G In the lonely night Em In the blinking stardust of a pale blue light Am7 You're comin' thru to me in black and white C Cm G When we were made of dreams. You're blowing down the shaky street, You're hearing my heart beat In the record breaking heat Where we were born in time. Bridge: G D Not one more night, not one more kiss, C G/b Not this time baby, no more of this. G D Takes too much skill, takes too much will. G It's too revealing. G D You came, you saw, just like the law C G/b You married young, just like your ma, G Am You tried and tried, you made me slide D You left me reelin' G/b C with this feelin'. On the rising curve Where the ways of nature will test every nerve, You won't get anything you don't deserve Where we were born in time. Bridge: You pressed me once, you pressed me twice, You hang the flame, you'll pay the price. Oh babe, that fire Is still smokin'. You were snow, you were rain You were striped, you were plain, Oh babe, truer words Have not been spoken or broken. In the hills of mystery, In the foggy web of destiny, You can have what's left of me, Where we were born in time.

  • Get Ready for Bob Dylan's Set at ACL Fest with Our Dylan Primer You Might Wonder Which Bob Dylan You're Going to Hear at ACL; Here's Our Advice for Tuning In
    Get ready for Bob Dylan's set at ACL Fest with our Dylan primer You might wonder which Bob Dylan you're going to hear at ACL; here's our advice for tuning in By Thomas G. Palaima SPECIAL TO THE AMERICAN-STATESMAN http://www.austin360.com/news/content/music/stories/2007/09/0902dylan.html Sunday, September 02, 2007 "But me, I'm still on the road Headin' for another joint" - Bob Dylan, "Tangled Up in Blue" Bob Dylan is heading to Austin to close the ACL Festival on Sept. 16. Troubadour, blues songster, pop balladeer, old-timey minstrel, singer of gospel hymns and country and western tunes - and introduced in concerts now as "the man who forced folk into bed with rock" - Dylan and his evolving traveling band are in their 20th year of what his fans call the Never Ending Tour. If you are heading to the festival, you might wonder which Dylan you are going to hear. The straight answer is none and all of the above - and more. Forty-five years into his recording career and bearing down on 50 official albums, Dylan has mined virtually every American musical genre. His songwriting, singing and playing are always in the moment and full of experiment. Credited with writing more than 450 songs, Dylan has performed live at least that many songs by other artists. He has sung Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome Town," Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain," the Davis Sisters' No. 1 1953 country hit "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know," Hank Williams' "House of Gold," Woody Guthrie's "Deportees" and the White Stripes' "Ball and Biscuit." When Warren Zevon was dying of lung cancer, Dylan on tour sang moving versions of Zevon's "Mutineer" and "Accidentally Like a Martyr." One of Dylan's birthday gifts for Willie Nelson's Big Six-O was a pathos-laden rendering of Stephen Foster's "Hard Times." No wonder that in his first major film, Dylan played a character named Alias ("Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid").

  • Amerindian Roots of Bob Dylan's Poetry
    Oral Tradition, 22/1 (2007): 134-150 Amerindian Roots of Bob Dylan’s Poetry Emmanuel Désveaux (Trans. from French by Valerie Burling) Bob Dylan is a recognized author whose sources of inspiration have already given rise to several studies, the most monumental surely being Dylan’s Visions of Sin by Christopher Ricks (2003). According to Ricks, Dylan’s sources can de found in the Bible and in the Anglo-American literary corpus, in writers ranging from Shakespeare to T. S. Eliot and including Milton and Yeats. Such cultural self-centeredness could seem surprising to a French reader to whom other names immediately spring to mind, such as Baudelaire (Dylan is a skillful inventor of oxymorons, a prominent element in Les Fleurs du Mal), Verlaine, and Lautréamont, especially in his early period. Moreover, Bob Dylan’s inspiration is by no means restricted to the tradition referred to by Ricks, even if it is enlarged to take in the broad spectrum of Western literatures in their entirety. Robert Zimmerman, a Northerner, is indeed fascinated by the Old South. And this very fact quite naturally explains the important place assigned in his work—and one that he readily acknowledges—to the Afro-American heritage. It is our intention here to bring to light another source of inspiration, the cultural tradition of Amerindians. Such an approach may seem far-fetched in that, at first sight, Indians are strikingly absent from Dylan’s corpus. Only on rare occasions are they mentioned explicitly: in the title of the instrumental “Wigwam,”1 for example, or in the expression “broken treaties”2 that is so hackneyed in the United States that it has become almost inoffensive.

  • Bob Dylan's 'Highlands' – Lyric Analysis by Kees De Graaf
    Bob Dylan’s ‘Highlands’ – Lyric analysis by Kees de Graaf 1. Introduction. ‘Highlands’ is one of Dylan’s masterpieces, recorded in 1997 for the album ‘Time out of Mind’. The main theme of the album ‘Time Out of Mind’’ is movement. On the album the poet is constantly on the move to some destination. A destination which is sometimes undefined: ’I’m walking through the summer nights, the jukebox playing low’; ‘I’m walking through the middle of nowhere’. Sometimes this destination is more defined: ‘I’m trying to get to heaven’ or ‘’My heart’s in the Highlands’. It is all about movement. The album starts with ‘Love Sick’’:’’ I’m walking though streets that are dead’. The album ends when the poet has finally reaches his destination in the Highlands: I’m already there in my mind’. Physically he is still on his way, he is still in the flesh, but his mind is already in the Highlands, the place where he belongs, the only place left to go. The song is in some sort of a way related to ‘Trying to get to Heaven’. There can be no doubt that ‘Highlands’ is a metaphor for heaven. Whereas in ‘Trying to get to heaven’ the poet is trying to deal with the troubles and woes of his wretched existence on earth – walking that lonesome valley, feeling bad – and only tries to reach heaven as an ultimate consolation, in ‘Highlands’ however, there is a much more positive notion. In ‘Highlands’ the poet is equally dissatisfied with his earthly existence but the prospect of his forthcoming life in the Highlands makes the song much more joyful and complacent.

  • Bob Dylan's “High Water (For Charley Patton)”
    Bob Dylan’s “High Water (for Charley Patton)” – an analysis by Kees de Graaf- This song from the album “Love and Theft” (2001) is a typically Dylanesque song and without any doubt a masterpiece. The song – in its apocalyptic menace- is closely tied to another masterpiece on the same album: “Mississippi”. One could also say that “High Water” ” is Dylan’s late-career new-millennium equivalent of “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall”. The flood overwhelms doomed people, and there is no help as the structure of society breaks down like in the days of Noah’s great flood. Although “High Water” is vividly metaphorical and full of apocalyptic conceit, it focuses on the story of the great Mississippi Flood of 1927. This devastating flood caused death and widespread destruction throughout the lower Mississippi Valley, from Arkansas to Louisiana, from Cairo, Ill., to the Gulf of Mexico. The number of casualties is not known exactly. Historians estimated the death toll at about 250 victims, but deaths due to the following disease and exposure were estimated to exceed 1,000 deaths. The Flood of 1927 affected an area of 27,000 square miles, about the size of all the New England states combined. The song is full of references to old blues songs and although it focuses on the Great Flood of 1927, it is not entirely restricted to that era, as we will outline below. Dylan was not the only one who composed a song dealing with this catastrophe. In terms of music the flood aroused a hype which produced a lot of songs depicting the tragedy and, as may be expected, most of these songs had their roots in the blues.
