about

'Diamond' is a reminder that we’re already home. Everything we’re looking for is inside of us.

"Dowd’s soulful voice shines best in tracks like “Diamond,” a mid-tempo tune that’s also the first song that she wrote for the album. Here, Dowd sings about believing in herself and her inner self, rather than outside voices – “I used to call out to someone up above/I never heard a word/So I gave up.” Joe MacPhail’s subtle organ line lends a little bounce to this dirt road rocker." - Americana Highways

Diamond is "about the spark within that shines even when you feel lost and have given up on your faith" - Folk Radio UK

lyrics

I used to know all the answers
To all the questions weighing on my soul
I used to call out to someone up above

I never heard a word
So I gave up

Sometimes I feel like a diamond clear as the light
Sometimes I feel like a miner left behind in the dark

Nobody told me I could believe
In a divine that lives within me
You know it takes time to bury it with your mind
It takes even more time
To let it shine

Sometimes I feel like a diamond clear as the light
Sometimes I feel like a miner left behind in the dark

So I called out just to see
If anyone would answer me
And I heard that sweet voice call from deep down inside
Saying I’ve been here all this time
To tell you that you’re already home
You’re already home
You’re already home

Sometimes I feel like a diamond clear as the light
Sometimes I feel like a miner left behind in the dark

I used to know all the answers
