...How can one ever describe this? The look in her eyes says it all, the song fits so perfectly in her voice and expression I get lost in it... An amazing woman and artist, thank you Joan for this work of art
Marvellous!!!! I love her voice control, and notice how she seems to hardly open her mouth and yet every word is crystal clear, present day singers take a lesson from this woman.
in 1969 i had in my hand a 45 rpm vinyl record with covers songs of " Eloise, boom bang bang, eleonore, and where do you go to my lovely, 4 songs squeezed in a 45rpm, does any one out there remember this record? I am talking 1969. more than, or better yet almost 50 years ago,if some one has it I will buy it from you, or if some one can tell me ,.where I can get this record I trully appreciate it, is for nostalgic reason
Amazing lady and individual who fought with a political purpose for a better humanity in America, I'm blessed to have the original vinyl of Baez sings Dylan, I'd of ran away with her beautiful woman
Go 'way from my window Leave at your own chosen speed I'm not the one you want, babe I'm not the one you need You say you're lookin' for someone Never weak but always strong To protect you an' defend you Whether you are right or wrong Someone to open each and every door But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me, babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe Go lightly from the ledge, babe Go lightly on the ground I'm not the one you want, babe I will only let you down You say you're lookin' for someone Who will promise never to part Someone to close his eyes for you Someone to close his heart Someone who will die for you an' more But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me, babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe Go melt back into the night, babe Everything inside is made of stone There's nothing in here moving An' anyway I'm not alone You say you're looking for someone Who'll pick you up each time you fall To gather flowers constantly An' to come each time you call A lover for your life an' nothing more But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me, babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
I think it's an absolutely incredible cover, by the way.. her eyes are so haunting. I find it more moving then Dylan's version, but I think maybe that's because when he sings it, it's almost scathing.
She is a powerful and beautiful singer. The lyrics and music are inspired. But looking back at the meaning after all these years I can see what a sad song this is. A tale of someone who will not give themselves totally to a lover but who always holds back. If I had lived out the philosophy of the song these last 45 years, I would have had a terrible life. This is brilliant art but I am happy I took a different path than the one described here.
@gregorymwishart i under stand and i agree with you completely, there is still music like this out there. it's just that it isn't as out in the open as it used to be, it's underground now and it just makes me wonder why music as beautiful as this isn't as celebrated as it was in the past.
Oh, por favor... Me he enamorado por completo de esta versión de Joan, me gusta mucho Bob Dylan, pero ésta es la primera vez que sé de ella... Y su voz... SU VOZ
@gstromquist exactly :) i'm in high school and i've become so aware of how technology has affected my generation's tast in music. i feel like if something isn't instantly a gigantic production, they become impatient and don't bother to take the time to let the message of a song soak in or appreciate or realize that actual people are creating art with sound.
As a Reaganite I've never agreed with her politically but I have to admit there is something about her voice and appearance that is transfixing. She is an American treasure and icon of the sixties. I find her rendition of this song to be so sincere it scary.
What a lovely cover. Arrangement-wise, this is quite a lot like the version Dylan played live himself in the 1990s (which I've never managed to find a recording of) - though her mellifluous voice obviously transforms it. I think I like this quite a lot better than Dylan's original album recording.
@jimaroo100 i think more than holding back...its about someone who can stand fully on their own, a soul on a journey, more about dependency and independency, about letting the other person know, that you might not be there forever, for nothing is set in stone, and also, that you're not there to solve all their troubles, its nice to share battles sometimes, but if you share them all, you only create a crutch, ending up never standing fully on you own.
You see, my friend, the irony is.....I gave all of myself.... but I didn't lose, I gained myself . he who loses himself will find himself...he who dies to himself will live... I made a decision to give my wife all of me..... and she did the same...and the exquisite beauty is that I found myself in her.... oh well I am not poet enough to describe it. But it has been a beautiful life.
@TheEpicMusicChannel i think maybe she was being a little playful with the protest song comment. but it's a protest song in the sense that it's pushing away the idea of a conventional marriage.. i guess there was just no particular movement to attach it to. i love dylans songs so much more when joan sings them lol.
I GOT VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE NEW CRAP BEING PLAYED ON THE RADIO THESE DAYS AND THOUGHT I WOULD LISTEN TO SOME OF THE OLDER ARTISTS AND MUSIC FROM THE 60' AND 70's, IS IT JUST ME OR DID THE ARTISTS IN THOSE DAYS PUT MORE FEELING AND HEART INTO THERE MUSIC...... JOAN BAEZ, BOB DYLAN, JOHN DENVER AND SO MANY OTHERS..... PEACE

No one emotes like Joan. And hearing her sing this, seeing her eyes, we all know who she’s thinking about. Damn, Bob. You broke her heart.
...How can one ever describe this? The look in her eyes says it all, the song fits so perfectly in her voice and expression I get lost in it... An amazing woman and artist, thank you Joan for this work of art
Purely genuine singer. Hand me a tissue.
I don't think I've ever loved a musicians voice as much as hers
This song and this live version specifically makes me weep everytime I hear it. Joan is such a beautiful singer, transcendental
Marvellous!!!! I love her voice control, and notice how she seems to hardly open her mouth and yet every word is crystal clear, present day singers take a lesson from this woman.
No words can describe the wonder and greatness of you joan baez
in 1969 i had in my hand a 45 rpm vinyl record with covers songs of " Eloise, boom bang bang, eleonore, and where do you go to my lovely, 4 songs squeezed in a 45rpm, does any one out there remember this record?

