Read the book and saw the movie 40+ years ago and was moved. But now as a senior watching and listening to this masterpiece brings tears to my eyes. I listen to it every night before falling asleep. What amazes me is that Neil Diamond wrote this score and lyrics at a relatively young age. In my mind, he is a musical genius, love all his music, it has so much "soul".

I never had a chance to see the movie, much less read the book. The songs and music by Neil Diamond, I listen to them over and over. He is the poet! Listening to "JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL" now makes me want to see the movie even more ...

Same here, It is interesting that a lot of the people that loved the book did not like the movie. It turned out that the sales on Neil's soundtrack exceeded the movie box office

This music almost makes love something tangible like a blanket that you can wrap yourself up in. It is not just music but a spiritual encounter. Wonderful, just wonderful.

thank you Karin

When Neil diamond wrote this music he said he was inspired after saying I'm not a seagull how can I. Such an inspiration to all

Absolutely Beautiful!

The most incredible movie!! Both the 'inspiration' AND...THE MUSIC AND LYRICS NEIL WROTE SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS 'CONCEPTUAL DELIGHT!! XX 4.2021.

This film was so moving with a fantastic sound track, I now love seagulls and every time I see one it reminds me of JL.

I still remember the day when my sister and I saw this movie in the theater. Didn't really understand it until I bought the album and did some reading. Right now it's bringing back only GREAT memories! I still have this original album. Sing on Neil!!! :)

it just feels like it is Jonathan Livingston Seagull! Great pictures!!!

Thank you 🙏 found it in college now 77 and need it more than ever

Ich bin seit meiner Jugend(1970) ein bekennender Neil Diamond Fan und immer wieder begeistert von seinen außergewöhnlich guten "Werken". Er ist wirklich einer der besten Musiker unserer Zeit. Man denke nur an "Jonathan Livingstone Seagull" oder seine Hits(mit teilweise extrem guten Texten), die er hervorgebracht hat. Canta Libre, Play me, I am I said, Stones.....und so weiter. Man sollte sich seine Songs auf KZread mit einem guten Kopfhörer zu Gemüte führen.

I loved this movie,soundtrack and landscapes ❤❤❤

40 years have passed since I met Jonathan... Still unconditional ! Thanks Neil Diamond, you are a gem !

This extraordinary three part series touched my spirit in the deepest and most profound manner; thank you for adding such abiding beauty to the world! We have no real idea of just how far reaching the acts we do in the world are and how they can touch and shift the lives of others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

just love it.. no another words to say.... so much spiritual.. WOW... I saw it in 1985 and this love is amazing.... Just full of love

Dear Dennis, I hope u read r comments. R family saw this film n 77 & fell n luv with it. 4 yr's we tried 2 find it & never could.

I cry more because I lost my beautiful 9 yr. old wh dove...she went bk 2 her Creator. My other birds r grieving over her loss as well. luv 2 u Dennis. 03-10-17 Fri.

Saw this movie and the Jazz Singer, many years ago. Like 50 or more years. I contacted Amazon and eventually purchased both these movies .brand new. And they delivered to me in New Zealand. Absolutely Perfect?.

Brilliant....I’ve been looking for this song for years! Bless you Neil ❤️❤️🙏🙏

My parents and friends saw the movie in the theater. One guy fell a sleep throughout the movie. My parents enjoyed it. I was about 11 or 12 then. I bought the soundtrack and always loved it. I guess in the late 80's or early 90's bought the VHS copy of the movie. Yes I see how some could be bored. But me I loved the whole thing. The music and scenery was beautiful. I lost that VHS tape but still had the record. About 5 years found 2 sealed original copies of the album and replaced the my first copy. I still play it. Last week I bought a DVD copy of the movie and look forward to watching real soon. I own every vinyl record of Neil Diamonds.

i loved this album-movie for as long as i can remember...my dad loved it and i guess it rubbed off on me...it still lingers in my mind from time to time... When my dad died we had to choose the songs for the ceremony and i instandly knew that this song had te be played for he loved it!

Ineffable Beauty!!! What a great Joy! Thank you from the Heart! Magamiam

Beautiful. I remember reading the book with my son when he was little - and then I bought the soundtrack. Beautiful in its pure simplicity of spirit.

I have loved this album ever since it came out in 1973. I am compileying it to put on cd. You did a wonderfull job, Great Job.

Thanks Seed52, Jonathan Livingstone Seagull is one of my favorte books growing plus the awesome Music of Neil Diamond made it a fun photography project for me.

What can i say, just awesome......gives us so much love.....

I love the pictures of the gull. He looks like he's having fun.

One of the most special movies ever made, regardless what some filmcritics says, based on their completely ignorance on the subject and seemingly a lack of deep human wisdom.

Neil Diamond singing is so beautiful , Lovely video . Thanks for sharing !!!!

The sharing of another beautifully corralled brilliant musical reminder not singly lyrical but encompassing true genius which continues to echo through another gifted Diamond masterpiece.

Had to do a book report over summer vacation 6th grade 1978. Hated to read, but loved birds. My mom helped me read the book which I still have. page’s falling out spin broken. It has been read many times since then. Saw my first Neil Diamond concert in 1980 and have been hooked ever since that day . Seen him in concert too many times to count & loved every second of every one. Love birds had them my entire life., and study them to this day 8/2020. Have read all of Richard Bach’s books. Brings back lots of great memories..

I wore out 2 8 tracks of this when it came out- this is my all time favorite album.

