The thing I admire about Dylan is that if you've lived one of his songs it punches you right in the gut lyrically, then soothes you with the music and arrangements. This song is one of those for me. Dylan in this era was nothing short of a genius.
Sooner or later everybody should know that Dylan is actually a genius. They say that about people like Warhol , Steinbeck, Hemingway etc as good as they are you always think you could maybe able to do that ( you couldn’t) but with Dylan you don’t even know where to start.
The drum roll, paradiddle, or whatever you call it, after he sings the first line of each chorus, is perfection. It just elevates the song to a higher gear. The drummer was apparently Bobby Gregg, according to Wikipedia.
That piano part, probably one of the best rock 'n' roll piano performances of the 60s, was by Paul Griffin. He was also responsible for the exceptional piano on Steely Dan's Sign in Stranger. Griffin, like many session -players, never got the attention he deserved, but we're lucky to still have the records.
I've always loved this song. It's just about perfect in every way. Organ, Piano, Bob's vocal, the crisp drums, the melody. One of my top 6 or 7 Dylan songs.

My late, much loved older brother Michael painted the cover of this album, Blonde On Blonde in 1967!!! It hangs, proudly, at the top of my stairs......
My favorite dylan album is BLOND ON BLOND. I carried it around with me the whole summer of 1966. Saw Dylan in cleveland, ohio on november 12, 1965. Met dylan on july 17, 1991 he was walking down by lake erie by himself. He was so so nice to me.

Escuchar a Dylan, alguien que no co oce el inglés. No impide disfrutar de su música, con un piano muy hermosa, el órgano creando un sonido bello, la guitarra atractiva donde no se reconocen bien la armonía, todo una música, única y brillante y la voz de Dylan, con su fraseo, y su voz, que son otro instrumento más de la canción su timbre de voz, el fraseo de la letras y sus inflexiones vocales, le hacen un cantante único e inigualable, y las armónicas, son poderosas, llegan al corazón. Una música y cantante singularisimos en la historia de la música moderna.
I once sang this to a girl and pretended I wrote it, even changed the lyrics so she couldn't google it. 6 months later I got a text that she heard it in a clothing store in Brooklyn. I tried to argue that Dylan covered my song. Didn't work haha.
The composition of this song is just stunning. The buildup of the drums, organ, and piano into the crashing of the chorus... just perfect. Nobody writes music like this anymore. Not to mention Bob's lyrics... but the music is just amazing.

The only single they released for radio from Blonde on Blonde I think, was I Want You......which sounds great in the context of the whole sit down listen to the whole thing, but I agree this a jewel, worthy of a long gaze
@@michaelmiller2397 it's just impossible to chose 1 song from Dylan's repertoire..! I could make a list of 5 (not less) in which the ranking is also easily changing..
Paul Griffin is on the piano, Al Kooper is on the organ. All the musicians on here are good. Aside from pianist Paul Griffin and organist Al Kooper, it also features drummer Bobby Gregg, guitarist Robbie Robertson, and bassist Rick Danko. I know this from the liner notes on the "Bootleg Series # 12" and Darryl Sanders' book "Wild Mercury Sound".
@@midwestdepressed "Twelve years after its release, Dylan said: 'The closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind was on individual bands in the Blonde on Blonde album.

