Holly Holy

So what does this song mean?

Young girl named Holly

Peculiar but pleasant

Reverent and empathetic.

Having prayer power from the Lord.

Holy Holly.

Encouraging 

Worthy of trust, bringing healing.

Worthy of a song or two in adulation

And thanks and Love from a man.

Sing a song, sing it loud.

SING. SING.

DA DA da da da

Da dada da dada.

Big sound track etc.

Thanks Neil. Thanks

  • In an interview with the BBC, Diamond said of this song: "What I tried to do was create a religious experience between a man and a woman, as opposed to a man and a god."
  • This features a gospel choir and a string section arranged by Lee Holdridge. 
  • Neil Diamond's music shows up throughout the Netflix series Midnight Mass; "Holly Holy" is used to open the 2021 season 1 episode "Book III: Proverbs."

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.
