The official TH-cam channel of Grammy Award-winning artist Rob Thomas.
Rob Thomas is one of modern music’s most compelling and commercially successful artists. For twenty years, he has been the frontman and primary composer for alternative rock band Matchbox Twenty, leading the quintet to multiplatinum success over the course of four albums and hits that include “Push,” “3AM,” “Bent,” “If You’re Gone,” and “Unwell.”
Thomas’ first solo albums, 2005’s platinum-certified #1 album ‘Something To Be’ and 2009’s ‘cradlesong’ generated the hit singles “Lonely No More,” “This is How A Heart Breaks,” “Her Diamonds” and “Someday. ’Something to Be’ became the first album by a male artist from a rock/pop group to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 since the chart had debuted. With ‘cradlesong’, he made history once again as the only male artist with multiple #1 hits at Adult Top 40, with most #1s by a solo male artist in the chart’s history. Thomas released his 3rd solo album ‘The Great Unknown' in 2015.

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.
LYME DISEASE
Lyme disease and its co-infections
💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏
prayers sent to you
:(
This song is criminally underrated.
One of the worst songs in existence
_Could say that about much of his music!_
You summed it up perfectly. Though a terribly sad song, one of my favorites.
What she’s experiencing in this video with the ice breaking etc is the same way I feel with my MS… feels like every part of my body is breaking like glass… EVERYDAY… 😔 🙏🏼 I love that he made this song / video for anyone struggling with any illness like this. We can relate. I feel this pain everyday and it’s exactly like glass breaking in my body (the ice breaking and melting on her is similar). Having to live with lifelong conditions the way we do is so draining and terrifying 😔 🙏🏼
Rob Thomas is so underrated, and it is a true shame. He and Matchbox 20 have so much talent and so many good songs.
People grow apart musically friend...
Agreed. ♡
I love Rob Thomas
AGREED!
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.
@@Jasruler Well said.
Rob Thomas is far too underrated as an artist. He has been for years. His intensity and passion is incredible.
Hes too pg. Im going back over to the more rated r stuff. Im jk. This originally made me think of my youngen. ..Still does tho.
Diamonds are tears. That’s how gracious and wonderful he is.
Ikr
Hello
Agree
Love this song and Rob Thomas ❤
Isn't it crazy how songs take on a whole different meaning the older you get and the more you actually understand
You got that right :(
Perspective. Wisdom. Getting old kind of sucks but It comes with a lot of good.
Yah, Amen! ❤
I new it all at 20. At 65, I finally know it all. If I could give one piece of advice I would say " listen to anybody giving you advice". problem is your 20, you know it all.
I relate this song and 3am to different people in my life. I wish I could help them but not much I can or could do. That and autoimmune diseases, mental illness, etc run in my family. That and terminal illness too.
You know a song is legendary status when the artist lets the backup singers take the song home
I’ve said the same thing about this song so many times
Because the backup singer is his wife
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."
This song is about his wife's battle with chronic Lyme. LYME.
@@amykoller493 lupus!!
When someone wants me to define "good man," I direct them to this song.
100
If I defined “good woman” you’d tell me I have no right to because I’m a man. See what vaginas do to your mind? They shoot laser beams of hypocrisy and illogic.
No one asked
@ChrisYaBish chill dude, she was joking.
Yesssss 💯
As a person who lives with a chronic illness, this song resonates so strongly with me! Thank you, Rob Thomas, for this song!
I have multiple sclerosis and same
practically grew up in the hospital. spent a ,onth in the icu when i was 9 due to complications from brain surgery. localized bine cancer at 26. chronic pain, ect, ect, ect....pluss all the mental illness that comes with it. this song makes me ugly cry. its so fcking special.
Absolutely!!!
@@skylermiles3336🥰😘🤗⚘️💝💛🌻💐🌸
@@skylermiles3336💛💚 Amen ;)! 👑✨️
Should’ve won an award for best vocal performance.👍👍👍👍👍
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"!!!
He's written a lot of songs for his wife
Bob my heart goes out to you,after 60 years of all that love you were surly soulmates. Know shes in your heart n she is with you always,i know. Prayers for you and loved ones. This my song i suffer fibromyalgia no cure only constant pain,i fight on n pray one day i get to be as blessed as you to have found true love.
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
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.
