Not really my dear David, I would hope it really worked like that. It's shit and shit all around. No it does not. No prophet and no body changes no shit. Sorry.
Find the end line, it's the punch line. The joke is that he doesn't know the song and that he made it up along the way and an early version is probably off the top of his head. Then keep telling the joke until it's refined.
That's pretty much what Dylan himself said about this song. He said that each line was the start of a song and rather than write all of the songs he made one song out of them.
Dylan is an amazing writer. Take your pick of a song of his and listen. There's "the Masters of War" ,"The Times they are a Changing", "With God on our Side". There are so many songs. "Blowing in the Wind," "Mr. Tambourine Man", etc.
Yeah, it sounds like the song "Lord Ronald" sung by John MacDonald.. "What had you for dinner Lord Ronald my son...what had you for dinner my handsome young man".... (where have you been my blue eyed son, and where have you been my darling young one)... it probably is a very old song older than the Bob Dylan version.
My dad died almost 6 months ago, and for some reason this song reminds me of him. I started crying about halfway through. I never thought I would cry to a Bob Dylan song, but here we are...
I saw “A complete Unknown” today. I had the theater to myself..!!! I was singing out loud … Then I cried a lot…., Of course I am a super fan … Thank you Bob for giving us all of these treasures. ❤️❤️❤️
My dad told me anytime he heard this song he'd think of me and wonder how i was doing, now it's been 3 days since he passed and I've listened to this at least two times because now it makes me think of him
@@cheapstixxx What you wrote is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and it made me cry (in a good way). I will never miss anyone as much as my dad. Bless you. I guess we're the lucky ones because we loved ours and I know people who either hated or didn't even have a dad. We were blessed.
You'll hear this ten times... a hundred times... a THOUSAND times... and you will remember that your dad thought of you every time he heard it. It's a worthy song. Blessings to you, dude.
Sorry for your loss really music feeds our souls and it has the power to make time stand still by marking that place in time by a song and when ever we hear it it takes us back to that special space in time in our minds God's speed
The great song writers...dont sing to much its about the words and music relationship .its written down by them usually with Hope's of a singer ...kris kristofferson comes to mind ..they are great in the craft of words and music not in its execution
Agreed. That is very well put. I have always said that Bob doesn't sing, so much as talk and tell a story. He has probably been the voice of 2 generations now. America's poet and troubador.
I differ to beg with you--There are plenty of Dylan covers that are great. My favorite is Bill Camplin: See if you can get your hands on a copy of Bill Camplin's "Dylan Project One", 2003. "I was wanting to write / brilliant liner notes / but could not / Best reason to do Bob Dylan material / It needs no liner notes" It's a little hard to track down but you won't be disappointed if you do.
Dear RoofRack2 - I was just explaining this to my wife this very night. I am very blessed, if you don’t mind me explaining, to have a wonderful wife from Persia, or Iran, as we know it. Despite the disgraceful portrayal of Iranian people in western media, Iran is a land of poets - truly. Whereas myself and yourself might think of Shakespeare or James Joyce or Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman, there are truly many, many Iranian poets both living and historical - Hafiz, khayam, Ferdowsi and Rumi to name few. Nonetheless, after a wonderful evening with great friends this evening I mentioned to my wife just how amazing Bob Dylan is. I was amazed to think how, after 6 years of marriage we hadn’t really spoken about the genius that is a Bob Dylan. Anyway, I related to her that like the great American forefathers, Bob Dylan was a true, genius poet from the USA who had influenced pretty much everyone since the Beatles up until many people of the present day. It was a strange moment. I realised I had spent the last 20 years of my life discovering poets of the world only to come back to the genius I started listening to 20 years ago. I had the definite feeling that Bob Dylan is truly one of the world’s greatest poets. It made me very happy to speak to Iranian expletive about this genius just as I am happy to speak to us westerners about the great poets of Persia. But it was just interesting - I don’t think there has walked a greater poet than this man - and in song form too. I’m going on a little now but I am a great fan of the USA. I think your country is extremely important in the worlds development and I thank God for heroes like Bob Dylan. Many thanks to you guys.
