She Is A Diamond
Madonna · Evita [1996]
(peron:)
But on the other hand, she's all they have
She's a diamond in their dull gray lives
And that's the hardest kind of stone
It usually survives
And when you think about it, can you recall
The last time they loved anyone at all?
She's not a bauble you can brush aside
She's been out doing what we just talked about, example
Gave us back our businesses, got the english out
And when you think about it, well why not do
One or two of the things we promised to?
But on the other hand, she's slowing down
She's lost a little of that magic drive
But I would not advise those critics present to derive
Any satisfaction from her fading star
She's the one who's kept us where we are

She's the one who's kept you where you are

The last time they loved anyone at all?

But on the other hand, she's slowing down
She's lost a little of that magic drive

She Is A Diamond
Madonna's "She Is A Diamond" serves as the closing track on her 1996 film score for Evita, marking a significant departure from her pop norms into orchestral and operatic territory. Recorded alongside "Frozen" and "Who's That Girl," the piece utilizes a grand, dramatic arrangement that underscores the film's historical epic scope. As part of the broader Evita soundtrack, the song reflects the artist's versatility during this era, blending her signature vocal power with classical instrumentation to create a cinematic atmosphere. The recording stands as a testament to her willingness to explore diverse genres, including opera and rock, while contributing to the cultural legacy of the biographical film.
