Rob Thomas - Her Diamonds (Official Video)

He doesn’t make music to be rated, Rob Thomas sings because he has to. He is the real thing. The hundred million bucks probably helps but I bet you anything he’d be singing in a Subway station if he couldn’t sell out stadiums.

This song was written by a man who truly loves his wife who is battling Lupus. Her Diamonds hit the charts in the middle of my wife's 14 month battle with cancer. I feel every word in these lyrics, sobbing at the end of the song. On Labor day 9/3/12 my dear wife could "take no more." She too tried her best -never complained, just pressed forward bravely. I willl miss her and her strength for the rest of my life.

[@LotiStaggs]

I too have suffered with systemic lupus with rare lung involvement for 35 years. I have always loved Rob Thomas and "Her Diamonds" has always been one of my Favorites. Never realized until now it was wrote by a man for his wife with lupus. I am so fortunate to have a husband who loves me good, bad or indifferent, "To the moon n back!" Thank you to the songwriter and to Rob Thomas for singing this song. Please raise awareness for people suffering from this terrible disease. And those of you that have lupus "Keep Fighting."

I didn't know what this song was about. I thought it was about depression and the battle every day to feel happy. Worried about your partner. I got it wrong, but Rob Thomas got it right. Beautiful song by a great artist.

[@Cielinabox]

Great music can be interpereted in so many ways. So it wasn’t wrong, it just resonated with you differently 💕

[@megantouchton4636]

I agree with dinsfire. As for myself, it is the waking from the depression that comes with shutting down emotionally, and the transition of, well, thawing back out. This song tells the story of how that would be...with someone standing with her/supporting her through that process.

[@beeobee100]

I know rob. He tied to show the emotion and love he has for his wife by writing and performing this tribute to her. Many of us go through pain in life because of a family member's health problems. I did so with the loss of my wife to melanoma after 60 years of being married and living a wonderful life up to the end. If I could express my feelings to her in a song, I would want it to be as powerful as "Her Diamonds"!!!

Oh Mr Johnson, Mrs Johnson is definitely with you wherever you are. I have SLE Lupus, Fibromyalgia & Lyme disease (that was certainly a surprise, have no idea how that happened) the pain and suffering is unbearable. I was diagnosed in 2009. My husband of 20 years and father of my 3 children just lays next to me & cries if I'm crying. I try REALLY HARD to hide how Awful I feel but with this disease, it's just impossible to fake being well. My prayers go out to you

[@hellbilly9974]

It's terribly painful to see a loved one suffer. It hurts you just about as much as it hurts them. But you know the good Lord gives and he takes away. And he taking good care of your wife in a better place.

[@AddariaLightfingers]

Daniel it isn't. Rob Thomas said why he wrote the song. "The album’s first single, the kaleidoscopic “Her Diamonds,” is the most personal song Thomas has yet committed to disc. Rob’s wife Marisol is courageously battling an autoimmune disease, and “Her Diamonds” was written “about a couple dealing with that on a day-to-day basis,” explains Thomas. “There’s an incredible amount of sadness that comes with something like that. There are moments where I think I flirted with a thinner personal line than I’ve ever done before, but, really, I’m writing a song about how people deal with hard times, and that hard time is universal, that hard time can be anything."" -theiciexperience.blogspot.com/2009/09/marisol-maldonado-comes-out-of.html

[@kylesfloorsmore3908]

In addition to having a very unique voice, Rob also has a great understanding of depression, self deprecation, or just feeling weird once in a while (Her Diamonds, Bent, Unwell). He is also forever hopeful (Someday), and he has even developed a sense of humor (Smooth, She's So Mean). At one interview he was asked if Matchbox Twenty minded his doing independent projects. His reply was that there is a lot of stuff going on inside his head. Matchbox Twenty is one outlet and his personal projects allow him to express other art that does not fit the MT structure. Either way, he is so talented, and we enjoy his music. It is beautiful that he compares her tears to diamonds instead of just saying "she brings the water works."

[@ZRFehr]

[@kariann226]

Jennifer Good that one's actually called "little wonders" and it's written about their loving furbaby, Tyler, who has passed over to the rainbow bridge. His songs are always so universal, but most sadly are written from enduring pain he sees and feels from his wife's daily struggle with many, many auto immune diseases, Lyme disease. They both are probably the world's greatest, most humble, down to earth humans on this planet. My heart bleeds for their whole family going thru all these struggles. And they will never leave her side.

(I'm sure she's jeopardized my daughters belongings) I wonder how I'm supposed to get her around w/ out verification from the incarcerated baby dad... as her MOTHER. He won't even see her till her early 20s. She's 14 now. For a period they... kept her away from me & I gave up... on not wanting to be depressed. I just did all I knew... I was capable of. Keeping my social medias open bc I always had to sneak to buy her phones .. My KID cut her wrists bc of that. So yeah, thx for all that bs. But we're still very close, & now, I know she has her doubts about her s.dad but it's also the 1st she's had a "father." He's her first kid.. This can go either way.

