Neil Diamond - I am ... I said - Live at NYC - 2008 - "But I got an emptiness deep inside"

Performer: Neil Diamond. Song: I am ... I said. "Hot August Night/NYC" Live at Madison Square Garden (2008). Micsoda méltósággal és fantasztikus energiával izzik ez a dal!!Katartikus !!Liz:)Lyrics: "L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time,
And the feeling is 'lay back'
Palm trees grow, and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home, but it ain't mine no more

I am, I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
I you talk about me, the story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried, but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being alone

I am, I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still"

Neil's trademark song...the man perservered & wrote his songs taking on performing them. Tin Pan Alley...a cubicle he experienced watching other artists use his music. Neil paid his dues...I am a fan forever.
