My brother and I used to listen to this when my father and mother and aunt and uncle all had incurable cancer. Neil kept me alive through all these times. Afterward my brother and I fought in Grenada for Reagan and we were kept alive through the music of Neil Diamond. When my brother died I played solitary man with a high school marching band at his funeral. I love you Neil

That is so heartbreaking and at the same time so so powerful, thank God Neil Diamond existed just for you to get you through that tragic times in your life. I pray your still alive and can read this sms I’m sending you my sister, God bless you so much.😪

My mother also had breast cancer, she's the only person in the world who drives me crazy but she is also the only one who cares. The others don't matter. I served in Operation euphrates shield. Iraqi kurdistan, trench war in Turkey. It was Johnny's rendition that means the most but I always look back on the classic. Now I wander the world alone. Solitude isn't an art form , it's those who know the cost of what we have to do. All I want is an honest smile from a honest soul.

Good song which expresses very well how we feel at times when we are lonely and cut off from friends and family. I had this experience when I went to America to study in the first days I knew nobody and was far away from my family and friends. It lasted till I made new friends there. It is something boring to to go the movies alone to see a picture and to have no one to share with one's experiences. So I wrote them down in a diary I had.

It's an incredibly emotional song,really. He was really at a peak from the Bang Records period until after the "Hot August Nights" times...then he completely unwound it and it took him years to get back to anywhere near his old form. But as a great man once said "Better a has-been than a never-was".

@Brandy13231 7 жыл бұрын

He had a dry spell. I thought he might of exhausted the well, too. Still, here it is 2017 and he is still delivering better material than many. Something Blue, Sonja? and Jimmy. Not the early 20 years, but still great.

@caribman10 7 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I didn't say you couldn't enjoy him. He had, as said below, "a dry spell". If you enjoyed "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", good on you - same for his "acting career". Most of us didn't. But he did what 99% of others didn't - he re-found "the flame". Now if we could just get the royalties and rights problems staright on the Bang album and re-release it! And this song is one of the finest American songs of lost love ever.
