Neil Diamond - Brooklyn Roads 2008 (Hot August Night NYC)

[robertweschsr]

Oh yes Neil....I left my Brooklyn Roads in the early 60's for the Army, but I did the same as you, everything is a carbon copy except the father part. You were lucky you ran up two flights of staircase for supper and I walked very slow, because my dad was not as warm as yours. Now in my late 60's I think back is there a window in my old apartment to look out of {{grin}}. If there is,I think someone is looking out on my Brooklyn Roads.

@zorgen123 whoa man....what has ''hair'' have to do with his great talent?

Wonderful can relate to this song . Love it !

It is impossible to pick a favorite Neil Diamond song, but this is way up the list. I didn't grow up in Brooklyn, but I swear he wrote this song with me in mind.

How wonderful that Neil has such loving memories of growing up in Brooklyn. This song has always tugged at my heartstrings! He can deliver a song with such emotion!...love that about him!

[robertweschsr]

@kslrn1663 Oh so true....loved your comment. I'm sure if Neil would read this he would too.

Brings back memories of my childhood. I'm sure others as well. Listen to the words, maybe not New York, but your town, your home.

@azera6878 I couldn't agree more. I grew up in Ireland in the 80's/90's but this song reminds me of my own childhood. Listening to this for the first time in ages and I could cry. Love him!
