是20世纪60-80年代美国最为成功的流行歌手和创作人之一Neil Diamond的歌曲。
在Billboard历史上,Neil Diamond的成绩仅次于Elton John和Barbra Streisand。截至2005年,他的专辑在全世界范围内已经售出了1亿2千万张,这简直是个天文数字(在美国的销量不过4800万张,可见他的影响力是国际性的)。他在1984年入选歌曲创作名人堂。
然而,尽管在商业上非常成功,由于他的整体风格属于典型的民谣+流行摇滚,Neil Diamond在专业的乐评领域并没有得到很高的评价,不过,这并不影响人们欣赏他的歌曲——音乐是否具有革命性和歌曲是否好听基本上是两个不同的概念。

Sweet Caroline歌词:
Where it began,
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along.
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I...
...look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two.
And when I hurt,
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holding you?
Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined,
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline,
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline...
