One of my indispensable loves... I'm glad you existed in this world and left an indelible mark on our hearts. We love you and your brave heart, Joan Baez! With my best wishes... 🌹
I missed the 60's. I was in the army 12/65-12/68. I served a year in Korea and a year in Viet Nam. It took me a few years to readjust from my army ways and by then, it was 1972. I grew my hair longer but still did not appreciate how great the 60's were and the fact they could never be duplicated. Now, I am a retired, 63 year old hippie, bicycle rider, weightlifter, jogger who is just loving and enjoying life. With this computer I have been able to find most of the songs that I have been humming
I grew up listening to my mother's music. I was born in '65, so I got the good stuff. For some reason, the sadder, more haunting stuff has become my favorite. This is absolutely one of my favorites.
I feel in love with a blue eyed guy back in 1989 when I was just 22 he was 29 and this song so fits. I was so in love with him and then he just up and moved away but would still call me sometimes. I was hearbroken for years.
Love, sad, happy, joyous, regretful, all consuming, distant and aloof and all its many perceptions. Joans is one of the most all encompassing Ive ever heard and its an honor to hear her sing about it. Thank you Joan, for a song that weathers the test of time.
This song is such a masterpiece. Her voice, her lyrics, and her guitar playing. Flawless. And she does the best Bob Dylan impression on Simple Twist of Fate.
merci madame baez, je suis francais et cela fait bien des années que vous illuminez mes jours, bons ou moroses de votre voix et de votre si grand talent des milliers de fois merci
Thank you, Joan, for this painfully emotive song that makes me SO glad I escaped an abusive relationship when I was only 21. Blissfully sad and joyous at the same time. 1st love ….
Madame Baez, c'est quelqu'un. Fille de prof au MIT, elle partage sa vie avec Dylan et est présente dans toutes les luttes de libération. Chapeau ! Une femme merveilleusement intelligente, courageuse, et belle, ce qui ne gâche rien. Une icône de nos jeunesses passées et à venir. Quelle voix !
Joan's voice still cuts like a knife in this song....very beautiful, bittersweet account of something that obviously hurt her very much, but out of it came this haunting classic....
with Joan's voice and that guitar this may the best love song I"ve ever heard...wow....here's comes your ghost again...boy I've seen some ghosts of the past..
Tú voz, tu alma y tu ser son diamantes regalados a este mundo, lleno de materialismo individualismo y mesquindad. Eres una mujer hermosa con espíritu maravilloso y te admiro mucho. Desde Chile.
First time I've heard this- I've been listening to Judas Priest's cover of this for many years now and thought it was their song. This is a very moving song; nice. Great voice!
I alway knew this song covered by Judas Priest. Today I heard this version playing over the intercom at wal mart. So I just had to look it up. This is just awesome. Wish I would have known sooner. I have discovered Joan Baez. Thank you God!!!
Jordan Mcintyre dude if you don't like her you should probably go and listen to some music you do like instead of accosting her fans with your hate speach all because you are incapable of handling real emotion when you see it like a functionally Autistic Repiglican freak..This became her signature song because it seemed to bring closure to her 1960's romance with Bob Dylan that will always fascinate fans of either artist. Though it was Ironic that after that album she spent 2 of the next 3 years on tour with Dylan.but whatever it's not your business or your thing so just go away.
Love You Joan!!! You are So beautiful Always.You are an Angel from the Stars.You bring Special Divine Feelings through that Blessed voice of yours.May All beings be Happy! May everyone find the Pure true Love that is within.
I'm only in my 20s but I was brought up listening to Joan Baez and think she is just phenomenal. I saw her in Birmingham last year and her voice was just as incredible all these years later.
without trying to decipher the meaning etc of this song I'd rather just try and enjoy it for what it is....a deeply moving, wonderfully written and sang with a voice that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
This songs means more to me this week then ever before, 25 years ago, I had the love of my life, we broke up as he went into another relationship...out of the blue my 43 birthday, I get a card from him, and this song came into my mind about our relationship back then. Oh wow!!! I understand what Joan was singing about when out of the blue, Bob calls her after 10 years.
