So true Some Days Are Dimonds Some Days Are Stones. One of those days that's a stone was yesterday August 1st. That's my friend Jennas Birthday. She went home to Jesus May 1st 2008. Yesterday she would of turned 36 1 year older than me. I miss her very much she's my BFF she was also like a sister to me. I love you Jenna and miss you so much.:(
Nobody like John Denver. Never will be. Miss him a lot. His voice is like a clear bell. So beautiful. Love this song. We have all been there. RIP, John.
72 years old and a compulsive gambler for 3 quarters of my years. This song sums up my life to a tee. Sadly there were far more stone days. John, I miss your smile so much and your songs will stay with me forever. Many many thanks
I love almost anything JD.Did he is so MISSED! His and Gospel are just about all I listen to!God bless his fans,and Lets keep his MUSIC alive!R.I.P.we will see you Lord willing bye and bye Amen!
John Denver's "Some Days Are Diamonds"song has always been very special, so meaningful to me since he recorded it….. This beautiful song touches me deeply and tears always fall freely…… John had this strong spiritual presence that just touches your heart and soul…… He spoke with ease, and this beautiful planet of ours was so precious to him as it is to me….. I am grateful that John Denver graced our planet and used his music to lead the charge for this precious world of ours and help us to start cleaning up our act….. In John's own words, "The earth is our mother "….. Just like you look after your mother we need to look after our planet…… There are so many wonderful songs by John, they are all great, just like him….. The day John passed we lost a gentle giant of a man…. How I miss him so….. RIP JOHN DENVER !!
I think it is easier for these new (So Called) artists to throw some crappy beats together and call it a song ! John Denver wrote beautiful poetry set to music !
This song means so much to me. 22 years ago I was in the depths of despair and active alcoholism. I was looking in the bathroom mirror and saw my face, this song started to play on the radio. The words 'now the face that i see in my mirror, more and more are a stranger to me' hit me like a sledgehammer. I booked myself into a rehab that day and heve been free of the demons since.
You just need to learn how to drink in moderation - i.e. 1 glass of wine in the evening or 2 beers throughout the day. This is beneficial for stress relief.
Funny, I listened a lot to JD as a teen. All the big hits. Then lost track of him ,for years. Now at 58, I find ALL his songs so meaningful, so easy to relate to.
I am 61 and I exactly feel the same, J D was ahead of his time. Listen to the song he sang with the Russian tenor Alexander Gradsky in Tokyo 1990. greetings from Germany and peace on earth.
Have always enjoyed John Denver's music. Been married to a man for 29 years and found out today 5/15/2013 he had never heard "Grama's Feather Bed"!!! Had to let him listen and he's a fan now too. We did lose a great one with John Denver.
Listening to this song thinking of my dear friend Matthew. I love him like a brother. He died Easter Sunday. It's very hard on me cried off & on. Tiamo mi Hermono. You'r Hermanita Jaime
Thank you for sharing this classic. October 12th 1997 a day that will live i my heart forever. Vale John .........you make Heaven a place to look forward too.
Dang....this was when music was music instead of the garbage called music today.....John had it all, wrote many of his own songs, voice, melody, guitar, natural story telling in his songs.........ah....the good old days!!
When my grandchildren take a knock of sorts I always say to them - some days are diamonds some days are stones - and it always seems to put things into perspective for them. No doubt John Denver was very special and his music will live on forever. Peace.
My now ex-wife and I listened to John sing this in person when it was first written. I sent it to her today after finally reconnecting after 23 long years.
God bless... Always had a strong distance from my father. We are German American - he loved this song. 12 years ago my Mother passed... have been taking care of him the past 3 years, he has always loved this song. First time I listened to the lyrics. I get it and him.
you are so right, he was an amazing man with a great voice - it is terrible he died - and that he died so young, but I still have faith the future will bring us someone else
Well, I'm 67 years old and I believe I love this song more than any other. And I am a music freak It pretty sums up my life and everyone's. What an angelic voice. He sings with inspiration and passion and loves what he's doing. I remember these days. Long gone. sure but never forgoten. Love him. .
I dedicate this song to my Daddy. He went on to be with Jesus December 2nd. He played guitar 🎸 and sang. We sang allot of John Denvers songs together this one we sang as we scattered my grandmas ashes.
I’m on month 5 of a 1 year tour in the Middle East, since I’ve been gone I’ve lost 3 grandparents and watched my dad struggle to cope with retirement, I rediscovered this song over here and it’s taken on a new meaning, there’s a hope behind the idea that we get through the hard times and savor those diamonds even more when we have them.
There are many moments.........many people..........many events.........many songs in life , that we just remember. This song is one of those absolute treasures for me. Everytime l listen, lm reminded of both good & bad .........Thats life...... l love this song , and it helps me to appreciate the Diamonds in my life, and to value at the same time, the Stones..........Thank you John Denver.....The World you aimed to make better, is enriched by your thoughts & talents...................
I THINK THIS SONG ABOUT SUMS LIFE UP FOR EVERYBODY. ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF JD. OF CURSE, I COULD SAY THAT ABOUT MOST OF HIS SONGS! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER JOHN DENVER. I LOVE AND MISS HIM SO BAD! I GUESS THE GOOD LORD NEEDED ONE MORE SWEET VOICE IN HEAVEN AND THAT'S WHY HE CALLED JOHN HOME.

