"In fourteen months, I've only smiled once and I didn't do it consciously. " That's either the funniest or the saddest line in this song... only Bob...
@@謝育霖-f8f Heyho, I’m not sure if you will read this but I’m going to post this reply & hope you do. If you press where it says ‘more’ then press ‘more’ again & scroll down, the lyrics should come up.
I went to the DMV today to get my license renewed and when getting my picture taken the girl said you can smile if you want. The first thing that came to mind was “ In fourteen months I only smiled once and you know the rest.
This is probably my favorite Dylan song from time to time. I think he left it off the album because it was just too personal. Our man Bob wrote that whole album in open d, most of the songs sound like this. Still a heart tearing look at love.
Bob Dylan's " Blood on The Tracks " sessions were perhaps the second greatest burst of creative expression of any American artist of any time. The FIRST greatest burst of creative expression of any American artist was the two year period from 1964 through 66 when Bob Dylan released four of the greatest albums of all time.
Yes, indeed! I just heard this for the first time today! Great to find songs that beforehand you hadn't "needed." Everything else I'd heard from Dylan was soul comfort and healing and jubilation. God knew I was ready for this today.
The MAN IN THE IRON MASK is a legend from history . Some king had a prisoner locked in a dungeon , who was kept masked . Only the king knew who he was , or why he was kept there .
Absolutely, My Brother... I've been with Bob since the beginning... I'm a singer/songwriter and I still do, "Baby Let Me Follow You Down." I *Love* sitting behind the mic and introducing my next offering: "And Now, from Bob Dylan's *First* album..." Be Well, My Friend... Gyps🎶
What I love about this channel is that it lists BD's future tour itinerary/performances. He is still going strong at 81. How would I have gotten through the pandemic without him? In our darkest hour, Rough and Rowdy Ways descended on the world and lit it up again.
@@astral2151 I’d love to have seen both on the album… I guess he scrapped this because it sounded repetitive among songs like “Shelter From the Storm?” Either way, this song is amazingly great!
Find Pete Hamill's notes on the 1st issue of the Blood on the Tracks album (old guy) and read beautiful prose poem to Bob from all of us... Extraordinary!
"If I 'd pay attention to what others we're thinkin' , the heart inside me would' ve died"..so true. like.most of all songs from the young Bob Dylan..time isn't the enemy for him, because his art is Out of Time!!!
I agree with you, completly, Cornelia. Your analysis are very accurated. I am retired since february 2021 and I have paid attention in all lyrics I listen to, reading them, because I have audition deficience. All lyrics are fundamentals and unique.

Yep, but this is a different take from the one on Biograph--I played that one so, so much back in the late 80s (on cassette! It was great having a car stereo that detected the silence so you could rewind straight to the start of the piece).

The metal harmonica with no wood or plastic cover, bare down to the notes the one I’ve kept, worthless to anyone else but me. Sure, it still works as it did proving it’s what’s on the inside that matters. Hopefully this will mean something to someone.

On the same music that "Shelter of the storm" : happy those who can unterstand Bob. But perhaps it is better to imagine he's singing the Psalms of the Old Alliance between God-Adonaï-Iesus the Nazorean and all these people who can listen to Him...
Everything went from bad to worse, money never changed a thing Death kept followin', trackin' us down, at least I heard your bluebird sing Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy I know you're long gone I guess it must be up to me If I'd thought about it I never would've done it, I guess I would've let it slide If I'd pay attention to what others were thinkin', the heart inside me would've died Well, I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity Someone had to reach for the risin' star I guess it was up to me Oh, the Union Central is pullin' out, the orchids are in bloom I've only got me one good shirt left and it smells of stale perfume In 14 months I've only smiled once and I didn't do it consciously Somebody's got to find your trail I guess it must be up to me It was like a revelation when you betrayed me with your touch I'd just about convinced myself, nothin' had changed that much The old Rounder in the iron mask, he slipped me the master key Somebody had to unlock your heart He said it was up to me Now, I watched you slowly disappear down into the officer's club I would've followed you in the door but I didn't have a ticket stub So I waited all night 'til the break of day, hopin' one of us could get free Ho, when the dawn came over the river bridge I knew it was up to me The only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work Was I a fool or not to protect your real identity? You looked a little burned out, my friend I thought it might be up to me I met somebody face to face, I had to remove my hat She's everything I need and love but I can't be swayed by that It frightens me, the awful truth of how sweet life can be But she ain't gonna make a move I guess it must be up to me Now, we heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects When you bite off more than you can chew, you got to pay the penalty Somebody's got to tell the tale I guess it must be up to me Dupree came in pimpin' tonight to the Thunderbird Cafe Crystal wanted to talk to him, I had to look the other way Now, I just can't rest without you, love, I need your company But you ain't a-gonna cross the line I guess it must be up to me There's a note left in the bottle, you can give it to Estelle She's the one you been wonderin' about, but there's really nothin' much to tell We both heard voices for a while, now the rest is history Somebody's got to cry some tears I guess it must be up to me So go on, boys, and play your hands, life is a pantomime The ringleaders from the county seat say you don't have all that much time And the girl with me behind the shades, she ain't my property One of us has got to hit the road I guess it must be up to me If we never meet again, baby, remember me How my lone guitar played sweet for you that old-time melody And the harmonica around my neck, I blew it for you, free No one else could play that tune You know it was up to me

