Such a sad but beautiful song...Her Diamonds


Since I really LOVE this song I thought about making a special entry about it...
A few days ago I was watching TV and I saw this Rob Thomas video for his new single called "Her Diamonds" and it impressed me very much. I always liked Rob Thomas' songs and since I haven't heard anything from him in a while I decided I wanted to watch the whole video. I found the video interesting but the song...the song is amazing :) I absolutely love the lyrics, they're so deep, meaningful...I didn't expect anything less from such a great singer. I always believed that his lyrics are so meaningful, unlike the same old boring lyrics we hear every day from the new artists...
I know it's a sad song but it's still beautiful... the reason that stands behind this song (his wife has a very rare illness; she's struggling with an auto-immune disoreder which, from what I've read, means that the body starts attacking/destroying itself) is making me very sad. The lyrics speak for themselves...

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 oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz 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 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
And don't let her see

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz 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 all right
She’ll be all right
Just not tonight

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz 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