"My poetry is lousy you’ve said", oh Lord, that's the way, the two masters of lyrics talked to each other... Somehow this song seems to be a document of a love, that could and maybe should have merged two charismatic personalities, but obviously was more inspiring in it's failure. Thank you for sharing this great song together with these well selected pictures !
By far her best and most beautiful song. Not strange, because Dylan has always been her great love. The fact that Dylan did ultmately choose for Sarah and not her for becoming his wife gave her deep emotional pain, resulting in this heartbreaking song
I really don't think that is true. Reading the memoir she wrote doesn't make it seem she was still heartbroken or that he was her "one great love." She certainly loved him at the time, but she moved on.
Baez wrote: “My suite had a picture window looking out on a huge maple tree. I lined up the couch pillows on the floor so that I could lie down and look directly into the leaves which were flipping gently like the pages of an abandoned book, their two sides of slightly different hues.”
I don't think people truly realize that she is the original author of this song. "I like so-and-so's better" Well, those so-and-so's are all just covering her original work. And it's so emotional because she meant it to be, she was reflecting on her love for somebody. Just thought I'd share. I hate it when people look at an original song and say that covers are better.
Sometimes covers are better. Usually that happens when the cover reinvents the song and creates a feeling/message that rivals or surpasses that of the original. Hendrix's cover of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" would be a good example. However, this song is deeply personal, so it's very difficult to cover -- especially when you're a rock band. And I don't think I'd want to hear the myriad of so-called "artists" who claim this song "speaks" to them and pay "tribute" to it by performing it in a way that silences the voice.
this song drives me nuts i play it everday i yoused to have the lp but i never played it it i heard this now cant get anouth grew up with joan used to be in love with her all my trails song she is one talented woman and that voice
This is a most beautiful song about the deep love of a woman for a man....it is spiritual emotional transcendental....her greatest song her deepest feelings for Bob Dylan....touches so many of us....the sadness and the beauty.....
Bu dünyaca ünlü ikili, fırtınalı ve uzatmalı bir aşk yaşamış ve o süre boyunca Joan, Bob'un etrafında adeta bir pervane olmuştur. Bob onun sanatını küçümsemiş ve bir İngiltere turunda, son anda kendisiyle beraber sahneye çıkmasını engelleyerek ilişkiyi sonlandırmıştır. Tam 44 yıl sonra Bob, Joan'a berbat davrandığını ve ayrılıkları için o zaman kötü hissettiğini belirtir özrümsü bir şeyler mırıldanmışsa da, bu aşktan geriye kalan, somurtkan bir adama hayran hayran bakan sıcacık tebessümlü bir kadının yüzü ve Bob için yazdığı muhteşem ''Diamonds and Rust'' isimli şarkısıdır.
Your eyes bluer than Robin's eggs.. Original Vagabond...... Madonna was yours... Great words, singer & composition ....love it since 1976. Thank you MReineck !!!
I wouldn't say that this inspiration is his greatest merit. Nice song though. Bob also passed on some very pretty songs to Joan such as Farewell Angelina and Love is Just a Four Letter Word. Granted, Dylan isn't a saint.
@@robertflint2549, Bob didn't pass any songs to Joan. She confessed that she stole some songs that Bob wrote with some planks in water and he forgot them. He knows it too.
Such a touching song of a long, long love for someone who didn't give it back...you can feel the heartbreak in her words and in her voice....goosebums kind of love....
My God, how could society have touched upon such depth, only to numb out into our current zombie army of materialists? Oh God, please open the soul of humanity again, and let the gold flow, molten and profoundly violent in the sense of interior revision and rebirth. Let us trade physical violence and greed and fear for the re-sculpturing of divine consciousness.
Gledi Culiqi thank you. I know there are others who don't accept this materialistic death. I hope life goes well for you, Brother or Sister, whichever the case may be.
this chordal progression is marvelous and has been used beautifully by jewel in foolish games, elliott smith in between the bars, the cranberries in zombie, and pink floyd in time. it does much of your work for you if you can give a fresh spin
"Diamonds & Rust" 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 cufflinks 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 Would keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling 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 Because 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
It is so beautiful that it is painful. Their faces are the keys to memories of a time when I did not realize that so much beauty and richness was fleeting.