He did bite off more than he could chew He died because the Golden Rule gave him no choice not because of 2000 years of mankinds sins All cultures and religions have examples of the Golden Rule If all nations followed the Golden Rule, we'd have no wars It wasn't about our sins 2000 after Jesus, that's part of why we still haven't seen peace Too many folk think they can sin all they want and still be forgiven if they make a cross gesture and promise their soul to something they don't understand or go to confession and hail Mary their evil deeds away

Bob Dylan: The Works Of The Holy Spirit: " In The Beginning Was The Word, and The Word Was With God, and The Word Was God." He Spoke The Universe Into Existence With The Sound Of His Voice. ...And Faith without works is dead. How do you tell a dying world about The Life Giving Master without having the world coming after you because you're a Christian? Who could take that risk and figure out how to do that amongst those who might have a platform to do so? None of them want to due to fear, and who amongst them can be trusted? Just like Jakob Dylan said in one of his songs, "There must be someone amongst us that we can trust." Who has the insight, perseverance, experience, spiritual gift, education, love in his heart, and soul, notiriity, and knows just the right words to use to figure that one out? You do Bob Dylan, and you know that it's what the world needs right now. Can you honestly say you weren't born in these last days generations for no reason? The Lord did choose you. Everything bad might come to those of Jewish Heritage first, but so does everything good come to those of Jewish Heritage first. I think you should figure out some words and music to open the ears, eyes, and minds of the world to salvation some how without them taking it the wrong way. You're probably the only man still around who can do it. Maybe you can start by recording the song called : The Blessing.....and May God Bless You! Victoria

