The Ballad of Saving Silverman

I was really upset that I missed this in the credits or something, but it was unreleased until a week ago on Neil Diamond’s 50th Anniversary Collectors Edition set. According to Diamond: “I didn’t ask anybody about it or tell anybody about it, but I wrote this song while we were doing the movie,” Diamond says. “I liked it a lot, but I thought maybe [the movie] needed a little something from the heart, rather than being clever.” After the movie came out, Diamond played the song for director Dennis Dugan, who said he would have likely used the song if he’d known about it.
