  • amazing grace isnt about jesus? lol.... uhm yea.. crackheads.

  • Pretty amazing song!

  • beautiful...

  • Neil finally found the Lord Jesus. whoever doesn't believe can just deal with the truth. JESUS is Lord. And Neil finally found Him.

  • ...it is what it is...you are what you are......easy to love

  • Hi williamtaplin

    I have just been watching your video and I must admit it really is very good.

    I really enjoyed watching it.

    Already looking forward to more of the same in the future.

    Cheers to your success.

  • Erm, so was Jesus!

  • haven't heard this one in years !!!

    enjoy...

  • Diamond told the Sun newspaper May 16, 2008 about this track: "I stand back and look at Pretty Amazing Grace and to me it's a song about the perfection of love. To somebody else, it's gonna mean something else. There was no premeditated idea. What does it all mean? I don't know and I don't care. It's gonna be what it is. I feel much the same about all the songs."

    I get from his lyrics the love for God. Because it does say in verse two, "As I enter your chapel".

  • That would be a literal reading of the lyrics. Entering the chapel could be a metaphor and indicate his worship of his love.People go to church for comfort and a place of refuge, maybe that's how he feels about his wife/girlfriend?

  • Let me tell you that your arrogance will be completely cast off one day when you shall see this fictional character coming back to us.

  • i would love it if this song was about Jesus, but i was never convinced it was- the lyrics just didn't quite fit- even though there are many words from the hymn.

    i just read it on his official website- where he answers fans' questions-

    Q: what was that song all about?

    A: the power of women.

    so there's the answer from neil diamond himself.

    i still love the song!

  • Dawg, it's not about jesus.

  • word

  • Das Album Home before dark zeigt uns , das es auch ein in die Jahre gekommener Neil Diamond noch voll drauf hat . Seine neuen Songs sind authentisch und "pur".Dafür das der Mann 68 ist sieht er noch verdammt gut aus und auch seine Stimme hat noch immer die gleiche Intensität wie früher , vielleicht sogar noch etwas mehr weil sie etwas rauer , reifer geworden ist.Wünsche ihm noch viele jahre im Studio und auf der Bühne bei seinen Fans . Weil das ist sein Leben.

  • brill,.............

  • Ay, el tema de Carlitos de Conduce Chile?

  • Thank you Neil Diamond for Prasing our King Jesus Christ and for sharing it with us. Glory Be To God!

  • I just had the privilege of seeing Neil at the Hollywood Bowl a few nights ago. He looks so healthy and happy, totally at peace with himself if you know what I mean. We should all be so lucky!

  • sorry "the jazz singer" lol

  • a truely great artist and songwriter "the jazz man". His music can be enjoyed by all ages which is a great gift.

  • This is wonderful, love Neil Diamond! Thanks james for sharing this! 5*****!

  • Dear James, thank you for sharing this one... It is great!

  • Thankyou James, for this wonderful share! I have loved Neil Diamond ever since I was a little girl. Ohhhh, he's is still looking good... and still has that beautiful voice!

    Thanks for the post, williamtaplin :)

  • a very nice song!

  • Very very song!!!!!!Kiss from Sol

  • Thanks James for the share!

  • Love it!!

  • thanks bigezzy for sharing

    great tune

  • Wonderful song, thx for sharing bigeezy!!!

  • You idiots fail to understand the genius of Neil Diamond. Can't you see that he intentionally wrote it to be ambiguous. Some hear it and assume it's about God and others assume it to be a love song. It is whichever you want it to be. I personally believe it is about his dog. So take your pick, God, Dog or Bitch.

  • God isn't interested in Religion, it's manmade. But, silly me, in my state of peace I forgot that in this world if man says something is right then that has to be right without question.

    Oh..

  • how can people be saying it isnt about god, considering it has half the lyrics from the original amazing grace in it.plus he's jewish, if your trying to interpret it about a woman then you need the amazing grace he's singing about n godalonebetheglory is right it is a good thing christianity isnt a religion.craig

  • This song is not about God! Just stop it with the religious interpretations, please.

  • birdsnest side of the bath crust viva ronaldo who est aup duncan how r ya? hows ya missus?only jokin r kid.bloody helllll.cyril fowles=legend!!!!

  • I saw Neil Diamond in Concert when I was younger and he's pretty amazing. I love the song "Amazing Grace". Thank you for posting this video. God Bless, Tina

  • This song touches me like the old hymn

    Amazing Grace. I rejoice when I hear

    this song.

  • Thank U

  • sure, go ahead and hate a Jewish man for singing a song of the amazing grace of God. Its an amazing testimony and actually quite brave.

  • You're right. That's why I'm glad Christianity is not a religion. It's a relationship. Religions are all about doing things. Christianity says that there is nothing that you can do. And it is only a relationship with Jesus Christ that can save you.

  • dude its not religion that tears us apart its not respecting each others religion. to say go down with religion is just a sign that the world is too fucking lazy to accept, understand and live harmoniously with other religions. Its not down with religion, its down with the unacceptance.

  • I agree

  • You are religious too, you just don't realize it. In your life, you have become your own god and you worship yourself at every turn, I'm sure.

  • Do you ever read the book of Psalms? I kind of identify this song with something King David wrote. Try Psalms 95 where he said Come sing for the rock of our salvation. King David's lifetime was long before the birth of Christ. Remember one thing. Jewish people are no different than us Christians. They love the Lord as much as I would as a Christian. Neil has always did songs like Think The Lord for the Nighttime,Holly Holy, and Brothers Love Traveling Salvation Show.
  • lmao proper snazzy pic at 2.29 :P

  • To me (and maybe it's just me reading my own life experiences into it,but...), this song seems so obviously Christian in terms of its lyrics! I sing quite a bit at my church and am seriously considering performing this one... Anyone know where I can get a good back-up of this???