@@bobdylan4502 Bob Dylan: All these strange things that happened in my life: I was in a laundry mat in Callie. A black girl started talking to me. She said she was Pentacostal, and asked if I wanted to attend her Church. I said no because I already attended another Church. She said she could see that I was broken hearted and told me she wanted to pray for me. I said okay well go ahead. She laid hands on me, and I busted out crying. Then she asked if I felt heat. I told her yes, from my feet up to my head. She told me it was The Holy Spirit. As I recall, I was 29 years old. She asked me some questions about the people who used to be in my life, but actually she told me stuff about two of them. She happened to be actually right. After that I thought to myself if she might be a witch or something, but I figured out that she wasn't, and had really been for real about The Holy Spirit because a few days later, I could actually Discern that The Holy Spirit was showing me and telling me things. The first thing He told me is that He's been preparing me for the time that is to come. I had often heard my grandmother talk about the end of days, but didn't think that it'd be taking place in the time that we were living in. A lot of other strange things happened to me that were messages too, like I told you that I actually met Mr. T on a flight from Mo to Callie. Never thought that much about it until he was in Office. One time I was working at The College Admissions Dept. at The Community College I attended. This was in the early 1980's. They had a preschool there that my 2 kids attended while I was in my classes. I was working part time at admissions, and sitting at an outdoor table checking applications of everyone in line before they go in, because there was a line around the building. Some kid behind me told me that the man two people behind him was trying to stick a fly on my back. I went to that man and asked him what he thought he was doing. He had a tiny fly in a glass jar. I asked what's this about. He said he was Iranian and did I know about The Muslim Faith. I told him no, not much, and that I only took one World Religions Class so far and knew just a little about it. Then he asked if I'm a Christian. I said yes. So then he said this tiny little fly from the middle East is how we are going to take all the Christians out. I said what? Again, I thought that guy was just a crazy person. So I go back to my seat; He gets up to the line, and now he has a friend with him. He asked me what I thought about his friend. I said, well, he's somewhat good looking. So then the Iranian guy said his friends name was Barrack. I said okay, well, how do you do, and shook his hand. I told him his pink shirt was nice. The Iranian guy said, yah, he likes men. Then the Barrack guy said don't believe him, I don't really. I'm just telling you the conversation, but that's not what it was all about. The Iranian guy said that his friend thinks he's going to be President and said yah, he studied political science at another University and is just visiting me. So I asked the Iranian guy what his major was. He said Math and Science. I just told him that math might be my downfall because I'm not good at it. It was hot out that day, and I had a shirt on that showed my shoulders. He said that I shouldn't show my shoulders. Show I said that I had to help the other people in line and he'd have to move along before my boss comes out and I get in trouble for holding up the line. He said okay, then he slapped me on the back of my shoulder. Something felt like it was a pin and hurt. The kid behind me said hey that guy just put that fly on you and your bleeding. So my coworker sitting in the chair next to me handed me a Kleenex out of her purse. I did bleed a little. A few months went by and there was a black spot on the back of my shoulder. I knew that I never had a mole there, so I picked it off, and out of my skin came that little bitty fly hooked with a tiny string to a tiny stick, just like that Iranian guy had it in his glass jar. Somehow he had thought to kill me and maybe because I was Christian. I don't know, but after Mr. O got I'm office, I told a girlfriend of mine that The guy who's President looks just like some guy I met when I was working at the college one day years ago. She said really? I told her I can almost swear it was him. I kid you not! I've only told these things to my best girlfriend, my 2 kids, my current husband, a few other people, and you Bob Dylan. Love VC

What I love about this channel is that it lists BD's future tour itinerary/performances. He is still going strong at 81. How would I have gotten through the pandemic without him? In our darkest hour, Rough and Rowdy Ways descended on the world and lit it up again.
“Going,” sure, but “strong”?
Completely out of this world, the tune, the imagery, it's biblical and it's contemporary, it's inspired. It's not human
It's beautifully human. Only line that's turned sour: "The girl with me behind the shades, she ain't my property" Yikes...
I didn't even KNOW about this one! It's lyrically superb. What a storyteller. Each song is a novel in itself!
JUNKIES KNOW. YOU LOVE IT.
The greatest rock and roll lyricist of all time...🙂
This is the take I always listen to.
I always liked the one from the first bootleg collection
Naa man you can’t beat The version on biography ….
Yea that’s the one i mean on biograph
Nah i'm with you, Speed up tempo conveys the emotions better.
This is the better version
Up to me... Oh, God... Good! Thank for available to us... I am discovering many songs Bob I didn't know.

Hes Bob the Binner. Same with Blind Willie McTell

I too agree that this is a great song and should have been in the album.
Is it maybe an early version of ''shelter'' ?
May have left it off as more overtly autobiographical.
Truly great music Bob!❤️💎💜💙💚💛

Omg what a tune amazing lyrics
Thanx for putting this up brilliant
You should be the boss . Real man takes charge.

Far to good a song to have been left behind
But when ya stumble on it, thinkn heard it all. Oh the joy. This is bliss.

Love it classic🎸
I’ve Always said lounging around in the company of Friends and Strangers… I’ll keep Bob… Ya’ll can keep Allllllll the rest of The Others.
Nobody does unrequited like Bob.
very good the song Bob.................................
Such great lyrics!
This Song should of been on Blood on tracks it a gem 💎.
It is most similar to You're gonna make me lonesome when you're gone - but perhaps superior.
reminds me of 'Tangled up in blue'. both songs are fine.
super album and great song thanks Bob Dylan .......☻♥♥♥
Concentrated effort , with The attitude wins hearts.
Some wonderful lines in this song. (which figures...)
Wonderful , wonderful . Congrats from Brazil ..,
LE POÈTE!!!

I prefer the take that was released on biogragh in the 80s. Just saying. God love Bob and all of you
Dont now aw to praise yuo eny more tanks 4 this jem
The metal harmonica with no wood or plastic cover, bare down to the notes the one I’ve kept, worthless to anyone else but me. Sure, it still works as it did proving it’s what’s on the inside that matters. Hopefully this will mean something to someone.

