The album Moods is a time machine. It always takes me back to childhood. To a soft, safe and happy place. This song most especially. Thank you Sir Neil Diamond. You are truly and deeply missed ❤.

Brilliant

[@markpacey1544]

Nobody will ever come close to the magic Neil showed us at Subiaco Oval in Perth Western Australia some years ago where he sang so many songs he normally does not perform. And I think this gem was one of them. A magical performer that leaves his fans spellbound with every song. Tragic that one that one that has given so much for so many years is now forced to retire from what he loves the most. God bless Neil and I feel so blessed to have grown up in this era of real music from a master of words and music.

Great song, great album, and a great singer. Moods is one of his best albums.

First time hesring this song.

[@franklingreen1024]

I was going to say this is my favorite Neil Diamond song. I then realized there are so MANY favorites. The man is truly a music machine lyrically and musically Moods is one of his best albums..

[@bryanhandymanservice3804]

Yes, Moods is one of his best albums! It reminds me of when I a kid riding in my dad's car on our way to Bridgehampton, LI.

[@cbussery]

Moods, Stones and Serenade got me threw a tuff time readjusting from Viet Nam. Still a fan at 75 years old.

[@ernestosandovalmarquez1769]

THE TEACHER NEIL , LIKE AN NEW MOZART

[@leshemingway3352]

What a great Diamond song from the past. Beautiful!

[@lordofthestings]

I was only 7 years old when this song came out on the Moods album but I remember it. Later, I would play it on my dad's Realistic stereo when I was alone. I didn't hear it for many years and when I recently heard it again it felt like I was back in that time for a moment. I was lucky that my father liked Neil Diamond and I grew up with his albums in our home. After all these years and everything I have been through I can now say that Neil Diamond is my all time favorite singer, songwriter.

[@leshemingway3352]

One of my favorite Neil Diamond classic songs!

YOU are right brother and my favorite song✌👍

Only Neil can sing this beautiful song. He is so amazing all he's written and his beautiful voice. I will love him forever. God bless you Neil. 🙏🌹♥️

[@kevinmcmenemy3713]

I just replied to your comment re 'Sunday Sun' and also the comment from Mark Pacey above on this ND song. I don't know him (Mark), but we're from the same fantastic place, Western Australia. Also known as 'God's gift to the World' - ND was his second!! I hope that (my) observation doesn't offend anyone, and if so. I apologize. Stay happy, stay safe AND don't ever be negative in your thinking.

[@omapam162]

Oh, to pick his brain for where all these magnificent songs came from. His body of work in incomparable to any other. I pray God grants him a long, productive retirement.

[@cherias.4069]

He will not be "retiring"--he will continue on to do what he loves with perhaps even his very last breath,if only out of the Public eye.👍💖

[@omapam162]

@@cherias.4069 Have you read the liner notes from Home Before Dark? I don't think Neil can exist without writing songs...

[@lougriffin6929]

seen this fantastic man live 4 times nothing today even gets near him total talent

[@CoreaKixx420]

Let's not forget that helping to create that magical mood, is the legendary conductor and arranger, Lee Holdridge and the orchestra!!! Thanks a million my friend!!!

[@jimf.9976]

Amen to that . Neil had the great tunes and the moving lyrics but let's not forget the beautiful and captivating arrangements of Lee Holdridge, especially on this one , Play Me, and the ever hauntingly peaceful instrumental ending to Walk on Water.

[@stephenjones6555]

This song always reminds me of my dad!

[@michaelwalker2676]

Captain Sunshine-what an ideal man to be remembered in a song.

[@celticbanner18]

We went to Neil's concert in San Jose last night. I hoped he might sing this song as it is one of my favorites. He didn't, and that was about the only disappointment. He was wonderful! What a great singer, performer, and song writer! I remember arguing with my buddy, Mike Digini, back in (1968) about Neil Diamond. He said that ND was merely a "bubblegum" singer and I told him that ND would be around long after all of his favorites, such as “Moby Grape” were forgotten. Guess who was right?

[@patriciatulloch4252]

The best track ever by Neil such wonderful lyrics love him so much xx

[@manuelgonzales2944]

I am a big ND fan from back in the 60s. I am embarrassed to say I just listened to the live version of this song from "The Essential ND" cd a couple of days ago.I didn't even know about it. I heard this song while driving and so relaxed me that I didn't realize I was driving below the speed limit. Beautiful song.

Beautiful song he wrote with Jesus in mind as he became a Christian However I feel this song is also to show how a nan can be a perfect role model for other younger men coming up I’ve met a couple Captain Sunshine’s.
