Esta canción de Neil Diamond se ha convertido en una signatura en los años más recientes, como lo ha sido durante bastante tiempo "I am... I said". Esta versión emerge de las primeras sesiones de grabación para la edición de "12 songs" (2005) y verá la luz en el cd "12 sketches" (2006). La letra de esta versión alternativa (casi acústica) es ésta:
Hell Yeah (primeras tomas/2005)
If you're thinking that my life
Is a hoot and a holler
From the top of the day
To the stop of the night
Say it's ringing like a bell
Any you only want to follow
Believe me when I say
I'm just trying to get it right
Still I think about myself
As the luckiest dreamer
When they're asking me to tell
Is it worth what the price I paid?
You can hear me say
Hell yeah it is
I sing it loud
I loved it all
And I'm not too proud
To play my song... just let it go
Hell yeah this crazy life around me
It confuses and confounds me
But it's still the only one I'll ever know
Hell yeah it is
If you're asking for my time
Isn't much I can give you
Been around a good long while
So I gotta make it fast
Time is all we'll ever have
But it's gotta have a meaning
Just be careful what you spend
Cause it never gonna last
Tho you wondering out loud
If you ever gonna make it?
Can you ever work it out?
Will you ever see the plans?
Ever get your chance?
Hell yeah you will
Someday you'll fly
You can reach right out
And touch the sky
Just give it all
Can't be afraid
To learn that life's the thing that's made for living
Love's a thing that's made for giving
Give it all away and have it still
Hell yeah you will
I've been living in a bowl
With a lot of people staring
At my feet on shaky ground
And my head up in the sky
But it's where I want to be
Got a life it's full of caring
With a song to fill my day
And a girl to fill my life
And if they ask you when I'm gone
Was it everything he wanted?
When he finally traveled on
Did he know that he'd be missed?
Was it on his list?
You can tell them this
Hell yeah he did!
He knew it all
He walked that line
Never had to crawl
He cried a bit
But not for long
Hell yeah, his life was like a big old apple
And his glass was always half full
But the piece is right and made it fit
Hell yeah he did!
Hell yeah he did!
Hell yeah he did!
