Back in 1969, I went to Vietnam as a common 11B Infantryman. Our nation was divided at the time, and when I got out into the field, everyone wanted to know what was new. I told them than Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan just had a fantastic duet called "Girl From The North Country". Nobody believed me.
An old country house with handcrafted details, a warm fire in a pot belly stove, people calmly roaming about, poets and writers, deep in thought, the sounds of a young Bob Dylan filling the room, with lyrics that relax, reflect and inspire. It just could not get any better than that 🧡
I hope you can enjoy this and many more songs on your journey. I have no valid response to your comment because I've no similar experience to go by. Take care.
Everytime I hear this song it immediately takes me back 50yrs...sitting outside the tent by the campfire in Donegal/Ireland, with my brother playing this on guitar. Those amazing teenage age years...before life's worries & woes ever entered our heads. !!! Thanks Bob.!!
Catherine S. Todd }}} Thank you Catherine for those kind words.;-) Those rattling on in years & a thousand or more miles apart, he in Nürnberg & myself back home in Ireland, we still get together annually & still have those great little sessions on guitars & singing Dylan songs around a fire. Tho too old now to brave the tent experience, we had planned another holiday in my VW Camper van travelling from N.Donegal down the "Wild Atlantic Coast Road" all the way to S.Cork. Alas, this had to be cancelled as this dreaded Global Pandemic leaves us both Locked Down in our respective countries this year. But we remain positive & look forward to doing it next Summer while avoiding the Cabin Fever by sharpening our, now aging, guitar skills by playing along to the great Dylan. Take Care, Keep Safe, & Stay Indoors when you can.;-)
Can't remember I broke upon hearing this song on the road to war in 1970 upon army transports. The girl whom I loved suddenly stopped writing me during basic and AIT. Somehow I managed to make past all those dark moments and survive, physically at least. There will never be another bob Dylan in my life, nor will there be another girl like that.
That’s how beautiful it is, when it first happens, first love first car ride the first you ever get high, but love your first love it’s worth it it’s worth all the excruciating pain and personally I will never have it another way, if I had a second heart she can broke it once again
This is my favorite Dylan song. It helped me sleep on bad nights. Brought me back to places like Bellingham. Hills, the cold, fog, solitude, youth and yearning.
Just doesn’t get any more heart wrenchingly poignant than this. I was utterly captivated from the first time I ever heard his voice in 1965. Thank you Bob Dylan. 💘
the sincerity in his body language and mimics flow so well together with this beautiful song glad u're still alive Bob, thanks for all the beautiful music
My favorite Dylan song. When I was stationed in Great Falls, MT, in the 70’s, I often listened to it in the depth of the winter when the howling winds blew.... The nostalgic setting is perfect in enhancing the mood.
I've heard how great Bob Dylan was my whole life. Blah blah blah. I was into classical and prog and avant-garde jazz. What could this bellowing folkie from Minnesota possibly teach a musically sophisticated intellect such as myself? I turned forty-five and somebody loaned me FREEWHEELIN'. With skepticism I put on this song. I broke down into tears without understanding why. How does he know all this stuff, I asked? Now I'm 57. Life lesson : don't shut anybody out or you'll miss something wonderful.
Why does where a person comes from predetermine if they are talented or not though? Talent comes from all over the world and travels to L.A. and New York City. Doesn't mean they are neccasarily from those places.
Check out Nick Drake’s album _Pink Moon_ if you wanna get into some more folk. And of course more Bob Dylan, though I’m sure you’ve probably already done that haha
It's a great song. The lyrics are partly inspired by the ancient English folk song Scarborough Fair that Simon and Garfunkel laughingly claimed to have written even though it's at least 300 years old.
I love the version he did with Johnny Cash, but this is stunningly beautiful. I could sit in that cabin on a rug by the fire and stay up all night listening to him play and sing.
The version they did on the Johnny Cash TV show was the best; RUclips "Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash - Girl From The North Country" ...they screwed up the harmony on Nashville Skyline.
