"Under the beautiful moonlight, there remains no ugly reality; even muds turn into the diamonds!"

"Diamonds & Rust" started off as another song. Then the words started to morph. When you write a song that deep, the words come from some place else. But when the songs stop coming, it would be so contrived to try and force it. Since then I've just been doing other people's music.
