One of my indispensable loves... I'm glad you existed in this world and left an indelible mark on our hearts. We love you and your brave heart, Joan Baez! With my best wishes... 🌹
I missed the 60's. I was in the army 12/65-12/68. I served a year in Korea and a year in Viet Nam. It took me a few years to readjust from my army ways and by then, it was 1972. I grew my hair longer but still did not appreciate how great the 60's were and the fact they could never be duplicated. Now, I am a retired, 63 year old hippie, bicycle rider, weightlifter, jogger who is just loving and enjoying life. With this computer I have been able to find most of the songs that I have been humming
This song is such a masterpiece. Her voice, her lyrics, and her guitar playing. Flawless. And she does the best Bob Dylan impression on Simple Twist of Fate.
Love, sad, happy, joyous, regretful, all consuming, distant and aloof and all its many perceptions. Joans is one of the most all encompassing Ive ever heard and its an honor to hear her sing about it. Thank you Joan, for a song that weathers the test of time.
I feel in love with a blue eyed guy back in 1989 when I was just 22 he was 29 and this song so fits. I was so in love with him and then he just up and moved away but would still call me sometimes. I was hearbroken for years.
merci madame baez, je suis francais et cela fait bien des années que vous illuminez mes jours, bons ou moroses de votre voix et de votre si grand talent des milliers de fois merci
Thank you, Joan, for this painfully emotive song that makes me SO glad I escaped an abusive relationship when I was only 21. Blissfully sad and joyous at the same time. 1st love ….
Madame Baez, c'est quelqu'un. Fille de prof au MIT, elle partage sa vie avec Dylan et est présente dans toutes les luttes de libération. Chapeau ! Une femme merveilleusement intelligente, courageuse, et belle, ce qui ne gâche rien. Une icône de nos jeunesses passées et à venir. Quelle voix !
Thank you for the complliment. Geez, I haven't even been on a date in over a year. Looking at some of these posts brings back memories. I live in Jersey City right across the river from the Village. My friends and I went over there most nights when we were in our teens and drank at Whitey's, Frizzio's, which were both next to the Waverly Theater and our favorite sausage sandwich place was just around the corner. It was heaven. However, times have changed and nowhere can you now find sausage..eom
Joan's voice still cuts like a knife in this song....very beautiful, bittersweet account of something that obviously hurt her very much, but out of it came this haunting classic....
First time I've heard this- I've been listening to Judas Priest's cover of this for many years now and thought it was their song. This is a very moving song; nice. Great voice!
"My poetry is lousy you’ve said", oh Lord, that's the way, the two masters of lyrics talked to each other... Somehow this song seems to be a document of a love, that could and maybe should have merged two charismatic personalities, but obviously was more inspiring in it's failure. Thank you for sharing this great song together with these well selected pictures !
I grew up listening to my mother's music. I was born in '65, so I got the good stuff. For some reason, the sadder, more haunting stuff has become my favorite. This is absolutely one of my favorites.
Jordan Mcintyre dude if you don't like her you should probably go and listen to some music you do like instead of accosting her fans with your hate speach all because you are incapable of handling real emotion when you see it like a functionally Autistic Repiglican freak..This became her signature song because it seemed to bring closure to her 1960's romance with Bob Dylan that will always fascinate fans of either artist. Though it was Ironic that after that album she spent 2 of the next 3 years on tour with Dylan.but whatever it's not your business or your thing so just go away.
without trying to decipher the meaning etc of this song I'd rather just try and enjoy it for what it is....a deeply moving, wonderfully written and sang with a voice that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
I alway knew this song covered by Judas Priest. Today I heard this version playing over the intercom at wal mart. So I just had to look it up. This is just awesome. Wish I would have known sooner. I have discovered Joan Baez. Thank you God!!!
I wouldn't say that this inspiration is his greatest merit. Nice song though. Bob also passed on some very pretty songs to Joan such as Farewell Angelina and Love is Just a Four Letter Word. Granted, Dylan isn't a saint.
@@robertflint2549, Bob didn't pass any songs to Joan. She confessed that she stole some songs that Bob wrote with some planks in water and he forgot them. He knows it too.
Read Camille Paglia on the parallel between Mozart and Jack the Ripper. Great artists have a socio-pathic element in their nature; unable to identify with ordinary life, they lust for extremes wherein the closed fist phenomenon blocks out all peripheral matter, as in humanity. The mystic pursues his path at great cost.