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
it's amazing how you can hear a song and all the memories from when you listened to the song come flooding back ahh nostalgia
vanessax2the0 Was thinking the exact same thing.
vanessax2the0 agreed
So true, this is when I REALIZED I was RT fan, then went and saw the concert
gwencantdi 666 same oddly enough.
This was 4 years ago. Damn.
_This track is a true diamond!💎_
as someone who has an incurable disease that won't ever 'get better,' this song helps me so much when things are so bad that i cant take no more
Same as I have multiple chronic illnesses including two life threatening conditions and I'm currently in hospital with them and have this song on repeat tonight to give me the strength to keep going.
I fully appreciate this comment. I have a very bad chronic illness that Covid ended up making worse. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Just know you’re never alone…
No sleep rub my eyes no sleep don't know what to do
@@dalegribbe1398❤
This song will forever be a part of me ever since I watched the video every morning on vh1 and MTV while getting ready for school during the 6th grade...
SAME!!! The nostalgia though
+ItsKaelon Yep same here
I used to do that every morning, too, are you kiddin me? I, too, was in the 6th grade & would watch this every morning (with my little brother sometimes). Good times. Simpler times. Don't know what you have until it's gone, it seems.
damn. Those days
So true
I loved working on this Video and getting to meet Alicia. Was sorry that we didn't get to meet Rob . The entire 2 weeks we worked on the Video , we had Matchbox 20 music playing in the FX Shop. Favorite Band of the 90's .
Rob Thomas is such a great song writer. 3am was about his Mom battling cancer, this one is about his wife dealing with Lyme Disease. He writes with such emotion and it shows in the power of his songs. They actually mean something to him.
Wow, I didn't know that that was what 3am was about. I relate to it.
She has Lupus!
this man has to be the most talented in this genre. hands down
EVER!!
Jennifer Varnum he’s hot too
Yes he is live him so much
Love this man
1000% agree!! His soul comes right through!!!! Love him
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.
Great music can be interpereted in so many ways. So it wasn’t wrong, it just resonated with you differently 💕
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.
I love this. It very accurately gives a picture of someone who suffers from an invisible autoimmune illness. We are frozen and take a very long time to be able to move when we wake up. This video is just so resonating with me. God bless Rob for this song and for actually standing up and talking about invisible illnesses. Too many people have no clue.
I agree,
My mom has Hashimotos and she loves this song
This
I have Parkinson’s and I feel the same way. My husband is amazing and understanding but it breaks me to know how much he is hurt by my disease.
And bipolar
Works perfectly for any invisible struggle. I struggle with PTSD+, this song brings me so much relief. Thank you Rob, you and Matchbox 20 will never be beat, in my humble opinion. Saved me, comforts me, inspires me! All the love ❤️
Read your scriptures Lil more and slowly watch your So called PTSD symptoms go Away...
Gross@@geeharris5150
14 years of this song and I have never not gotten chills. Just powerful lyrics and sensational voice.
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."
Kyle's Floors & More I was going to reply, "It's not that unique, he sounds just like that guy from Matchbox Twenty."
And then I finished reading your comment and realized, yeah...because he is that guy.
That's why I love Matchbox twenty
Dont forget "these small hours"! Always hopeful.
+Kyle's Floors & More - He is just talented. That's what he said in a morning show TV interview last year.
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.
My late Girlfriend suffered with bad case of depression, and after she found out she had PCOS it only made things worse. She was never the religious type but she started praying for a miracle to happen. She ended up overdosing one night, and I remember hearing her say something along the lines of the lyrics in this song. To those out there whom have lost someone, or love someone struggling, just know you're not alone, nor are they.
I hope you're holding strong today and in a good place, my deepest condolences. So incredibly sad to read that.
❤
Well, I know I dont always say the most delicate of delicate things. But if you're dealing w/ someone who is active in addiction, ud just know how intolerable it gets. I used to spend every damn waking min w/ this guy. Of course I still have feelings. But that sh ain't healthy. Its just not. I thought I was delicate enough to be there for him but hes making me even more vulnerable than I already am, at my expense and ugh. Sorry bout his issues. But those issues aren't mine anymore. I actually wouldnt be surprised if he replaced me w/ some druggie tommorow. But if thats what he wants, thats sure as hell what he deserves
This song perfectly illustrates the dynamics between me and my husband. I have multiple chronic illnesses that just pile on top of each other. One of my many conditions is called visual snow "It's funny how the night can make you blind" speaks to me. I can't even get rest when I close my eyes because of all of the bright lights I see.
