Lyrics:
Crimson flames tied through my ears, rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon, " said I, proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth, "rip down all hate, " I screamed
Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Girls' faces formed the forward path from phony jealousy
To memorizing politics of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists, unthought of, though somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now
A self-ordained professor's tongue too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty is just equality in school
"Equality, " I spoke the word as if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach
My existence led by confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now
#BobDylan #Folk #SingerSongwriter
And this is why he's a Nobel literary prize winner. God bless Bob Dylan
Etched in my consciousness. 🎸
This song messed with my head when I was 13. I am 57 now, got a Ph.D from a good American college and this song still messes with my head! What a delight!
One of the most prolific songs that Bob Dylan penned. And he has written so many.
Byrds showed him how it's done ✔️
@jonnymajor8425 wow. No one can deny they made it their own, But they would have lacked great material without Dylan's heart & mind. Give credit where it is due...
Is is wrong that I equate this man with the greatest minds in history. One of the geniouses of our generation. Gawd we were so lucky to live when we did.
Wow. This song hurts. The master at work. What a writer.
Yes Bob there is no way a wise man won't be humbled mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally by age and life.
Dylan will never be gone ,as I said to a street singer blowing in the wind will be played in a thousand years time
There will only be ONE DYLAN and I’m thankful I grew up with him.
I thank God for Bob Dylan.
Me too and I don't even believe in God 😎
Best song ever written.
How the hell does someone write lyrics like this? Incredible and unmatched 💎
❤
A prodigy
what shocks me the most is that he was 23 years old
So young like most of the great poets. Youth lends itself to passionate, raw emotion. Age dulls those emotions.
Even Bob Dylan said he did not know how he wrote such lines...
In these sad Times the only one Voice that cares my heart again !! I loved this artist in my whole life !!!
The Poet Laureate of the late 20th Century. His lyrics allow your mind to think freely.
A brilliant shining star.
Only Bob Dylan could offer such an elegant & gracious apology to his original folk followers, whilst simultaneously adviting them to accompany him on a more mature voyage of enlightenment, all encapsulated in an absolutely epic & irresistible piece of art. We will not see his like again.
You get it!
Some of the sweetest guitar I'm ever likely to hear in this fleeting life.
A total masterpiece written in his youth with his old soul
A Master in his youth. Genius.
menh
@@beverlykasahara8485 master of what
@@KingMinosxxvi master as in he won the fricken Nobel Prize for the fricken song... Open your ears and your mind 🤗
@@RobertDeloyd Nobel prizes are t given out for specific works but bodies of work. Some times there is a specific usually large work that seals the deal but I'm not sure how that would work with a song. His NP was BS anyway. Also F#ck Bob Dylan
He was 22, yet had the ability to realize he DIDN'T have everything figured out and owned up to it. Very few artists in their 80's have that kind of self awareness.
He said that the songs "just came to him". Like a divine inspiration and that's whx he was never able to be as good as in his 20's.
Listening to "The Times Are A-Changing atm. It's a relevation!
This is my favourite Bob Dylan album. Every song a gem! 👍👍👍 🇺🇸
Moves me to tears every time I listen. Thank you, Mr. Dylan. You touch my soul.
"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"
Those words are incredible
And so true.
To know how much that you don't know .
That is the best par of the song!
What does that mean?
When I was young, I thought I knew it all, but at my older age, I’m younger than when I was older then.
Bob Dylan's voice, in addition to his original style, has a melancholic accent and a very special sincere feeling. I have always considered him The Goat!
I don't mind what people say... for me his voice is incredible... just perfect
Agreed 💯
Personified perfection 👑
... you're not wrong ... perfect ...
I agree - magical
Yes. Though this eludes a great many people....his voice and his intense vocal delivery were his greatest single asset of all! And that's really saying something, considering how amazing his lyrics and music are.
Played this for my 68th birthday.
"Good and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now"
Long been a fan of Dylan but it still took me decades to fully comprehend Dylan's monumental critique of the Counterculture.
“…I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now…”
Happy 83rd, Bob. Thanks for all of the tunes and memories.
@@jorgejohnson451 that lyric says everything if you understand it. Sadly it requires thinking about it which to many can’t do.
As good a lesson on humility as you'll ever find.
I'm 71 and this still sends chills down my spine. Perfection.
In my eighties and it still does it for me as well .
@@ghengiscant538 Bob Dylan could really see where this country was going. I love the line about corpse evangelists, which is precisely where we're at today. The evangelists have nothing to do with religion and everything to do with grifting, that why they follow Trump and not God.
Grow up, Gramps!
🙂
I'm 71 now and hard core country. But this song is one of the exceptions. Greatness just has a way of crossing over.
snap!