So totally brilliant. Totally deserved the Nobel prize, even tho he refused it for 2 years. The songwriter poet of my generation. So relevant 60 yrs later.
Initially he ignored them and the Nobel people were pissed, I think Bob wanted to ignore the elite Swedes but he was forced to accept by his people. Ignoring the sycophants and asskissers is more like Dylan then accepting their anal licks for bullion.
Saw A Complete Unknown with my Mom and didn’t want it to end. I think it helped us connect on a deeper level. A bridge between the boomer and millennial generations + a gift to the next gens that may not yet know Bob Dylan like we do.
Heard this on my car radio and bought this album at a record store on Grant Street San Francisco. I am now 88 years old and still listening to him, especially "Talkin World III Blues" ...G% ...zzzZ
He was 21 years old when he wrote this. What were you doing at 21? Yeah, I know, same here. It’s astonishing that someone so young could write something so important and so timeless. It’s a masterpiece.
i dont mean to be rude but.. what about he is blue eyed? dont understand it. Edit: Im such an idiot, is because of the lyrics, have a nice day and im so happy for you.
Beautiful to hear and I’m sharing the same experience with my three Sons. I send a text saying.. Where have you been my blue eyed Son? I get variations back saying, ‘ they’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains’. ‘I’ve seen a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it’. Peace and love to you and your children. 💕
Isn't it the best when something finally clicks and you begin to appreciate an artist that may not have made sense at one point in your life but after a little living it's a complete different story.
Yeah it's truly extraordinary. He read a lot of poetry and borrowed liberally as all great songwriters do, but yeah Dylan is such a generational talent he's in his own class.
Well if we were millions to hang on every one of his words for 60 years, it means that his voice conveyed something that became part of our inner self. It seems to me that every single singer dreams his voice be able to have this impact. Singing is not about technique, it s about vibrating of sensibility.
it's about feelling what you sing. He's the author of his songs, so he absolutly feells. There are songs he performed in a different way on concerts. For instance, i adore "Mr. Tambourine Man", but i didn't liked the way he sang it at one of concerts. Words were broken. "Tommo...row", "So....row". But on some smaller concerts he performed it perfectly. of course, he was performing his feelings at certain moment. Many years after appearing of the song, he couldn't feel it the same way
@@dejanjovanovic2298I've wondered how on earth he remembered the words, even though he wrote them. I have to admit it: I'll listen to The Byrds and tend to think: yeah, enough is enough! But on certain days, you revert to Dylan. But unfortunately, those are the difficult times when it's Dylan. This is basically a junkies theme song.
I sang his songs in grade school in the sixties "how many roads must a man walk down..." during Vietnam, during the civil rights struggles and when Martin and Bobby were still with us. Now, 60 years later I marvel how someone so young could write such lyrics. Thank you Robert!
Idk if this actually sent so im redoing it but if it did im sorry, im 17 and recently my dad died of Alzheimer's, he was a huge dylan fan, even through the final stages whenever we put dylan on he would smile and start singing along getting nostalgia, and this is the last song he ever listened to before he died, my sister played it for him, this song means so much to me now and i cry eveeytime i listen to it, but recently ive become a huge dylan fan, everytime i listen to dylan i feel more connceted to my dad, i know bob wont see this but i had to comment, much love to all the old heads here still jammin out to dylan 🤙 rest in peace John Burckhard, sept 2nd 1950-dec 7th, 3:24 AM 2024
had the same experience dude, he died dec 2, 2024. The first year with no dad is really weird and you feel so many things but try to focus on the hobbies and people you love even when you dont feel like it. Your dads love will always be with you, literally.
This black Detroit 60's chick loved Dylan's songs and Dylan's voice. We he sang on we are the world l told my kids thats the voice of my generation. Glad the handsome curly haired boy Timothy Calumet is playing my handsome curly haired man Bob Dylan .
