Bob Dylan

[Aimeht]

Do you listen to Bob Dylan? I think he's a great singer/songwriter. Time Out Of Mind is fantastic. I often play his songs on my guitar.

I love a bit of Bob Dylan - late in the evening when you just wanna relax, kick back and listen to some REALLY good lyrics.

My favourite BD song is called ISIS and is from the album that starts with Hurricane (cant remember wot its called).

Wish I had the talent to be able to write lyrics as meaningful as that!

[Dirty Bertie]

Make your own mind up, here are the lyrics to Isis :


I married Isis on the fifth day of May,
But I could not hold on to her very long.
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.

I came to a high place of darkness and light.
The dividing line ran through the center of town.
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right,
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.

A man in the corner approached me for a match.
I knew right away he was not ordinary.
He said, "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?"
I said, "I got no money." He said, "That ain't necessary."

We set out that night for the cold in the North.
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word.
I said, "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the fourth.
I said, "That's the best news that I've ever heard."

I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold,
I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace.
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold,
I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless.

How she told me that one day we would meet up again,
And things would be different the next time we wed,
If I only could hang on and just be her friend.
I still can't remember all the best things she said.

We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice.
He said, "There's a body I'm tryin' to find.
If I carry it out it'll bring a good price."
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.

The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous.
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious,
But I made up my mind that I had to go on.

I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty.
There was no jewels, no nothin', I felt I'd been had.
When I saw that my partner was just bein' friendly,
When I took up his offer I must-a been mad.

I picked up his body and I dragged him inside,
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover.
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied.
Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.

She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise.
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed,
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes.
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.

She said, "Where ya been?" I said, "No place special."
She said, "You look different." I said, "Well, not quite."
She said, "You been gone." I said, "That's only natural."
She said, "You gonna stay?" I said, "Yeah, I jes might."

Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain.

The man is a genius.

[Dirty Bertie]

The man is a genius.

Agreed - I need to invest in some more of his music cos I dont know Time out of mind :(

[wheelchairman]

I love Bob Dylan.

Don't Think Twice It's Alright is one of the best songs ever.

[Aimeht]

I just read the newspaper. Bob Dylans concert in Sweden got really bad criticism (He got a "-", the best: +++++). They said it was his worst concert ever. :/

[Aimeht]

My advice to you is to not listen to him.

[ichoose90]

I really like Bob Dylan a lot. I also like his son's band, The Wallflowers. That is beside the point, though, isn't it? Back on topic, 'Like a Rolling Sone' is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life.

[HornyPope]

I'm a big fan.

I heard Highway 61 revisited and Blonde on Blonde and looove em both, plus couple of the more known songs like The times are a-changing.

[bd007h]

Bob Dylan is good. His son Jakob Dylan is the lead singer of a pretty good band, The Wallflowers

*edit: didn't see Ichoose90s post

[T-6005]

I like the songs themselves, but I absolutely cannot stand Bob Dylan's voice.

[bd007h]

yeah, his son definitely has a better voice
