I saw her about 10 years ago in Durham NC, where I was sitting on the 3rd row. She was fantastic, but she didn't do this song for the entire regular concert. On her first encore, she still didn't sing it so I stood and called for "Diamonds and Rust".....Her second encore ended the same way, and on her third encore, she looked and pointed at me and said "this is for you". :) I still get goose bumps thinking about this.

As far as other women that was happening when they were together. As a matter of fact even before.

Save him from himself? The man is the most acclaimed songwriter of all time and his career has played out perfectly fine without Joan’s saving, he did not require saving from Joan. As a matter of fact Joan contributed to pushing Dylan away because she was constantly demanding that he keep writing protest songs the rest of his life and actually rejected a proposal of marriage from him at one point.

There is several words of brilliance, in this song, as Paddington Brown says this is not poetry it is pure unadulterated LOVE she is singing a massive deep love song , to Bob and when she sings certain lines and her voice and how she drops down to lower notes I am emotionally knocked out, always brings tears with its magnificent unbelievable emotion , I love music amd a million songs , but some do something to you, that hit a deep spot. And these peope with the genius to write the words and music amaze me, especially about someone we think we know. Now another song that I would call a massive love song is "Let Her Cry" by Hootie and the Blowfish, not the same song style but the same power of love song , listen to the lyrics, and see what heart wrenching things the singer is telling in this music story. Last but not least , it is 2023,\. WHERE HAS THE DEEP QUALITY AND EMOTIONAL UPLIFTING MUSIC GONE??? I appreciate new styles but the feel is dying , the tune is going , there is no structure , songs are like Ads sometimes, so KZread thanks for a spot I can get lost in with my earphones. Words with meaning and put to good music and with feelings from the heart. And it is an older song and to David Vergari, you sir are spot on the mark, this song really does move people, deeply.

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 cuff links 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 Could keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling all 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 'Cause 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

I have never posted a reply or made any comment on youtube in 10 years. Never. This is a first for me, but my heart breaks for you both and I had to comment. I am not 'religious', but I believe that when you find your 'soul mate' (as you two so obviously have) you will never be parted - your partner will be waiting for you just beyond the veil and you will spend eternity together. My husband is 17 years my senior and I would do anything to 'go first' and not have to bear the burden of grief. Remember - grief is the price we pay for love. May you both be reunited again one day.....

@@arnoldblashak171 Dylan had an affair with Baez as his relationship with Suze Rotolo was ending partly due to Suze getting pregnant with Dylan's child and having an abortion in 1963. Baez lyric "You flew right into my arms. Temporarily lost at sea, the Madonna was yours for free, the girl on the half shell that would keep you unharmed" is a brilliant bit of self reflection.

This is my absolute favorite Joan Baez song. So beautiful.

Besides being utterly beautiful, "Diamonds and Rust" is among the most haunting, nakedly honest autobiographical songs ever recorded. Most of us have had the experience at one time or another of having an old lover suddenly appear out of nowhere, leaving us feeling, for a time at least, shattered, confused, and conflicted. But no one I can think of has ever captured that experience better than Baez did in this song. It also nails the vibe of New York City on a cold autumn day. This is poetry/songwriting at its very best.

ericynot,, I can't find the words to thank you for your beautiful, heartfelt, intelligent and lovely post. I was choking back emotion while watching Baez's French TV studio close-up performance of this song in a French studio, then saw this video with lyrics & photos of Baez & Dylan. I had wished for the photos to age along with them & the lyrics, but am grateful for what Dave Bing took the time to do for the rest of us. I was particularly taken with what I assume is Baez' meaning behind the lyric "You say you aren't nostalgic..." Dylan may have won the Nobel but he wouldn't get a Milk of Human Kindness prize. I've personally experienced a lover from my youth refusing to acknowledge the depth & sweetness of our relationship. Anyway ericynot, I hope you are, in fact, a critic. Selfishly I hope you are because your talent should be shared beyond KZread music pages. Thank you again.

I was already a fan when I first heard this song, and at the time I was young and knew nothing of it's connection to Bob Dylan (because I was young and there was no Internet, things were 'normal'...this was still my favorite song of hers. The key and chords are almost of another world, it's like nothing I've ever heard and it expresses feelings I also never heard before then. Now I am lucky enough to have TWO copies of this LP, one in stereo and the other in QUAD for the day I have a fine enough phonograph setup to listen to it properly.

