Blue Rodeo - Diamond Mine Lyrics

Damn! I have never heard this song before right now! Awesome.

The way the guy carries his voice and draws out the words is great. My favourite Blue Rodeo tune. This one is the best.

Canadian music is the framework of my imagination

A great gatdamn song.

Still one of my all-time favorite songs, all these years later.

Greg Keelor is one of the most cool artist out there

Another great Canadian band that we in the States miss it's a shame 😁

I need to get out of this country and move to Canada.

It's kind of nice here. Especially the small towns, I think. Stay away from the big cities.

This is the first Blue Rodeo song I heard. Hooked since then.

The very first time I heard this song in 1989 I was hooked. After hearing all the synth-pop of the 80s (which I didn't really like), this was a breath of fresh air. Guitars, bass, drums and organ. Interesting verses, bridges and refrains. Great harmonies. Old-school rock. I was an instant Blue Rodeo fan and I've been one ever since. This song made me a fan!

GREAT SONG... LOVE IS ALL ♥️🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🎶🎙🎶🎵🎼🥁🥁📱📱🎸🎶🎵🎼🎙

Haven't heard this song in over 25 years, but it still sounds great.

This is sacred music.

Their best song by far.

This is an awesome Canadian band. Lucky me, I live close to Canada and listen to some of the Canadian radio stations from BC! Another fantastic band is the Tea Party... I love them so much! Thank you, Canada for these fantastic bands!

Excellent Song! The video could have done with a little extra lighting but the song is still gold... or diamond.

This song blow me away when i first heard it year ago.... The extended version with the solo in between verses is magnificent. Love to do some music with this band. 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋💯

Love the video so simple but so good. The music is great to.

Love this band...he kind of has an Elvis Costello thing happening with his voice in this song. Do you guys see it?

Musique de qualité! Bravo à vous Blue Rodeo!

Sounds as good now as it did in '89. This deserves to be much bigger than it was.

Classic iconic tune, Canadians are so proud of
Blue Rodeo. 👍💜

I just saw these guys at the Budweiser Stage... even better live.... it was one of those nights that felt so old time Canadian, it brought a tear to my eye

There best song? So cool....

Why are people so eager to be so cruel?

Jim Cuddy's guitar on this is obscene.

I loved this song when it came out and I still love it. One of my fav Canadian songs of all time. I agree, why didn't this get more attention world wide?

❤ this song

so good thanks

These guys always reminds me when i lived in my birth place in Saskatchewan

This sound is so different... can't put my finger on it. Wow!

just about perfect

Still love this song

This tune kicks ass....

maybe its not worldwide hit, but it sure is a Canadian hit....and one in my mind and heart, forever and then....

Love the Ray Manzarek keyboard fills pretty Doors style/

Saw them at the Molson Ampitheatre summer of '89 touring the Shite out of this album.
Manzarak was an animal that night - never seen a keyboards player come so close to stealing the show before, or since. The whole band was just on FIRE!
Closed out the night with a ROUSING rendition of NY's Hurricane - Sublime. :-)
... Good Times !

Garth Hudson rules.

Saw this video on Much Retro today and I appreciate this song even more than I did back in 1999. Awesome song!

21 losers just don't get it. but 684 cool folks do get it :)

I gave it a like and I'm not cool.

666 people "Like" this! O.O

Yes sir Jim..

I am from Canada and I can hear the folk, country, and rock tradition here. This is real Canadian music.

This song holds great meaning for me. Yep but it's not your business. LOL!

They are truly one of the most under rated bands when it comes to the rest of the world....the garbage people listen to, and so many of my international friends have no clue about Blue Rodeo and just how good they are....I call them the Canadian Eagles LOL

Any one notice how much this sounds like a 60s song? Specifically the doors

david gold Bob Wiseman had a lot to do with their early psychedelic sound. So much space in the verses of this song. 💛

The Doors meet Tom Petty

Definite Petty sound to this brilliant song.

I love the drums in this one.

DIAMOND MINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Seeing blue rodeo tonight in Hamilton Ontario with my parents. They have seen them many times and tonight I get to share that experience with them. You only live once. Get to know your parents. Rock on everyone.

your parents have great taste in music
you are in for one heck of a great show

I'm in love with you Greg Keelor. There. I said it.

Damn! This is one sexy video, and they're not even trying.

Just saw them at the Kemptville Music Festival. It made my evening when they performed this one in spite of the thunder storm earlier in the evening. They still have it!