I made my whole family cry as I tried to hold in my tears singing this for her infront of two hundred people.

[@BrookelynnM8]

That is so sweet, I love the idea of a song instead of a speech even if everyone cries. I hope you and your family are doing well

[@trinitylivingston1286]

Honestly, this song is perfect for many people in my life. Everyone who has passed in my life have either passed because of their mental health issues or physical health issues. I relate to that because my grandma died from stage 4 lung cancer. It progressed so fast and we didn't really notice until a month before she passed.

I have fibromyalgia and this song gives me strength for hoping for a better tomorrow. The love he feels for his wife is so clear in this song. When she hurts he hurts. Praying for better days for the both of them.

[@LollipoppingMonkeys]

I could literally listen to him sing anything! Cant get enough of his voice!

[@morpheussandman1]

Thank you Rob Thomas for encompassing how it feels some (most) nights when you have Lupus. Your wife is truly blessed to have your support and understanding.

[@Soulkatyoga8]

Definitely one of the absolute magical and beautiful song. The whole experience but Ribs voice. These Gus got me through lots of tough times and I always come back. Love from Texas ❤

[@TheGoodkarm]

only a man who really truly loves a woman will get this song. Bravo... for the hard stuff. 123K

[@Rain-fb6tu]

Yep. So thankful for my hubby

[@workingclassperson2124]

I TOTALY agree. If you love some one and cant find the words just listen to rob's songs. But beware he covers every emotion my comment above says it all

[@Vestuvius101]

... For LOVE... !

[@WinterFairy158]

I am 24 and struggling with a diagnoses of either MMN or ALS. I remembered this song and played it while waiting is a hospital lobby. Thanks Rob! :)

[@Disasterj]

I been married for about 5 years at this point. When she was dealing with her mental health I would want to move the world for her but couldn't. I just get this song so much and love the song writer Rob is.

[@lafan9872]

this song remind me of a fishing trip I took with my dad, grandpa, and uncle 6 years back :) Its the only song I remember hearing up there and it was right before I caught my first Salmon.

[@ThatOneAnimalGamer.]

I'm so happy that you talked about lupus because it's a invisible disease. I was somewhat diagnosed at the age of 9 months old in 2003. I went from doctors to doctors trying to figure out what was wrong no one knew. As I got older they found out I had lupus but by that time I was already accepting the fact I was sick and wasn't going to get better. The doctors concluded I was going to die by the age of 10 because due to lupus flaring up it came with asthma and other issues. I am currently 18 and I still have issues with lupus but doctors dont expect the fact that I know a lot about the illness. I find it amusing when I say "I have lupus" to doctors and the reply with "I'm a doctor so I would know if you had lupus" it's my favorite line. I was in the hospital more then 30 times before I was 1 year old due to a complication with my immune system and they still didn't want to accept the fact I had lupus. Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for bringing awareness to a invisible illness.

[@JessicaJames-tu8ne]

I love you! I love our babies!!!

[@DreBruh]

This song brings back great memories. Watching in 2016 🙃

[@jessicamae898]

I listened to this song as a kid early Saturday mornings on vh1 and mtv when they did the music video countdowns and it's always stuck with me. I found it again recently as an adult and it's like a wave of memories of better times.

[@KatieJoBennett]

I've loved it from the beginning..Rob is such a powerful performer writer artist..he's amazing.🖤

[@BlueBelle-711]

Simply beautiful. I think Rob is underrated. He’s a song writer like no other. His songs tell a story They speak to your heart ❤️

[@jpaul6741]

3 yrs later and I still feel the same about this ballad. Her Diamonds is still (even despite even Can't Help Me Now) one of my favorite Rt song's. Poignant, purposeful, passionate and utterly believable.

[@jenniferralls4724]

I live with fibromyalgia and chronic pain. I relate to this song so much

[@KeshaIsAwakened]

Reminiscing VH1 music videos before school 🥺❤️

[@balthazarmayrena600]

I don't normally tear up when listening to songs but Rob Thomas is just a freaking genius I can't help myself. Like listen to the lyrics man, so genuine :((

[@denisehedden5108]

🥀Beautiful sad love song! These lyrics alone speak for them self! Thanks for sharing you're life and love in the music industry!🥀☝️🥀

[@FaradayAndLenzAreMyHeroes]

Love this track. So well done.

[@rachaelmendow2793]

[@shorty004]

[@andreamize4496]

What a talented/gifted writer an artist of music-telling stories that make up his life & ours! GOD Bless you Rob and what you bring to us in song!!

[@daleholdstock1595]

I've loved his music since I discovered him in my teens... He's epic of this age!

[@windancer2424]

He gets me through my life. His voice and lyrics speak to me on a deeper level . He has a beautiful voice and his wife has . Some of the issues I have.thank you so much. Ty for making me smile even when I don’t want to.