The song is even historically important, memorializing a type of male experience once widely shared across social classes and remembered among those who served on survey, railroad, herding, harvesting and logging crews, in ships' companies, on army posts and in colonial settlements. The Canadian video captures it better than an American one would be likely to, probably because this remote, isolated bachelor life was more common there more recently.
It's not historically important just because it's in black and white film. This song memorializes a HUMAN experience, one that is universal across any time, culture, race, gender, or creed. It's a timeless masterpiece.
Excellent commentary. Thank you. Having lived half my life in Canada, in both rural and metropolitan areas, this video truly is a Canadian gem. I know a bit about that kind of male experience as I lived in a small town in Quebec, where that kind of life was still common. Just found this commentary so I'm late to the party, but at least I've arrived.
I lost the greatest love I ever had, she from the north country. I lived there for a very short time until she decided she didn't want anything to do with me anymore. Now I'm back home, been a month now, hurting more than ever..
If you're travelin' in the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine if you go when the snowflakes storm When the rivers freeze and summer ends Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm To keep her from the howlin' winds Please see for me if her hair hangs long If it rolls and flows all down her breast Please see for me if her hair hangs long That's the way I remember her best I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all Many times I've often prayed In the darkness of my night In the brightness of my day So if you're travelin' in the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine
Tony England It wasn't stolen it was barrowed in fact there once was a collaboration between them but I have yet heard a recording...regardless this is Poetic justice to any familiar song!
Earlier this month the Vietnamese girl I dated for almost five months left me. This came on my iPod for probably the first time ever. When Bob mentioned the coat, I almost cried, because she was always so damn cold here in Chicago. Didn't have a coat that would zip up, and apparently chose style over warmth. She'd refuse borrowing the extra layers I kept in my car. Goodbye Minh.
Or it could be about Bonnie Beecher. A woman from minnesota who knew Dylan in his early career, she went with him to visit Woody Guthrie in the hospital. You can find interviews with her where she talks about it
A great version and video of this beautiful song. No one writes lyrics like this anymore. We used to sing this and other Dylan songs at Santa Monica Beach. And the crowds would gather!
This song got to me way back and still does. I found Bob Dylan in ’64 during a year in Labrador. No one back in UK had heard of him then. The winter was cold, the river froze and the snow was deep and I left behind a Canadian girl in that North Country.
This song is one of my favorites. The first time I heard it was from Bob Dylan of course, but the second time, was in Prince's street in Cork, Ireland, a band that started out as Buskers on the street. Hank Wedel, ( originally from the US,) and the band(Irish) were, and still are a brilliant group of musican's. This is one brilliant memory I have from Cork in the 1980's-1990's. Check them out - always playing in Charlie's bar!! A last bastion of music and characters! Thank you for the music. Love and God bless to all here! xx Essie, from Ireland! xx
"I wonder if she remembers me at all, many times I've often prayed." Oh, believe me Mr. Dylan. Echo Hellstrom remembered you until her death a few years ago.
This is the best version I’ve heard so far then the album version . Many other spin offs that are nice but nothing like the original!!! I’m in my early 50’s and knew of some of Dylan’s work since my childhood but I never really got into his music until I became more seasoned in life !!! Don’t get me wrong , I like all kinds of music and been listening to classical music since my teens but never explored more of Dylan than what was played on the radio . This is a beautiful song one can never tire of !!! An American classic ….
I love this video it's so moving and inspiring I really the filming is so well done as well as the quality of sound, beautiful rendition by Bob. Thank you, Bob, for being in our lives we love you and always will. We will always celebrate you and remember you.
Just perfection. I mean this isn't even for me his best song. Too many stone wall classics to that guys name. Better than anything the Beatles ever did for me
Bobby is THE BEST!!! "I’m a-wonderin’ if she remembers me at all ~ Many times I’ve often prayed ~ In the darkness of my night ~ In the brightness of my day".
Have been a fan of Dylan's since 1965. Am now 73-still a fan, and always will be. He is untouchable--the best. Saw him at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in 1965. He gave a concert and went electric for the second time, the first being the Newport Folk Festival in 1964.
