I Am... I Said is a very complicated song and its complicated probably because my feelings were very complicated when I wrote it.

I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
Neil Diamond

I fell in love with folk music at Surprise Lake Camp. It was the songs of Woody Guthrie and the Weavers.
Neil Diamond
Image
I've always thought of music as something which gives the words their flight and their wings and the music often comes first, although sometimes I'll have a concept, a title idea, a lyric idea that I want to write and the lyric will come first.
Neil Diamond

My voice is unadorned. I don't try for perfection. I try to be honest and truthful and soulful with the voice I have. If I make mistakes in notes, or there are cracks in notes, I don't fix them. That's the way it is.

When I first started, I worked with three chords in every bar, but I found that tied me down - I'm not a chord-change writer, I'm a songwriter.

Being lost is worth the being found.

I have a lot of confidence, but little Self-Esteem. This has given me a tremendous creative spark because it forced me to keep proving myself.
Neil Diamond
Image
My writing is different. I think it's better. I think it's deeper. But, strangely enough, it covers a lot of the old ground. Maybe it says it in a more sophisticated way ... but I [have written] about basically the same subjects over the years.

Some are born who never need them, Others still who never read them, signs.
Neil Diamond
Image
I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.
Neil Diamond
Image
I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience.

I am, I said to no one there and no one heard at all, not even a chair.
Neil Diamond
Image
While the sun God will may your day, sing as a song in search of a voice that is silent, and the one God will make for your way.
Neil Diamond

I don't pamper my voice. It's part of my body. If my body is rested and healthy, my voice is rested and healthy.
