"Some Days Are Diamonds (Some Days Are Stone)" is a song written by Dick Feller, and quite different from the humorous and novelty songs he's best known for writing. Feller was the first artist to record the song, in 1976, but his version failed to chart. The song was covered by John Denver on his 1981 album Some Days Are Diamonds. Released in May 1981 as the album's first single, Denver's version peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100.^[1] It also reached number one on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada.^[2]
