Neil Diamond - Red, Red Wine Lyrics






Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so

Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go

I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, and I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart

I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, and I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart

  1. L.... B....

    Love this man n his awesome music n voice👏👏👏👏🥰🥰

  2. f.... ....

    WTF?? I did not know this was a Neil Diamond song. And I’m old enough to know better. For decades I’ve loved Cherry Cherry, Acapulco, Cracklin Rose, Sweet Caroline, etc etc. Sorry Neil. But I’m just gonna blame the disc jockeys. 😉

  3. M.... I....

    This was OUR SONG for many years. The lyrics are more poignant since my partner died. Neil Diamond a brilliant singer/songwriter.

  5. L.... P....

    Absolutely awesome! Thank you so much!

  6. j.... c....

    Sound better in x1.25

  7. R.... ....

    With a steel guitar and a slight twang, it would have been a big Country hit.

  8. E.... S....

    esta bien aburrido

  9. G.... H....

    Me lo dijo el CHOMBO

  10. k.... j....

    i dont have any idea about this original version :0

  11. j.... d....

    Laundromat brought me here lol

  12. J.... E....

    Yep... just watching 'The Laundromat'. I had to look it up for myself also. I like this version. It is very 'Neil Diamond-ish'. Can't wait to use this on the next trivia night.

  13. c.... w....

    Who’s here because of the Netflix movie “The Laundromat?”

    c.... w....

    Yep! I don't know that this is knowledge I needed. Like that Dolly Parton originated the I Will Always Love You song.

    c.... w....

    chans woolery guilty as charged.

    c.... w....

    Ha ha me too :)

    c.... w....

    I always thought UB40 wrote this song 😱 but yes I stopped the movie just to google this song 😀

    c.... w....

    @Jose Enrique Tarazona Ocharan Just like me :-)

  14. L.... S....

    I learned about this original version from Netflix’s Laundromat. Little fun fact a guy shares with his party while the popular version plays in the background.

  15. E.... L....

    Who’s here because of the movie the laundromat? :)

    E.... L....

    Eli L me

  16. C.... R....

    I had the watch the movie laundry mat to learn that this man wrote a great song that I loved for years

  17. R.... T....

    The movie The Laundromat from Netflix brought me here. I didn't know this was originally a Neil Diamond song

  18. L.... J....

    2019.... Mano arriba si llegaste aquí por los vídeos de: Te lo dijo el Chombo :)

  19. F.... D....

    Wow! I just learnt this song was written by Neil Diamond by watching The Laundromat

    F.... D....

    Me too! That is why I searched on YouTube!

    F.... D....

    I knew it but forgot. My mom had the album (LP) Back in the 70's but watching The Laundromat now so had to hear the original again from my youth.

    F.... D....

    Same here

    F.... D....

    So Neil Diamond is even richer than I thought.

  20. J.... C....

    Steven Soderbergh brought me here.

  21. J.... M....

    Baffled that over 300 people can rate this thumbs down. It's a wonderful sentimental ballad.

  22. G.... ....

    Best version.

  23. B.... L....

    Excellente interprétation. J'adore le côté balade. Et cette voix si particulière.

  24. E.... H....

    Just beautiful 🤗

  25. w.... o....

    :-)

  29. S.... W....

    SHANNON

  30. S.... W....

    THANK YOU SWEET HEART !!!

  31. C.... S....

    There only two Neil Diamond song that the cover version is the better than Neils original and that is this one by UB40 and I'm a believer by the Monkees everything else Neil ROCKS

  32. F.... D....

    Bread, bread, wine. Beautiful song about jesus christ

    F.... D....

    Marszałek Piłwódki I’m screaming that was so funny

  33. T.... S....

    Horrible version why did he record this ???

  34. C.... C....

    2019 and I only just found out this is the original

    C.... C....

    It's 2019 and I only just found out this is the original from watching the Netflix movie The Laundromat.

    C.... C....

    Me too!! Damn which rock have you been living under?..i was living in a cave...😆

    C.... C....

    I just did too

  35. B.... T....

    Never heard this version before and I don't know how I missed it. Wow Neil!!!!!

  36. N.... A....

    I will be honest. I just found out one month (july-2019) ago that Neal diamond recorded this and also probably wrote it . I first heard UB40 first many years ago. Iam sorry Neal but I first heard it from UB 40 and I have ALLWAY been stuck on it even today iam Still listening to it! RED RED WINE

  37. A.... L....

    Why did this version do less well in the charts than UB40s? Answer I suppose is that people prefer 'happier' sounds and don't like to be reminded of the broken hearts that love can often leave behind.

  38. B.... S....

    Worst famous singer ever

  39. V.... ....

    I don’t know why I like this sad, aching version better. Lol!