@@mickjagger8439 Agreed! I loved Bob Dylan , the Beatles and the British invasion groups as much as my Motown groups. I only say. I am a black Detroit chick cause in high school some kids said the music of iron butterfly and Beatles and beach boys was the music of this girl who was white at her party , black and white kids said that and l said that's my music also. I love folk,rock ,country ,soul ,hip hop and rhythm and blues even surfing music and Bob Dylan is one of my favorites ❤!
Bob was a prophet but never realized it and would never admit it. Very humble. He said "I never wanted to be a guru, I just wanted to write my music." I was 13 when Bob started selling albums, he was my guru then. He felt the pulse of my generation.
My hair is gray now. But I was alive when the music was poetry that I still take with me everywhere. There is nothing today that comes close to Bob Dylan.
I am 74 and grew up with Dylan. I am lying my the bed with my 12 year old son listening to this. He agrees with all the lyrics. The world’s a mess and he is going to sort it.
My boy is a traveler. He has beautiful blue eyes. He is the most adventurous spirit I have ever known. I listen to this and think of him. His experiences in life are broader than mine at this point. What a wonderful man he is becoming ❤
First heard Bob Dylan in 1966 when I went to Pittsburgh on a scholarship from Pakistan. I still have his LP Blonde on Blonde. That’s when I also got introduced to Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, and the like. They were the ones that were my companion in loneliness in a land far off from where I was from. I treasure those days.
Im an old man and grew up with Bob.....and just now appreciating his lyrics.......I cant imagine a kid bein this young and writing this........it's unimaginable....genious
Bob Dylan impacted the world, but the world was not able to absorb burry, or silence.him He has a vocal presence and intensity that does not go away. He is both a thorn and a flower
This is probably the most compelling and darkest song ever written, and yet... in the middle of all this darkness there's this wonderful line: "I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow"... without Dylan, Rock'n'Roll would still and only be dancefloor music... at best
@Spencer Phelps True... to a certain extent. Really, I did not wish to go down that path but since you mention it I have to say that I was thinking white man's R'n'R. Again, it's true that this form of R'n'R stripped the Blues and R'n'B of it's soul, literally, turning it into a teenage form of only dancefloor love songs. That said, although Blues and jazz had soul well beyond any other form of popular music, save a few exceptions, it was neither systematically protest nor topical (until the advent of Rap). Dylan may have drawn a lot from the blues (certainly has), as well as other forms of music, but he put back soul and mind into R'n'R.

This was playing in the background while I had my first romantic cuddle a year after my wife of 53 years passed. Those quite profound lyrics are now a foundation stone in my journey.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
On the eve of your 80th and my 70th, I turn to you Mr. Dylan... and this song to share with those coming behind us. Thank you for everything and best wishes....
So many of his lyrics seem to apply to big events that happen and then become history, and/or to pivotal events in your life that only you (or maybe one or two other people) know about. Crazy.
You either listen to Dylan & hear & connect with his poetry put into lyrics or you hate him. Doesn't seem to be any in betweens. I buried my father to two of his songs, named my 1st son after him and can listen to 72 of Dylan's greatests without skipping a song so i hear him, get him & truely love him.
I am so with you on your comment. I to hear him, get him and love him. He is truly incredible and gifted. I always have thought that he had and has Angelic backup. His lyrics Flo on and on and on like an inexhaustible Fountain of inspiration.

Probably the best Dylan song, right? Gets my vote. Thank you.
Bob Dylan was 21 when he wrote this. It sounds like he was a thousand.
Hahaa man it’s so true though
sounds like .... it was a thousand years ago
This song is relevant for thousands of years

Awesome. No comment. A genius.
Just a guitar, a voice and words. The prophet changes the world.
He didn't change crap, boomer. Stop pretending.
Not really my dear David, I would hope it really worked like that. It's shit and shit all around. No it does not. No prophet and no body changes no shit. Sorry.
“All I got are three chords and the truth.” 😎
I'd only add he showed us the world as it is. We have yet to really change it.
Thank God I shared the planet at the same time as Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Bob Marley😎

Find the end line, it's the punch line. The joke is that he doesn't know the song and that he made it up along the way and an early version is probably off the top of his head. Then keep telling the joke until it's refined.