My God what a powerful song! Enormous declaration of love and contempt together. I love you Joan, that guy did not deserve.

Men Dylan's age were trained from birth to ignore deep feelings, so many of them ended up angry, confused, and broken hearted for decades. Doesn't excuse their behavior, but if women want men to understand them, they need to know understanding is a two-way street. Insults do not always help.

I first heard songs of Joan Baez in Russia way bsck in 1975 in Belarus ( then under USSR) and it mesmerized me .Since then over lsst 45 yrs l am her fan as because she has very unique voice which you can't copy. More zJoan Baez songs l like to listen. S. N. Laha from lndia

A gorgeous, transcendent requiem for her relationship with Dylan.

How fortunate some of us are to have lived when a lot of music was enduring art. Great music will never die.

My class 8 class-teacher sat with us on the stairwell in the corridor in front of our classroom, and talked about Joan Baez and how we should hear her too (since we were familiar with Bob Dylan by then). Then she took my guitar and played us a couple lines. And these little "informative meetings" happened a few times every week. In between classes, during recess. (This was around 2010). I miss you, Ms. Shauli, 8C, Auxilium Convent Bandel :)

Joan Baez voice… her guitar.. i’ll be damned.. its so fantastic almost unreal. ❤️😭

I thought I had found my soul mate late in life. Thought it was time to feel some joy and happiness so I got myself down from behind the walls and opened the door. She ripped my heart out and shoved me off the cliff, and I saw myself falling slowly to dash to pieces on the rocks below. I listened to this song and others but I played this over and over as I picked up the pieces and glued my heart back together and started walking back to close and bolt the door and climb back up behind the walls. Music like this, so raw and unfiltered, helped staunched the bleeding and let me heal. Thanks Joan.