Brilliant Bob! I wonder how he knew all these truths at this early age!!!! I'm traveling in North country now and winds are really heavy! 🌎🌨️📈 Salute, maestro! You are a true genius! 💘
This video was performed for television by CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, in February 1964. Bob Dylan was 22 years old. This is a beautiful love song written by someone so young. These kinds of songs at that age marked him as the true genius he was, he was also a true sensitive. He went on to change the world of rock and roll forever.
If you're travelin' in the North Country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to one who lives there For she once was a true love of mine If you go when the snowflakes storm When the rivers freeze and the summer ends Please see for me, she has a coat so warm To keep her from the howlin' winds Please see for me if her hair hangs long If it rolls and flows all down her breast Please see for me if her hair's hanging long For that's the way I remember her best I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all Many times I've often prayed In the darkness of my night In the brightness of my day If you're travelin' the North Country fair Where other winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to one who lives there For she once was a true love of mine
This gets a lot of attention from men. It encapsulates a lot of what a man's life can be. Isolated, wistful of a joyful short memory of a woman, but lost to time. Many men are invisible to those who dispense kindness and love, but the men soldier on, occasionally looking back at the possibility of love, but recognizing that that one time might be the only time in their life when it is possible. So, they move on, bury themselves in work, in sacrifice, and make themselves comfortable with the deeds they do, without fanfare., and cope with loneliness as best they can. After many years, they get set in their ways, and it's hard to get sentiment out of them. Bob goes right to the heart of that existence.
"Remember me to one who lives there - she once was a true love of mine." These words ALSO appear in Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel. From Wikipedia: " The lyrics of "Scarborough Fair" appear to have something in common with an obscure Scottish ballad, The Elfin Knight (Child Ballad #2),"
Everybody, for hundreds of years back, has borrowed from the Child Ballads. That's what folk music is: borrowings from the original ballads. Music is universal. Always has been.
.... and thank you CBC for staging such as beautiful and evocative film. More here: "Dylan records a half-hour program as part of the CBC-TV series “Quest.” The half a dozen songs he sings-“Talkin’ World War III Blues,” “Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,” “Girl from the North Country,” “The Times They Are a-Chang in’,” “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,” and “Restless Farewell”-are all performed within the most incongruous of settings, a log cabin filled with working men pretending to pay attention." alldylan.com/bob-dylan-cbc-tv-studios-toronto-ontario-canada-1-february-1964-video/
@@michaelmaddox No, this was originally Q for Quest which was then shortened to Quest. I had to look it up but Rainbow Quest was an American series. Quest was CBC. Cheers db
This is one of my favorite Dylan songs from "Nashville Skyline." Often, I would play it in Montana during the winter when the snow flakes fell near the Canadian border line. Somehow, it touched (as it still does) something deep in me. Thank you Bob!
This version is absolute perfection.
It is... the video fits the music very well
Back in 1969, I went to Vietnam as a common 11B Infantryman. Our nation was divided at the time, and when I got out into the field, everyone wanted to know what was new. I told them than Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan just had a fantastic duet called "Girl From The North Country". Nobody believed me.
This is the Original! Can’t get any better than this!
Larry Linn thank you for your service.
I like Mendeleyevs version better
An old country house with handcrafted details, a warm fire in a pot belly stove, people calmly roaming about, poets and writers, deep in thought, the sounds of a young Bob Dylan filling the room, with lyrics that relax, reflect and inspire. It just could not get any better than that 🧡
Yes, it doesn't get any better than that.
It was on a stage though
What a cool fantasy they made here. I’ve come back to this video for about the last decade when I need something I can’t put my finger on
Dealing with the after effects of advanced cancer and now a brain tumor. This song gives me hope. Life goes on..
You can do it!!! You will be fine :)
Big hug
love n best wishes from Berlin ... send YOU Leo, Julia n j.
Hope you are still with us and strong. I am close to the same edge of losing life as you. Peace be with you.
I hope you can enjoy this and many more songs on your journey. I have no valid response to your comment because I've no similar experience to go by. Take care.
I'd be happy to live in this video until eternity.
Same here, dude...
Best comment ever.
Liz Schultz m
punktard Amen brother...probably the best comment I've ever seen on RUclips.
I'd rather be with that girl from the North country, singin' about the guys who lost her!