Happy New Year
On the same music that "Shelter of the storm" : happy those who can unterstand Bob. But perhaps it is better to imagine he's singing the Psalms of the Old Alliance between God-Adonaï-Iesus the Nazorean and all these people who can listen to Him...
Everything went from bad to worse, money never changed a thing
Death kept followin', trackin' us down, at least I heard your bluebird sing
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
I know you're long gone
I guess it must be up to me
If I'd thought about it I never would've done it, I guess I would've let it slide
If I'd pay attention to what others were thinkin', the heart inside me would've died
Well, I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
Someone had to reach for the risin' star
I guess it was up to me
Oh, the Union Central is pullin' out, the orchids are in bloom
I've only got me one good shirt left and it smells of stale perfume
In 14 months I've only smiled once and I didn't do it consciously
Somebody's got to find your trail
I guess it must be up to me
It was like a revelation when you betrayed me with your touch
I'd just about convinced myself, nothin' had changed that much
The old Rounder in the iron mask, he slipped me the master key
Somebody had to unlock your heart
He said it was up to me
Now, I watched you slowly disappear down into the officer's club
I would've followed you in the door but I didn't have a ticket stub
So I waited all night 'til the break of day, hopin' one of us could get free
Ho, when the dawn came over the river bridge
I knew it was up to me
The only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk
Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work
Was I a fool or not to protect your real identity?
You looked a little burned out, my friend
I thought it might be up to me
I met somebody face to face, I had to remove my hat
She's everything I need and love but I can't be swayed by that
It frightens me, the awful truth of how sweet life can be
But she ain't gonna make a move
I guess it must be up to me
Now, we heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex
It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects
When you bite off more than you can chew, you got to pay the penalty
Somebody's got to tell the tale
I guess it must be up to me
Dupree came in pimpin' tonight to the Thunderbird Cafe
Crystal wanted to talk to him, I had to look the other way
Now, I just can't rest without you, love, I need your company
But you ain't a-gonna cross the line
I guess it must be up to me
There's a note left in the bottle, you can give it to Estelle
She's the one you been wonderin' about, but there's really nothin' much to tell
We both heard voices for a while, now the rest is history
Somebody's got to cry some tears
I guess it must be up to me
So go on, boys, and play your hands, life is a pantomime
The ringleaders from the county seat say you don't have all that much time
And the girl with me behind the shades, she ain't my property
One of us has got to hit the road
I guess it must be up to me
If we never meet again, baby, remember me
How my lone guitar played sweet for you that old-time melody
And the harmonica around my neck, I blew it for you, free
No one else could play that tune
You know it was up to me
Bob
What key is the harmonica in?
Al least I heard your bluebird sing
❤️❤️❤️

The Roger McGuinn version is nice too- a little more rock n roll.
Gonna try that one but I love this!
not nearly as good, all the subtlety lost
💔
He did bite off more than he could chew
He died because the Golden Rule gave him no choice not because of 2000 years of mankinds sins
All cultures and religions have examples of the Golden Rule
If all nations followed the Golden Rule, we'd have no wars
It wasn't about our sins 2000 after Jesus, that's part of why we still haven't seen peace
Too many folk think they can sin all they want and still be forgiven if they make a cross gesture and promise their soul to something they don't understand or go to confession and hail Mary their evil deeds away

Amen.
If this is the “mother” of Shelter from the Storm”, it is the sister of Lily, Rosemarie and the Jack of Hearts
This reminds me ov simple twist of fate

Any body have the chord progression?
Is it standard tuning?
What tuning is this version?
Open D, I believe.
Blue eyes and me hit the road

