Neil Diamond - I Am, I Said

[@greghibbard]

This is such a deeply moving song. It is about screaming out I AM I SAID. It is a desperate cry that you exist that you have meaning that I am I said.

[@maryduffy2014]

lovely song and a lovely manxxxxx

[@AMERICAtheBEAUTIFUL9]

As a native New Yorker , born and raised in Brooklyn - I yearn for the old beautiful New York . The stories and pictures from my parents. It can be a nasty crummy place , but there is some kind of camaraderie that binds the good hearted people of New York. When I hear this song it hits me deep inside. I am almost 50 yrs old and I think that I caught the tail end of nyc's best days. days

Been listening to this gentleman since I was born, thanks to my older brother who had all the albums. I think there is something wrong with people who don't like Neil Diamond's music.

[@scratchers7916]

+Steffen Dass and Uncle...I honestly think Neil would VASTLY differ to both of your negative opinions about those who don't relate to/like his stuff. ND's depth of thought would enable him to know what an individual thing taste is. Life experience, age and numerous other things, mean MANY people enjoy things other than what we might expect or assume they'd enjoy. Personally.....I love this song!
