Biography:
Diamond Rings is the musical alter-ego of Toronto-based multiplatform artist John O (John O'Regan), first conceived in the summer of 2009. A 7" and home-made video for his first bedroom-recorded single "All Yr Songs" helped to propel Diamond Rings into the spotlight, first garnering attention from Canadian blogs like Chromewaves, and then eventually a "Best New Music" honors from Pitchfork. The 7" was issued as split with fellow Ontario musicians PS I Love You on O'Regan's own boutique label, Hype Lighter.

[Verse 1]
G Em
Hard times never ever have been easy

Make time 'cause I want you in my life

Waiting upon a forest
C Bm
To rise up from the ground
C Bm
Learning what came before us

Digging right down, down, down

Our heads are feeling lighter

Our legs weak at the knees

So come on, hold me tighter

Let's shine brighter
D
Let's be you & me

Living, dying, loving, crying, trying, sighing, flying, soaring