I understand, unfortunately 😢
Rob Thomas is a legend
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.
It is hard to watch someone you love in pain and be unable to help. I only found this song today...so expressive. Luck to his beloved.
You can't love him more with this song. A man who is truly dedicated to his wife and the love he has for her if everyone found a partner like him the world would be a better place. Love you Rob 💚💚💚
Being someone that also suffers from late stage nurological lyme (chronic lyme disease) this song and the love rob has for his wife through it means SO much to me!! love this song
My mom has stage 4 cancer non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Lyme disease. Then I met this boy(We are dating now.)His family has really helped me and comforted me to deal with my moms sickness. I’m glad they told me about this song. I hope this comment can help someone if they know any loved one who has cancer or any illness. Stay strong! God has a plan for you.❤
I have spent YEARS tryna find this song again. It reminds of the VH1 days. I used to wake up every morning and watch these music videos while getting ready for school
IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO FIND THIS SONG.
I KNOW RIGHT. I ALWAYS FORGET THE NAME AFTER A COUPLE YEARS AND I'M LIKE DAMN, I KNOW IT HAD THE WORD DIAMONDS IN IT. LIKE SHIT, SUCH AN EASY TWO WORDS TO REMEMBER.
I LOVE CAPS
holy shit same
I heard it on the radio yesterday and remember I use to listen to it very often - -" but can't remember so google help me with lyrics >w
He says 'her diamonds' once or twice. That might have been a good lead. :)
I had no idea what the song was about either . All I knew was he wrote it for his wife . I have bi polar disorder & suffered from depression for most of my life . I found happiness through my faith in God . I have chronic osteoarthritis & hip bursitis ,I also have glaucoma & lost the site in my left eye . I also have sleep apnea . But through all of this I have never complained . I am also going through financial difficulty . I just keep my chin up & live day to day & hold on tight to our Lord . God bless you rob . Saw you guys earlier in Australia 🦘 this year with the goo goo dolls . Great show from both bands Rob . ❤😊 Sydney Australia 31/5/2024
I too have depression and am bipolar, but it helps to know there are others suffering this condition. Bless you Wayne for being so open. Gosford Australia 6/7/2024.
Bless you from Brisbane.I love this song heard it in a shop..
As a person who has dealt with Lupus for 32 years, I almost lost my battle in 2004 and several times in 2005….I’m still here and this song always has and always will give me the strength to carry on and get up again.
His wife has Lyme Disease. I hope you are doing beyter
I never knew this song was about his wife suffering with Lupus until today. My roommate of 18 years has Lupus and this song puts into words the emotion that she and our family goes through on a daily basis. I have never heard the emotions describe in such a honest way.
What's lupus
+Beatrice Lewis It's an auto-immune disease.
it wasn't lupus it was chronic lyme
I have lupus too and I bn threw hell and back, so i think this song really touches us lupies ave our loved ones 💜 #LupusSucks #LupusLivesMatter
Lupus was a misdiagnosis at the time, it was Lyme
This is me always. And all my battles. My biggest battle yet fighting lupus and a bunch more. But I'm here 14 years later. Still alive and battling all the pain. ✨🙏💜✌️😞
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! :)
I haven't heard this song in such a long time and I even forgot about it but when I heard it on Pandora, the nostalgia hit me like a truck.
Same here!!!!
Same! I heard it in an ihop
+WarHeads AsAnalBeads loving your screen name lmao!
me too! though it wasn't like a truck, it was like a rickshaw to me. Hey I like the song it just took me a while to reminisce :).
+WarHeads AsAnalBeads What pandora channel?
For my sister who fought her battle with MS.
Her diamonds on the floor 💎 😭
I never knew this song was about his wife’s battle with lupus until today. It means so much more now when I listen to it. Makes me cry. It’s hard for those of us who battle with the disease, but we often forget how hard it is for our loved ones too.
It's not Lupus..it's Lyme disease.. they misdiagnosed it.
The song 3am is about his mother.
wouldn't it be kinda wonderful to have someone love you so much that they actually share your pain? Brilliant song by a brilliant artist...who just happens to love his wife....thankyou Rob for yet another of my favourite songs.
You had better believe my husband shares every second of my pain. I think he has it worse at times, I get to sleep. He gets to worry, work, hold our lives together.
