Neil, I love you and all the songs you wrote/sang during my lifetime. I am 70+ and named my only son Neil and his twin sister Nicola. Hope they will love you as much as I do.

This man is the greatest singer passionate in all his songs period. I am almost 60 and still can't get enough of him my whole life!

My niece bought Neil Diamond concerts for my birthday most years. We went to his 50th Anniversary concert,which was sadly cut short due to his diagnosis of Parkinson’s. So glad I didn’t know that would be the last f his concerts I would see. He is humble,handsome and AHHHHMAZING! Hell,Yeah!🔥❤️💎

When I heard that he has Parkinsons and is retiring I couldn't believe it !!!! My mom and I saw him 3 times in concert. My mom passed away on 11-20-2017. I miss her so much !!!! I ❤️ U MOM...AND I MISS YOU EVEN MORE!!! Mr. Neil Diamond...thank you for your music 🇱🇷

Bring back my youth & just how privilaged we were to hear his incredible voice & genius music.Songs that will never fade.Just love him. ❤

The "Beautiful Noise" album might be one of his high points of the mid 70s, never tire of it!

Thanks Neil ❤for your love of music and your love for singing Gods Blessings always ❤

Neil, 50 years since I saw you in concert at NMSU, I have carried you in my Heart everyday since then. And there you will stay until my time on this earth is done,,,Stay well and be safe, my friend.

He's 82 and I stillove him

I was there 16 years old… I remember the hot air balloon the helicopter the beautiful sunset and Neil diamond in his pomp…I have been lucky to see live virtually every artist in the hall of fame and this night stands comparison with any of them. What a songwriter, what a singer and what a performer..

His music comes from deep within! Fantastic… I’ve cried many times over some of his songs! One especially is I am, I said! Thank-you Neil!!!!🙏🏼😊❤️

Of all of Neil's songs, this is the one that brings tears--every time. Lost opportunities, lost time, lost dreams; I think we can all identify with it.

If You Know What I Mean (Live In Las Vegas / 2002) Neil Diamond When the night returns just like a friend When the evening comes to set me free When the quiet hours That wait beyond the day Make peaceful sounds in me Took a drag from my last cigarette Took a drink from a glass of old wine I closed my eyes and I could make it real And feel it one more time Can you hear it, babe Can you hear it, babe From another time, from another place Do you remember it, babe And the radio played like a carnival tune As we lay in our bed in the other room When we gave it away For the sake of a dream in a penny arcade If you know what I mean If you know what I mean, babe And here's to the songs we used to sing And here's to the times we used to know It's hard to hold them in our arms again But hard to let them go Do you hear it, babe Do you hear it, babe It was another time It was another place Do you remember it, babe And the radio played like a carnival tune As we lay in our bed in the other room When we gave it away For the sake of a dream in a penny arcade If you know what I mean If you know what I mean If you know what I mean If you know what I mean If you know what I mean, babe If you know what I mean

You can tell by his voice and facial expressions that this was a real memory for him. I love him so much.

My Dad bought this album when it first came out. And played it for the whole family. I was 6. But this was an amazing album. Jonathan Livingston Seagull was earlier and my Dad would ply it and tell me the story and I would cry because of how Jonathan was being treated. Love this singer/songwriter because he was such a huge part of my childhood.

The text, voice and music, just mighty!!

Thankyou, you tube we can always see Neil when we want.

I think Neil was at his absolute peak in the mid seventies

The most underrated entertainer of all time. A legend in every sense of the word.

I still can't get enough of his voice!

A very special gift to the human race

Great performer......

Greetings from New Zealand.One of my all time favourite songs, without doubt.

I first fell in love with Neil when I was 12 years old, the feeling still holds today at 59 years of age! Love his music, can't get enough of it!!

Love love love you Neil❤

One of the greatest singer-songwriter of my generation. Neil always shine like the Diamond you are. Love you

Probably the best Diamond song along with I’ve been this way before. This song starts with an instrument and builds to several instruments to a crescendo of sound so typical of Diamond’s songs. A song of reminisces and tightly held emotions which come up when Diamond sings the chorus. The emotion of passion he always puts into this song shows that it’s always been an important song for him and us, his fans alike. This song was written in 1976, 43 years ago today is 9 July 2019 in 43 years time this song will still find an audience just like other greats including Mozart and Beethoven Thank you Mr Diamond for creating a memory for all of us in this song.. Diamond lives forever Alex Sydney Australia

Was to young to buy his albums but I know most of these lyrics from the radio. Thanks to utube I can see him on stage. THIS MAN WAS, IS, A CLASS ACT.

