who wrote diamonds and rust
Diamonds & Rust by Joan Baez. In this song, Joan Baez is singing to her former lover Bob Dylan, fondly reminiscing about their 1960s affair. Baez said that this gave her inspiration to write Diamonds & Rust, and that she lied to Dylan, telling him it was about David Harris, to whom she was married from 1968-1973. Bob Dylan rarely reveals much about his songs, but his track Queen Jane Approximately is most likely his take on his relationship with Baez.