Everytime I hear this song it immediately takes me back 50yrs...sitting outside the tent by the campfire in Donegal/Ireland, with my brother playing this on guitar.
Those amazing teenage age years...before life's worries & woes ever entered our heads. !!! Thanks Bob.!!
GWYTHAL. DOIRE. ☘️
Beautiful. Slainte!

Perfectly put, Gwythal. Tears of joy to mine eyes.

Daniel Shephard Glad you made it back, Daniel Shephard; welcome home.
Daniel Shephard - Thank you for your service!
Bitches ain't shit, man 🥺😭
This is my favorite Dylan song. It helped me sleep on bad nights. Brought me back to places like Bellingham. Hills, the cold, fog, solitude, youth and yearning.
"In the darkness of my nights, in the brightness of my days"
John Melville Many times I've often prayed
The best song verse ever
classic line, this is why I listen to Dylan, to catch a line
😭
This music captures a time and space that will never happen again. It’s so special because people don’t write music like this anymore.
Margot MacEwen you get a Dylan once every 100 years. Be positive, the universe hasn’t just decided to stop creating musical genius.
Check out Arthur gunn
There is a song like this for everyone, and it's a good thing this isn't that song for everyone. That's what makes it special to you.
You might like Jesse Welles, his song writing skills remind me of Dylan
Just doesn’t get any more heart wrenchingly poignant than this. I was utterly captivated from the first time I ever heard his voice in 1965. Thank you Bob Dylan. 💘
the sincerity in his body language and mimics flow so well together with this beautiful song
glad u're still alive Bob, thanks for all the beautiful music
The lyrics are so simple, beautiful, and poetic. My favorite Dylan song.
They are, but the refrain is from Scarborough Fair, an old English folk ballad dating back to the 17th century.
My favorite Dylan song. When I was stationed in Great Falls, MT, in the 70’s, I often listened to it in the depth of the winter when the howling winds blew.... The nostalgic setting is perfect in enhancing the mood.

It's baffling to know that Dylan was barely 21 years old when he wrote this ! I'm glad you were able to experience that!
Why does where a person comes from predetermine if they are talented or not though? Talent comes from all over the world and travels to L.A. and New York City. Doesn't mean they are neccasarily from those places.
Check out Nick Drake’s album _Pink Moon_ if you wanna get into some more folk. And of course more Bob Dylan, though I’m sure you’ve probably already done that haha
Beautiful man just beautiful
It's a great song. The lyrics are partly inspired by the ancient English folk song Scarborough Fair that Simon and Garfunkel laughingly claimed to have written even though it's at least 300 years old.
This song is the soundtrack to every quiet moment in my life. Beyond beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I love the version he did with Johnny Cash, but this is stunningly beautiful. I could sit in that cabin on a rug by the fire and stay up all night listening to him play and sing.
same here
thanks for the tip! i'll listen to it after i watch this enough times, a great old movie! thanks uploader, great to watch this.
The version they did on the Johnny Cash TV show was the best; RUclips "Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash - Girl From The North Country" ...they screwed up the harmony on Nashville Skyline.
Liz Schultz the lions version is way better
Yes. what a treat. Young Bob. Vocals, guitar and harmonica! Great.
"Please see for me, she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds" ... when you really love somebody.
My favourite line in song
The song is even historically important, memorializing a type of male experience once widely shared across social classes and remembered among those who served on survey, railroad, herding, harvesting and logging crews, in ships' companies, on army posts and in colonial settlements. The Canadian video captures it better than an American one would be likely to, probably because this remote, isolated bachelor life was more common there more recently.
Interesting way of looking at it. Well said.
It's not historically important just because it's in black and white film. This song memorializes a HUMAN experience, one that is universal across any time, culture, race, gender, or creed. It's a timeless masterpiece.
Excellent commentary. Thank you. Having lived half my life in Canada, in both rural and metropolitan areas, this video truly is a Canadian gem. I know a bit about that kind of male experience as I lived in a small town in Quebec, where that kind of life was still common.
Just found this commentary so I'm late to the party, but at least I've arrived.