I lost my husband in Nov 2011 and this song fits. Thanks. Miss you Ron.
good god why can't we get music like this anymore. when lyrics ruled a song and not the mindless beat. this is john at his best miss this music badly.
I think it is easier for these new (So Called) artists to throw some crappy beats together and call it a song ! John Denver wrote beautiful poetry set to music !
America has moved on from music w true meaning I'm afraid..
We have John's music to get us through our lives.. That's what he would have wanted..
❤❤
one of America's most talented artist
Top shelf
Some days are DIAMONDS, some (to many) days are stone!!!
Denver took "Diamonds" to number 10 in Billboard in the summer of 1981.

Noel, that is a beautiful testimony, God bless you! Such a great song, no doubt.
Fate plays a funny hand sometimes.I don't know you but I am so happy you've managed to turn your life around.Bless you and enjoy your new life.
Noel Condie I am so very happy that you have found your way mate.

congrads I bet John up in heaven smiling down on you
Hard to believe such a talent lives on through his music and great works for environment. Obsessed with John at times. Great video!

this song always makes me bawl like a baby. I am 74 years old :)
I know exactly what you mean. It is just one of those.
I'm 74 too and it tears me apart as well. It sums up life perfectly. As life gets shorter, it becomes more and more relevant. I miss him too.
then i guess today would be a stone? lol just kidding
Me too.
great song I think it is like a memory song
Listening to this song thinking of my dear friend Matthew. I love him like a brother. He died Easter Sunday. It's very hard on me cried off & on. Tiamo mi Hermono. You'r Hermanita Jaime

This brings tears to my eyes as I
remember my beautiful wife of 45 years who succumb to cancer 5 years ago
Listen to a song by Paul Byrom called To Where You Are. It is beautiful and may bring you some solace. May God bless you.
God bless... Always had a strong distance from my father. We are German American - he loved this song. 12 years ago my Mother passed... have been taking care of him the past 3 years, he has always loved this song. First time I listened to the lyrics. I get it and him.
I miss when music still had a feeling to it and meaning. We can only hope the future will bring us someone like John Denver.
you are so right, he was an amazing man with a great voice - it is terrible he died - and that he died so young, but I still have faith the future will bring us someone else

The lyrics of this lovely song hit deep in the human soul
Derek office, I had the incredible chance of meeting this man, he was so genuine, caring and kind man.
I’m on month 5 of a 1 year tour in the Middle East, since I’ve been gone I’ve lost 3 grandparents and watched my dad struggle to cope with retirement, I rediscovered this song over here and it’s taken on a new meaning, there’s a hope behind the idea that we get through the hard times and savor those diamonds even more when we have them.
