song its a very unique song i love it wish me luck with the surgery

  • It is still true evryone, I just know it... Let's turn on our heart lights and let them shine, its time again... let it go ! I love you all.

  • super thanks so much

  • '82.... 29 years ago... doesn't seem possible...

  • @wiseguy472 I'm not a dumb and I dislike this song... and you know why? cuz' it's too soft to be passionate!!!

  • great song the best i've heard

  • "home is the most excellent place of all...". For an OFW like me who's working so far away from my family in the Philippines, this song really brings a powerful impact... úsed to hear this song back in 1980 during my senior year in high school in marikina... and i fell in love with this song way back then....

  • THIS SONG IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG THAT I´VE EVER HEAD

    NEIL DIAMOND WAS OR IT´S BETTER TO SAY IS ... EXCELLENT VOICE AND MAGIC PERFORMANCE

    I LOVE THIS SONG

  • this is a nice song

  • This song is so beautiful!! There is so much meaning and emotion in this song. So very powerful!! Everytime I hear it , the tears just flow. you can interpet this song in any way you would like. I like to think of loved ones I have lost and where they are now. This song takes me back to a time of true innocence and happiness in my life. There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a shame. Missing those days but hold the memories in my heart forever!! ♥

  • @twinklebear22 Couldn't have said it any better. Thank You

  • @rjv1415 Thank you for your ever so kind words my friend. :)) ♥

  • @twinklebear22 iam crying now

  • @twinklebear22 During his OWN life as an extra-terrestrial visiting earth, Jesus Christ the Sonly First Creation of Jehovah God said those who have "enlightened hearts" would see him flash a sign of his second coming and detect his prescence as a new heavenly King over us, a King who would soon restore peaceful Edenly conditions to earth and grant deathless life of perfection to people he judges fit for a New World See Psalm 83:18, John 17:3, Revelation 1:7, Matthew 24:3-14 & Ephesians 1:17-21

  • Beautiful song and I consider one of the best song for me!

  • where would all the singers be without their great musicians that make the music and melody for their songs such as this beauty?

  • Gr8 song! love it : )

  • A most excellent video!

  • great song!!! perfectly suited the movie. i wish they had included it on the DVD.

  • Hey electrojones go fuck yourself.

  • uma viagem! maravilha!

  • @electrojones hahhahaha lol....OMG..,...! hahhaha

  • what a great song to just do nothing but listen awesome!!

  • I still ♥ this song Neil! Even though you NEVER seem to sing this one in concert in Milwaukee, I wished you would do it for me!!!!!:-} Turn on you're heartlight Neil

  • composer burt bacharach and neil diamond.

  • Neil should have sang this during the 2010 Stand Up To Cancer telethon. His rendition of "Yesterday" was terrible. This would have brought the house down last night.

  • HELLO MIS CINCO DEDITOS ARRIBA,,,,,,KISSS,,,,MARTA

  • True this song came out at about the same time as E.T. but what on earth does this song have to do with ET?...LOL

  • @AllAboutLOVEatYuToob some of the lyrics help tell the story and elliott says i just made friend et portaying he and et and the song and turn on your heartlight is the heartlight glow that et has and he doesn't want to leave it may mean something else but this is how i understand part of the song

  • and when my best friend was dying she asked, 'What was that song,' take a ride across the moon'?  and she did.................

  •  What made E.T. a little different was that it portrayed an alien as a friend,

    instead of an invader. Most Sci-fi movies don't.

  • Love this Songs

  • I may not good in english but this song make me feel something about love and joy to share with someone and some friends I love. God you turn on what I miss so much, melody and word very beatiful as light that turn on love and care for people in the world. I love this songs:)

    THANKSSS

  • This Song Is So Beautiful, Thank You For Taking The Time To Post It For The World To Listen To...

  • I was 12, maybe 13 when I met a girl while on holidays at my parents holiday house on the NSW North Coast. This song was playing when my dad told me I was too young too feel what I felt for the girl I'd fallen for & that I had to forget her after the holidays. I cried when I heard the song again the morning we had to leave, and every word of it made me feel as though it was written for us. I've travelled to seventy six countries, across 5 continents & still haven't found love like that again....

  • @mistertube10

    mister tube i was very moved about your story by a particular piece of underated ND magic. I hope one day someone can replace that 1st love

    good luck Peter Sheward durban South Africa.

  • ..the globe and ET.

  • E.T. was on a few weeks ago and I watched it....and of course I cried...lol....and this song just kills me....right in the heart it pokes....

  • When I was a teenager I lived with my friend and her parents for a very short time because my mother was going through some hard times. This song was popular at the time. The part where it says..."he's looking for a home....'cause everyone needs a place....and home's the most excellent place of all...."....when I would hear that part I'd become overwhelmed with feelings of homesickness for my mom and my home. I have my own home now, but this song really takes me back. Thanks for posting it.

  • @tammyramey mee too two.... =)

  • never realized this song was for this movie

  • Bela canção !! Como tudo que ele faz !!!

  • i am crying now  at 59

  • this song used to be played allot on the radio on this oldies station back in the early 90's and i never knew it was related to ET..

  • I still cry...at 36 everytime I watch E.T. I always want him to stay. Love this song.

  • @PDowns1973 I'm 36 also and i cry everytime i watch E.T. too! Special place in my heart!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG !!!