Like a Diamond mine....

Awesome tune!

Fantastic song. Makes me proud to be Canadian. Thanks.

Just 1 more reason.

Wtf is wrong with the 8 people who gave a thumbs down?

Jim Smith blue rodeo is in the top 5 of Canadian bands in my eyes, their up there with the hip, rush and April wine

Americans lol jk.

Amit Singh 😂 Yep! Jk

Still stands the test of time Canadian treasures...sparkling like...

Jason Raymond Very few songs are global hits because musical culture is somewhat specific but nevertheless I agree with you. There are strong remnants of Bob Dylan in this song. 👍

Fantastic song!

peace!!

5 people have no ears

My nephew works in a diamond mine as a millwright. One Christmas just after he got the job, my family was talking a lot about it, and this song started playing in my head every time I heard the words "diamond mine". #Pavlovian

Un sacrament de bon band merci pour le post

horrible audio on this but great song

BUMP UP ALL YER LEVELS AND IT KRANKS WIITHOUT DISTORTION

oh man i need some more weed lol 

+Rocker5593Smoke one for me too bud, i'll smoke one for you...next best to ????

Blue Rodeo is really a very good band - music is absolutely melodic with great riffs and driving rhythm.

well done ~ aloha

This is pure genius. I love these guys!

Christina Wilson totally agree

hell of a tune

This should have been a worldwide hit...

I lived there from 1982 to 1990. I remember this song well, my father bought the CD. We've been back in the Netherlands for a long time now, but still visit Canada sometimes....

My dad bought it as well, I remember him playing it in the car and signing along with it to try to make me and my sister laugh =)

This song kicks ass...always has...always will. One of the best bands ever.

I was just saying the same thing to myself

It's good some people like it. The worlds loss.

Still gives me a little chill up my spine hearing this song a quarter century after the first time...

30 years now it's still amazing :-)

@First Last One of the most highly underrated bands of all time!

just a canadian type of blues. who cares where the blues started.....this is the real deal. if you don't love it...change your channel. you have to have a passport to get here anyways, and if you can't get across the border, you just don't know what you're missing. thanks for this bar having internet!! hahahaha

didn't even have to lift a shovel to dig for it. i struck it rich after the first word and i even felt rich, with not a dollar in my pocket. can you imagine that? i doubt it, unless you ever felt it.....and i doubt that too....:):):)

I love it... from one Canadian to another...

What a fucking cool bass line you guys kick ass !!!!!!

Good tune no new artists these days unless you like country

I have always lived this song

I love this song!

Just outstanding!!! They still rock!!!!

possibly the best song from the 80s

Love both songs...New Orleans is Sinking is my ring tone :)

CFNY 102.1 FM Toronto :)

E minor pen but still sick..

SICK guitar..

Still smokes after all these yrs. Thanks.

...I remember waking up to this on "The Edge" every morning when I was in highscool out here in Burlington...great way to start the morning...I'd just stay in bed an watch the sun rise as the song would play...amazing...

Went to a hip concert in Minny. Maybe 14 people there. The two of us were the only ones into them. The rest played pool. Sad

Blue Rodeo is a diamond mine...

Except the loyalist migration is considered one of the greatest population influxes in this countries history

Thanks for bringing me back to see it again!

Me too!!! Exactly what you said!!!!!

very good underrated song

I used to blast the shit out of this every time it came on MuchMusic. 23 years later & I still think Greg Keelor is dead sexy in this.

I have a Canadian 80's playlist that I'll play and I'll have friends (here in Atlanta) go "wow, who is THAT?" when this song comes on. This one and the Tragically Hip's "New Orleans is Sinking"...great stuff that most Americans never even heard of.

oh yah!!! gorgeous video. what a great video.

I'm loath to correct a sympathetic brother from the south, the French and English part is correct but I guess they didn't mention who burned Washington and the White House in 1814:(

'all it does is make me kinda wonder why are people so eager to be so cruel?"...another great heart breaker from Blue Rodeo and one of my all time favorites from them...some of the greatest writing from a band ever

d80 waffles I think you need to do your research on Canada we were not founded BY AMERICANS fleeing wars MORON. We colonized by the French and the English yes..

meh... Canada is made up of many cultures and nations and is very multicultural, the nation itself was founded by Americans, french, and English peoples escaping the overseas wars of the time. so by insulting canadians, in essence you insult yourself. just saying. :)

Almost enough to make me like Canadians..