One of my favorite Dylan songs of all-time.
Love you Bob Dylan. I’m 74 now. This really hits me now❤️
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
The older I become, the more these words break me
This is poetry. One of the greatest songs ever written by the greatest artist of our times.
*Samu93c, Merci infiniment for the lyrics. On the same page, too. J'adore. Bangkok-Johnnie from Thailand. Thanks, again.* ruclips.net/video/1vsMiFlNK7E/видео.html
Kissasss
Agreed...
Slightly gushing over statements but. Agreed 1 of the greatest.
Bobby is a heavy dude.......
all HAIL Dylan. the voice of a generation. much love to you Bob.
I am mesmerised by this lyrics.
The Ramones bring me here!
Bob Dylan it's always a genius!
Dylan is one of the world's miracles.
Wow. His command of the English language is unsurpassed. His talent, ageless.
Yes
Anne Hajdu he is a musical Shakespeare
The greatest to put pen to paper
@@milesjolly6173 yes. “The Bard”
“Unthought of, though, somehow.” It’s lines like this that are just brilliant.
I came across this by accident...brought tears to my eyes...way older than that now !!!
This was one of my favourite songs when I was a hotheaded 16 year old religious nut. It was beautiful and it sounded like something profound, but I couldn't understand what it meant for the life of me. It was only after I sobered up from the dogmatism of my youth that I was able to make sense of the lyrics and realize he'd been talking about me. And God, did he capture my condition well.
Perfect. As are the lines in ‘To Ramona’. Amazing.
Listening to this with my 3 year old, he’s trying to sing along. Magic.
Your boy will grow up fine.
I love this song. I love the "yelling" sound of his voice and the slight echo ❤
One of my favourites. An incredible musical legacy.
Just beautiful...
What an exquisite mind! Even the books he wrote are like reading his song lyrics.
The greatest songwriter in the history of music period! As someone who is half Swedish, I am proud he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature.
Dylan's finest poetry.
The slight changes in his vocal melody at the end of each of the choruses are infectious. Genius.
I think this is because he hasn't completely learned the song yet and he keeps changing the chord progressions during the song.
My favourite song of Bob Dylan's I have all his Albums. I'm 70 but I still love him and always will. On a gloomy note I might put this in my will for my funeral
This is one good reason he's a Nobel laureate.
Damn the way the meanings of Dylan’s song morph for me over time is amazing. True art.
The greatest lyrics ever written for a pop song.
One of the best poems by Bob. Truly an amazing poet and songwriter
The greatest lyricist of his generation.
Of all time
of all fuckin time
No-one else comes even close.
@beyondthegreatdivide six couldn't have put it better myself
Of all time, without a doubt
"It's hard being free in a song - getting it all in. Songs are so confining... You can bend the words and bend the metre, but it all still has to fit somehow?"
-Bob Dylan. New York 1966.
I don't know why this song make me cry.🥺
This is music! Bob Dylan was/is one of my father's favorites. So grew up with real music from birth.
TLDR
MERCI MR BOB DYLAN POUR LES MÉLODIES PAROLES LE PRIX NOBEL DE LITTÉRATURE VOUS L AVEZ BIEN MÉRITÉ ❤ FAMILLE DYLAN QUE DU BONHEUR LA VIE PASSE TROP VITE
"It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world, as pastors teach, but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously."
H. L. Mencken

idealism is the tool to hoard the sheep and steer the cattle
Love you Bob.
When lyrics collide with phrasing to create a masterpiece...timeless
Agreed plus his melodies. Some of Dylan's melodies are ordinary but this one and MTM are astonishing. I had a Duane Eddy LP where he did all Dylan tunes and as instrumentals , Dylan's song were utterly superb.
That is an effing masterpiece…
in my opinnion & many others.bob dylan is the greatest songwriter that ever lived.not the greatest musician or singer. but as songwriting. even john lennon & paul mccartney were awestruck by his writing talents.
I think, Lennon, McCartney, Jager, Richards, Harrison, Springsteen and everyone else knew that Dylan was the Number One Songwriter of the world - and one of the most signifikant artists in human history. I am sure that in later centuries they will look back on him as we look back on Mozart, Michelangelo, Shakespeare or Van Gogh.
Greatest singer too.😊😊
God Bless Bob!
Happy 80th Birthday to BOB DYLAN
The Greatest Singer/Songwriter/Musical Artist EVER!
"Ahhhhhh but I was so much older then/I'm younger that now!
May your hands always be busy/
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay FOREVER YOUNG!
It's interesting to me now to notice how clear his diction is. He really wanted the world to hear his poetry.
Only 500 comments. One of the best songs ever written.