***** but according to Adler, creativity is a compensatory act. anyway, Dylan probably did have a hint of socio-pathology in his nature, because eschewing an ordinary life is somewhat sociopathic(he used arguably the peace movement to climb aboard the good ship commerce). Artists view mere survival as death and that can't be quite healthy; to judge others by what they can create, which is what writers do. Remember, every pathology exists on a scale from one to a hundred. I think for example, in this age, there are many many people who are subtly autistic, or devoid of empathy in certain contexts. And many Americans are emotionally simple, despite being reasonably intelligent, for the two often don't correlate. Americans, if you'll permit me further generalization, tend toward false dichotomy, either all this or all that, seeing themselves as part of God's exclusive plan, despite the native American near genocide and the Black enslavement, upon which this country was built.
cobalt jones Life as you,I, and anyone else know it would be extremely boring if all we did was survive. Why is reaching out for something better a sign of mental illness? That is thinking that belongs in the Dark Ages not in the Twenty-first century.
***** every artist capable of bringing forth a new portrait of human nature, which is what visionaries do, wields a violence against the status quo, this being the dark side of creativity. Beethoven's late quartets would've destroyed the staid music of the period and were therefore rejected. It wasn't that people couldn't understand them, it was that they wouldn't revise their sense of the range of human nature. When I talk about what you call mental illness. I am speaking about a special oscillation between sanity and insanity. Within this fluctuation lies the seed of synthesis and therefore new being-ness. " I will create in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of the race." Joyce. Pure mental illness doesn't create. It merely distorts in flurries of chaos. A true artist knows what the insane know, but can bring it back across a desert of chaos and give it form. Art makes translucent the walls within which we chamber our contradcitions, because artists are beset with pressing contradictions and periodically resolve them in works. The everyman can't see all of the disparate elements storming within his psyche simultaneously and this blindness enables him to function in the mundane utilitarian world of commerce, where he is brutally bought and sold, and numbed to the delicacies of subtle expression as a means of coping..Perhaps a more interesting question is why you're bothered by the creative necessity of pathology? The basic idea is that no one would choose to be an artist, because it is mostly a curse to battle with that level of interior chaos. In fact no one chooses. It chooses them. Read Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann, or The Magic Mountain. The recurring motif of much of his writing is pathology linked to fecundity. Why do you have a problem with it? As a parallel, consider what violence the state of pregnancy and the act of birth wields against the mother. Why would the abstract womb of art be any less violent to the artist?
cobalt jones You're right- for many passionate creative people, artists- famous or not, good or not- it's a fine line. I've known talented musicians defined as bipolar (manic depression anyone, sound familiar?) For many, mediocre living would be considered as stifling oneself to death.
Today I woke up to this song when I was taking a nap. It was so beautiful that I had to get up and go to my kitchen to hear the rest of the song. I had never heard it before, but I just knew it had to be Joan Baez who was singing :) Can't stop listening!
with Joan's voice and that guitar this may the best love song I"ve ever heard...wow....here's comes your ghost again...boy I've seen some ghosts of the past..
Your eyes bluer than Robin's eggs.. Original Vagabond...... Madonna was yours... Great words, singer & composition ....love it since 1976. Thank you MReineck !!!
By far her best and most beautiful song. Not strange, because Dylan has always been her great love. The fact that Dylan did ultmately choose for Sarah and not her for becoming his wife gave her deep emotional pain, resulting in this heartbreaking song
I really don't think that is true. Reading the memoir she wrote doesn't make it seem she was still heartbroken or that he was her "one great love." She certainly loved him at the time, but she moved on.
I don't think people truly realize that she is the original author of this song. "I like so-and-so's better" Well, those so-and-so's are all just covering her original work. And it's so emotional because she meant it to be, she was reflecting on her love for somebody. Just thought I'd share. I hate it when people look at an original song and say that covers are better.
Sometimes covers are better. Usually that happens when the cover reinvents the song and creates a feeling/message that rivals or surpasses that of the original. Hendrix's cover of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" would be a good example. However, this song is deeply personal, so it's very difficult to cover -- especially when you're a rock band. And I don't think I'd want to hear the myriad of so-called "artists" who claim this song "speaks" to them and pay "tribute" to it by performing it in a way that silences the voice.
This songs means more to me this week then ever before, 25 years ago, I had the love of my life, we broke up as he went into another relationship...out of the blue my 43 birthday, I get a card from him, and this song came into my mind about our relationship back then. Oh wow!!! I understand what Joan was singing about when out of the blue, Bob calls her after 10 years.
Baez wrote: “My suite had a picture window looking out on a huge maple tree. I lined up the couch pillows on the floor so that I could lie down and look directly into the leaves which were flipping gently like the pages of an abandoned book, their two sides of slightly different hues.”
