who was neil diamonds something blue written about

Neil Diamond’s “Something Blue” does not appear to be a famous “about X person” song in the way some of his other hits are discussed, and the available source here only confirms it as a Neil Diamond track and performance, not a specific real-life subject.

What’s known

  • One source identifies “Something Blue” as a Neil Diamond song on Spotify.
  • Another source shows Diamond performed it on TODAY and talked about “Sweet Caroline,” not “Something Blue,” as being inspired by his then-wife Marsha.

Best read

  • Based on the information available, “Something Blue” seems more like a reflective love/songwriting piece than a clearly confirmed song about one specific person.
  • I don’t see a reliable source here tying it to a named individual or public figure.

Quick note

If you meant a different Neil Diamond song, I can usually pin down the inspiration pretty quickly from the title alone.
