The Discovery That Stopped the World
It began quietly — in a small Los Angeles storage room filled with vintage studio reels and dusty lyric sheets.
Among them, archivists uncovered a tape labeled only:
“You’re Still Here – ND + A.D.”
When the reel spun, the room fell silent.
Two voices emerged — one instantly recognizable: Neil Diamond, the other softer, younger, and filled with emotion.
It was his late adopted daughter, Amara Diamond.
No one had ever heard this recording.
For decades, the family believed it was lost.
Now, it had returned — a message from beyond, sealed in harmony.
“It felt like hearing them breathe again,” said the family’s spokesperson. “Like time folded in on itself.”

A Duet Between Earth and Heaven
The song opens with Neil’s voice — weathered yet warm, like sunlight through an old window.
Then comes Amara’s — pure, soulful, carrying the same poetic tenderness her father was known for.
Their voices blend effortlessly, exchanging lines that feel like conversation more than performance:
“If love is forever, then you’re still here.
In every song, in every tear.”
It’s haunting and holy — a lullaby sung between generations.
Producer Rick Berman, who remastered the track, described it as
“The most intimate recording I’ve ever touched — you don’t just hear them, you feel them.”
The Father, The Daughter, The Legacy
Neil Diamond, now 84, stepped back from touring in 2018 due to Parkinson’s disease, but his legacy continues to echo through music.
Amara, whom he adopted in the early 1990s, shared her father’s love of storytelling.

Before her passing in 2016, she had begun writing songs inspired by his timeless melodies.
Her death left a void in the Diamond family — and in Neil’s heart.
When the tape resurfaced, it felt like destiny.
“He couldn’t speak for a long time,” a family member shared. “Then he said, ‘She’s singing with me again.’”
The Release That Moved Millions
When “You’re Still Here” was released online, the reaction was immediate.
Within hours, the track topped global streaming charts, and tributes flooded social media.
One fan wrote:
“It’s more than music. It’s love that outlasts life.”
Another shared:
“Neil’s voice feels older, wiser — and hers, eternal. It’s like hearing time itself singing.”
The accompanying video, directed by Sophie Muller, features archival clips of Neil and Amara in the studio — laughing, writing lyrics, harmonizing.
The film ends with footage of an empty piano bench, bathed in soft light, as the final notes fade.

In a rare public statement, Neil said simply:
“Some songs are written — others are given. This one was given.”
Critics call “You’re Still Here” not just a lost gem, but a gift — a testament to the power of love and memory.
It reminds us that even when voices fall silent, the music — and the love behind it — remain.
For four minutes and twenty-two seconds, time stands still.
A father and daughter sing once more, not across years, but across eternity.
Because real love doesn’t end.
It simply changes key.
And somewhere between heaven and earth, Neil and Amara Diamond are still singing.