I'm only in my 20s but I was brought up listening to Joan Baez and think she is just phenomenal. I saw her in Birmingham last year and her voice was just as incredible all these years later.
this chordal progression is marvelous and has been used beautifully by jewel in foolish games, elliott smith in between the bars, the cranberries in zombie, and pink floyd in time. it does much of your work for you if you can give a fresh spin
Love You Joan!!! You are So beautiful Always.You are an Angel from the Stars.You bring Special Divine Feelings through that Blessed voice of yours.May All beings be Happy! May everyone find the Pure true Love that is within.
"Diamonds & Rust" Well I'll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Well you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes the girl on the half-shell Would keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that crummy hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague Because I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid
Bu dünyaca ünlü ikili, fırtınalı ve uzatmalı bir aşk yaşamış ve o süre boyunca Joan, Bob'un etrafında adeta bir pervane olmuştur. Bob onun sanatını küçümsemiş ve bir İngiltere turunda, son anda kendisiyle beraber sahneye çıkmasını engelleyerek ilişkiyi sonlandırmıştır. Tam 44 yıl sonra Bob, Joan'a berbat davrandığını ve ayrılıkları için o zaman kötü hissettiğini belirtir özrümsü bir şeyler mırıldanmışsa da, bu aşktan geriye kalan, somurtkan bir adama hayran hayran bakan sıcacık tebessümlü bir kadının yüzü ve Bob için yazdığı muhteşem ''Diamonds and Rust'' isimli şarkısıdır.
Bob Dylan "Lay Lady Lay" tour was my first concert...I was 11 yrs old at the Omni in Atlanta.....mesermized I was....and to this day he is my all time favorite. This is my favorite Joan Baez!
My God, how could society have touched upon such depth, only to numb out into our current zombie army of materialists? Oh God, please open the soul of humanity again, and let the gold flow, molten and profoundly violent in the sense of interior revision and rebirth. Let us trade physical violence and greed and fear for the re-sculpturing of divine consciousness.
Gledi Culiqi thank you. I know there are others who don't accept this materialistic death. I hope life goes well for you, Brother or Sister, whichever the case may be.
My Buddhist friend Jim , is also a big Bob Dylan fan . When I recounted to him a RUclips video based on a song of Dylan 's about a lovers quarrel , he remembered this song about the relationship between Joan Baez and Bob Dylan . He remembered it as " Dust And Rust " . When I looked up the song using Joan Baez ' s name , I found it ! What a wonderful recording ! It was worth the effort !
I heard this song last night on an oldies channel playing a top 40 list from back in 75? - this song was on the list, it blew me away by the beauty of the melody and Joan's voice but didn't have enough time to catch all the lyrics - what an amazing song - I usually like things that a more upbeat but when a song catches the emotions so clearly it is worth sharing - thanks!
well i'll be damned here comes your ghost again but that's not unusual it's just that the moon is full and you happened to call and here i sit hand on the telephone hearing a voice i'd known a couple of light years ago heading straight for a fall as i remember your eyes were bluer than robin's eggs my poetry was lousy you said where are you calling from? a booth in the midwest ten years ago i bought you some cufflinks you brought me something we both know what memories can bring they bring diamonds and rust well you burst on the scene already a legend the unwashed phenomenon the original vagabond you strayed into my arms and there you stayed temporarily lost at sea the madonna was yours for free yes the girl on the half-shell would keep you unharmed now i see you standing with brown leaves falling around and snow in your hair now you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over washington square our breath comes out white clouds mingles and hangs in the air speaking strictly for me we both could have died then and there now you're telling me you're not nostalgic then give me another word for it you who are so good with words and at keeping things vague because i need some of that vagueness now it's all come back too clearly yes i loved you dearly and if you're offering me diamonds and rust i've already paid
I absolutely get the same feeling...I don't think she ever got over him. I know I wouldn't. And by the way one of the greatest tribute love songs ever written, and what a beautiful lady she still is my God!
How in God's green earth I never heard this song is beyond me. I was raised on everything from CCR to Elvis to bluegrass and heard the cover of this song by Blackmore's Night and loved it and had to hear the original. I can say I absolutely love it. This definitely has opened a new door for me, thank you Joan!
Tú voz, tu alma y tu ser son diamantes regalados a este mundo, lleno de materialismo individualismo y mesquindad. Eres una mujer hermosa con espíritu maravilloso y te admiro mucho. Desde Chile.
Many years ago, I got to meet Joan , we walked barefoot in the surf. It was during the time of "Davids" fracas. Such a sweet person, just the most incredible voice. Irish
Cobalt Jones, what a good way to sum this up with feeling and soul. I was born in 1950 and I have watched our country go through many spasms. I fear that we have reached a point selfishness that is not recoverable.