The first time I heard the vocal melody on the very first line of the chorus, I got hooked. There's nothing else like this. What an authentic, entertaining vocal performance.
@@snowfiresunwind I never noticed the piano work in this until my left laptop speaker broke, listened to this song for years and never noticed just how good the piano part is! It's almost like, if the vocals weren't in, it would be a famous piano piece, didn't realise just how much he is going for it in this. Sounds like he's even playing in a different key at times, fantastic.
😍 From the two first records of BOB DYLAN I bought in 1966 my two favorite song were "One of us must know" and "Rainy day woman", I had never heard such a way to mix some of the new different styles of music we could heard then and the "intro" were so stunning too🤩 !
Remember when we put a record on and just let it play , this track takes me there , this song mustve played a thousand times in my life and i hardly noticed most of the time...wow another great song
4:54 that indescribable feeling of longing, nostalgia and recognising the impermanence of life. Sooner or later Bob will leave and I will be sooo sad but he has done what he was supposed to do.
I'm not even joking and the best thing is that I allow other people to enjoy there's a lot of other people the devil heard this so I'm happy to pass it on if I can love you Bobby face love you Bobby fans
I feel like this is the part of the album where it really kicks in. After the long and amazing visions of Johanna, which is one of Dylan’s best songs but takes a while to appreciate completely, it strikes as one of the catchiest and most passionate songs in the album upon first listen. This album is the best “popular music” piece ever made by far and it works as the platonic idea of a amazing album experience even stronger than Pink Floyd’s or The Beatles’ albums by a long shot in my opinion (even though both of them are amazing to).
@@geoffoconnor3487 I don’t know if that’s true. I think s/he is likening the album to Plato’s Forms, ie, as close to pure or perfect as something could be, which I think is an interesting idea and I want to hear more on that.
Missed the magnificence of that piano line throughout the song for about 40 years. Finally it clicked about 10 years ago and haven't got it out of my head since.
Always reminds me of a girl, i knew from birth....as a friend! She was so amazing and beautiful and wonderful....'I didn't know how younggggg u were!!!!!"
I love Robert ( Bob) an I have for 54 years what a singer an poet in an around his music the genius it a legend that will never be forgotten yours sincerely Gary
Dylan's out of focus photo reflects the constant changes of images in the album I just couldn't take it in all at once a life time of listening and iam still blown away by the poetry. Roll on Bob.
I get the feeling that Bob put a LOT of effort into this song and the recording. It was going to be released as a single and he thought it would be a big hit. It was't but it should have been.
reminds me of when I was a 17/18-year-old - going to listen to the full album with nostalgia. Gave my double album to Fabian Mulenga, one of my boys In the Kitwe 'North Copper Smelter' in Zambia back in 76 as a leaving present.
Unbelievably great track…shows how fantastic all the musicians playing in a room and recording the performance can be! Paul Griffins piano performance alone is jaw dropping! A masterpiece of a song…..all around.

I've been listening to Bob Dylan for 45 years now. And I will continue to listen to him till the day I die
And I will listen to me even after I die.
Same thing. Dylan is life.
And hopefully in heaven God will let Bob keep performing for us!!

Great song - "Sooner or later one of must know" - what a great lyric
Missed the magnificence of that piano line throughout the song for about 40 years. Finally it clicked about 10 years ago and haven't got it out of my head since.
You can't say BoB Dylan doesn't have an amazing voice.
My dad does but he thinks wrong XD I still love my dad
The knock on bashful Bob in those days was that he couldn't sing; fast forward to today and it turns out we didn't know how good we had it.
So do I
Best Bob Dylan album ever!!! Sooner or Later, best song ever in my humble opinion…
Always reminds me of a girl, i knew from birth....as a friend! She was so amazing and beautiful and wonderful....'I didn't know how younggggg u were!!!!!"
I love Robert ( Bob) an I have for 54 years what a singer an poet in an around his music the genius it a legend that will never be forgotten yours sincerely Gary
Dylan's out of focus photo reflects the constant changes of images in the album I just couldn't take it in all at once a life time of listening and iam still blown away by the poetry. Roll on Bob.
Fantastic song n album.
One of his very best.
A tragi-love song. A masterpiece.
I get the feeling that Bob put a LOT of effort into this song and the recording. It was going to be released as a single and he thought it would be a big hit. It was't but it should have been.
Such a great song. Bob at his clever best. And the diction pronunciation whatever Fabulous
reminds me of when I was a 17/18-year-old - going to listen to the full album with nostalgia. Gave my double album to Fabian Mulenga, one of my boys In the Kitwe 'North Copper Smelter' in Zambia back in 76 as a leaving present.
Great Song
Is this man human?
The more I listen xx
What a joy it is to have folks like this In our world.
One word ICONIC
Genius cannot come close to explaining this song.
Unbelievably great track…shows how fantastic all the musicians playing in a room and recording the performance can be! Paul Griffins piano performance alone is jaw dropping! A masterpiece of a song…..all around.
He is a universal brother lover the greatest artist ever x
I don't know how that piano playing is even possible.
Woke up this morning with this son in my head. Thank you Robert. ....
I hope God didn't tell you to kill it
Another classic by the genius