Wow, what a masterpiece! Heard it many, many years ago

Such a voice

THankyou once more for this wonderful remembrance of Johnathon.

An all time Inspirational film story and Music-abs loved it in 1970s and today even more-Thank you ,TR (Retd Mariner)

I love the seagulls! Thanks!

I think I've saved repeats, can't find the whole thing but thank you this is the most beautiful song and movie I've ever seen and Neil Diamond is fantastic!

J'ai vu le film et cadette à 30 ans et maintenant je le redécouvre à 76 ans. Vraiment émotionnel et sublime.

Fantastic movie, story, music, ...just fantastic!

I still love this album. Thanks Neil !

It still is as amazing as the day I first heard it so beautiful i don't know if i want to cry or smile perhaps both the vid is lovely xx

Música, letra, voz tudo perfeito . Maravilhoso Neil, como sempre.God Bless Vou.

By chance I stumbled on it tonight(I heard the whole suite) and remember what beautiful music was made back in a day. Thank-you.

I read the story book in 7th grade 1970, about Jonathan Livingston Seagull and it made a big impression on me, I never forgot. I don't really remember how the story went so I am going to have to go out and find the book, buy it, and read it again

Still sound just as good the day I first heard it, all those years ago. Beautiful and fantastic.

I think you are right. these words are so beautiful...

Timeless talent, such wholesome music, and so utterly distinct from all others. Handsome in his youth, and even more beautiful on the inside.

Jack, it takes a real man to admit to that. I hope you have now found real happiness. (From an admirer in England!).

Brillint work.

Espetacular! O filme , as músicas e o sentido, Tudo!!!

Peacefull-master-piece ,...!

Totally luv this song!

Das ist Musik aus dem Jenseins...Die Möwe Johnatan, die Musik und der Film! Emotion pur.........

Ik heb deze cd en het ontroert mij steeds weer

LOVE SEAGULLS

too magical for words

Sweet memories!

Makes one rise up and fly with their heart in hand

Every song he sings is like a prayer. God Bless Neil.

J'ai retrouvé ce CD écouté en 1988. Quel bonheur...Merci

Na 50 jaar nog altijd een prachtige film…

I was barely a teen when I seen this in the theatre in Prince Rupert…I still remember never seeing seagulls the same…there are parallels to life and connection to culture…the sense of belonging and the need to be different…I love how Neil Diamond made the music so perfect for the story of johnathan Livingston seagull…this movie should be released to the public to show its beautiful nature and connection to humanity and abilities…

Thanks a bunch Dennis. Great job. What baffles me is why people relate greatness with religion. Give credit where it is due...N. Diamond simply is one of the best singers/songwriters of this century. His voice is in a league of it's own. God or any other imaginary concoction has absolutely nothing to do with talent.

Saw this with a 'girl' who became my wife and gave me a son....I was never man enuf to measure up. I wish I could make it better for each of them. I can only say I'm sorry. Jonathan? You have my soul. I wish you well.

Más de veinte años. Por fin he encontrado la melodía que más me gusta.

Splendid travail, Denis Fisher ! Merci

Moving! Touching! What can one say? Life is worthwhile. Don't spoil it!

He is on a journey much like all of out experiences...revealing, sometimes frightening...but always a lesson in life and the building of our characters...revealing the person underneath the walls we all built up.

Was für eine Traumhafte Melodie und Gesang, das muss ein Genie sein. Danke für Bild und Ton

Sooooo wonderful... I love Neil since I've been 13... Thanks fpr posting! :o)

I was not fond of birds until that day when I met Johnathan !

The seagull needs remembering always

This album just puts your heart in the clouds

FABULOSO !!!

BE LOVE!!!!

MAGIC

1 album on an island..This album

I like your way with words. thank you ajaygoc50, and thank you Dennis Fisher for the very high quality upload. How I love those photographs. Peace. Avi

Profunda, maravillosa y poética . Fuera de lo habitual, un hito.

Fabulous

Inoubliable !❤

Much, much more then the story of a seagull ... In fact is the real story of our soul...

This is one of the reasons I feed the seagulls at the end of the boating season on my local inland lake...one of them might be "him"...watching!

peace

This music makes me feel so smal and litle !!!!!

Thanks. Gracias. Merci !!!

impossivel pra mim ser a mesma depois que vi o filme fernando capelo gaivota.Isso na decada de oitenta. essa musica faz parte da trilha...todas são lindas. são como meu pão de cada dia. sempre me fazendo transceder que bom que sempre existem seres traduzindo beleza e amor pra gente...

Maestro !

That's true !!!!

all way merveilleux°°

Never give up trying

that's "Be", sung by Neil Diamond from the movie Jonathan Livingstone Seagull.. anyone could find the chords?

@beethomozart .. No, this music comes from the talented mind of its composer, Neil Diamond, .. and the inspiration of Richard Bach's wonderful book.

Toujours vivant dans mon cœur après tant d’années ce Jonathan écouté avec tant d’intensité spirituelle , sensuelle et amoureuse durant ces mois où j’étais berçé par l’obscurité de mes sombres années de dépendance toxique.

I saw this film in an Oakland, Calif. Theater, had taken my then 5 to son with me it was absolutely amazing great music and the photos songs are with me to things day! This is to me an analogy of what and how man evolves, using the seagull as the people and how have limited their progress or lack of it is my interpretation of it...I own the album, got it on cd..dream??? We wait...? Who are we to need?? Love this intense exploration of who we are... thank you Niel Diamond for your participation on this great project!!