What a beautiful woman. I have listened to her melodies since I was born.
JONATHAN Kleck. I listen to a lot of her stuff in these last years of my life after I got turned up
I miss those old days with phone booths and everything simpler. Glad i was there to experience it all.
I missed the 60's. I was in the army 12/65-12/68. I served a year in Korea and a year in Viet Nam. It took me a few years to readjust from my army ways and by then, it was 1972. I grew my hair longer but still did not appreciate how great the 60's were and the fact they could never be duplicated.

I keep returning to listen to this piece of poignant nostalgia but many times. Beautiful!
Hearing Joan Baez saying "I love you dearly" is probably the most beautiful sound a man can hear.
and 'I loved you dearly', the worst.
Absolutely..she is so beautiful! Charlie O'B
It’s I “loved” you dearly! Now it’s contempt!
One of the most beautiful songs, and melody I have ever heard.
One of the most beautiful song I ever heard, in the voice of an angel!
צודק לחלוטין
"Well, I'll be damned - Here comes your ghost again" Perhaps one of the greatest opening lines of any song ever written.
Absolutely!
Yes, me too, I thought so. She tells it like it is! Love her.
Yes, back in the days when women weren't supposed to swear or be angry about anything!!! Powerful song.🤐
This song is such a masterpiece. Her voice, her lyrics, and her guitar playing. Flawless. And she does the best Bob Dylan impression on Simple Twist of Fate.
micah brew I'm agree with you. All song and each detail in this is perfect. Greetings from Chile.
I'm sitting here, chills literally going up and down my spine, what a haunting voice!
Love, sad, happy, joyous, regretful, all consuming, distant and aloof and all its many perceptions. Joans is one of the most all encompassing Ive ever heard and its an honor to hear her sing about it.
Thank you Joan, for a song that weathers the test of time.
Love your beautiful song❤
I feel in love with a blue eyed guy back in 1989 when I was just 22 he was 29 and this song so fits. I was so in love with him and then he just up and moved away but would still call me sometimes. I was hearbroken for years.

