Her Diamonds

Rob Thomas, lead singer for Matchbox 20, has recorded a song about autoimmune diseases called "Her Diamonds."  His wife suffers from a lupus like condition.  I am not sure what that could be besides APS.  Some reports says she HAS lupus but I can't find it confirmed by anyone officially.  It is a beautiful song and if you enjoy it, please buy it on iTunes so we show their is a market for these songs.  Any celebrity exposure is good for our cause.  To check  out the video for free on You Tube, click here .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
I read one comment that I think hit the nail on the head about what the video means; 

What i get from this video is that there is a girl; she is crying over something that she knows that she cant change, but she cries anyways. She feels like nothing will get any better and she cant win; she's tired of crying though, but she dont know what to do to fix it. When she breaks out of the ice it signifies she is done crying; she cant take it no more; and realizes there is a chance. And the sun shining through the window signifies hope for a better day. 

Wow, that is very insightful and makes the video even deeper in meaning.  I haven't broken through my ice yet by any means but I hope I am melting a little bit.  I am so ready to be free of the pain, anger and sadness over having such an alienating, incurable disease.  Thanks Rob and I hope you continue to use your celebrity to put a spotlight on lupus and other autoimmune diseases.  

 
Song Lyrics:

Oh what the hell she said
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down

Man there's so many times
I don't know what I'm doing
Like I don't know now

By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night
Can make you blind
I can just imagine

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be

And she says ooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now

She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win it
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down, way down

She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know i could break her concentration
But it don't feel right

So by the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
But don't let her see

And she says ooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now

She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win it
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
She'll be alright
She'll be alright
Just not tonight

And she says ooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now

She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win it
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
No more, no more, no more
Diamonds falling down

I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
No more, no more, no more
Diamonds falling down

I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
(No more, no more)
Her diamonds falling, all her diamonds
Diamonds falling down

I can't take these diamonds falling down.