It's a gift...
This isn't one song...it's a thousand. It's life and death, love and hate and, even after sixty years, it still gives me tears and chills.
That's pretty much what Dylan himself said about this song. He said that each line was the start of a song and rather than write all of the songs he made one song out of them.
Sixty years for me as well. Only one thing in reply, "Too bloody right".
Dylan is an amazing writer. Take your pick of a song of his and listen. There's "the Masters of War" ,"The Times they are a Changing", "With God on our Side". There are so many songs. "Blowing in the Wind," "Mr. Tambourine Man", etc.

We absolutely loved it! Mr. J. Cash was in it! 🎉
I saw it, too. It was amazing ❤
Saw that great movie today. I went and left knowing he is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century.
Never heard of it. Where’s it playing?
He was a poet and a philosopher. If a poet isn’t a philosopher, they write nothing worth saying. He resonates with our souls.
He IS, he is my dear lady
dont kill him pls
was?

Bob has to be the greatest songwriter ever to walk this planet.
He definitely is
One of the greatest. Rabindranath tagore i guess also takes the place
One of the greatest. Maybe you don't know him because you're not Italian but Fabrizio De Andrè is as great as Bob Dylan
Only Bob Dylan can not really be able to sing and still have a legendary reputation its all down to his songwriting

Idk if this actually sent so im redoing it but if it did im sorry, im 17 and recently my dad died of Alzheimer's, he was a huge dylan fan, even through the final stages whenever we put dylan on he would smile and start singing along getting nostalgia, and this is the last song he ever listened to before he died, my sister played it for him, this song means so much to me now and i cry eveeytime i listen to it, but recently ive become a huge dylan fan, everytime i listen to dylan i feel more connceted to my dad, i know bob wont see this but i had to comment, much love to all the old heads here still jammin out to dylan 🤙 rest in peace John Burckhard, sept 2nd 1950-dec 7th, 3:24 AM 2024
had the same experience dude, he died dec 2, 2024. The first year with no dad is really weird and you feel so many things but try to focus on the hobbies and people you love even when you dont feel like it. Your dads love will always be with you, literally.
This black Detroit 60's chick loved Dylan's songs and Dylan's voice. We he sang on we are the world l told my kids thats the voice of my generation. Glad the handsome curly haired boy Timothy Calumet is playing my handsome curly haired man Bob Dylan
.
This white dude loved Motown music. Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, The Supremes, The Temptations, etc.
Great music is not about race.
@@mickjagger8439 Agreed! I loved Bob Dylan , the Beatles and the British invasion groups as much as my Motown groups. I only say. I am a black Detroit chick cause in high school some kids said the music of iron butterfly and Beatles and beach boys was the music of this girl who was white at her party , black and white kids said that and l said that's my music also. I love folk,rock ,country ,soul ,hip hop and rhythm and blues even surfing music and Bob Dylan is one of my favorites ❤!
My favorite Bob Dylan song.
Mine too.
Where in Gods name did this song come from??? Utterly unique and breathtaking in its scariness… such eloquence and vision ..
Bob was a prophet but never realized it and would never admit it. Very humble. He said "I never wanted to be a guru, I just wanted to write my music." I was 13 when Bob started selling albums, he was my guru then. He felt the pulse of my generation.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
He is definitely A PROPHET
This song literally could have come out yesterday and still be relevant
great poetry is eternal
Dylan, Bob can sing and write.
Singer- Songwriter they call it. He's also a poet.
The mystical magic of the world he described opened our eyes with his minimalist voice to stark new realities we knew we couldn't ignore.
Haven't heard this tune in thirty years. Never realized how amazing it is. Makes me cry makes me sing.
Best comment ever ,thank you stay strong and well.
me too
Me three ! but you need another brain to memorize all the lines..or at least have the words in front of you to sing along
"Makes me cry, makes me sing" That's your heart telling you that you are lacking somehow in your life B, listen to it, follow it, be whole!
This song makes me cry. It is sad beyond words, yet contains so much beauty.