  • christian song or not...its a lovely track.

    and as for the question of a ''good back-up'' of it.....why not BUY IT?

  • This is definitely 1 of my favourite songs.

    I get stick from my mates for liking Neil Diamond,

    but they're th ones who're missing out hehe =]

  • Demais esse cara! Gosto muito. Brazil na Veia.

  • Fantastic song, by a brilliant singer !

    I love it, we have the video Home before dark it's lovely.

  • I just thought since "Amazing Grace" is a Christian song, that maybe...

  • this songs just makes you think about life,

    it also shows that even though bad things are happening amazing thing can happen.

    his voice is soo old and has a relaxing feel to it im only 12 and i can tell he is one amazing singer

  • @miggytt hes been an awesome singer for over 4 decadesnow.. first heard him sing, solitary man when i was 14 , im now 54,,,,,,,,,,awesome singer/ saw him in DC like 5 yrs ago for the first time....... amazing

  • Does this song imply that Neil has become a Christian? Does anyone know if he has? Thanks!

  • Such a beautiful song - and yes, I'm biased! AmazingGrace07 :-)

  • I am going to see Neil this Sunday in ST.Paul minnesota..Been a fan for years..He is truley amazing....ROCK ON NEIL...Moiria

  • That's pretty cool that song, it seems to be bout jesus. I was driving home today from work and then they played it on the radio. Had myself wondering cause they play such wonderful christian music.

  • Pretty amazing face.

  • I know this guy from Kentucky Woman, when i was a young teen , which i thought his best ...until...this one.

    We all die , and to leave with something truly GREAT....N.D you have left a song of SUBSTANCE and POWER.Very, very few ever do.

  • un grande! 5*

  • If you love this,check out Robert Plants all the kings horses,equally beautiful accoustic song,perhaps not what you would expect from the Led Zep singer.

  • very beautiful song 5***** thx James for passing it around :))

    thx to williamtepplin for upload this great piece of music!!!

    dear greetings

    Tina XxX

  • i love this song, thankyou James for posting. val.

    Thanks to James for passing this to me!! ((BH)) to you James!! Love ya!!

  • I would like to thank everybody who shared this with me.

    This is a GREAT song and I am a BIG Neil Diamond fan!!!

    Indy

  • Anyone got guitar tab for this great tune please ??

  • Always thought he was merely another singer , until...this song.Did he write it, does he mean it ?Would mean a lot if this was a genuine outpouring from the heart.

  • at 67 years of age, Neil has more "amazing grace" than most performers...beautiful song, but does anyone know if it has any Christian relevance to his personal life? I have loved Neil for over 40 years & will see him in concert in October ( #21 for me)...love, love, love the man...

  • He did an audience on the television not too long ago and if I remember rightly he said he wrote the song for his wife :)

  • I knew it! I knew it was for a woman. Why would this be about God?? Just because he says "Amazing Grace"?? People are soooooo simple-minded.

  • this song is the lyrical equivalent of prozac!:-D"They don't make 'em like they used to!"x

  • Been around longer than most people, and can still hold an audience of all ages.

    Rock on Neil!

  • kewl

  • legend man 5*

    :)

  • great song!

  • my mum loves neil and this

  • best of the best

  • AWESOME =]

  • neil dimond is just a legend all his songs are legendery

  • How long has he been around ? How many years ? And he can still come up with a beautiful song like this. a master at his craft !

  • top song. deffinately a hit. 5*

  • love it best song he has done

  • Yes!!!,,,,

  • This song is 'Amazing'

  • i would love an electric version of this..but not hardcore rock one.

  • "his voice is now somewhat riddled with age" huh? Other than "Solitary Man" I have always asked what's the big deal here. This is the best song he has written and in my oinion the best he has sounded since "SM"

  • check out the song "morningside or done to soon" two great takes..

    geo'08

  • Anyone know who wrote this great song,it seems to be all about our our heavenly Father and Jesus if not, it certainly could be for He is that wonderful.Praise Him.

    Phil.

  • Neil Diamond wrote this for his latest album

  • The Jewish Elvis is now 67--his voice is now somewhat riddled with age--but still he has the amazing ability to write great songs.

    I most certainly hope the King of the Longfellow Serenade has made his peace with Jesus for real! I believe he has.

  • this is such a good song, but not many realise that this refers to our lord God

  • haha Radio 2 rocks Terry Wogan in the morning FOR THE WIN!! he has the greatest Radio voice i have ever heard! more to the song, this song rocks so hard, Neil Diamond is an amazing Musician !

  • they play this all the time on bbc radio two. they are obsessed with this guy

  • I was never into Neil Diamond - (might have liked the odd couple of songs -)

    But this one really stands. Great song and great lyrics !

  • Absolutely beautiful!!!

  • I've liked him since Solitary Man, but this is incredibly beautiful!

  • This is beautiful. I've just listened to the new album - HOME BEFORE DARK. Be advised there is a deluxe edition with 2 extra songs on the CD. Both are fantastic. The songs are WITHOUT HER ( Harry Nilsson covered this) and MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE - two stunningly performed songs. And a DVD with live studio songs - PRETTY AMAZING GRACE,IF I DON'T SEE YOU AGAIN, FORGOTTEN and Paul Simon's THE BOXER. One of the best albums of songs I've ever heard. Beautiful. Well worth paying for the extra's!

  • Neil diamond on form as ever stunning song

  • I love this song.

  • like this check out the kings horses robert plant my other videos,equally great

  • beautiful.

  • w0w

  • Nice. I never particularly liked him before. Im quite liking this though.
