If people find no reason to cold-shoulder someone, then they invent something. The metaphorical Winter caused by envy.

Story behind the song
If there's no reason to dislike or cold-shoulder someone, people will invent one. Diamonds in the Snowlight are the erroneous beliefs some people have, thinking others are better off than they are. The story of being frozen out due to envy. I hope the piano parts convey snowflakes in a blizzard against bitterly cold scenery (the metaphorical Winter we all have to battle sometime in our lives) - the day the song was written & the image I had in mind.
Lyrics
DIAMONDS IN THE SNOWLIGHT The changing face of some people turns like a Winter town, Looking out through their eyes of silent stone, There's colder comfort with the social crowd, Fit in their frame, or be alone. Yeah, Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight (Snowlight) Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight Shine so bright. Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight (Snowlight) Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight Shine so bright. A lonesome face at a window quietly dignified, Bitter winds laugh and steal from broken trees, This frosty season never can deny, Were all what someone else believes. Yeah, Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight (Snowlight) Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight Shine so bright. Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight (Snowlight) Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight Shine so bright. Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight (Snowlight) Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight Shine so bright. Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight (Snowlight) Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight Shine so bright.

Hey Rodz, dropped in to say thanks for your wonderful comments on 'try' - made my day re; Bolan/T Rex, thanks so much for that - just had to listen again to this brilliant piece of sophisticated pop, wonderful music and so radio friendly in every way! Also, very cool re; Steve Harley who I admire much, not surprising you moved in his circles, your work's top notch, ace!

Sorry for missing this wonderful new song from you Rodz, a superbly delivered piece from you on the subject of envy, human nature is so sad sometimes, you also get the reverse situation where people get themselves into hock up to their ears, expensive cars, watches, clothes, shoes etc, because they feel the need TO be envied. anyway, back to this song, WE LOVE IT !!!

Keep returning to this one! It's such a genuine song. Honest lyrics & no musical trickery. With so many backing tracks, loops & AI in today's music, it's great to hear something truly created by the artist

Hello Rodrica! How are you! A great song! You have a signature sound, You hit the marks! Your sincere lyrics remarkably still frozen in time. Unfortunately, here it is almost summer and still snowing.
