“I’ve always liked this song with its dancing typewriter and happy beat. It hides the pain of the marital discord behind the lyrics.” - ND

I'M SAYIN' I'M SORRY
NEIL DIAMOND

I'm sitting up here and drinkin'
She's sittin' down there and thinkin'
Got on her tape of Evita Perona
And my Smith Corona
Keeps saying I'm sorry
I'm saying I'm sorry
And then I'm saying goodnight

She's sittin' up there and fumin'
She thinks I'm something inhuman
She'd rather be with Paul Newman
I know her
And my Smith Corona
Keeps saying I'm sorry
I'm saying I'm sorry
And then I'm saying goodnight
Good Night
Good Night

Baby, you know that I love you
All right
Gonna be alright
Let's call it a lesson we've learned

She's not an easy forgiver
Could throw myself in the river
She send me back do it once more
An encore and what's more
Use the back door

Well, I'm saying I'm sorry
I'm saying I'm sorry
And then I'm saying goodnight
Good Night
Good Night

Baby, you know that I love you
All right
Gonna be alright
Just call it a lesson we've learned

She's sitting up there and waitin'
Hey dummy quit hesitating
Take off that tape of Evita Perona
Turn off that corona
And tell her you're sorry
I'm saying I'm sorry

And then I'm saying goodnight
And then I'm saying goodnight
And then I'm saying goodnight

_____________________________
Forever in Blue Jeans is a song by Neil Diamond which was co-written with his guitarist Richard Bennett. This up-tempo track, released as a single by Columbia in February 1979, was taken from the previous year's Neil Diamond album You Don't Bring Me Flowers.

According to Cotton Incorporated Neil Diamond might have been right when he named his 1979 #1 hit Forever in Blue Jeans: 81% of women are planning their next jeans purchase to be some shade of blue. [1] The song, needless to say, has been used to promote the sale of blue jeans, most notably Will Ferrell, impersonating Neil Diamond singing, for The Gap.

You Don't Bring Me Flowers is an album by Neil Diamond released in 1978 to capitalize on the success of the title song, a duet with Barbra Streisand, which had originally appeared as a solo recording on Diamond's previous album, I'm Glad You're Here With Me Tonight.

Track listing:

* 1. American Popular Song
* 2. Forever in Blue Jeans
* 3. Remember Me
* 4. You've Got Your Troubles
* 5. You Don't Bring Me Flowers
* 6. The Dancing Bumble Bee / Bumble Boogie

NEIL DIAMOND CENTRAL WEBSITE -

DEDICATED TO NEIL AND HIS BEAUTIFUL AND LOVING WIFE, KATIE.

“I always thought that this would make a good title for an autobiography, but as a songwriter, I was drawn to try it as a song and save all the work involved in writing a book. Well, I learned that a song is one thing and a book is another. I guess I’ll have to write the book now.” - ND

Canadian Olympic Ice Skater Brian Orser -

THE STORY OF MY LIFE
NEIL DIAMOND
The story of my life
Is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
And ends the day you leave

The story of my life
Begins and ends with you
The names are still the same
And the story's still the truth

I was alone
You found me waiting
And made me your own
I was afraid
That somehow I never could be
The man that you wanted of me

You're the story of my life,
And every word is true
Each chapter sings your name
Each page begins with you

It's the story of our times
And never letting go
And if I die today,
I wanted you to know

Stay with me here
Share with me, care with me
Stay and be near
And when it began
I'd lie awake every night
Just knowing somewhere deep inside
That our affair just might write

The story of my life
Is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
It ends the day you leave

Me and you are subject to
The blues now and then
But when you take the blues
And make a song
You sing 'em out again
You sing 'em out again

Song sung blue, weeping like a willow
Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing,
But you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it get to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Me and you are subject to

NEIL DIAMOND CENTRAL WEBSITE -

NEIL DIAMOND'S SIGNATURE SONG

Did you ever read about a frog
Who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about me
The story's the same one

'I Am... I Said', took four months to complete. I knew it had great potential and I was unwilling to accept anything but the raw truth in the lyric. It was a daily battle to put this song and those sentiments on paper, but when it was done, it turned out the be one of the most satisfying songs I had ever written. It was nominated for a Grammy and still gives me chills when I perform it. - ND

THE CHAIR: The chair is a reference to the psychiatrist's chair. Diamond battled with this song for 4 months following a near-breakdown after divorce and a move from New York to Los Angeles.

His failure to land the part of Lenny Bruce in the movie ‘Lenny’, left him close to breaking point and Diamond was depressed. Diamond eventually took a 4-year sabbatical from performing after his landmark appearance at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles in 1972.