It's like he wrote this yesterday.
Fell asleep second time after sweet O thinking of ya. Wow
Oh mama
I'll bet it was left off because it was similar to "you're going to make me lonesome when you go"
...what the f*ck dylan, you did it again!
No falla
Bob Dylan: The Works Of The Holy Spirit: " In The Beginning Was The Word, and The Word Was With God, and The Word Was God." He Spoke The Universe Into Existence With The Sound Of His Voice. ...And Faith without works is dead. How do you tell a dying world about The Life Giving Master without having the world coming after you because you're a Christian? Who could take that risk and figure out how to do that amongst those who might have a platform to do so? None of them want to due to fear, and who amongst them can be trusted? Just like Jakob Dylan said in one of his songs, "There must be someone amongst us that we can trust." Who has the insight, perseverance, experience, spiritual gift, education, love in his heart, and soul, notiriity, and knows just the right words to use to figure that one out? You do Bob Dylan, and you know that it's what the world needs right now. Can you honestly say you weren't born in these last days generations for no reason? The Lord did choose you. Everything bad might come to those of Jewish Heritage first, but so does everything good come to those of Jewish Heritage first. I think you should figure out some words and music to open the ears, eyes, and minds of the world to salvation some how without them taking it the wrong way. You're probably the only man still around who can do it. Maybe you can start by recording the song called : The Blessing.....and May God Bless You! Victoria

@@bobdylan4502 Bob Dylan: All these strange things that happened in my life: I was in a laundry mat in Callie. A black girl started talking to me. She said she was Pentacostal, and asked if I wanted to attend her Church. I said no because I already attended another Church. She said she could see that I was broken hearted and told me she wanted to pray for me. I said okay well go ahead. She laid hands on me, and I busted out crying. Then she asked if I felt heat. I told her yes, from my feet up to my head. She told me it was The Holy Spirit. As I recall, I was 29 years old. She asked me some questions about the people who used to be in my life, but actually she told me stuff about two of them. She happened to be actually right. After that I thought to myself if she might be a witch or something, but I figured out that she wasn't, and had really been for real about The Holy Spirit because a few days later, I could actually Discern that The Holy Spirit was showing me and telling me things. The first thing He told me is that He's been preparing me for the time that is to come. I had often heard my grandmother talk about the end of days, but didn't think that it'd be taking place in the time that we were living in. A lot of other strange things happened to me that were messages too, like I told you that I actually met Mr. T on a flight from Mo to Callie. Never thought that much about it until he was in Office. One time I was working at The College Admissions Dept. at The Community College I attended. This was in the early 1980's. They had a preschool there that my 2 kids attended while I was in my classes. I was working part time at admissions, and sitting at an outdoor table checking applications of everyone in line before they go in, because there was a line around the building. Some kid behind me told me that the man two people behind him was trying to stick a fly on my back. I went to that man and asked him what he thought he was doing. He had a tiny fly in a glass jar. I asked what's this about. He said he was Iranian and did I know about The Muslim Faith. I told him no, not much, and that I only took one World Religions Class so far and knew just a little about it. Then he asked if I'm a Christian. I said yes. So then he said this tiny little fly from the middle East is how we are going to take all the Christians out. I said what? Again, I thought that guy was just a crazy person. So I go back to my seat; He gets up to the line, and now he has a friend with him. He asked me what I thought about his friend. I said, well, he's somewhat good looking. So then the Iranian guy said his friends name was Barrack. I said okay, well, how do you do, and shook his hand. I told him his pink shirt was nice. The Iranian guy said, yah, he likes men. Then the Barrack guy said don't believe him, I don't really. I'm just telling you the conversation, but that's not what it was all about. The Iranian guy said that his friend thinks he's going to be President and said yah, he studied political science at another University and is just visiting me. So I asked the Iranian guy what his major was. He said Math and Science. I just told him that math might be my downfall because I'm not good at it. It was hot out that day, and I had a shirt on that showed my shoulders. He said that I shouldn't show my shoulders. Show I said that I had to help the other people in line and he'd have to move along before my boss comes out and I get in trouble for holding up the line. He said okay, then he slapped me on the back of my shoulder. Something felt like it was a pin and hurt. The kid behind me said hey that guy just put that fly on you and your bleeding. So my coworker sitting in the chair next to me handed me a Kleenex out of her purse. I did bleed a little. A few months went by and there was a black spot on the back of my shoulder. I knew that I never had a mole there, so I picked it off, and out of my skin came that little bitty fly hooked with a tiny string to a tiny stick, just like that Iranian guy had it in his glass jar. Somehow he had thought to kill me and maybe because I was Christian. I don't know, but after Mr. O got I'm office, I told a girlfriend of mine that The guy who's President looks just like some guy I met when I was working at the college one day years ago. She said really? I told her I can almost swear it was him. I kid you not! I've only told these things to my best girlfriend, my 2 kids, my current husband, a few other people, and you Bob Dylan. Love VC