You'll get over. Nice profile name BTW

The first time I heard this song was in 1979 in Casablanca, Morocco. At this point, I was a senior in high school in a small podunk town about 200 miles away from Casablanca. Besides my committed love for Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Cat Stevens, Track and Field -especially long-distance running- was my life. In school, my favorite class was English. and after three years of immersing myself in the language, I was somewhat pretty good at understanding spoken English. I was a kid who did not get allowance money, or had a job but managed to save for important needs, and at this period in my life, I desperately needed some good running shoes for competing, however, the clothing shops in the small town where I lived had only "Saroukh Brand" plastic generic sneakers that stunk the minute you put them on. Not finding the right pair of competition-level shoes, I grabbed the meager savings I had and took the overnight train in the "Quatrième Classe" (the lowest economic class in the rear car with the chickens and goats) to the big city. After a few inquiries on where to find good running shoes in the largest city in Morocco, I was led to Souk Smat, a flea market of a sort in the old Medina of Casablanca. Zigzagging between the droves of people from one stall to the next, I finally hit the jackpot of the everything-abroad shop as if I literally stumbled on heaven. This shop specialized in imported black market items from the US and Europe. There was running gear just like what the Track and Field stars (Lasse Viren, Frank Shorter, Henry Rono, to name a few who adorned my room walls) wore, all kinds of Levis Blue Jeans, hip sunglasses, some second-hand stuff as well, etc, in short, the coolest stuff ever for an insignificant kid from a Middle-of-Nowhere town. As I was haggling with the shopkeeper over these incredible Nike sneakers, I saw a Joan Baez album that I have never seen before with Baez in her iconic straw hat picture facing me in the corner of the tiny shop. My focus immediately shifted to "The Best Of Joan C. Baez" vinyl album, I asked the seemingly annoyed shopkeeper to play a couple of songs from the album for me before I bought it. From the minute the first song (Diamonds And Rust) started playing, I just lost it, and by the time "Prison Trilogy" song hit, I was sobbing in a trance-like fashion, not worrying about the gathered mesmerized crowd surrounding me or the shopkeeper. I will never forget that shop or that moment, it was like a freight train of emotions hit me at a vulnerable time with the most sincere words and music that only The Queen of Folk in her prime could create. I skipped the shoes, gave the shopkeeper all the money I had, and lingered on an empty stomach for hours (with my new-found treasure underarm) in the fascinating boulevards of Casablanca until the past-midnight train ride so I could easily bunk the train for nearly 200 miles by getting off the train at almost every town and village and getting back on the last train car that the ticket inspector had just visited. Years later I eventually immigrated to the USA, officially named myself Dylan after his Bobness, and had a great family, etc. I saw Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez many times in concerts, and my innocent youth promise, decades ago, was to meet Bob Dylan in person (Dylan is my love, my idol, my god and guru. Sorry Joan), but after many crazy attempts, I doubt that I will ever fulfill that dream. On the contrary, I have met Joan Baez in person twice; once backstage at a concert in Denver where I sang "Jari Ya Hamouda" with her, and once one evening on August 2, 1996, in the woods of Poudre Canyon in the Rocky Mountains near a small motel where she was staying during a very small outdoor concert at the Mishawaka Amphitheatre in Bellvue, Colorado. When we lived in Colorado Springs, My French friend Fabien LOEWENGUTH, who is also a big fan of Joan Baez, and I took the 4-hour drive with much anticipation to see Joan Baez, and after getting lost for a bit, we eventually made it in the nick of time, that concert was very low-key and just outstanding, especially being in the middle of the mountains, there were not many people, which made it fantastic for all the attendees and very intimate being very close to Joan Baez. I do not remember the songs she played, but the set was dreamy with a few songs from the Play Me Backwards album. Mid-concert, it started raining lightly and despite that, Joan insisted on playing until "it starts sparking" she said. Sure enough, the thunderous rain started sparking the electric cables, at which point the concert came to a frantic halt and everyone scattered for safety. Joan and the band run uphill to the motel where they were staying, but the hardcore devotees huddled around hoping for a sign from the Queen, however after an hour or so of relentless rain everyone left. Fabien kept insisting that we should also leave especially after the innkeeper kept pestering us and that we still had 4 hours of driving back home in severe weather conditions. I had brought a few books and about 40 or so sleeves from my collection of Joan Baez's official and non-official bootleg CDs with me just in case, and refused to leave without at least having her autograph them. A few minutes passed when the innkeeper burst from the gate threatening to call the sheriff's office if we didn't leave immediately, I was in dismay when I sprung and told him that I was not leaving unless he took Joan Baez's books and CD jackets to her, he agreed to do so, and I pulled my pen and wrote "you mean so much to the oppressed and the politically persecuted people of the world" and signed it "dylan" on the cover of the album that contains "Natalya Gorbanevskaya", a song about a Russian dissident who later became a close friend to Joan (I can't remember the album's title now). A long time went by and the rain had stopped, I thought, what a big mistake I made? I will never see my collection back. To my surprise, not only I got everything back, but the Queen of Folk herself brought them back with all humility, barefoot in a blue jeans shirt and shorts, and above all with the hugest welcoming smile that I have seen on Joan Baez. I was about to faint when she asked "Who is this Dylan?" Very funny I thought (Tears are rolling in my eyes as I am typing this now). Among the things I sent with the innkeeper was a photograph of me and Joan Baez from my backstage visit with her the year prior that my wife took, so she mentioned that she remembered me well and my great singing, I told her that I had two choices to name myself, either Dylan or Gandhi, and that my wife preferred Dylan, and also that if I were a woman, I would have named myself Joan or Baez, she thought that I should have gone with Gandhi. My friend Fabien joined us, and we took pictures and talked for what seemed an eternity about everything that mattered. She asked about my connection with Gandhi, about the Human Rights situation in Morocco, and was genuinely interested in us than just a fan-and-idol relationship. It was getting dark by now, we gave each other hugs and left, me with joy, sadness, and tears. That was an experience of a lifetime, that only confirms my belief in Joan Baez as an incredible human being. Some months later, Joan Baez went to sing in Morocco for the first time, and I am convinced it was because of that encounter. My friends in Morocco don't believe that I had anything to do with it, of course not! Love to you Joan, and may stay forever young.

This song, with Joan singing it and the music behind her is a classic love song for the ages. Tragic ❤️ love

Lots of guts to bring it all out there - the iconic love story that never made it to the final round. "You're telling me you're not nostalgic, well - give me another word for it. You were so good with words and at keeping things vague." Wow. Moves me every time.
