He wrote, sang and played so many truly great songs. Thank you for posting this one.

I emailed Tony Visconti who produced Unicorn, asking him what "diamonds" meant, a couple years ago. He wrote an email back saying it was a secret. . Just like that. Hmm maybe it is just one of those things people say, and there is no explanation. Maybe diamonds is like a mystical temple on a spiritual plane, at least I like to think it is something esoteric like that.

"Here there be trolls" is a note on the map in the J R R Tolkien books.

Nice job of extracting and reversing what sounds like him just sighing, in the song. How about doing that with The Seal of Seasons, where backwards he says, "I have a reason, its name is diamonds. Hare Krishna has more to offer."

I found an old Vinyl copy of My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows in an antique store.
Too bad I don't have a record player.

Marc's guitar playing had such a distinctive sound and style, very underrated guitar player.
Oft overlooked for his whimsical, yet progressive contribution to the history of Rock,Marc Bolan's catchy chords and one-of-a-kind voice were and still are a cosmic entity unto themselves, of which we might never see their like again. May his records groove in our collective consciousness always!