It's lyrics like these that justify all the Nobel Prizes in the world!! This is poetry at its best!
trump needs to listen 👂 to this song but it wouldn’t do any good a hard rains gonna fall
My hair is gray now. But I was alive when the music was poetry that I still take with me everywhere. There is nothing today that comes close to Bob Dylan.
@@marygrove9805 trump is retreating from the wars,i guess he mightve listened to it somewhere along the line
Very profound and from the heart Christin 🤘 what are you doing tonight??
Agreed. And I'm not a fan of poetry, but this is really intense. Really intense
We have seen nothin' yet.... BLESS US ALL...!!!!!
I am 74 and grew up with Dylan. I am lying my the bed with my 12 year old son listening to this. He agrees with all the lyrics. The world’s a mess and he is going to sort it.
This is the ultimate traveller’s song. It keeps me warm on the coldest hillsides and longest roads
Same
My boy is a traveler. He has beautiful blue eyes. He is the most adventurous spirit I have ever known. I listen to this and think of him. His experiences in life are broader than mine at this point. What a wonderful man he is becoming ❤
Dylan sings just fine, some people don't hear.
He honestly does idk what ppl mean by saying he can't sing lol I don't think he's trying to sing, Bob Dylan is just amazing
He is beyond the mind
This the anthem of humanity and the message is for every generation, regardless of past present and future.
First India. I saw here bhai..👍
@@MihulSinghRawat kya fayada, hypocrites hain him. Use karte hain Bob ko bas, apne ko better samajh rahe hain, nahin hain
If only they all could hear it...truly hear it
Been listening to Dylan since 65. My wife says he can't sing.....I don't think she gets it.
federalist46
His voice is still atrocious, an acquired taste..;)
federalist46 So is his face.
It's the poignant imperfections that make his voice beautiful.
federalist46 Different doesn't mean bad and his voice perfectly serves his honest, meaningful and gut punching lyrics and songs.
i think his voice perfectly fits his style and message
anyways, he obviously relies on his lyrical genius more than anything
First heard Bob Dylan in 1966 when I went to Pittsburgh on a scholarship from Pakistan. I still have his LP Blonde on Blonde. That’s when I also got introduced to Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, and the like. They were the ones that were my companion in loneliness in a land far off from where I was from. I treasure those days.
So you're back in Pakistan or in Pittsburgh?
In Pakistan
@@tdurrani5 Hi Hope you're doing well.
@@susannabonke8552 Age factor prostrate related complications. But mentally still OK.
@@tdurrani5 best wishes.
America's genius
The Rimbaud of the back roads
Greatness has a few names
Bob Dylan is one of them
My father shared this with me and now I shared it with my son. It's beautiful
❤
That’s how you do it. The music and a father’s love last forever. You will be remembered by your son for eternity each time he hears this magic!
This song still changes me after hearing it hundreds of times. Genius…period.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
He is the master of emotions. Truthful words.
Genius -- I couldn't of said it better myself. Nicely said. I agree. :)
@@Bryanadamsmusicinc don't B.S her.....
Im an old man and grew up with Bob.....and just now appreciating his lyrics.......I cant imagine a kid bein this young and writing this........it's unimaginable....genious
dave toffen legendary
Ur so lucky sir
I've often wondered if Bob Dylan and John Foggerty knew there words would be as profound today as they were back then
Dave - I'm only 75 & still tearin' !!!!!
Pity the generations without ?
allway's been and allway's rest my favorite song.
a song for all ages and times, a miraculous string of lyric from somewhere beyond, carrying the voice of millions
A hard rains gonna fall...rain is soft but humans are cruel.
The repetition of the melody and the magical lyrics become a mesmerizing mantra. A masterpiece from Dylan.
Incredible poetic imagery - the mechanics resemble Anglo-Saxon poetry, I think.
Iambic pentameter. Dylan was a real poet.
The poet laureate of my generation. Congrats on the Nobel.
