This video is dedicated to a very special lady, May Gómez De Paz, who fell in love with this song, Neil Diamond and his music in 1972. This led to a chance meeting with Neil Diamond himself in Madrid, Spain. May has remained a loyal and devoted Neil Diamond fan ever since.

"I’ve always regretted not filming the Hot August Night concert in ‘72, an album so pivotal in my career." - ND (2018)

Hot August Night 1972 - The greatest live performance of all time. Neil Diamond at his electrifying, mesmerizing and hypnotic best.

"Electric ... his audience falls like plums at his feet." - Tone - Daily Variety.

"The lean, sensual performer was A TRIUMPH." - Michael Carmack - Los Angeles Herald-Examiner.

" ... he moved the audience through many moods from joy to sorrow." - Sue Cameron - The Hollywood Reporter.

"More of a triumph, in every measurable way, than his stunning show last summer at the Greek .... Most of all, Diamond gave of himself." - Robert Hilburn - Los Angeles Times.

"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.

"The human voice is the most important instrument at our disposal, yet it is one of the most difficult to understand or define. You either hear it or you don't. It either moves you, or it leaves you cold ... it is more than just a sound ... it is the soul itself." -- Neil Diamond 1974.

PLAY ME
NEIL DIAMOND

She was morning, and I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying beside my bed
I softly said "Come take me"
For I've been lonely in need of someone
As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere
But I don't know where, I don't know where
Come lately

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me,
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night, and what was right
Became me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

[Instrumental]

And so it was that I came to travel
Upon a road that was thorned and narrow
Another place, another grace
Would save me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
