    I saw her about 10 years ago in Durham NC, where I was sitting on the 3rd row. She was fantastic, but she didn't do this song for the entire regular concert. On her first encore, she still didn't sing it so I stood and called for "Diamonds and Rust".....Her second encore ended the same way, and on her third encore, she looked and pointed at me and said "this is for you". :) I still get goose bumps thinking about this.

    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 cuff links
    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

    This is one of the most poignant and poetic songs.

To me, this is just one of those pieces of magic that the world blesses us with sometimes. Thank you, Joan.

So I can't escape him he was my soulmate and every song reminds me of him❤😢

      Save him from himself? The man is the most acclaimed songwriter of all time and his career has played out perfectly fine without Joan’s saving, he did not require saving from Joan. As a matter of fact Joan contributed to pushing Dylan away because she was constantly demanding that he keep writing protest songs the rest of his life and actually rejected a proposal of marriage from him at one point.

    In 1963, we had a substitute teacher who was young and talked to us about cool things, that sounded so cutting edge then. Even 59 years later, I remember a singer he mentioned that he thought that class of sixth graders should know about--her name was Joan Baez. It didn't register much with me at age 10, but did a few years later and to this day...If you were that teacher and somehow see this, thank you.

This and JJ Cale's Someday are two such songs. Thank you Joan for being one of the most wonderful woman musicians and songwriters of the 20th century. The feelings deep down are bearable when we listen to this song, we are not alone and it helps the mind and soul greatly.

      There is several words of brilliance, in this song, as Paddington Brown says this is not poetry it is pure unadulterated LOVE she is singing a massive deep love song , to Bob and when she sings certain lines and her voice and how she drops down to lower notes I am emotionally knocked out, always brings tears with its magnificent unbelievable emotion , I love music amd a million songs , but some do something to you, that hit a deep spot. And these peope with the genius to write the words and music amaze me, especially about someone we think we know.
      Now another song that I would call a massive love song is "Let Her Cry" by Hootie and the Blowfish, not the same song style but the same power of love song , listen to the lyrics, and see what heart wrenching things the singer is telling in this music story.
      Last but not least , it is 2023,\.
      WHERE HAS THE DEEP QUALITY AND EMOTIONAL UPLIFTING MUSIC GONE???
      I appreciate new styles but the feel is dying , the tune is going , there is no structure , songs are like Ads sometimes, so TH-cam thanks for a spot I can get lost in with my earphones.
      Words with meaning and put to good music and with feelings from the heart.
      And it is an older song and to David Vergari, you sir are spot on the mark, this song really does move people, deeply. Genius in fact.

They where becoming two different people & bob knew other women who where more in his lifestyle type.

      As far as other women that was happening when they were together. As a matter of fact even before. Bob wouldn't give Joan the time of day when the 1st met because he was interested in her 16 year old sister who was allegedly even more beautiful. Dylan was a scoundrel...

      I too remember as a very young person being introduced to this song by the Judas Priest cover. I knew that it was a cover of her song. But I just read an interview of Joan Baez about her upcoming film biography and this song and Bob Dylan was discussed. I see now that she wrote this about him and she was obviously absolutely heartbroken. I’m not a folk music fan. I love my hardcore alternative rock. But knowing the history behind this now, I’m in tears.
      And I agree with her activism. She’s a legend.

    Besides being utterly beautiful, "Diamonds and Rust" is among the most haunting, nakedly honest autobiographical songs ever recorded. Most of us have had the experience at one time or another of having an old lover suddenly appear out of nowhere, leaving us feeling, for a time at least, shattered, confused, and conflicted. But no one I can think of has ever captured that experience better than Baez did in this song. It also nails the vibe of New York City on a cold autumn day. This is poetry/songwriting at its very best.

      ericynot,, I can't find the words to thank you for your beautiful, heartfelt, intelligent and lovely post. I was choking back emotion while watching Baez's French TV studio close-up performance of this song in a French studio, then saw this video with lyrics & photos of Baez & Dylan. I had wished for the photos to age along with them & the lyrics, but am grateful for what Dave Bing took the time to do for the rest of us. I was particularly taken with what I assume is Baez' meaning behind the lyric "You say you aren't nostalgic..." Dylan may have won the Nobel but he wouldn't get a Milk of Human Kindness prize. I've personally experienced a lover from my youth refusing to acknowledge the depth & sweetness of our relationship. Anyway ericynot, I hope you are, in fact, a critic. Selfishly I hope you are because your talent should be shared beyond TH-cam music pages. Thank you again.

      @@arnoldblashak171 Dylan had an affair with Baez as his relationship with Suze Rotolo was ending partly due to Suze getting pregnant with Dylan's child and having an abortion in 1963.
      Baez lyric "You flew right into my arms. Temporarily lost at sea, the Madonna was yours for free, the girl on the half shell that would keep you unharmed" is a brilliant bit of self reflection.

    I thought I had found my soul mate late in life. Thought it was time to feel some joy and happiness so I got myself down from behind the walls and opened the door. She ripped my heart out and shoved me off the cliff, and I saw myself falling slowly to dash to pieces on the rocks below. I listened to this song and others but I played this over and over as I picked up the pieces and glued my heart back together and started walking back to close and bolt the door and climb back up behind the walls. Music like this, so raw and unfiltered, helped staunched the bleeding and let me heal. Thanks Joan.