Yes. Another song that conjures up those images and captures that mood and time is Gentle On My Mind.
I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day
You always think of someone special when something good or bad has happened and you wish you could tell them
This song is hauntingly beautiful
Perfection.
this song is absolutely timeless and sounds hundreds, thousands of years old
Perfect atmosphere for this incredible tune. I doubt anyone else in that cabin knew what lay ahead for this young gent!
His voice like a distant echo over a tune of fine rhythm, gentle and harsh at the same time, you can't beat this stuff!
Minnesota's own! One of the few people that can be called a living legend.
never knew a sound and an image could fold their arms around you like a lover's embrace, until now.
Thank you forever for this gift.
how nostalgic can a song be
Nostalgia is my favorite word
IDK. The Lions version of this gives me the worst nostalgia ever. It’s good, but bad. Great song by the way.
Pocha hontas My favorite film is “Nostalgia” by Andrei Tarkovsky!
This song got me through one of the worst break up's I've ever had in my life. Tears to my eyes every damn time.
I lost the greatest love I ever had, she from the north country. I lived there for a very short time until she decided she didn't want anything to do with me anymore. Now I'm back home, been a month now, hurting more than ever..
Life goes on, the world changes, and soon everything will be okay again. How are you doing?
Boots of Spanish Leather is a good one for you then
Don't think twice it's alright
Bitches ain’t shit but hoes and tricks
This is my favorite version.
CuredbyMusic I Agree
I like the one with johnny cash better
yea sir
it's brilliant aswell. Love j cash and so does my dad found him from my pap.
Look up Arthur Gunn Girl from North Country!!! Its a Fantastic Rendition of this Song with all the Soul and Emotion you could ask for.
I'm wonderin' if she remembers me at all....
so sad
People remember feelings, attached person..
She surely does.
Rather that not wish upon her
where the wind gets heavy on the borderline. Says it all.
.. for that's the way I remember her best.
If you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
if you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds
Please see for me if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me if her hair hangs long
That's the way I remember her best
I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day
So if you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
FreedomBreeze24
thank you for wtiting that. tears fill my eyes tonight (melancholy and nostalgia) i couldn't think of better music than this
Let's just move to the north country fair on an old train going nowhere
FreedomBreeze24
simple yet Beautiful poetry indeed...Sadie♡
It's shameless theft from the traditional English song "Scarborough Fair". Paul Simon and Bob Dylan both stole it.
Tony England
It wasn't stolen it was barrowed in fact there once was a collaboration between them but I have yet heard a recording...regardless this is Poetic justice to any familiar song!
RIP Echo...in matters of the heart, the first cut IS always the deepest.
Can't thank you enough for sharing this great video of Bob Dylan.WELL DONE!
so young , so beautifull
Probably one of the best music videos... So simple but touches you so deeply.
Pure art, perfect, simple and wonderful.
Bob , I hope you will remember me also because I fell in love with you when I was 15 and still I am 60 years later , stay safe honey
I meant 50 years later lol
very easy fell in love with Dylan :)
Katia Santos qaaq
I simply can't imagine a world without Bob Dylan.
Your comment is truely amazing i feel a lot what you said
Earlier this month the Vietnamese girl I dated for almost five months left me. This came on my iPod for probably the first time ever. When Bob mentioned the coat, I almost cried, because she was always so damn cold here in Chicago. Didn't have a coat that would zip up, and apparently chose style over warmth. She'd refuse borrowing the extra layers I kept in my car.
Goodbye Minh.
This song is written about his first love, Echo Helstrom. Last update I read, she still lives up north (Minneapolis)
Louie Mann But in No Direction Home, he talks about Echo and jokes that they “brought out the poet in him”..he was joking..how do you know?
@@ChrisSMurphy1 he's wiser than to just spell something out like that. Who was named Echo in the early 60s?! Lol
Suze Rotolo is the girl.
Or it could be about Bonnie Beecher. A woman from minnesota who knew Dylan in his early career, she went with him to visit Woody Guthrie in the hospital. You can find interviews with her where she talks about it
Anna Birta seems correct per an interview with Wavy Gravy (Bonnie’s later spouse) who shared a room with Bob in Greenwich Village in the early days.
