Neil Diamond — When His Own Music Left a Legend Breathless
There are moments that stay with you forever — and this was one of them. “THERE WAS A MOMENT WHEN I COULDN’T BREATHE… AND THEN THE TEARS CAME,” Neil Diamond confessed, his voice trembling as he recalled the instant he heard Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson breathe new life into Song Sung Blue.
The melodies that had followed him through an entire lifetime, when retold through other voices, suddenly unlocked a door of memories he believed had long been safely closed. From early joys to long nights on stage, from quiet losses to unspoken victories — everything surged forward in a wave of emotion that brought even the creator himself to his knees.
This was not simply a moment of sadness, but one of healing: when a song, carried by different hearts, restores its original meaning and gives the artist a new way to see his own life reflected back at him. Neil Diamond, the man who gave the world timeless melodies, found wholeness in hearing his work delivered with honesty, vulnerability, and love.
