Neil Diamond If You Know What I Mean 1976

[@vernagooden3144]

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.

[@Anne-mo7vc]

That’s really special. I gave one of my sons Neil for a middle name, too.

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.

[@XFLexiconMatt]

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

[@ShelleySmith-f1z]

Yes Neil, I know what you mean...❤❤❤

[@nouveaudemarrer9128]

I still can't get enough of his voice!

[@DonnaBove-b4h]

One of my favorites…the words and beat from the orchestra create such an immense feeling of emotions. It’s just beautiful!

[@denisecranson831]

I've loved Neil all my life. He's just incredible.

[@randyharmon717]

This album along with his great music from the sixties got me to attend his show in Las Vegas opening the Aladdin. Great performance as always later I’d see him with my wife in the Hamptons. My hearing got a little worn after being a little close to the stage but whose complaining it was fantastic, memorable. Thank you thank you

Wow this morning as i was driving to take my documents to the plane i heard this i turned it up Great song NIEL diamond God bless ur career Love all of ur hits

[@griffinite21]

I never thought this song could be improved, but seeing ND sing it in leather pants... 😍😍😍

[@REALcatmom]

I know, right?

[@petrslivinski7481]

@griffinte21 Neil Diamond's a very "modern" man. His songs are beautifully written and arranged.

[@petrslivinski7481]

@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.

[@petrslivinski7481]

@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?

[@petrslivinski7481]

@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!

That was absolutely incredible. The lyrics, the meaning the depth the singer the music, all rolled into a beautiful haunting rock love song. No one could do this better than Neil himself, if you know what I mean........

[@uncatila]

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

[@anuteamsterium]

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

[@pwalkerfittedbedrooms9080]

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.

[@lyndelljones5483]

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.

[@cynthiaalarcon2614]

I love Neil Diamond and this song is extremelly romantic and blue, but is incredible!

[@rjjcms1]

My dad used to play one of his albums with this on,mostly in the car,in the late 70s. This song just happened to pop into my head this morning so I had to play it on here.

[@gailcrowley4230]

Incredible song …….this song is so about a simpler and beautiful time where values mattered and it all made sense……I think Neil is really singing about us feeling this……simple but so profound!!!!!!!!!

[@geri0756]

Er hat ja so eine starke Stimme. Ich höre ihn heute noch gerne.

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!

Oh Kathleen, how I wish I was there at this performance. I love the man, his music and everything about him. But the outfit - - it is gorgeously without a doubt the sexiest pants and shirt I have ever seen him wear. Thank you for this video I will cherish it forever if you know what I mean!

[@hwrk777]

God, I love this song.

[@lyndagwyer8842]

This song stops me everywhere, I hear it and it pulls me in. I want to cry, it speaks to me. It’s so powerful, emotional, haunting and takes me way back. The best.

[@annebologna666]

Definitely a legend !

[@musicmanthatlikesoldandnew7324]

I’m 14 if u guys in ur 50s and 40s I love him soooooooo much more than anyone I play guitar mostly Neil diamond 💍 but just this year when he turned 77 he announced he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and I had tickets to see him on the 50th anniversary tour

[@wildyone172]

I know..such a shame. Ive had the privilege of seeing him twice..20 years ago and about 8 years ago. He was fantastic. You have good taste. I was brought up on this..woken up on sunday mornings as a teenager by my dad blasting Diamond out from 9.30am 😀

[@cathynuytten798]

Music man That likes old and new music So sorry you didn’t get to go to his concert before he retired. My husband and I went in October. Just two months before his announcement. I knew there was something wrong but he gave a fantastic show nonetheless. I became a fan at about 13 or 14 and have loved him ever since. He played a concert in a rather small town by today’s standards about 90 miles away from my home town. My brother was there going to college at the time. My parents wouldn’t let me go.... I was too young. It was the early 70’s so that explains that. I would have given anything to go.

[@harleynightster1449]

Sorry for your loss. I've been waiting 15 years to see him. I finally got to see him 50th anniversary tour in August at the forum in la just before he retired. I you third row tickets. It was awesome.

[@alexchiswell4951]

Yes Music Man I was about 14 when I liked Diamond too My mum played him a lot from when I was around 5 years old. I’m 50 now and have listened to many artists but Diamond is always there when I need to listen to some pure orchestral music along with a good rhythm. Keep on enjoying and discovering his hidden songs. Kind regards Alex in Sydney 9 July 2019

[@jackiemcmeekin6551]

I was so sorry to hear that he has ‘Parkinson’s Disease’. I just pray that he responds to treatment. There have been some significant strides in treatment. His loving wife and children and loved ones, including millions of fans, will help him through this challenging time. 🥰👏🙏

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

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..
