I suppose that being moved to write a song is more applicable to me, I have to be moved, I have to have a reason to write a particular song.

Hands, touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you.

Love is still a simple act of faith, and a faithful heart is always worth the wait.
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
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight by the fire all alone you and I. Nothing around but the sound of heart and your sighs.
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 fell in love with folk music at Surprise Lake Camp. It was the songs of Woody Guthrie and the Weavers.
Neil Diamond
Image
Well, I Am... I Said was a very difficult song, very difficult because I really had to spend a lot of time thinking about what I was before the song was written.
Neil Diamond
Image
I've spent my whole life trying to find out who I am, so I could express that through the music.
Neil Diamond
Image
Shame, it comes in every size, touches many lives, knocks on many doors.

Then come and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.

When I need my wife or when I need companionship or someone to talk to, I need it, like, now. So my wife will have to give up whatever she's doing at that moment to tend to my needs. And in the same way, I would tend to hers. That's not such an easy thing to do.