I used to sing this song to my son . My darling young one. 😢
Bob Dylan impacted the world, but the world was not able to absorb burry, or silence.him He has a vocal presence and intensity that does not go away. He is both a thorn and a flower
This is probably the most compelling and darkest song ever written, and yet... in the middle of all this darkness there's this wonderful line: "I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow"... without Dylan, Rock'n'Roll would still and only be dancefloor music... at best
ruclips.net/channel/UCeAsW8G8tWgXSac46V27c6w
Indeed. Except for that line, it reminds me of Revelation. Terrifying and prophetic.
He really puts you in the mind of a veteran who experienced tragedy in the war. Ptsd simulator right here
So true.
@Spencer Phelps True... to a certain extent. Really, I did not wish to go down that path but since you mention it I have to say that I was thinking white man's R'n'R. Again, it's true that this form of R'n'R stripped the Blues and R'n'B of it's soul, literally, turning it into a teenage form of only dancefloor love songs. That said, although Blues and jazz had soul well beyond any other form of popular music, save a few exceptions, it was neither systematically protest nor topical (until the advent of Rap). Dylan may have drawn a lot from the blues (certainly has), as well as other forms of music, but he put back soul and mind into R'n'R.
This song is as relevant today as ever. Greed, destroying the environment, racism and turning away from people in need. It's all in there.
Dylan was a modern prophet.

“I’ll know my song well before I can sing it” 💯
This was playing in the background while I had my first romantic cuddle a year after my wife of 53 years passed. Those quite profound lyrics are now a foundation stone in my journey.
good for you.
I’ve watched and listen to Bob Dylan since 63 he help shape the way I thought about life I’m 73 now and I still find him insperational!
He just gave an era a voice...
So true sir.there is only of a kind like him.only one in billions.a Shakespeare in another way.
I’m 17 loving this
I'm 72 and listened to Dylan since 65. There are no such songs today needed so desperately.
very very cool.
Its what makes him unique
This song just reaches down and grabs your soul.
50 years later and I'm still in awe of this man's vision and genius.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
Well said.
On the eve of your 80th and my 70th, I turn to you Mr. Dylan... and this song to share with those coming behind us. Thank you for everything and best wishes....
Happy Birthday Deep soul. 🌻
I just listened to this song for the first time! I am 62. My soul is now forever changed! 💜
The rain is truth. Truth is. It pounds eternal. Evolution has no boundaries.
Listening to Bob Dylan feels like coming home
I love this song's chord shifts, patient pacing, and visual metaphors.
By far the greatest poet of our time
We played his songs in vietnam never forget how it kept us going
God would I love to hear those stories.
We need them now just as much.
This might be more relevant now than it was 60 years ago
That's how much of Bob Dylan's music is. Truly timeless, adapting itself to the stories of each generation.
So many of his lyrics seem to apply to big events that happen and then become history, and/or to pivotal events in your life that only you (or maybe one or two other people) know about. Crazy.
Yup
And it might be even more relevant about a year from now (given the results of the 2024 election - Good God America).
Nobel prize in literature ~ 2016 . Congratulations my blue eyed Son !!!!
Mr. Bob Dylan 💫

You either listen to Dylan & hear & connect with his poetry put into lyrics or you hate him. Doesn't seem to be any in betweens. I buried my father to two of his songs, named my 1st son after him and can listen to 72 of Dylan's greatests without skipping a song so i hear him, get him & truely love him.
I listen to him mainly for the melodies (not joking).
I am so with you on your comment. I to hear him, get him and love him. He is truly incredible and gifted. I always have thought that he had and has Angelic backup. His lyrics Flo on and on and on like an inexhaustible Fountain of inspiration.
I disagree. I love some of his songs whilst others I think are boring with not much melody. This is just perfection in song writing though in my view.
List these songs, I urge you. ;)

This is the best folk album of all time. Easy.
Hands Down Easy.
Greatest poet, in history
Jesus loves Bob's songs.
Bob is a Satanist and admits to selling his soul to the "commander and chief of this world". Don't be a fool.
Bob probably is Jesus❤
Yeah, because Jesus is a story. Groovy 😮