  • ET My Fav Film Neil Diamond My Fav Singer :)

  • the best, give me rest, it}s the best you can find

  • I remember when I was 8. I cried all the way home on the bus after seeing E.T. God Bless Neil Diamond

  • Positively gorgeous ballad that reminds one of the freindship between ET and Elliott from the classic movie. This song could speak it's lyrics just by the music alone....absolute genius went into the creation of this song....to the poster: good job on the video, too!!!!

  • this song is sooooooooo  nice....thank you for posting.

  • Bellisima cancion, tan llena de romanticismo, Neil Diamond, eres una estrella.

  • I prefer "E.T., I Love You" by Buckner & Garcia, 'cause it's better (in all the senses) than Neil Diamond's "Heartlight".

    From Wikipedia: "The duo's intended follow-up to "Pac-Man Fever" was "E.T., I Love You," which, despite permission from Steven Spielberg, was shelved by the label in favor of Neil Diamond's unauthorized "Heartlight," which brought on a lawsuit."

  • One of the most beautiful ballads ever. Things were so new and exciting when you were young...we grow up too quickly these days. This song reminds me of happy times :)

  • I remember the first time I heard this song, my parents were taking me to a fine dining restaurant near a harbor in Hawaii, for some strange reason, everything was sparkling that evening, from the glass skyscrapers, the brand new Cadillac Eldorado we were riding in, the jewelry my mother was wearing, the champagne glasses and silver ware, to the glimmering sunset on the horizon. This truly brings back memories.

    hehe who would've guess that the artist was Neil DIAMOND! :D

  • this song reminds me of michael jackson

  • I agree totally with you as I thought of Michael this morning when I listened to it on the radio this morning but have always liked the song and had just thought of Neil himself but for some reason Michael Jackson came to mind today.

  • Neil wrote this as he watched the film

  • reminds me of my boys

  • this song was dedicated to me by my parents when i had open heart surgery when i was little cause i was born with a big hole in my heart that had to be fixed so they thought this song was the best song for me and im thankful that they dedicated this song to me

  • @thenextbigchristmas nobody gives a fuck

  • @upinsmoke1507 fuck off heartless bastard what if you had a kid with a hole in his heart then maybe you'll think twice about saying stupid shit like that

  • @thenextbigchristmas Best of wishes to you and your family sir. Neil touches peoples hearts and minds more than any other. All the best in the future.

  • Good songwriter singers are great! Here's another fine example.

  • What a powerful melancoly song,

    by a great singer,

    If it was also with Bacharach, he ( BB) must be the greatest song writer, EVER

  • I think he wrote this with Bacharach?

  • this is a nice driving song :O)

  • Holy crap I remember when my parents had the 8 track for this song....for those who don't know what an 8 track is....ask your parents :o)

  • I am 49 years old and I remember them they were the worst when came to want to listen to your favorite song on the album. I am glad they did away with them. Great song by Neil Diamond 1982.

  • Stunning song

  • I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFULL SONG!!!!

  • I agree with MrMUSIC81. I was born in the early 60's so don't really remember the early Neil Diamond. But I was in college when this song was popular in 1982 and still think it is one of the most beautiful songs ever done.

  • The most beautiful song ever! :)

  • Nice song

    Ugly Video

  • This song is from the Fall of 1982,I think it's one of Neil's very best !!!!!!!

  • why alchol guess what jesus drank your just a hyrocrite no one cares what you have to say

  • Too bad this song is 20+ years old. I think it transends time, something todays youth could enjoy.

  • This Song and America are the best songs he made!

  • Beautiful!

  • great song

  • i love this song so much. before when i heard this song i thought it was just a song that my grandfather would listen to. but now that i'm older and i've exprienced friendships, i understand. and know that one of my best friends has moved away, and two of my other best friends are moving, i know know how elliot feels. -sigh- well, this was a great movie, 5 stars!

  • thelaird1 yo have done a good job with a nice song tastefully illustrated with stills from the movie ET. I am probably the only person in the western hemisphere who has never seen that movie and had no idea that the song was part of that movie. Nicely done!

  • Me envía a mis 7 años.....cuando creia en amigos imaginarios y podia existir ET.

  • Reminds me of Mike, one of the sweetest dogs we ever had.

  • Great song,

  • I love this song. I was about 13 when I heard it for the 1st time & I met a girl the day before who may or may not have been a figment of my imagination....to this day I can't be sure because nobody else saw her and the neighbours at my parents holiday house said she wasn't staying with them (scary because I met her in their yard. Anyway, she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen & I fell hard, even though I only knew her for about an hour (she invited herself for a canoe ride with me & we

  • My favorite Neil Diamond song! It reached #5 in 1982.

  • so true

  • shiiiiiit that is one of the most sad movies i ve ever seen... i cried so hard when i was a kid

  • Great song. I remember hearing this when I was just a kid. Those days are gone forever replaced by work and stress. But hearing this song brings me back to a time long before all that and puts a smile on my face. Even if for only a short time.

  • same here

  • ya, I totally agree, I was 5 when this movie came out and I love this movie so much casue it reminds me alot about being a kid...and puts a smile on my face too

  • The most soothing song for me . God bless Neil Diamond

  • @liljacob2 I like your point of remisicencse i feel the same when i hear this song, back when 80's seem so innocent through younger eyes! God Bless! Have a great day!!