A great version and video of this beautiful song. No one writes lyrics like this anymore. We used to sing this and other Dylan songs at Santa Monica Beach. And the crowds would gather!
The refrain is from the English folk ballad Scarborough Fair which dates back to the 17th century.
This is the greatest video on RUclips
This song got to me way back and still does.
I found Bob Dylan in ’64 during a year in Labrador. No one back in UK had heard of him then. The winter was cold, the river froze and the snow was deep and I left behind a Canadian girl in that North Country.
I love the song so much.
Guohao Dylan me to.
One of my favorites from Bob Dylan....
This song is one of my favorites. The first time I heard it was from Bob Dylan of course, but the second time, was in Prince's street in Cork, Ireland, a band that started out as Buskers on the street. Hank Wedel, ( originally from the US,) and the band(Irish) were, and still are a brilliant group of musican's. This is one brilliant memory I have from Cork in the 1980's-1990's. Check them out - always playing in Charlie's bar!! A last bastion of music and characters! Thank you for the music. Love and God bless to all here! xx Essie, from Ireland! xx
Great performance of a classic. Such a wonderful recovery of a performance that might otherwise might have been lost.
The guitar in this version is seriously hypnotizing
it's how he puts it all in a song life love loss every human emotion
I repress everything and dissociate myself from everything. No song has ever made me feel like how I feel when I hear it.
This is the coolest music performance on RUclips
This will never happen again, the word is magic. I wanna thank you Bob for everything
"I wonder if she remembers me at all, many times I've often prayed."
Oh, believe me Mr. Dylan. Echo Hellstrom remembered you until her death a few years ago.
First time I've seen this. Thank you for uploading this :)
This is the best version I’ve heard so far then the album version . Many other spin offs that are nice but nothing like the original!!!
I’m in my early 50’s and knew of some of Dylan’s work since my childhood but I never really got into his music until I became more seasoned in life !!! Don’t get me wrong , I like all kinds of music and been listening to classical music since my teens but never explored more of Dylan than what was played on the radio .
This is a beautiful song one can never tire of !!!
An American classic ….
Hey! That guy at :07 who gets up and walks outside. He was "Manxman" in the 1956 version of Moby Dick. I get a spotted him point.
Who could not love this? So honest, pure and sweet.
I love this video it's so moving and inspiring I really the filming is so well done as well as the quality of sound, beautiful rendition by Bob. Thank you, Bob, for being in our lives we love you and always will. We will always celebrate you and remember you.
Just perfection. I mean this isn't even for me his best song. Too many stone wall classics to that guys name. Better than anything the Beatles ever did for me
There's music for every mood or occasion.....Bob or Beatles....they're both brilliant.......
Heart of the country or mull of Kintyre feel just as nostalgic to me, and that's not even The Beatles
Why make it a contest? Both are good.
I never got excited about the Beatles. Dylan's music is full of lyrics that ring hard with truth and wisdom. No one compares.
Bobby is THE BEST!!! "I’m a-wonderin’ if she remembers me at all
~ Many times I’ve often prayed ~ In the darkness of my night ~
In the brightness of my day".
Have been a fan of Dylan's since 1965. Am now 73-still a fan, and always will be. He is untouchable--the best. Saw him at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in 1965. He gave a concert and went electric for the second time, the first being the Newport Folk Festival in 1964.
I think I saw you there. I didn't boo him, and now I can't claim that honor.
such a true masterpiece of a song
Glad how social media introduces us to great songs like these.
Yup I'm here from American Idol too.
Bob always the man to turn to in troubled times, what soul!
Bob’s been with me through many many dark years of my life.. forever bob thanks
Same here.
Brilliant Bob! I wonder how he knew all these truths at this early age!!!! I'm traveling in North country now and winds are really heavy! 🌎🌨️📈 Salute, maestro! You are a true genius! 💘
Just saw him play this 10-14-19 at the Frost Amphitheater in Stanford, CA. He played it beautifully and perfectly.
I think this might be the sweetest song I've ever heard.
I love Bob Dylan, and I am JUST now discovering this. ...Glorious...
