I keep returning to listen to this piece of poignant nostalgia but many times. Beautiful!

At 79 years old, still top 👍🏻 and a voice that touches the heart. I am also a child of the 1968 movement

Kleck Files I saw Bob in concert in Birmingham Alabama when his album slow train was out. Check out J Kleck

I have just now discovered this song (from the French movie "Frères"), and, wow, how totally amazing. Incredible lyrics! Thank you, Joan!

It's taken 13 years to say Damn, I'm gettin' a drink Be right back

I grew up listening to my mother's music. I was born in '65, so I got the good stuff. For some reason, the sadder, more haunting stuff has become my favorite. This is absolutely one of my favorites.

Much as I admired Dylan back then, I think he may have been somewhat of a dick.. Joan I have always admired to this day

The beauty & the aching.

Thank you, Joan, for this painfully emotive song that makes me SO glad I escaped an abusive relationship when I was only 21. Blissfully sad and joyous at the same time. 1st love ….

Well, I'll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Well, you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes, the girl on the half-shell Could keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling all around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that crummy hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague 'Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes, I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Joan Baez

Love this song by Joan Baez, Diamonds And Rust". Such a uniquely beautiful voice. Haunting ethereal music 🎵🎶

Great words 👏

2024 - discovering Joan Baez from her "Brothers in Arms".

A timless love song for 2 lovers who really should of been together for all time,we all love you joan you not only gave this song to dylan but also to all of us to😎

I found out tonight that this was not an original Judas Priest song.

Her poetry got better.

Poor Joan, the horrible hurt is still there, today (2024), and I don’t think it’ll EVER go away.

Oh,das Lied ist wunderschön, thank's very much 😊❤

Cambridge, Mass..1966❤

What a pleasure. 😊

Diamantes e Ferrugem Joan Baez Deus me acuda! Lá vem seu fantasma de novo Mas não é de estranhar É só que a lua está cheia E você resolveu me ligar E aqui me vejo sentada Telefone na mão Escutando uma voz que me cativou Um par de anos luz atrás E me jogou direto no abismo Se bem me lembro, seus olhos Eram mais azuis do que ovos de tordo Você disse que minha poesia era ruim De onde você está ligando? Uma cabine no meio-oeste Dez anos atrás Eu comprei para você umas abotoaduras Você me deu alguma coisa Nós dois sabemos o que as memórias podem evocar Elas devolvem diamantes e ferrugem Você detonou no cenário Uma lenda viva O fenômeno bruto O vagabundo original Você se perdeu em meus braços E ali ficou Temporariamente perdido no mar A Madonna foi sua de graça Sim, a garota na meia-concha O manteria a salvo Vejo você agora se levantando Com folhas outonais caindo ao redor E neve em seu cabelo Agora você está sorrindo na janela Daquele hotel barato Sobre Washington Square Nossa respiração, como nuvens brancas Se funde e flutua no ar Falando estritamente por mim Podíamos ter morrido juntos, ali e então Agora você vem me dizer Que não se sente nostálgico Então me dê outra palavra para isso Você que é tão bom com palavras E em deixar as coisas no ar Porque eu preciso de um pouco desta indefinição, agora Que tudo voltou tão claramente Sim, eu te amei demais E se você está me oferecendo diamantes e ferrugem Já paguei por tudo. Diamonds and Rust Joan Baez God help me! Here comes your ghost again But it's not surprising It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call me And here I see myself sitting Phone in hand Listening to a voice that captivated me A couple of light years ago And threw me straight into the abyss If I remember correctly, your eyes They were bluer than robin's eggs You said my poetry was bad Where are you calling from? A cabin in the Midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You gave me something We both know what memories can evoke They return diamonds and rust You rocked the scene A living legend The gross phenomenon The original tramp You got lost in my arms And there it stayed Temporarily lost at sea Madonna was yours for free Yes, the girl in the half shell Would keep you safe I see you now rising With autumnal leaves falling all around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling at the window From that cheap hotel About Washington Square Our breath, like white clouds Melts and floats in the air Speaking strictly for myself We could have died together, then and there Now you come tell me That doesn't feel nostalgic So give me another word for it You who are so good with words And leaving things up in the air 'Cause I need some of this vagueness, now That everything came back so clearly Yes, I loved you so much And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I already paid for everything

One of the most beautiful song I ever heard, in the voice of an angel!

Dilan.debe mucho a esta talentosa mujer, joan baez

Beautiful song

Judas Priest absolutely killed this tune.

I used to love phone booths . It seemed more important things happened in them back when . Who are the unwashed phenomena now ? Anthem to two greats still moves . Diamonds and Rust forever . You had to be there , I am still living in the Past

Bob said he was flattered that she wrote it.

Só ela canta assim!

Meus ouvidos agradecem pelos muitos dos tempos.

Você some e a musica para.

two legends they had no chance.but sure knew how to sing a song.

cuantos años, cuantos años y aun a mis 78 me emociona igual que la primera vez que la escuche....gracias Joan dondequiera que tu estes.

Love this song great words great singer, beautiful lady

YOU ARE MY HEART 💕🙏💜🙏💕

One of my indispensable loves... I'm glad you existed in this world and left an indelible mark on our hearts. We love you and your brave heart, Joan Baez! With my best wishes... 🌹

joan is my fave singer she has such a fantastic voice i can sit back and relax and enjoy listeniug to her for hours and she is absolutely gorgeous

Bob Dylan has earned a lot of merit in his life, but the greatest of his merits has been to have inspired "Diamonds and Rust". This song!

Toujours aussi magnifique malgré les années qui passent....