That's how I feel about my loved ones when they are in pain.
To think it’s been 13 years and here I am still loving this song.
Reminiscing VH1 music videos before school 🥺❤️
only a man who really truly loves a woman will get this song. Bravo... for the hard stuff. 123K
Yep. So thankful for my hubby
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
... For LOVE... !
I cry every time I hear this song.
This is an immensely underrated song; wherein can be found any number of lines which stand alone...just oozing sentiment expressed with simple perfection: "If she feels bad then I do too", "...like I don't know now", "she stares into the distance and takes all night", "...and there's something less about her"; even when he says: "...I can just imagine" ...such a profound response in the master-art of relating. Simple, yet abominably deep for popular-rock.
I was in a very toxic relationship a couple years back that I'm out of now thankfully. My daughter told me just recently that this song describes exactly what she was feeling during that time. brings tears to my eyes that I was so blind, I couldn't see her heart breaking for me
TRUE STORY
I was in a toxic system in a toxic baby dad fam situation. Crazy to think now how when his mom wants a random vacation, from sitting on her ass from the deceased hubby's inheritance.. (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. They actually have a whole lot in common tho if my jerkwads would just talk to each other. They try tho... :/.
Yes underrated. Listen to the words and video tells a story of a personal relationship
Who's here from VH1 morning Buzz when this would play erryday during the summer of 2010?
Yes me
Holy shit, nobody ever knows what I'm talking about when I say VH1 top 20, legit gives me so much nostalgia
So freaking true!!
Omfg thank u for this comment
I used to listen to this on VH1 getting ready for highschool omg so long ago.
My husband sometimes can’t handle my depression. This song is a perfect understanding of loving someone with depression. I always just tell him to leave me alone and let me deal with it.
Poor guy...
@@joeking8789 Stop. Get empathy therapy.
I used to tell mu husband "Dont touch me!" My skin hurts so bad from my lupus. Now i wish I had just sucked it up and let him hug me. I just lost my husband Dec 29, 2019. He was 63. i would give anything for those hugs back! The words just blurted out. The pain is never not there. Now i cry wishing i could feel him touching me, trying to comfort me, I totally understand what you are feeling and the hurt inside is so bad. It is worse than the pain on the outside. Godspeed I hope you are not hurting so bad and the drs found a magic dust that is giving you at least some quality of life, My drs dont even look for the magic dust. They care so little,
This is a powerful song and holds a lot of different meanings...I loved it when it first came out and I still love it today...actually love Matchbox 20 and Rob Thomas always loving Rob music...
Having a rough night dealing with pain that I just can't get help with. This song means alot.
I could literally listen to him sing anything! Cant get enough of his voice!
His wife provided the backup and just adds even more to the context.😊🥺
I'm speechless... I've been looking for this music video for almost TEN YEARS, I've always wondered if I would ever see the "video with the frozen woman" I loved during my teen years and after looking for it like crazy I finally found it again!!! When I tell you I was bawling my eyes out when I realized it this was the song I was looking for... this is one of the happiest days of my life, this song is beautiful and the video too (I love the part when she finally breaks free from the ice and feels the sun on her skin) and hearing it again after all of these years is making me the happiest woman alive ♥️♥️♥️
I have no idea if anyone is ever going to read this comment and I usually don't comment on videos but I really needed to say how much this meant to me ♥️ hope anyone reading this has a wonderful day ✨
@@afroluizaa same i remember watching it on vh1 like the mtv channel or whatever & it took me soooo long to find but i remembered it so vividly & here we are !
Same here
This song means so much to me, it describes me and my grandma when she was dying of stage 4 cervical can er. I sang this song to her before she past. I just wanted to say thank you for saying the words I couldnt. My family wanted me to say a speech at her memorial but instead I sang this song. I made my whole family cry as I tried to hold in my tears singing this for her infront of two hundred people.
