This was a good story. Great songwriters usually don't have to look far to cure writers block.

So what about the part where he says “reaching out, touching me, touching you” ???

[tabcobalt]

Well tracypierce8202, what about it? The whole line is:" Hands, touchin' hands. Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you." Sounds like something mature couples normally do in a relationship. Nothing to see here.😴

But then, one could extract lines from hundreds of popular songs and make it fit a narrative. For example:

The Who (1970):"See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me"🤣

Meanwhile Neil has probably been laughing all the way to the bank as his net worth reached 300, 000,000.

Sounds twisted. A grown man is inspired by a little girl’s photograph? A love song supposedly written for his wife? So how does this vaguely sound ok? The lyrics sounds freaky as hell “touching you touching me”? Pedophile language. He couldn’t think of a name? Here’s a suggestion “Sweet Marcia Mine” somehow he thought it was ok to say the song was inspired by a little girl? He’s a singer songwriter, I’m not and have a suggestion so if it was truly about his wife so imagine what he could have come up with. Like Gary Glitter with “Do You Wanna Touch Me” straight up pedophile so yeah Neil Diamond doesn’t get a pass. People act with him the same as Michael Jackson & R Kelly both pedophiles but MJ got a pass. How ridiculous is any of this?