  40. m.... ....

    En español con los moonlights excelente cover

  41. M.... M....

    Saludos para quienes investigan sobre la música

  42. J.... ....

    Louie Van gaal

  43. C.... K....

    Beautiful

  44. E.... C....

    still kinda prefer ub40 cover i dunno i feel like the lyrics are better in a reggea theme i think it suits it

    E.... C....

    reggae is great but they removed all emotion reflecting the lyrics.

  45. A.... K....

    God gives us a voice to sing.  Neil Diamond is so talented. Such a performer /writer! Legend in this world. Jesus Christ sang!  Matthew chap 26:verse 30.  YES He did right before he gave himself over to his enemies so that they could crucify Him  and we could LIVE!.  And that song He sang gave thanks to God for all God gave. It was Psalm 118...it is an everlasting "GOODIE"

    Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel.

And He would be crucified and die and rise from the dead the third day. Jesus had to die. His death and blood were both required to pay for all sins once and for all time.

    R.... M....

    especially his BANG records output... amazing.

  48. J.... A....

    Não olhes para o vinho quando se mostra vermelho, como se ele desse sua cor ao copo. Ele pode até deslizar-se suavemente agora, mas, no seu fim será amargo. Ele golpeia como serpente venenosa.

    UB40 version is better, it just sounds so awesome

    The Hot August Night version is by far the best in my book. (Original Hot August Night Concert).

  76. M.... R....

    "Red Red Wine" brought me here.
    Covers: Neil Diamond in 1968.
    UB40 in 1984 & 1988 (#1).

  77. B.... G....

    I love UB40's version. Their reggae style never gets old. That being said, I really love this version as well. It's so 60's, and the "feel" is so satisfying. I just wish Neil's version was a little longer.

  78. A.... W....

    Perfectly done, that's DIAMOND.

  79. P.... G....

    I could hear some dumbass millennial saying hey he's doing that song UB40 wrote? Or Peter Frampton is sin'ging that song UB40 wrote?

  80. M.... G....

    Beautiful song, beautiful voice. I'm obsess with this song.

  81. S.... F....

    Sounds like reggae guitar was added

  82. C.... F....

    ... /... ¡¡¡ Canciones como esta... *POCAS !!!*

  83. M.... G....

    RED RED WINE FOREVER

  84. M.... G....

    This version definitely better than ub40 and BOB MARLEY.

  85. M.... G....

    Back here after 1 year. Love my NIEL DIAMOND

  86. A.... H....

    Red, red wine
    Go to my head
    Make me forget that I
    Still need her so

    Red, red wine
    It's up to you
    All I can do, I've done
    But memories won't go
    No, memories won't go

    I'd have sworn
    That with time
    Thoughts of you
    Would leave my head
    I was wrong
    And I find
    Just one thing
    Makes me forget

    Red, red wine
    Stay close to me
    Don't let me be alone
    It's tearing apart
    My blue, blue heart

    I'd have sworn
    That with time
    Thoughts of you
    Would leave my head
    I was wrong
    And I find
    Just one thing
    Makes me forget

    Red, red wine
    Stay close to me
    Don't let me be alone
    It's tearing apart
    My blue, blue heart

  87. M.... H....

    Did Neil Diamond have a drinking problem?

  88. F.... M....

    Neil daimond, me lembra um grande amigo que partiu

  89. f.... ....

    Wow never knew Neil did this song originally. I personally prefer UB40's version but this is still great!!

  90. Z.... S....

    I'll probably always biasly love the UB40 and Bob cover over orginal because I grew up hearing those. Not this one, tho my parents love him, they didn't play him around me. But this orginal is amazing.

  91. R.... V....

    I like the red red wine from the 80s ub40 one sucks

  92. A.... H....

    One of my favorites. Makes me cry. So beautiful and heartfelt. Thank you, Neil. The memories never leave, they lessen in intensity, but they never leave.

  93. B.... ....

    SecretSpaceProgram.com and MichaelSalla.com

  94. w.... b....

    brilliant!

    w.... b....

    ...YES ...

  95. M.... A....

    Not my favorite song by Neil, but WAY better those lame white-boy faux-reggae poseurs U-B(arf) 40(times) and their "Red Red Whine"....

  96. f.... j....

    I thought Bob Marley had made this! Go figure.. still a hit in both versions💎💎

  97. W.... O....

    Wine nor drugs takes away the hurt, Only love can break a heart. only love can mend it again I look  at life this way I got along before I meet you I can do it after your gone God made more than one

  98. P.... E....

    Reminds me of a drunk Christmas....good times

  99. M.... A....

    Didn;t realise Neil sang this. Thought it was a UB40 original. This is so much better.