Today I woke up to this song when I was taking a nap. It was so beautiful that I had to get up and go to my kitchen to hear the rest of the song. I had never heard it before, but I just knew it had to be Joan Baez who was singing :) Can't stop listening!
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 cufflinks 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 would keep you unharmed now i see you standing with brown leaves falling 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 because 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
One of my indispensable loves... I'm glad you existed in this world and left an indelible mark on our hearts. We love you and your brave heart, Joan Baez! With my best wishes... 🌹
What a beautiful woman. I have listened to her melodies since I was born.
I miss those old days with phone booths and everything simpler. Glad i was there to experience it all.
One of the most beautiful song I ever heard, in the voice of an angel!
צודק לחלוטין
Hearing Joan Baez saying "I love you dearly" is probably the most beautiful sound a man can hear.
and 'I loved you dearly', the worst.
Absolutely..she is so beautiful! Charlie O'B
It’s I “loved” you dearly! Now it’s contempt!
Love your beautiful song❤
I missed the 60's. I was in the army 12/65-12/68. I served a year in Korea and a year in Viet Nam. It took me a few years to readjust from my army ways and by then, it was 1972. I grew my hair longer but still did not appreciate how great the 60's were and the fact they could never be duplicated. Now, I am a retired, 63 year old hippie, bicycle rider, weightlifter, jogger who is just loving and enjoying life. With this computer I have been able to find most of the songs that I have been humming
One of the most beautiful songs, and melody I have ever heard.
I grew up listening to my mother's music. I was born in '65, so I got the good stuff. For some reason, the sadder, more haunting stuff has become my favorite. This is absolutely one of my favorites.
One the best songs ever written.......only Joan Baez
Love this song by Joan Baez, Diamonds And Rust". Such a uniquely beautiful voice. Haunting ethereal music 🎵🎶
I feel in love with a blue eyed guy back in 1989 when I was just 22 he was 29 and this song so fits. I was so in love with him and then he just up and moved away but would still call me sometimes. I was hearbroken for years.
Beautiful and Great song!
This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Love, sad, happy, joyous, regretful, all consuming, distant and aloof and all its many perceptions. Joans is one of the most all encompassing Ive ever heard and its an honor to hear her sing about it.
Thank you Joan, for a song that weathers the test of time.
This song is such a masterpiece. Her voice, her lyrics, and her guitar playing. Flawless. And she does the best Bob Dylan impression on Simple Twist of Fate.
micah brew I'm agree with you. All song and each detail in this is perfect. Greetings from Chile.
Listen to that voice . . wow, such beauty, . .
BEAUTIFUL
Many appreciations!
Toujours aussi magnifique malgré les années qui passent....
merci madame baez, je suis francais et cela fait bien des années que vous illuminez mes jours, bons ou moroses de votre voix et de votre si grand talent des milliers de fois merci
This is the original version and it's still as beautiful today as it was in 1975. Unbeatable. This a great song you wrote, Ms Baez!!
"Well, I'll be damned - Here comes your ghost again" Perhaps one of the greatest opening lines of any song ever written.
Absolutely!
Yes, me too, I thought so. She tells it like it is! Love her.
Yes, back in the days when women weren't supposed to swear or be angry about anything!!! Powerful song.🤐
I'm sitting here, chills literally going up and down my spine, what a haunting voice!
One of the best love songs ever for me...
The voice of an Angel....
agreed
scott robertson Thanks...
+Kazimierz Naumowicz - zgadzam się w pełni, to jest głos Anioła!!
Roman Dłużniewski Dziękuję że podzielasz moje zdanie.Pozdr!
Yes
wonderful, pure voice.