[@justinlewis8586]

Still one of my favorite songs ever written. Rob Thomas has an ability to get across the emotion he has and in a way that you feel the meaning. It's a different form of being able to get others to understand. Like being able to give someone empathy with poetry and music. Awesome artist. Been listening to him since MatchBox when they came out. I remember getting my first box of cd's from BMG Music with MatchBox 20's first album. great stuff. Thank you for coming up on 30 years of great music. MatchBox and Sister Hazel were two bands that BMG Music introduced me to that year. I still owe BMG for some of those CD's lol

[@givemeyourbones9517]

Omg I listened to this song 6 years ago then after that I couldn't find it. And now 6 years later I finally found it on iTunes OMG in just so happy

[@aliciacook98]

This song gives me chills. I have systemic lupus and hoshimotos. I stay depressed act and tired all the time. My knees and shoulder connective tissus are going away. All I want to do most of the Time is sleep. My boyfriend is amazing he understands. This is my song for sure.

[@ArtemisnHounds]

yes I have fibromylagia anyone who experiences extreme chronic pain or loves someone in it will be hit hard by this song. brings me to tears. she'll be all right...just not tonight

[@annamiensnieks6873]

I also suffer this horrible condition,robs life out of you and since others can't see the pain I get judged,the part that hurts the most is when my loved ones don't believe me...I've been up three nights I understand you 100% I pray for your pain to lessen,peace love and positivity my #fibrofighter

[@omfgh4x]

+Alicia Cook That is great to hear that you are getting the support you deserve. Try to stay positive and strong. Good luck to you and wish you the best :)

[@Shaddoedenise]

tara janick I have that too and it's so painful. :(

[@mariamarchese6135]

I have the same thing .. Women who have boyfriends and husbands who r understanding of this condition r the luckiest women in the world.. Please appreciate them and verbalize to them what amazing men they are...they need to know..because nobody understands this..they just think we r being lazy..thank your lucky stars. U Have them everyday !! And that this condition didnt leave you lonely for the rest of your earthly existence.

[@sandrasue4370]

This is what it’s like to live with a chronic invisible illness like Lupus, which I have been dealing with for the last 23 years. I’ve never seen anything like it so beautifully yet heartbreakingly visibly portrayed. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so seen. What a beautiful and empathetic song to his wife and gift to all of us, too.

[@EmGames41]

Rob Thomas is so amazing! This song is about his wife. Shes going through this lupus-like disease and she had to go through so much surgery. its really sad. but shes fighting. He loves his wife (Mari) so much

[@dellme1375]

She has lyme like me. Its hell on earth

[@EmGames41]

sorry to hear that. and yes. Lyme.. not Lupus.. i wish the best for you. that must be a tough thing to go through..

[@Gina201983]

She has late stage nurological lyme disease!! AND this is not a disease I would wish one anyone!!

[@EmGames41]

thank you! and i completely agree with you.

[@jimmyd2519]

I pray for rob and his wife, I hope she gets better.

[@Reactaddict]

The best male vocalist of the last 20 years. I remember when yourself or someone like you came out I was in my mid teens and used to fall asleep to that album, and now here almost 40, it still soothes the soul. And his solo work like this is just the icing on the cake. Amazing voice.

[@lydiawebb1683]

I live this pain day and night, I've cried through the night for the last 25 years.. I can't believe that anyone could possibly understand what this has done or is doing to me.. I know I'm not the only one suffering, but when you're alone, especially at night, and I feel like a burden on the one I know truly loves me.. I don't want to be a burden, and I can't find relief because no one gives it away for free.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to rumble on. I doubt anyone else would bother reading this anyway.. My point was I listen to this song and cry along all night because I understand what she's going through.. I've had multiple doctors and others express their thoughts that I should write a book or, as they say, " tell my story".. I don't think I could've made it through some nights without this song playing all night till morning...

[@lydiawebb1683]

It's been a great journey for me.. I've dreamed, danced, and found comfort in your music.. I look forward to hearing more from you..

[@kittikulmusa2668]

This is such a powerful song, you can tell Rob sang it right from the heart

[@fcorange3929]

I have been searching for this song for 2 years now and I've finally found it. I am getting so much nostalgia right now.

[@jessicajames5361]

Your priorities are what they are, right. So who am I to stand in the way of that. You just need to evaluate how many came back and forth between the times God left and came back. Worried about the older women who were harmed and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm proud of you!

[@rosegardenmadisonsquare]

“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” gives me chills every time, such a powerful line

[@sherris7043]

Thanks Rob you touched on this so perfectly.

[@jonightwing901]

His wife provided the backup and just adds even more to the context.😊🥺

[@susanelizabeth4440]

Wow, this is beautiful. Love Rob Thomas

[@cranmanc2633]

Reminds me of my sister who we lost to Lupas..thanks Rob

[@JennyMask-uy9wz]

Pure masterpiece!!!

[@deontaedouglas]

This a good song, i use to hear this on the radio all the time