Don't know why, but this made me tear up a little.... i guess that that's what music does... please, never die Mr. Dylan
ive heard this a million times and it still has the same effect and the once broken hearted.
When somebody comes up with something this profound and beautiful these days, get back to me. I'll wait...😂🙄
This video was performed for television by CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, in February 1964. Bob Dylan was 22 years old. This is a beautiful love song written by someone so young. These kinds of songs at that age marked him as the true genius he was, he was also a true sensitive. He went on to change the world of rock and roll forever.
I'm here because of Arthur Gunn.. Saw him in American Idol singing this song, Great song.

Me too:)
same here lol
Same here
Marj Soldevilla I am here too.
Thank you for the fantastic upload! May it remain on YT for all to enjoy.

I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU NOW I HAVE SIESTA AFTER LUNCH
If you're travelin' in the North Country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine
If you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and the summer ends
Please see for me, she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds
Please see for me if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me if her hair's hanging long
For that's the way I remember her best
I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day
If you're travelin' the North Country fair
Where other winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine
Feel like crying every time I hear this song. It has been like that for more than fifty years.

Best Dylan song
This gets a lot of attention from men. It encapsulates a lot of what a man's life can be. Isolated, wistful of a joyful short memory of a woman, but lost to time. Many men are invisible to those who dispense kindness and love, but the men soldier on, occasionally looking back at the possibility of love, but recognizing that that one time might be the only time in their life when it is possible. So, they move on, bury themselves in work, in sacrifice, and make themselves comfortable with the deeds they do, without fanfare., and cope with loneliness as best they can. After many years, they get set in their ways, and it's hard to get sentiment out of them. Bob goes right to the heart of that existence.
"Remember me to one who lives there - she once was a true love of mine." These words ALSO appear in Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel. From Wikipedia: " The lyrics of "Scarborough Fair" appear to have something in common with an obscure Scottish ballad, The Elfin Knight (Child Ballad #2),"
Everybody, for hundreds of years back, has borrowed from the Child Ballads. That's what folk music is: borrowings from the original ballads. Music is universal. Always has been.
Both Dylan and Simon picked it up from Martin Carthy when they came over in the '62/'63.
Scarborough fair is an old English folk song,Martin Carthy sung this and Lady Franklin’s lament which Bob Dylan heard in London 1962!
To me this is Bob's best performance of my favorite song of his.
This version is better than both the original as well as the Johnny Cash/Dylan cover, in my opinion.
Dane Bachman Yes...the absolute best version!!
I agree
This is my favorite version by far.
Do we know what year this was recorded in? Or does anyone have an idea?
february of ‘64 i believe
@@carpenters1482 that’s right
@Gear head A1 too bad time isn't real my friend. I would love to be there too.

Thank you Mendelev of The Voice USA.
I Love this Song! and I Love You Bob..💕 My Favorite Poetic Genius ..... Wonderful video Thank You for Posting this Timeless Recording
.... and thank you CBC for staging such as beautiful and evocative film.
More here:
"Dylan records a half-hour program as part of the CBC-TV series “Quest.” The half a dozen songs he sings-“Talkin’ World War III Blues,” “Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,” “Girl from the North Country,” “The Times They Are a-Chang in’,” “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,” and “Restless Farewell”-are all performed within the most incongruous of settings, a log cabin filled with working men pretending to pay attention."

David Bailey was that Pete Seegers show? I thought it was called Rajnbow Quest? Thanks for posting!
@@michaelmaddox No, this was originally Q for Quest which was then shortened to Quest.
I had to look it up but Rainbow Quest was an American series. Quest was CBC.
Cheers

It’s an awesome music video, a solemn song and a solemn audience.
have cry and have cigar
I'm really impressed. Fingerpicking, singing and playing the harp.
Don't forget his foot tapping out the rhythm too......
This is one of my favorite Dylan songs from "Nashville Skyline." Often, I would play it in Montana during the winter when the snow flakes fell near the Canadian border line. Somehow, it touched (as it still does) something deep in me. Thank you Bob!
I can't get this song out of my mind. Best performance by Bob dylan
