Rob Thomas - Her Diamonds (acoustic)

www.cities97.co...
such a cool song.
Lyrics:
Oh what the hell she says
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times
I don't know what Im doin'
Like I don't know now
By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night
Can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don't know what Im supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
Shes down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don't feel right
By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what Im supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
And don't let her see
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
Shes down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
Shell be all right
Shell be all right
Just not tonight
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
Shes down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

I remember when this song came out. My mom was sick with cancer. I cried listening to it wishing there was something I could do for her. Seeing her in so much pain and knowing I couldn't take it away. It's four years later and she is gone.. I still wish I could take her pain away

[@frankishsid2692]

Jordan Cantafio Jordan, Your not alone man. Went through the same horrible thing. I bet what you wished came true every moment you were with her. You were there for her. And I know you saw that in her eyes. Peace brother, I hope this is a consolation to you.

[@vicarious8989]

+Jordan Cantafio same reason I'm here. I don't know how much longer I have with my mom...

[@dominicd.20]

+vicarious8989 sorry to here that. My condolences to you and your family.

[@cmt49829]

Jordan, so sorry for your loss. I can tell you as someone who suffers from an autoimmune disease, and is in pain daily, this song sure hits home.

[@beaumiller499]

Jordan Cantafio Sorry brother

[@MrCantafio]

I would listen to this song constantly when my mom was sick with cancer.. It helped me get so much out that i held inside. She passed from the disease but without a lot of these songs I don't think I would have survived losing her

[@WalterRexAndSofie]

This song perfectly sums up what it's like to truly care about someone who suffers from depression...or to be someone who suffers from depression and have someone who cares for you. The second verse of this song makes me cry every single time I hear it.

[@philipwhitmore6331]

yes i know

[@lauracampbell3980]

Its healing

[@johncave3334]

My mother passed a year ago November. This song always felt like a tune written to her. My mother suffered from extreme depression and she was an alcoholic. I don't ever remember her being happy but sometimes she got through the crisis. The bridge where it says, "...if she find daylight, then she'll be alright, she'll be alright, just not tonight." This was my mom, countless times. She never found her way very often. We never were close, after I grew up. But I never stopped loving her. I wish she had loved me. I wish I didn't miss her.

[@gobake3]

This was written about Mari’s autoimmune disease. I have Lupus, and the lyrics are spot-on!! Thank you Rob! 👍🏼

[@sabrzaasta]

I love Rob Thomas.. and this song means sooo much. My mum recently passed away from cancer, I loved her dearly and I took care of her thru all that awful Cancer treatment.. this song would play, and bring tears to my eyes.. Today, every time I hear this song, it reminds me of her..

[@cindysemblante4411]

I’m living with a chronic kidney disease that is both painful and debilitating. This song has saved my soul from some dark places. I recently dedicated it to my 24 year old daughter who is going through it.

[@kennjd]

God bless 🌹

[@b.m.afaulk8099]

[@fossilsue]

This is a beautiful song. It brought me to tears. Invisible Chronic pain is so hard to handle. Especially when others don't believe believe you! I have several migraines a week and I was diagnosed with Lupus in July'09. So I think I know how his wife is feeling. I also have the most wonderful & caring husband & son. Thank you for this song.

[@lovelyelefant]

I have Lupus as well so as you can imagine this song is special to me. Lupus effects my heart, brain, skin,joints and muscles. The pain is sometimes unbearable and the fatigue is debilitating. My lupus does not just effect me but it effects my family as well. There are times that I am unable to take care of my children the way I would like to. My husband has to do everything sometimes,go to work, come home to cook , clean and take care of the kids and me. This is a very hard disease to deal with

[@alexdiaz4181]

every thing happens for a good reason but we don't know what waiting for us in future. as Allah said in the Qur'an ( perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And God Knows, while you do not know).

[@Turnernpooch2]

[@sonnabird1976]

I seen Rob and Matt perform a snipet of this song on the Rachel Ray show yesterday. He wrote this song for his wife. She has a disease that's not treatable and he wrote this to show his empathy and sympathy for her situation. Poor woman. Glad she has a great man like Rob in her life to help her along and support her.

[@antoniomontana1853]

Story of my life. Someone I love so much have suddenly developed lupus. It's killing me every time I see her in pain. I wish I can help her and just take her pain away but I can't. Fuck this fucking miserable life. This song somehow make me feel better and hopeful. Thanks Rob Thomas

[@nessa43]

Antonio Montana Just be there to listen to them. You can't solve the problem & we know that. We just want someone to listen & hold us as we face the Fear of a life of unimaginable pain. Your loving comment tells me your loved one is a very lucky person to have someone who cares so much. #15yearlupusurviver

[@MariDonnelly]

What a gem. Love this version. Thanks for the upload

[@FerVenomus]

Hell yes!!! I hopefully find a man like this yeah we'll see, his wife is very lucky he´s the best, both are great together..

[@bigb5206]

I was going through what I call my FU&k IT period of my life and this came out and it somehow got me through it. This song touched my soul and made me feel human again cause I was so close to cashing in the big one! I will always remember that and has a place in my heart 💜 Don’t ever stop singing Rob and I will always listen?!

