Neil Diamond sings "Holly Holy" Live in Concert Hot August Night III 2012 Greek Theatre HD 1080p

Neil Diamond has had a lock on a huge following of people because of the depth of the songs he writes and those written for him... Highlighting one of his songs, "Holly Holy" is one of his songs which the lyrics don't necessarily directly relate to the songs meaning...

To one person this song means... "I feel that there is a kind of sacredness in real human love that can take you beyond yourself, and the song celebrates that sacredness. The sun rises in the dead of night because she is the light of his life and her presence illuminates even the darkest places in his soul. The man who can’t walk upright is himself, of course, and her love gives him the strength and self-belief not only to stand up and face the world but to do things he thought impossible (fly). The ‘seed’ is the promise of a love that will continue to grow." To me this person hit the nail on the head... What he stated is the convincing meaning, in my view...

LYRICS:

"Holly Holy" by Neil Diamond

Holly holy eyes, dream of only me
Where I am, what I am
What I believe in
Holly holy

Holly holy dream
Wanting only you
And she come
And I run just like the wind will
Holly holy

Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out, Sing it strong
Yeah! Yeah!

Call the sun in the dead of the night
And the sun gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And that lame man, he gonna fly
And I fly, yeah, And I fly

Holly holy love
Take the lonely child
And the seed
Let it be full with tomorrow
Holly holy

Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out, sing it strong
Yeah! Yeah!

Call the sun in the dead of the night
And the sun gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And that lame man, he gonna fly
And I fly, yeah
God (And) I fly

Holly holy dream
Dream 'bout only you
Holly holy sun
Holly holy rain
Holly holy love
