I love Neil Diamond and this song triggered my wanderlust a lot. Also, his voice always touches my heart in a magical way. A great singer, composer, and musician in general with a lot of charisma. Have a great Friday, dear friends and enjoy the weekend.
I am… I said – Neil Diamond
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”… I said
Nice song π

Erika, my wife and I also love Neil Diamond. She has actually seen him in concert. This is my favorite stanza from this great song:
But I got an emptiness deep inside
And Iβve tried
But it wonβt let me go
And Iβm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being alone
Take care, Keith