Thank you, Joan, for this painfully emotive song that makes me SO glad I escaped an abusive relationship when I was only 21. Blissfully sad and joyous at the same time. 1st love ….
oh, joanie ye can still tear at me; 'eart and your nostalgia sweeps me back to the days when I, too was a folkie( long time passin')
Beautiful song by Joan - I saw them together in Concert in SLC Ut. in 76 - best Concert of my life - never forget it, they are legends....
❤. Изумительная лирика и музыка, написанная Джоан Баез! Слушаю снова и снова уже 50 лет❗️👏🌹🌺🌷🔥
I'm so thankful I grew up listening to Joan Baez.
Madame Baez, c'est quelqu'un. Fille de prof au MIT, elle partage sa vie avec Dylan et est présente dans toutes les luttes de libération. Chapeau ! Une femme merveilleusement intelligente, courageuse, et belle, ce qui ne gâche rien. Une icône de nos jeunesses passées et à venir. Quelle voix !
Words cannot describe this song ! Just BEAUTIFUL
My mom used to play this song when I was a child. It broke my hear then..
Me too
Joan's voice still cuts like a knife in this song....very beautiful, bittersweet account of something that obviously hurt her very much, but out of it came this haunting classic....
with Joan's voice and that guitar this may the best love song I"ve ever heard...wow....here's comes your ghost again...boy I've seen some ghosts of the past..
cuantos años, cuantos años y aun a mis 78 me emociona igual que la primera vez que la escuche....gracias Joan dondequiera que tu estes.
i've loved the same man for twenty years,he's never been mine,he'll never be mine,but he's always with me.....diamonds and rust
I'm sorry. I never received romantic love. Something for the beautiful women that aren't the disabled woman like me
Tú voz, tu alma y tu ser son diamantes regalados a este mundo, lleno de materialismo individualismo y mesquindad.
Eres una mujer hermosa con espíritu maravilloso y te admiro mucho. Desde Chile.
First time I've heard this- I've been listening to Judas Priest's cover of this for many years now and thought it was their song. This is a very moving song; nice. Great voice!
Oh wow must listen too
TRULY TIMELESS.....EXQUISITE UNDERSTANDING OF EMOTION ....THESE LYRICS ARE A PRICELESS WORK OF ART.....THANK -YOU FOR SHARING
This song make me think about life, time, memory and missing.
And about the fatal ending of so many love relations .... maybe of all of them
@@AlessandraPaganardi Oh!!! Do you have a lot of the fatal ending of love that?
I alway knew this song covered by Judas Priest. Today I heard this version playing over the intercom at wal mart. So I just had to look it up. This is just awesome. Wish I would have known sooner. I have discovered Joan Baez. Thank you God!!!
Beautiful lady, beautiful song. !
I have just now discovered this song (from the French movie "Frères"), and, wow, how totally amazing. Incredible lyrics! Thank you, Joan!
Beautiful voice, beautiful song. They don't make them like this anymore
Yeah they make them even better unlike the pish u listen to
Jordan Mcintyre dude if you don't like her you should probably go and listen to some music you do like instead of accosting her fans with your hate speach all because you are incapable of handling real emotion when you see it like a functionally Autistic Repiglican freak..This became her signature song because it seemed to bring closure to her 1960's romance with Bob Dylan that will always fascinate fans of either artist.

Don't u ever call me a freak again u filthy parasite
Jordan Mcintyre Here's what. You're entitled to your opinion & I'm entitled to mine. In case you've forgotten, this is a free world.
Christian Camlin I agree with you. This song is a classic. Ignore the negative comments.
Love You Joan!!! You are So beautiful Always.You are an Angel from the Stars.You bring Special Divine Feelings through that Blessed voice of yours.May All beings be Happy! May everyone find the Pure true Love that is within.
Voice of an angel
We need open mindedness to everything, couldn't have said it better.
Narrow mindedness is a road block, one will never learn.
Great song.
This song is a classic, beautifully written and sung. Thank you for posting.
