  • I know that neither of them had anything really just seemed to me that the result was good. And well it seemed important to me that this song had a video.
    Later note:
    This is made from the point of view of a 15-year-old girl who loved (and still loves) Françoise Hardy. I was going through a hard time in my life and I thought I found support in Dylan's words that everything was going to be okay despite my sadness. At that time I didn't know as much as I do now and I really didn't want to romanticize the relationship of these two musicians.

    Françoise Hardy is a French singer-songwriter. She made her musical debut in the early 1960s on Disques Vogue. As a leading figure of the yé-yé movement, Hardy "found herself at the very forefront of the French music scene", and became "France's most exportable female singing star".
    "To Ramona" is a folk waltz written by Bob Dylan for his fourth studio album, Another Side of Bob Dylan. The melody is taken from traditional Mexican folk music. "To Ramona" is also a nod to Rex Griffin's 1937 song "The Last Letter". The song is one of several on the album to highlight the more personal and less political side of Dylan's songwriting that would become more prominent in the future.
    When Bob wrote poems for the back of Another Side of Bob Dylan, there was one dedicated to Françoise Hardy (at the Seine edge...)
    Ramona, come closer
    Shut softly your watery eyes
    The pangs of your sadness
    Will pass as your senses will rise
    For the flowers of the city
    Though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes
    And there's no use in tryin'
    To deal with the dyin'
    Though I cannot explain that in lines
    Your cracked country lips
    I still wish to kiss
    As to be under the strength of your skin
    Your magnetic movements
    Still capture the minutes I'm in
    But it grieves my heart, love
    To see you tryin' to be a part of
    A world that just don't exist
    It's all just a dream, babe
    A vacuum, a scheme, babe
    That sucks you into feelin' like this
    I can see that your head
    Has been twisted and fed
    With worthless foam from the mouth
    I can tell you are torn
    Between stayin' and returnin'
    Back to the South
    You've been fooled into thinking
    That the finishin' end is at hand
    Yet there's no one to beat you
    No one t' defeat you
    'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad
    I've heard you say many times
    That you're better than no one
    And no one is better than you
    If you really believe that
    You know you have
    Nothing to win and nothing to lose
    From fixtures and forces and friends
    Your sorrow does stem
    That hype you and type you
    Making you feel
    That you gotta be exactly like them
    I'd forever talk to you
    But soon my words
    Would turn into a meaningless ring
    For deep in my heart
    I know there is no help I can bring
    Everything passes
    Everything changes
    Just do what you think you should do
    And someday maybe
    Who knows, baby
    I'll come and be cryin' to you
    Bob Dylan

    Françoise's explanations : just a platonic story, they were fans of each other and Dylan just felt in love with a photo. They met once after a Bob's concert in 1966 at Paris. :

      Not just platonic, it was said he wrote love letters to her but she didn't find out about them till many years later and she found them stirring.

    Did’t know this nice song of Dylan, my favorite LP is Blood on the tracks, I listened to it for 50 years, ans still cry and love it. Bravo for this little film of beautiful Françoise Hardy, never saw it, and this is rare because on french TV, they regularly do emissions on her.

    She said that Dylan had her come backstage to meet her and he played 'I Want You' and 'Just Like a Woman' for her. Not very subtle lol.

      She didn't speak English, only barely so she didn't realize he was trying to flirt with her 😂

    Sublime a song and so fine on my mouth harp in D ! And ten years younger than, as a boy I was complety smashed via radio pop magazine and 45 tour vinyls by la Déesse Francaise Francoise Hardy. I have no problem to assume - as I once read - that Dylan had a crushingly week spot for her... MeToo.. YouToo

    Am I wrong today to be a straight male and admire her womanly beauty?... And admit it in print?
    She's my idea of glamour and grace...

    Francois was an extraordinary looking woman. I think i detected a little bit of accordian sound in Bob's harmonica playing. Nice idea, if it was deliberate.

    "help I can bring" becomes "hell barking brain" .....I think I prefer the latter! The translator is a better poet than Bob. Bravo 👏👏👏

    Listen to Sinead Lowans cover and see and hear the difference, she aced it. Bob was a great song writer but his delivery is not so great.