Dylan and many others always said what a good guitarist she was, and it's true, absolutely brilliant.
That voice.. Those eyes.. impossible to ignore!
Being young, I discovered this via repeats at the start of the 1990s and it's something I still find myself singing today.
What an angel, just love her! and such a delicate, beautifull voice!
Amazing lady and individual who fought with a political purpose for a better humanity in America, I'm blessed to have the original vinyl of Baez sings Dylan, I'd of ran away with her beautiful woman
Go 'way from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you an' more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
Go melt back into the night, babe
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call
A lover for your life an' nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
I think it's an absolutely incredible cover, by the way.. her eyes are so haunting. I find it more moving then Dylan's version, but I think maybe that's because when he sings it, it's almost scathing.
What a jewel of a performance- superb talent and an exquisite delivery!
She is a powerful and beautiful singer. The lyrics and music are inspired.

I fucking love this girl.. Crying, yo. I love you too, Joan Baez.
A voice that still chills me with a great song.
I know that this is a cover but my God her voice it is so beautiful.What a talented women.
"The Sweet Music Of Our Lives"
The greatest female voice of all time, imho, none can touch her.
In love with her voice, with her flawless beauty and with her deep eyes.
Dylan to write this song and Joan Baez to sing it was a musical match made in heaven.
beautiful voice and she is so detached from song yet so into it....kind of send sends a chill at the same time ...lovely presentation.
i can't get over the beauty of this song sang in this voice.
Those words and that voice - wow!
Timeless.
gotta love joan baez' sarcasm: "this is a protest song ... " ..funny stuff
It wasn't sarcasm, the "babe" in the song is the American flag...
I love this women and all she stands for
I still love her.
Best cover of this song
she's incredible. A true original and beauty
angelic voice
so beautiful, it actually took me aback a little
damn this version is jus too good........been many yrs n still lisning this ......thnx youtube :D
omg I melt....she has such a beautiful voice
Man Joan baez was a hottie
you are an idiot
A voice that simply defies description.
It is sweet and so sober...
Just beautiful
She’s a real one.
love her
Eu retorno a essa música periodicamente, a cada coração partido...
Wow 😱 amazing voice!
Joan rules!
Spectacular.
She's so good
Maravillosas canciones que nos llevan a ootros tiempos llenos de ilusiones y esperanzas
Exquisite.
what on earth happened to music like this?
this ist a relentless good song!
so beautiful.
Beauty and talent.
@gregorymwishart i under stand and i agree with you completely, there is still music like this out there. it's just that it isn't as out in the open as it used to be, it's underground now and it just makes me wonder why music as beautiful as this isn't as celebrated as it was in the past.
Stupenda Joan..la sua voce una magia che si manifesta nota dopo nota..
its really soothing
What a beautiful woman.
Love you JoanThanks for your words that have relevance through time.
chills
Oh, por favor... Me he enamorado por completo de esta versión de Joan, me gusta mucho Bob Dylan, pero ésta es la primera vez que sé de ella... Y su voz... SU VOZ
She's breaking my heart
Always & ALL-WAYS AWESOME!
She was goddess
so many chills
JOAN BAEZ ,,, FOREVER

her voice and lyrics speaks volumes. message ends.
She is Brilliant!
@vanvlishter i think you need a hug. that's how i feel since i broke up. can't stop listening to this song since.
As a Reaganite I've never agreed with her politically but I have to admit there is something about her voice and appearance that is transfixing. She is an American treasure and icon of the sixties. I find her rendition of this song to be so sincere it scary.
Love It.

FAB.
Amazing! :)
@TheEpicMusicChannel Exactly! This song was written about her.
she was as talented as anyone I ever saw any comments?
@TheEpicMusicChannel
Its a protest song in that she says "I suppose I'm anti-marriage" Not your typical "love" song.
Essential....
I love my dog.
La voz femenina más hermosa del mundo!
@MrPsychoSquid We're all still listening to it. :-)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
@luanawantsacake soo true girl, thanks, and great taste on music too (:
@jimaroo100 i think more than holding back...its about someone who can stand fully on their own, a soul on a journey, more about dependency and independency, about letting the other person know, that you might not be there forever, for nothing is set in stone, and also, that you're not there to solve all their troubles, its nice to share battles sometimes, but if you share them all, you only create a crutch, ending up never standing fully on you own.
I wonder if she is still against marriage or not. Because true wisdom comes with the age.
I support marriage 100%! So sad that so many do not understand what real love is.
I want her.
Joan looked like the identical twin of my mother, both in young and older age :)
You see, my friend, the irony is.....I gave all of myself.... but I didn't lose, I gained myself . he who loses himself will find himself...he who dies to himself will live... I made a decision to give my wife all of me..... and she did the same...and the exquisite beauty is that I found myself in her.... oh well I am not poet enough to describe it. But it has been a beautiful life.
Song reminds me of Jim Croce's "Lovers Cross"
Your explanation about the song as a protest is great, however I love your version and rendering than Bob's.
Harsha Vardhana.
1:36-2:00 my favorite part
@nara2432 absolutely!
Dedicated to all the women whom ever have been stalked.
A Dylan song, but I love it way more with her. Funny that i'ts probably written about Joan.
@TheEpicMusicChannel i think maybe she was being a little playful with the protest song comment. but it's a protest song in the sense that it's pushing away the idea of a conventional marriage.. i guess there was just no particular movement to attach it to. i love dylans songs so much more when joan sings them lol.
@LuneyTune72 But the atmosphere captured by Dylan is balm to the soul.
farwell my love

There she goes with Bob again. She can never forget him. Still in love.
Frank L this was like two years after they dated.
@@drinkingpoolwater it was the same year they broke up I think
But it ain't me, babe.