'I Am... I Said' has a far deeper meaning than most casual listeners imagine. The song is a masterpiece by a great songwriter. By his own admission, Diamond spent months in psychotherapy and this song explains wonderfully his thoughts and feelings at the time. In Gestalt therapy, a patient projects his thoughts into an empty chair while a counsellor looks on making notes. This may well explain the meaning of the word chair. It is too easy to dismiss the 'chair' as a trite attempt to make a rhyme, but Diamond is nothing but meticulous in his lyric writing and he has said that 'I Am... I Said' underwent countless rewrites until it said exactly what he wanted it to say. Diamond no doubt felt so alone and alienated that he must have felt that no-one was listening to his tortured cries... not even the (psychoanalyst's) chair.

'I Am... I Said', this is the most difficult song Neil has ever written because of its deeply personal emotions. It was a daily battle for Neil to write this song and his sentiments on paper. It is a very complicated song, which tells of feelings lost, full of questions, doubts and insecurities. The lyrics reflect a need to return home, to return to one's roots and original security of life, while realizing that one can never go back because time changes things. Neil considers this song as the best song he has ever written. And myriads of devotees around the world would agree with his opinion. It took Neil 4 months to complete this song although he spent many hours each day, seven days a week on it, writing essays about his feelings to finally form each line of lyrics describing loneliness. Song writing was a compulsion for young Neil. As with any creative endeavor, songwriting is a personal reflection of the writer. Neil Diamond was alone because he wanted to be be alone, he was afraid of having people come too close to him as he didn't have much self-confidence at the time when he wrote 'I Am'.. I Said'. - Prof. Dr Karin Thieme

I AM... I SAID
Neil Diamond

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is lay back
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back

Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays,
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home,
But it ain't mine no more

I am... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am ... I cried, I am ... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog
Who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about me
The story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being alone

I am... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am... I cried
I am... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
I am... I said
I am... I cried
I am...

And the tune can be sung and the words all rhyme
Deedle-ee deet deet deet deet deet deet deet dee dee

And he'd hide in a house and he didn't say much
Deedle-ee deet deet deet deet deet deet deet dee doo

And like a man with a tiger outside his gate
Not only couldn't relax but he couldn't relate

I enjoyed the outstanding theatrical experience of my life, due to the unsurpassed and almost hypnotic talents of Neil Diamond. - James A Doolittle - General Director, Greek Theatre Association.

Hot August Night 1972 -
He knocked them dead. One of the greatest albums ever made. Neil came through a cloud of smoke and the audience just exploded. It was the first time I saw him confident on stage. That was chemistry. Hot August Night was the big turning point. That magnetism that people think of with Neil Diamond was born on that night. - Lee Holdridge - Composer and conductor collaborated with Neil Diamond on the film score for Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

????Best Soft Rock Playlist:

Lyrics:
Where it began, I can't begin to knowing
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
Then spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I'd be inclined
To believe they never would
But now I
Look at the night and it don't seem so lonely
We filled it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm holding you
One, touching one
Reaching out, touching me, touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I'd be inclined
To believe they never would
Oh no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could

Neil Diamond Cherry Cherry Lyrics

2:42

Cherry, Cherry is a song written, composed and recorded by Neil Diamond. The song was arranged by Artie Butler and produced by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich. It was issued as a 45 single in 1966 and became Diamond's first big hit, reaching #6 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart, in October 1966, and the Cash Box chart. Worldwide sales were said to have reached over one million copies. Ellie Greenwich came up with the chorus and can be heard as the prominent background voice. Diamond has stated that the song was inspired by an early relationship with a significantly older woman.
In 1973 a live recording of Cherry, Cherry was issued as a 45 single from the Neil Diamond live album Hot August Night (1972). The live version hit #24 on the Cash Box chart and #31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Rolling Stone would later label Cherry, Cherry as one of the greatest three-chord songs of all time.
Session guitarist Al Gorgoni (who later played on The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel and Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison) contributed to the song.
Two versions of Cherry, Cherry have been released. The version familiar to most listeners was released by Bang Records in 1966, and was recorded as a demo, with Butler on keyboards, and Greenwich on backing vocals. The other version, with different lyrics and originally intended to be released as the single, was finally released by Diamond and Sony Music Entertainment in 1996 on the compilation album In My Lifetime.

Written by: Neil Diamond

Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know its growin' strong

Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you

Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' me

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
I believed they never could

Sweet Caroline is a pop song written and performed by Neil Diamond and officially released on September 16, 1969, as a single. There are three distinct mixes of this song. The original mono 45 mix had a loud orchestra and glockenspiel compared to the stereo version on the Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show LP. The third version was a remix found only on the initial CD release of Neil Diamond's His 12 Greatest Hits. This version has the orchestra mixed down very noticeably and has the background vocals mixed up. It has a longer fade as well. The song reached #4 on the Billboard chart and eventually went platinum for sales of one million singles.

In the fall of 1969, Diamond performed Sweet Caroline on several television shows. It later reached #8 on the UK singles chart in 1971. In a 2007 interview, Diamond revealed after many decades that the inspiration for Sweet Caroline was President John F. Kennedy's daughter, Caroline Kennedy, who was eleven years old at the time. Diamond sang the song to her at her 50th birthday celebration in 2007.