I was listening to this song in 1995 when the hospital called me to say that my mom had just died. I sat there trying to take it all in while this song played in the background.

The one and only neil diamond,superb❤

Love you Neil Diamond!

I loved rock music growing up. In the mid-60s I heard Neil Diamond's song Solitary Man. Right away I noticed the power of Neil's voice. He's definitely a great one that has endured the test of time.

Playa juntos 😎😍 Cobquecura ,con nuestra música Neil Diamond 😍😍😍😍😍

i'm a Malagasy people (from Madagascar), i'm 40 old now, and i've never found best singer than Neil, i thank God in Jesus to gave him talent, and thank to my dad to let me hear all his songs every Sunday since my 10 old

was in his pocket from first Hot August night live double album but this song did it for me for all time.

@MAD GRUMPYMAN Magician? First I've heard of that. He's got some incredible song writing skills. He was a writer at the Brill Building in NYC along with Carole King and her husband Gerry Goffin and Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield that was ran by Don Kirschner. However, after the Monkees recorded his composition of "I'm A Believer" he decided that he should be singing his own material. And the rest is history.

@MAD GRUMPYMAN He holds a strong belief in his higher power that is probably why his songs contain so many references about that subject. He is incredibly blessed because of his strong connections to his higher power (that is my belief). You do understand?

@MAD GRUMPYMAN Definitely agree with you! I feel horrible and sick to my body because he is inflicted with the illness and terrible things are going on with his body that he has no control over. It's now up to his higher power. Cheers! Peace!

Wat a perfect song Returning to the shelter of evening Pondering but not resting from his constant heroic serenade it comes again. A refrain and a call to look back

He looks so much like two incredibly special people in my life. One I was married to and the other I was engaged to. I love Neal Diamond and all his music.

Sooo' many of his songs touched me deep inside over the years.

The one and only. He never “sold out”, ever

Have you heard Neil Diamond's song "Play Me?" That is another ballad that also has such a beautiful tune and such romantic lyrics.

This song made me emotional as a child, before I even knew what loss was, and before I knew how it felt to have memories that were hard to remember but even harder to let go of, like the song says. And now is certainly no different. Thank you, Neil, for such a powerful song. Your voice alone brings back beautiful memories of my childhood and such a simpler time.

There is just one Neil Diamond, superb! Anita Jackson, SA

Saw Neil at the Forum the other night. Hadn't heard this song in 40 years. It about broke my heart.

I'm shedding a tear when I recall those special nights at home at age 13 when I used to listen to radio in those days, that was 1976..

All the songs of Neil D are all my favorites ....perrrfectly delivered, like this song ...to my horizon, how I wish I was there in front of Neil while singing this song...as if he is dedicating the song to me.... my name is Babes.....

Neil Diamond was underrated back in the day. When he released a song you just knew it was going to be something special.

Beautiful lyrics!

Love that awesome music, especially on the conclusion. Neil Diamond's voice is so distinct. He can sing anything and you know it's him. This song is fabulous.

i have countless cds of neils,, and every single song is worth listening to, such an awesome singer songwriter, listen to just not only his hits but every song,

I will never get tired of this song.

Forgot about this song for many years until I came across it by chance . Instant recall of my childhood and the great times when my dad played Nd on a Sunday afternoon. A great reminder of the greatest man I've ever known. Rip dad.

Can't believe this man just celebrated his 80th birthday!!!

This song is simply perfection in everything: voice, music, emotion, feelings etc. His voice made me cry ... and I don't cry easily on a song!!! I adore that melody, too. All that together makes a pure Diamond! ❤❤❤

Neil, a beautiful song with purpose and meaning of the human spirit ❤. Yes I know what you mean! Beautifly done and orchestrated. One of our priceless gems 💎 al the best to you Neil Diamond 💖

I love him, always 💝💞💖
