way to go neil! I’ve been a fan since the early 70’s. What a wonderful singer and song writer. his list of writing top hits for other artists and himself is endless. 12 songs is long overdue and fantastic. Thank the lord for the night time and for neil diamond!

He had me until “frog.” But I found the feeling of being lost between two shores to be (maybe not so) surprisingly relevant, actually.

Muffti hates Neale Diamond but for one fact: he wrote a song so ridiculous in lyrical content which paved the way for one of hte Muff’s favourite bands, Killdozer, to do a fantastic cover. That son, of course, is ‘I am, I said’. Please read the lyrics below and explain to Muffti:

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
An 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
An 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
