Song of The Day | Diamonds and Rust - Joan Baez

 The most heart aching sad song from our Joanie!


while we were contemplating Joan’s birthday just lately and thinking that one of the first singles I bought was by her (from the bargain bins) ‘There But For Fortune’ [a Phil Ochs’ song] this came up and reminded me what a heartfelt superb piece of writing this is about heartbreak and long distance relationships whether separated by distance or time. It is assumed it is about her relationship with Bob . . . . . 

This song always haunts me . . . . . .. .
