Diamonds and Rust (Cover)

from Grazer Linuxtage - Workshops by Cold Whisper

/

about

This song was used as "hands-on" example for my 2023's music production workshop at the Grazer Linuxtage.

For time reasons, the Drums, Bass and Guitar tracks were prepared upfront already. The vocal tracks (2 full takes) and the applause at the end were recorded at the workshop itself.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I'll be damned,
here comes your ghost again.
But that's not unusual.
It's just that the moon is full
and you decided to call.

Verse 2:
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.

Chorus 1:
Well, we both know what memories can bring me,
bring diamonds and rust.
Yes, we both know what memories can bring,
bring me diamonds and rust.

Bridge:
I see you standing all around
with snow in your hair.
You're smiling out the window of that 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.

Chorus 2:
Diamonds, diamonds and rust.
Diamonds, diamonds and rust.
I don't want no more diamonds, diamonds and rust.
I don't want no more diamonds, diamonds and rust.
I don't want no more diamonds, diamonds and rust.
Diamonds, diamonds and ... rust.
