Morningside

Neil Diamond has long been one of my all-time favorite singers.  Even when I was a teenager and he was just getting started, I liked him.  He has matured over the years and mellowed into a singer who sings from experience and isn't afraid to sing about the things in life that hurt.   Morningside is such a song.  It is so sad to hear about a father who made a table with his own hands, carved it and inscribed it for his children and when he died, no one wanted it.  Like a lot of Neil's songs, the lyrics often touch my heart and stir memories or something inside that I can relate to.  Like his song, Brooklyn Roads, Iam, I said, and Red, Red Wine.  Good singing.