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
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 love this song and will send you blessings for all time of love, peace, well being, abundance, joy, happiness, safety, protection, always and forever, in my prayers, my promise. Look forward to seeing you in person this summer in Oklahoma City Ampitherater Zoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To know this is about his wife having an autoimmune condition and fighting through that pain, the depth that he feels her pain just gives me life. I'm in the biggest flare I've been in at least five years all of my bones ache every muscle in my body is tense I have so much stress just trying to breathe through this pain. The steroids make me cry, pain makes me cry. And the only thing that makes it any better is to know that there is a person who fiercely supports us out here. Thank you so much Rob I could never repay you for walking through life with us, God I'm so fortunate to have these words just permeate. And I know what that feels like to say I can't take anymore. But this is a lie. As long as I'm here I'll fight. To the lupus warriors, fibromyalgia and Lyme disease fighters, I love you guys and I'm here with you. We can sit in this together, and I promise you, one day soon you're going to wake up and you're going to actually have slept and your body is not going to hurt so bad. You'll get dressed, I know you love to look your best. You'll cover up with those dark circles and deep lines you'll smile in the mirror, damn we clean up nice. You look at that night stand those bottles and bottles of pills, and you'll make your peace with them all over again. I know it's a lot and I know you're tired, but you have someone who cares so much you're going through, I just want you to know that. Rob Thomas is indeed a very special human being, and now that I'm crying I'm going to go. But before I do please just remember life is worth living, no matter what. ❤️
Thank you..
His voice is absolutely amazing! Raw talent is its truest form!
Many blessings extended to you brother....
Love him for the love given to his wife in this song
Deb Hood-Conner it's about his wife's struggle with lupus
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 :((
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.
I still can't listen to this without crying.
this song makes me cry everytime I hear it.
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 ❤
I love Rob Thomas .i like all his songs
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 ❤️
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.
I know he wrote this song about his wife who suffers from lupus. But I can't help but think of my husband when I hear this song. After our daughter was stillborn and dealing with 7 years of infertility. I can only imagine that he feels this way some nights when I'm "down in it."
LYME DISEASE.... NOT LUPUS.
Love your music ROB Thomas 🎉
The legend will always live, now and forever ❤️
$😊
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.
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.
I live with fibromyalgia and chronic pain. I relate to this song so much
This song brings back great memories. Watching in 2016 🙃
Thanks Rob you touched on this so perfectly.
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!!
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
She has lyme like me. Its hell on earth
sorry to hear that. and yes. Lyme.. not Lupus.. i wish the best for you. that must be a tough thing to go through..
She has late stage nurological lyme disease!! AND this is not a disease I would wish one anyone!!
thank you! and i completely agree with you.
I pray for rob and his wife, I hope she gets better.
beautiful song by a beautiful person with a beautiful heart
I love you! I love our babies!!!
This song is soo underrated and its sad
This is such a powerful song, you can tell Rob sang it right from the heart
A trip down memory lane
Love this track. So well done.
Reminds me of my sister who we lost to Lupas..thanks Rob
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.
I relate this on another level. My Akita,Cabo, my girl suffered from hip dysplasia @ 12 years old and I had to put her to sleep to stop the pain. I adopted her 10 years ago and held her through the whole procedure crying. I lost my best friend and loyal companion. I still come home from work to see her waiting by the door, home is so empty now. Cabo was this dog that had to be involved in everything I'd do and watch over me. Lost her two weeks ago and it's so hard to let it go.
What a genuine, REAL MAN!! And Husband! That just touches my heart!! I too, have Lupus & KNOW this is EXACTLY how my hubby feels....this shows me there are TWO GOOD MEN IN THIS WORLD!!! Awesome job Rob Thomas!!
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
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.
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.
I've been dealing with MS for 9 years, depression, and anxiety. There are days where i just want to cry and give up but I can't. I can relate to this song cuz I've left a great deal of diamonds on the floor.
Wow, this is beautiful. Love Rob Thomas
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.
I’ve listened to this song through two major, life changing illnesses. The most difficult moments occurred when I had been up all night, the sun was coming up, and sleep was no where is sight. The poem Defeat by Kahil Gabran also spoke to my soul.
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 I'm 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 I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be
And she says, oh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's 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
Way down
Well 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 I'm supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
But don't let her see
And she says, oh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's 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
She'll be alright
She'll be alright
Just not tonight
And she says, oh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling
And she says, oh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's 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 can't take no more)
(Diamonds on the floor)
(No more) no more
(No more)
Diamonds falling down
(I can't take no more)
(Diamonds on the floor)
(No more, no more, no more, no more)
Diamonds falling down, yeah
(I can't take no more)
(Diamonds on the floor)
(No, no, no, no)
Oh diamonds fall, and oh her diamonds
Diamonds falling down
I can't take these diamonds falling down