Beautiful song by Joan - I saw them together in Concert in SLC Ut. in 76 - best Concert of my life - never forget it, they are legends....
Toujours aussi magnifique malgré les années qui passent....
One the best songs ever written.......only Joan Baez
Thank you, Joan, for this painfully emotive song that makes me SO glad I escaped an abusive relationship when I was only 21. Blissfully sad and joyous at the same time. 1st love ….
wonderful, pure voice.
Beautiful and Great song!
This is the original version and it's still as beautiful today as it was in 1975. Unbeatable. This a great song you wrote, Ms Baez!!
One of the best love songs ever for me...

First time I've heard this- I've been listening to Judas Priest's cover of this for many years now and thought it was their song. This is a very moving song; nice. Great voice!
Oh wow must listen too
I remember that time when we were young and everything seemed possible.
oh, joanie ye can still tear at me; 'eart and your nostalgia sweeps me back to the days when I, too was a folkie( long time passin')
My mom used to play this song when I was a child. It broke my hear then..
Me too

This song is a classic, beautifully written and sung. Thank you for posting.
Folk song! This! She is world known. Folk songs are locally known!

without trying to decipher the meaning etc of this song I'd rather just try and enjoy it for what it is....a deeply moving, wonderfully written and sang with a voice that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Love this song by Joan Baez, Diamonds And Rust". Such a uniquely beautiful voice. Haunting ethereal music 🎵🎶
Thanks for this. I'd forgotten how much I like this song.

It’s a beautiful song.
it is

Bob Dylan has earned a lot of merit in his life, but the greatest of his merits has been to have inspired "Diamonds and Rust". This song!

quelle chanson magnifique interprétée par une artiste aussi talentueuse que généreuse !
I've always thought this song had a haunting quality, but the slideshow broke my heart. Very nice job.
Beautiful lady, beautiful song. !
I have just now discovered this song (from the French movie "Frères"), and, wow, how totally amazing. Incredible lyrics! Thank you, Joan!
By far her best and most beautiful song. Not strange, because Dylan has always been her great love. The fact that Dylan did ultmately choose for Sarah and not her for becoming his wife gave her deep emotional pain, resulting in this heartbreaking song
I really don't think that is true. Reading the memoir she wrote doesn't make it seem she was still heartbroken or that he was her "one great love." She certainly loved him at the time, but she moved on.
I concur !
darlincommitme Really, especially since Joan is bi.
Nice contribution. Thank you for that. And yes, her most beautiful, if not one of the most beautiful of the genre and era.
I would add "Jesse" as another of one of her most poignant and deep soulfull songs!
I think I was about 18 or 19 at the time Joan and Bob blew our minds away. Cheers, my dearest!
She is fierce, always been.
Wish we heard this voice more often
I don't think people truly realize that she is the original author of this song. "I like so-and-so's better" Well, those so-and-so's are all just covering her original work. And it's so emotional because she meant it to be, she was reflecting on her love for somebody. Just thought I'd share. I hate it when people look at an original song and say that covers are better.
sometimes covers are better. Ever here the original "Rusty Cage" compared to johnny cash's version?
Sometimes the covers ARE better. But this one is truly hard to top.
Sometimes covers are better. Usually that happens when the cover reinvents the song and creates a feeling/message that rivals or surpasses that of the original. Hendrix's cover of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" would be a good example. However, this song is deeply personal, so it's very difficult to cover -- especially when you're a rock band. And I don't think I'd want to hear the myriad of so-called "artists" who claim this song "speaks" to them and pay "tribute" to it by performing it in a way that silences the voice.
Sometimes covers are better. I'm jumping on this bandwagon.

