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
@@sarahshouse1890 I am looking forward to eternity and being reunited forever. We had many good years and good times together. It is a comfort to think on those times. Thank you for the kind words.
This song is #1 on my top 100. I have loved this song since I first heard it. I am 81 now and this brings tears to my eyes remembering all my diamonds and stones over the last 81 years. God rest John Denver's soul. Thank you John for the greatest song EVER!!
The gut that wrote this is ow transgender woman. Talk about right in the mix with politics. Gives a new meaning to this. I about died when I saw it. Most refevelant in this day and age! Love this song
Really hits home, having lost my wife 3 months ago. The grief is unimaginable. I learnt playing this song when it first came on the air. It’s time I pick up the guitar again🎸👌💔😢😊
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 must have played John Denver’s songs for my Mother even when she had Dementia I would belt it out with her and she was happy briefly and that is what counted !!!!!
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.
haven’t heard this song since i was a young man…. hearing it now, i know it says “stone” i always thought is said “coal” many years back…. 😂 all the years i’ve sung this in my head…. always “somedays a diamond, somedays are coal “ 😂 i like that better 👍🏼 makes more sense. john denver, you’re loved by many .. 🙏🏼 many blessings to you on the other side 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My beautiful dad’s exit, funeral song, his first, being , take me home, country roads. My wonderful dad, grew up, in very hard times, the strength, of the family. He reminisced on these times, when he old, not through regret, but love ! Knowing, he was dying, and leaving us all. 1936/1914. God Bless You, My Dad,and Best Friend. We will, laugh together again xxxx and Mum , will roll her eyes at us haha xxx
I love love my John Denver love this song it reminds of my Dads passing 15 years ago John will always be my very favorite artist keep him in my heart and never leave me his music and he lives within me all the time ❤😊
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 !
Remember back when performers sang "live" for TV. No recordings. Yes, I do too. These folks were great. And John Denver was one of the best ever. Thanks John!
No truer words were ever spoken than sometimes the wind blows a chill in my bones . At my age it really does if y'all live to be 80 YEARS OLD you will know it
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.
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). ❤
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.
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"
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.
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....
@@andrewhiggins9835 I can't handle reality either. So sorry for what you are going through. My wife of 37 years has been sickly and diabetes for 25 years. Just really difficult for me to handle the stress. I hate my life and yours is worse. I would not survive it without my Jesus. 😢

Somedays are Diamonds but today is a stone. Praise God for the good and bad because without the bad we would not appreciate the good!
Amen to that

My sincere condolences. Lost my husband 2 years and 5 months ago
Condolences to both of you .....loss my only child in motorbike accident 2 years ago ....today is his birthday ❤
So sorry for your loss. I lost my husband 12 yrs ago. It sucks. I was 54 65 now. Jim was 58. Prayers and hugs for you.
John had a song for every emotion
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!
As a very long-time fan of John Denver, I am befuddled that I don't remember ever hearing this song before today!
I sure do miss him.
Yor pain screams through between what you don't say. I'm here if you need a chat. Zx
A stunning talent. He left a great catalog and legacy. At times his voice was close to operatic.
He once sang with Pavarotti. It was amazing. I found it on an All tine greatest hits CD set I bought New Zealand.
John Denver forever

another tragic loss of a gifted artist that went far too soon.
This song reminds of struggles I'm going through
Such a beautiful song! Not nearly appreciated enough!!
Oh gosh he was a Legend 😮😮😮😢😢
John Denver is AWSOME
This song means so much to me.
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). ❤
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.
Miss you man Rest in peace
this song is my life exactly
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.
It's a difficult time here on planet earth... some days I'm not that unhappy that he didn't live long enough to endure what is happening now.
I've thought about that, too.
God takes the best ones to be with him and Jesus first.
Jack and Bobby Kennedy
One of his Best
One of my alltime favourite songs.
There will never be such a talented singer ever again, R I P John Denver,
Ohhhhhh..hahhh
I remember singing this song and actually understsnding the lyrics...ever so often in my adult life it pops ...
Love this guy.
I remember this song from my childhood listening to my parents 8tracks.
up there with the best
most are stones, but then we have the music to console us
superbe chanson, avec une voix superbe
Powerful 😢😢😢😢😢
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"
Maravilloso!!!!!
For anyone who hasn't heard this John Denver album, they should get it. Some great songs are on it and it was recorded in Nashville.
Which album?
@@lindas-k5766 The album is titled Some Days Are Diamonds
So lovely wonderful you make everything

Right! Wasn't his skin/face beautiful in this video?
When I was incarcerated this song was on most everyday makes you think about those you leave behind
Played this over and over after my first wife of 42 years died in 2009.
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.

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....
@@andrewhiggins9835 Deep sorry to hear your story. From far away Korea.
@@andrewhiggins9835 I can't handle reality either. So sorry for what you are going through. My wife of 37 years has been sickly and diabetes for 25 years. Just really difficult for me to handle the stress. I hate my life and yours is worse. I would not survive it without my Jesus. 😢
Fantastic song ♥️👍
Song was written by Dick Feller and was first released in 1975, but John Denvers cover version is the best
for sure...………….smile
This man ♡ makes me happy even when I feel sadness in my heart.
song says it all. Some days are diamonds and some are stones. Far out
