I think in my time so far on this earth this man has to be the best singer and song writer I've listened to. It's rare to see and hear the feelings the singer writes about live and even after all the years he sounds GREAT!!! Yah this was a while ago but still..
God, I hate watching my idols getting older.... I'm sure it's just a hang up of mine, but I have been listening to Neil since I was 9 (I'm 41 now :{), oh well, I'm glad he's still around.... I'm gonna be F'in crushed when he's not though... yeah, I know, I'm f'ed up....
This is one very kosher ballad for Mr. Diamond to record, and i say that respectfully. He never tries to do too much, and that's why he's so good at doing ballads. His heart is authentic and pure when he sings, and I admire him for that.
OMG....this is the first version I;ve heard where he stayed away from the" first they say they want you.... HEEEEEEEEE how they really need you" adlibs. it sounds so much better like this without those nonsensical ad libs! thanks for posting this.
Neil Diamond songs always made my life better, no matter where I was, what I was doing or what mood I was in at the time...There's nothing like a Neil Diamond song to capture the human spirit and take it to a wonderful place, whether it's a sad or happy place, because wonderful can be sad too.
I love the way he use to sing it and it was so wonderful to me...Today it's like he's talking through the song and i wish he would sing it like he use to....Hopes and dreams....Christopher.,,,ps..Please pray for bono and his surgery yesterday...Thank you..
U know what ..... this song is CLASSIC .... i listen to rap / hip hop daily & make beats ... but during the week - this song plays somewhere in my rotation .... ( between this and ABBA ya'll should really see the looks i get ) ... but then they say - if Neil gives u inspiration to make our shit tight - then bump that shit ...... lol / i laugh .....
no one else can sing this with the emotion that Neil Diamond feels and shares..

Neil Diamond and Johnny Mathis are the two best male vocalists of the 20th century.

That's when musicians were musicians and performers performed, they had an audience not a bunch of stoned out teenagers

I agree with you that Neil Diamond is a class and style apart, but your remark about stoned out teenagers is like comparing apples with pears.
Remember the shows form the beatles way back in the sixties??? Screaming and fainting teenagers???? it's something from all times and not just today.

I hate when singers change the original phrasing of the lyrics. Great song, but come on Neil, you can sing it better than this!