This songs means more to me this week then ever before, 25 years ago, I had the love of my life, we broke up as he went into another relationship...out of the blue my 43 birthday, I get a card from him, and this song came into my mind about our relationship back then. Oh wow!!! I understand what Joan was singing about when out of the blue, Bob calls her after 10 years.
Baez wrote: “My suite had a picture window looking out on a huge maple tree. I lined up the couch pillows on the floor so that I could lie down and look directly into the leaves which were flipping gently like the pages of an abandoned book, their two sides of slightly different hues.”
cuantos años, cuantos años y aun a mis 78 me emociona igual que la primera vez que la escuche....gracias Joan dondequiera que tu estes.
One superb video! Great song! Good images! FIRST CLASS!
Thanks for offering this up!
I heard her sing this live in 1975 in Providence, RI...I thought this song and her voice were so beautiful that I broke out into spontaneous tears....
singing with heart
I can cry all night long with this song!! Cause here comes your ghost again....but thats not unusual anyway....!!
I'm only in my 20s but I was brought up listening to Joan Baez and think she is just phenomenal. I saw her in Birmingham last year and her voice was just as incredible all these years later.
This song by Joan Baez is played nearly 250 times on my iPhone in about 40 days time or so!!! Its the best version I've heard.
this chordal progression is marvelous and has been used beautifully by jewel in foolish games, elliott smith in between the bars, the cranberries in zombie, and pink floyd in time. it does much of your work for you if you can give a fresh spin
...the unwashed phenomenon...the original vagabond..:)
Excellent compilation of images for this classic song...thanks for sharing :)
Came here for a good track to setup car audio (recommended) Stayed till the end and forgot what I was doing haha
Love You Joan!!! You are So beautiful Always.You are an Angel from the Stars.You bring Special Divine Feelings through that Blessed voice of yours.May All beings be Happy! May everyone find the Pure true Love that is within.
"Diamonds & Rust"
Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there
Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
Thank. You!
That was fabulous. Great song, great images!
Bu dünyaca ünlü ikili, fırtınalı ve uzatmalı bir aşk yaşamış ve o süre boyunca Joan, Bob'un etrafında adeta bir pervane olmuştur.
Bob onun sanatını küçümsemiş ve bir İngiltere turunda, son anda kendisiyle beraber sahneye çıkmasını engelleyerek ilişkiyi sonlandırmıştır.
Tam 44 yıl sonra Bob, Joan'a berbat davrandığını ve ayrılıkları için o zaman kötü hissettiğini belirtir özrümsü bir şeyler mırıldanmışsa da, bu aşktan geriye kalan, somurtkan bir adama hayran hayran bakan sıcacık tebessümlü bir kadının yüzü ve Bob için yazdığı muhteşem ''Diamonds and Rust'' isimli şarkısıdır.
Bob Dylan "Lay Lady Lay" tour was my first concert...I was 11 yrs old at the Omni in Atlanta.....mesermized I was....and to this day he is my all time favorite. This is my favorite Joan Baez!
My God, how could society have touched upon such depth, only to numb out into our current zombie army of materialists? Oh God, please open the soul of humanity again, and let the gold flow, molten and profoundly violent in the sense of interior revision and rebirth. Let us trade physical violence and greed and fear for the re-sculpturing of divine consciousness.
Great way to put it. I just wanted u to know that you are not alone in the search of fellow researchers of divine consciousness

thank you. I know there are others who don't accept this materialistic death. I hope life goes well for you, Brother or Sister, whichever the case may be.
your poetry is lousy
where are you calling from?

My Buddhist friend Jim , is also a big Bob Dylan fan . When I recounted to
him a RUclips video based on a song of Dylan 's about a lovers quarrel , he
remembered this song about the relationship between Joan Baez and
Bob Dylan . He remembered it as " Dust And Rust " . When I looked
up the song using Joan Baez ' s name , I found it ! What a wonderful
recording ! It was worth the effort !
She meant every word. This is her Eulogy to Bob. It is sad. She is still in love.
Love Joan. She taught me how to sing as a young woman. Later, I sang/sing blues and Aretha!
Judas Priest's version of this is amazing
I heard this song last night on an oldies channel playing a top 40 list from back in 75? - this song was on the list, it blew me away by the beauty of the melody and Joan's voice but didn't have enough time to catch all the lyrics - what an amazing song - I usually like things that a more upbeat but when a song catches the emotions so clearly it is worth sharing - thanks!

I absolutely get the same feeling...I don't think she ever got over him. I know I wouldn't. And by the way one of the greatest tribute love songs ever written, and what a beautiful lady she still is my God!
shes singing about Bob Dylan :)
You think?!
really, we didn't know that 😂
How in God's green earth I never heard this song is beyond me. I was raised on everything from CCR to Elvis to bluegrass and heard the cover of this song by Blackmore's Night and loved it and had to hear the original. I can say I absolutely love it. This definitely has opened a new door for me, thank you Joan!
Diamonds and Lust -
Tú voz, tu alma y tu ser son diamantes regalados a este mundo, lleno de materialismo individualismo y mesquindad.
Eres una mujer hermosa con espíritu maravilloso y te admiro mucho. Desde Chile.
"Where are you calling from?
- a booth in the midwest."
BURN!
Never been hit but so much emotion just from listening to one song. I think i need therapy now. What a singer!

Many years ago, I got to meet Joan , we walked barefoot in the surf. It was during the time of "Davids" fracas. Such a sweet person, just the most incredible voice.

Cobalt Jones, what a good way to sum this up with feeling and soul. I was born in 1950 and I have watched our country go through many spasms. I fear that we have reached a point selfishness that is not recoverable.