[@angiemullins6813]

I’m there now. This song always kicks me back up

[@vickiemortimer5142]

This is much about the hard times they are going through and how much they could do more but don't know how he really is the best

[@Jeffreygrassi]

I saw him do this in concert in Vegas. Absolutely GREAT!

[@lori7521]

oh yea, and fantastic CD!

[@itsthatonechickagaincallth7843]

My mom had chronic illnesses and bipolar disorder.. I had to raise myself and little brother, take care if the house, etc.. Whenever I get mad about it, I always come back to this song...

[@caberma]

I love it!!! He's a great singer , well a great musician

[@phoenix7060]

He is.Thank u.

[@georgenishaw1476]

It's been awhile. Been there. All done. We all Together. ❤ One love

[@yimmys85]

rob thomas is the man. so understanding. he wins. in general he wins.

[@moonica666]

Tada!! Amazing Performance... can't get any better than that!! Wow...

[@bettyfreeman6080]

I had cancer when this came out. Every treatment was like those weights laying on my stomach 😩 people don't get that

[@Renee6261]

I'm not sure why the song was written, But I can relate it to my messed up chaos life. I Listen to it when I am driving to my next part time home. After losing my brother, getting divorced, losing my home.... I'll be alright, just not tonight is perfect for me. Some people are entertainers and some are artists. Rob Thomas is an artist.

[@DavidVerbout]

He's playin that baby upside down the entire time. :) Still a thumbs up to you for catching it though. :)

[@janelasdedeus]

Pure compassion... gorgeous!

[@SMELLGOODER]

Rob and Matt!! Friggin AWESOME.

[@McDills3430]

Rob Thomas is a very good singer, and this is 1 of my favorite songs ever

[@Crowder7984]

Rob Thomas + Acoustic = Awesome!

[@hanklipsey]

rob thomas' timing is amazing. he comes in a half measure early but it adds so much to the performance

[@332MB]

Hank: I completely agree. It's really subtle -- almost as though he treating those notes as pickup notes into the next measure -- but it adds a great textured quality that I was trying to initially trying to put my finger on. Someone obviously disagrees with us, but so be it!

[@apojukay11]

this guy is one of a kind...

[@sylvianajera7698]

I feel his voice

[@sharilangelsheart]

I love the acoustic version of this song much better than the one with all the excess sounds so clean and pure and Rob has a wonderful voice.

[@MunchieMcGee97]

i have a friend who learned to play on his father's guitar which was for a right hander, and his left handed, it did'nt stop him. he flipped it over for his left handed playing, upside down strings and all and now it's the only way he could play ....and man he can play.

[@JuniorTauvaa]

awesome song and great voice, amazing lyrics

[@sdorwardable]

If you've ever watched the love of your life suffer... this song has amazing meaning... it does to me anyway.

[@lori7521]

LOVE, Love, love this song!!

[@TheCarolinaGurl95]

wow that was beautiful

[@alexdiaz4181]

Hello 👋 kaitlyn How are you doing today

[@lisaadwar8463]

I suffered through the first of the two greatest loses of my life. First, My mom and we were so close and while living in the Twilight Zone, my bff/cuz 3 years apart almost same day. I heard this song the first time the other day because “ one less day” is my new favorite song. I played for my husband. This song is me and my mom and my cuz. The only difference is I am a survivor of their suicides and lived to discover how amazing Rob Thomas is. There is another song he sings regarding his wife and he tells his story at a show and in Atlantic City. Sort of like this a bit.. can so tell me name? I do not want to drive my husband crazy going through 100 songs looking for this one

[@creekwoodrose]

Lupus. It's called a "cruel mystery" and it is.

[@starlitblond]

oh my god.. this sounds sooo good..

[@waxhero8878]

Just amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@skina101]

his voice seems pretty amazing live!

[@LabNYorkie]

Being sick, being in constant pain from chronic illnesses takes a toll on the mind and body. To find someone who loves you and doesn't look at you like you're damaged goods is really difficult. You feel like a burden, like you aren't a real partner in the relationship and you have to be grateful for whatever little the person is willing to do for you. Being alone when you're in a relationship is so much more lonely than being without anyone at all. Finding your value, I think, is the first step to letting go of someone who isn't good for you. It took me years to see that I am not my career, that being childless doesn't make me worthless. And I deserve to be loved just as fully as I love and not one iota less. Being chronically ill doesn't make me unlovable.

[@islanda15]

Couldn't agree more with you!

[@pedaphelps]

great song love the acoustic sounds awesome

[@kennethduarte8026]

God Bless You JUDY miss you so much love you forever Hun I'm so glad you are not suffering anymore God Imiss you so much it hurts so every day 🌹 God I can't wait to we meet again am really lost with out you Judy love of my life never be forgotten my sweet angel 💔🌹 thanks for the best 44 years of my life 🌹🥲

[@Jeffreygrassi]

@moonica666 It was great. Aug 15th of this year. Outside venue at the Redrock Casino. Started about 8pm. He sang the best of his and Matchbox 20's music.
