I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growin' 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"
We've heard it a million times.
When it starts we all groan.
When it plays there tends to have been drink taken.
And then.
That Neil Diamond gets under your skin doesn't he.
The boys of Knightsridge, Massachusetts are home for a high school reunion. Adulthood hasn't turned out the way they expected but once they're together again it's like they never left each other's sides. The drinks are flowing, they all want to show off to the prettiest woman in the bar, there's a piano in the corner and one of them just happens to be a classically train pianist.
It's not flashy, it's badly sung by a pile of drunken dudes but it feels real. No Hollywood sheen, no dance moves or spectacular voices, just a rare cinematic capture of the slow end to a night out with your oldest boys.
I love it.
