This song goes through my mind frequently, as it does this quiet Sunday morning on my porch . Recalling my wife of 30 years , but who was called Home 24 years ago after losing a battle with cancer in 1997 . This day is one of stone , but I fondly remember many that were diamond . May she RIP .

You were blessed to have those diamond memories, some people live their whole life and never even have a day of true love. May your wife rest in peace until you meet again for a blessed eternity

He once sang with Pavarotti. It was amazing. I found it on an All tine greatest hits CD set I bought New Zealand.

This song reminds me of the pain I went through for the past year and half, fighting MRSA in my blood and spine and abdomen. Doctors didn't think I make it. This was the hardest time I ever had in my life . There was a time I just wanted over . I felt so helpless my doctor's said fight it don't give up. You can beat this . I also caught osteomyelitis right behind it . I would scream at the top of my lungs. The pain was so bad. I turned to jelly no strength . Lost all muscle tone . I couldn't clean myself, I lost my self respect my dignity, my self esteem. I wanted to just quit. But I kept on going saying I can beat this. It took 5 operation, and 5 blood transfusion . And being cut all the way around my abdomen. 87 staples two operation on my spine and 1 in my abdomen. to finally eradicate this infection. and on antibiotics 9 months. And by the grace of God I am finally MRSA free of this demon . I never quit and I never gave up. But as of the 26 February 2024 I beat it. I give all the glory to the man up stairs and my family who was my support. And the doctor's. And staff and nurses who put up with my shit . But still stay with me through it all.

This song is actually very profound statement. I have loved it since it was first released. "The truth is hard to come by". And that gets harder every day!

I have grown up with John’s music. I am 44 years young. I give my Daddy credit for that. We sang allot of John’s songs together as Dad and Daughter. We sang this particular song when scattering my Grandmas ashes when she died. Jesus called him home December 2 2016. At a remembrance service in 2019 around Christmas I sang verse 1 of this song accupella in memory of Dad. The whole congregation loved 🥰 it.

I saw him at the Apollo in London, I'm 66 Male from UK, this guy defines my youth, him and Simon and Garfunkel, his songs just hit the right note with me, 'Some days are diamonds and some days are stone', sums up live to a T. Taken too soon !

This song stopped a cocaine addiction that would have killed me. "Now the face I see in the mirror, more and more is a stranger to me, more and more I see a danger of becoming what I never thought I would be"

Such a Talent ... WOW ... missed by all ....

Legend singer badly missed...... Rip john one of the greatest songwriter and humanitarian........ 👍

John Denver is AWSOME

That day was back on March 27th, 1983 was a crazy day back in North Truro, Massachusetts. Mom had an old record player and she was playing John Denver over and over again: Some Days are Diamond (Some Days are Stone). ❤

One of his Best

This song reminds of struggles I'm going through

Such a beautiful song! Not nearly appreciated enough!!

Miss you man Rest in peace

I dedicate this song to Eddie Montgomery he lost 2 sons then 2017 lost his best friend Troy Gentry I feel his pain I lost my best friend Jenna in a car accident.

This song means so much to me.

Oh gosh he was a Legend 😮😮😮😢😢

We (I) miss you John Denver. You were taken from us far too early. What a unique voice and talent you shared with our world. "Diamonds" as I often refer to this piece, has been an ongoing source of reflective comfort to me, in love and in life. Such has been the impact of the music and sound of John Denver upon my life. Thank you. Rest in eternal peace.

this song is what my life is and always has

My husband and I saw him in concert in the 70s, 80s and 90s. His music never changed. I could have sat for hours listening to him.

how did i miss this one? oh, in 1986, i wasn't listening to this music anymore because i was young adult going to clubs. heard it on the 80s channel on sirius this morning. all days have been stone for a long time now.

One of my alltime favourite songs.

Yes Logan Lucky, again brought by moves.

Love this guy.

this song is my life exactly

Many, many years ago, I lie in bed still experiencing the previous night's alcohol. I had recently went through a divorce. The second verse came to mind, as I contemplated going to work, hung over.

Heard this in the Logan Lucky film. Love it!

Dean Cobb ... Sorry for your loss.. I’m listening to this song today because today is definitely stone. We lost our home to hurricane Michael, roughly 6mos later.. we moved into our new home. That was April 2018 June 8 2018, found my wife in the shower, she had a stroke. Ambulance rushed her to the hospital and she survived, the stress of losing everything and starting over took a toll on her. Two months later she was diagnosed with mixed dementia. I’ve been her full time caregiver since I brought her home. Took her to her scheduled doctor appointment last week and was informed there wasn’t anything else that can be done. Just keep on doin what I’m doin, keep giving her medications and love. Today.. she’s havin memory lapses.. We’ve been married 35yrs It’s days like today i wish reality would take a break.. Some days are diamonds , some days are stone... Some days the hard times won’t leave us alone....