PURE GENIUS.....SO MANY CODED MESSAGES....I REMEMBER GROWING UP IN THE 60'S........NEW MUSIC EVERY DAY......WOW...LIVE ON BOB.....!!!!!!!
Many artists have performed and recorded this song because it is such a great song, but no version comes close to capturing the beauty and power of the original. A true masterpiece.
I cover it also
menh
Nah this version sucks
I disagree. The Byrd’s version is much better.
I totally agree. His voice is just so great in it...
He sings this one so beautifully
This song melts my heart. So many thanks, Bob. ❤❤
This song contains the greatest line ever written into a song. You know the one I mean.
" Good and bad I defined these terms, quite clear no doubt somehow..."
A "self ordained" professor, spouting out that" LIBERTY, is just equality in school". Another line of his that's more meaningful now than ever.
Absolutely, I find myself wanting to share this line with everyone I talk to these days - it's the simple truth
Yes, but the grand word is EQUALITY. The word of the woke. People are not equal. Equality of opportunity is just. But equality of ability is naivete.
LONG LIVE BOB DYLAN ARTS AND MUSIC...
The Words are AMAZING!
“Ideas as my maps.” Good man. Thank you Mr. Dylan.Thank you for the cover.
No doubt the best song writer ever!! Yess i said it !!
What a dude! We'll miss him when he's gone.
Beautiful poetry. The meaning is always both in the lines and between the lines
One of the best ever written.
Pure genius.
I posted this for my ex, who I'm still close with, who was so sad about turning 40. She was so happy. This song changed her view. She embraced she wasn't old at all. I was happy to help.
The older I get, the more I understand this song. I'm 69 now, wonder how I'll think it about it in ten years?
From one old person to another, good luck with that.
@@jpeluso50 ;)
You'll be younger then.
Nice.
Considering that this is a 24 year old young man we're hearing, that's a lot of mature introspection there. I wonder what the current Dylan thinks of THAT Dylan.
This man has spoke more truths in his life than any politicians ever will.
It makes me emotional 😥
Kimberly, right on. I'm still looking for the first politician to utter a single truth...or even move their lips without lying
This song/poem is a good example of Dylan’s work culminating in his receiving the Nobel Prize In Literature. The only song-writer to receive that honor.
Romantism - individualism, creativity
This song in it's original recording as posted makes me cry every time I listen to it. One of the most poetic song of Dylan's . I love everything about Bob.
Marry me.
Long time...ago...so now I know..why I'm a fan...happy birthday..xo
How deep can one young man be❤
these words are endlessly illuminating
The biggest blessing to have is a free mind
One of the most profound songs ever written.
Super vision
I really like the words and the somber tone or rythem that goes w the lyric, so serious. So great.
He is having a duel. They say that in Wild West there was never a duel performed in a way as acted in movies. But this is a duel. More like European stile.
what can I say? the voice of a generation
a hymn to a world without ideologies will ring true. this song will allow one to see through the vanity of a young college student even if you are a young college student. old students too, come to think of it. Dylan's best early solo song, imho
It’s easy to see why Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for literature.
Dylan uses language like mouldable clay.. Knowing exact expressions for every thought/feeling! These lyrics are hard to understand, trying to grasp the essence but it does give the right feel❣️👌 Thanks DearDylan for this lovely song❤️🌹🌞🌹❤️
Bob may not be one of the greatest singers or guitar players...but he is the greatest poet-songwriter of all time. No one comes close. No one.
He is vocally musically correct opinion got nothing to do with it😎
@@Nonesovile96 yes
I actually like his voice. I guess it's pretty damaged now though.
I think he has an amazing voice, so distinctive.
Yes,his true genius was as a songwriter.
I heard Dylan say in an interview in the 80s, when asked about him producing his latest album, say that he likes to keep things simple and I thought "really". He was referring to his music not his lyrics of course. Simple chords, simple strumming patterns on most of his songs just seems to stand out more than a whole band.
His songs make me nostalgic for memories I don’t have.
... such a profound and inspiring statement Chris ... I think I know what you are suggesting ... but Dylan evokes so much and I cannot be certain as to your meaning ...best to you
the beautiful text and voice of dylan
An absolute masterpiece
😘
This was Art then and it's still art now most people today need their art spoon-fed
the older i get the more i am impressed with his early recordings. how could a boy as young as Dylan was, write all that stuff with so much insight? and his guitar playing is perfect while not. there's something VERY special going on. he's got to be an old soul. not his first rodeo i suspect.
He is unique and a genius, but I also feel the younger generation of his time had so much more about them than present generations. There was certainly more inspiration and creativity. I'm a Boomer and found Dylan in 1976!! It changed my life.