I can cry all night long with this song!! Cause here comes your ghost again....but thats not unusual anyway....!!
quelle chanson magnifique interprétée par une artiste aussi talentueuse que généreuse !
this song still brings tears to my eyes and a chill down my spine
I'm only in my 20s but I was brought up listening to Joan Baez and think she is just phenomenal. I saw her in Birmingham last year and her voice was just as incredible all these years later.
beautifull and brilliant , and what a classic

what a great song i loved it nice one joan baez
It’s a beautiful song.
it is
We both know what memories can bring..... But memories keep us alive!!! One of my favorite songs.
Thanks for this. I'd forgotten how much I like this song.

I concur !
darlincommitme Really, especially since Joan is bi.
Nice contribution. Thank you for that. And yes, her most beautiful, if not one of the most beautiful of the genre and era.
I would add "Jesse" as another of one of her most poignant and deep soulfull songs!
Baez wrote: “My suite had a picture window looking out on a huge maple tree. I lined up the couch pillows on the floor so that I could lie down and look directly into the leaves which were flipping gently like the pages of an abandoned book, their two sides of slightly different hues.”
joan is my fave singer she has such a fantastic voice i can sit back and relax and enjoy listeniug to her for hours and she is absolutely gorgeous
One superb video! Great song! Good images! FIRST CLASS!
Thanks for offering this up!
This song by Joan Baez is played nearly 250 times on my iPhone in about 40 days time or so!!! Its the best version I've heard.
I don't think people truly realize that she is the original author of this song. "I like so-and-so's better" Well, those so-and-so's are all just covering her original work. And it's so emotional because she meant it to be, she was reflecting on her love for somebody. Just thought I'd share. I hate it when people look at an original song and say that covers are better.
sometimes covers are better. Ever here the original "Rusty Cage" compared to johnny cash's version?
Sometimes the covers ARE better. But this one is truly hard to top.
Sometimes covers are better. Usually that happens when the cover reinvents the song and creates a feeling/message that rivals or surpasses that of the original. Hendrix's cover of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" would be a good example. However, this song is deeply personal, so it's very difficult to cover -- especially when you're a rock band. And I don't think I'd want to hear the myriad of so-called "artists" who claim this song "speaks" to them and pay "tribute" to it by performing it in a way that silences the voice.
Sometimes covers are better. I'm jumping on this bandwagon.

And sometimes they are not.

She is fierce, always been.
this song drives me nuts i play it everday i yoused to have the lp but i never played it it i heard this now cant get anouth grew up with joan used to be in love with her all my trails song she is one talented woman and that voice

She meant every word. This is her Eulogy to Bob. It is sad. She is still in love.
I think I was about 18 or 19 at the time Joan and Bob blew our minds away. Cheers, my dearest!
Bob Dylan has earned a lot of merit in his life, but the greatest of his merits has been to have inspired "Diamonds and Rust". This song!
To Bob Dylan the GOAT

your poetry is lousy
where are you calling from?
james deroc Surprise my mind or continue waiting to die after a streak of conformity, cradle to the grave.
Great song and voice!
Judas Priest's version of this is amazing
Never been hit but so much emotion just from listening to one song. I think i need therapy now. What a singer!
this chordal progression is marvelous and has been used beautifully by jewel in foolish games, elliott smith in between the bars, the cranberries in zombie, and pink floyd in time. it does much of your work for you if you can give a fresh spin
After so, so many years, you are still SO alive in our hearts!!! God bless you for that, Joan and Bob!!!
"Diamonds & Rust"
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 cufflinks
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
Would keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling 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
Because 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
Thank. You!
It is so beautiful that it is painful. Their faces are the keys to memories of a time when I did not realize that so much beauty and richness was fleeting.
shes singing about Bob Dylan :)
You think?!
really, we didn't know that 😂
I listen this song almost three decade ... beautiful song
"Where are you calling from?
- a booth in the midwest."
BURN!
Today I woke up to this song when I was taking a nap. It was so beautiful that I had to get up and go to my kitchen to hear the rest of the song. I had never heard it before, but I just knew it had to be Joan Baez who was singing :) Can't stop listening!

Diamonds and Lust -
I wonder how he feels listening to this? This is an unbelievably good song a wonderful thing all round.
