Shakespeare and Sonnet 23: Expressing the Inexpressible
Great interpretation of the lyrics. Thank you. I think it's either a one-night stand or possibly a prostitute. I don't know which, and it doesn't matter. It's a beautiful song.

Kinda late but I love this reaction/review. Dylan has so many phases where he shares a lot of similarities with old poets. Especially 17th and 18th century. You could do hundreds of videos on him. This song is one of his most beautifully written but in my opinion there are far better songs that stand on their one better without the music. In 1965 he said that words are as important as the music to him, which is something we don’t see these days except maybe in hip-hop. I have a lot of recommendations in mind but the best in my opinion are: Visions of Johanna (credited as the best song ever written) and Desolation Row (incredible surrealism).
I need to continue this series :)
Are you still doing Bob Dylan reactions? If so, you should react to Mr Tambourine Man, Desolation Row and A Hard Rain’s a-gonna fall.
I need to get back into doing these! Thanks for the reminder
Comments are rightfully killing this guy 😂 is this man insane
This guy is the exact opposite of 2pac 😂😂😂😂😂
A thinker?
@TroubadourChannel More like someone self-centered who likes the smell of his own farts
So could you please give us a thesis statement about The Foster mother's tale , what Coleridge was trying to prove to us? what are the main themes in this poem? Thank you for this video , it is really interesting
It was played in the police bar a few times in the series - the wire. They are/were an amazing band. Tommy Makem - Broad majestic Shannon is a marvellous tribute, from a man who influenced Dylan, and also loved the pogues. Ta. ❤️👍🏽👍☘️
He's writing this song for the unborn kids all over the world. Who will be born one day and hear his music like we are doing now. He is still raising kids with his messages who weren't even born when he recorded it
Very true, slang and understanding the lingo is key. But i still enjoy it, especially if i figure out or learn what it means.
I love your video❤❤❤
Thanks!
Listen to the studio version.
Sorry, this message was left with me to pass along to whom it may concern, it reads: Went my own way, not coming back. -Men, Circa 2019-2035.
?
This song is actually autobiographical about his life with his own wife and family.
This bought sorrow and regret to the one I loss before me. However it helped cleanse my heart.
Thanks for the inclusion of my poem and the art from our gallery. So very appreciated!
Fun fact: "Ozymandias" is the hellenised version of "Usermaatre Setepenre", the regnal name of Ramesses II, which was one of the greatest Egyptian pharaohs in history.
I’ve read this poem 100s of times and never knew that!
@@TroubadourChannel glad to inform. It does take away from the mystery of the poem but also adds a lot of context to it.
Any plans for Songs From the Mountaintop to be on Kindle/e-book?
Not at the moment, but I will be recording the individual poems and posting them on UA-cam, so feel free to follow for updates 🎉❤
Thoroughly enjoying this dialogue! Kas, you're so talented and brave xoxoxo
What year was this written? It hardly seems possible that eternity would have been pronounced 'eetrni-tay" to make the rhyme. Is it possible there was a category of slant rhyme so oblique as to include this last line? What can you tell us about the other places in the text where our modern ears expect a rhyme?
It may be an audio quirk. I kind of hear what you’re hearing. But I meant it as a standard pronunciation of “eternity.”
This is mid 19th century. Emily Dickinson
I think....l.The song is about a wake for the deceased Big Jim Dwyer. The cadillac/tinker boys verse tells me the location of the wake is a house in a gritty working class neighborhood in America. Dwyer was a young Irish immigrant who moved to America. He was a proud Irishman, but also proud to be a "free born man of the USA." He was also a virtuous and athletic lad who became a boxer, who got drafted and sent to war, where he was killed. My guess is it was WW1. After the wake, and even though he had become an American,his body is being returned to his beloved homeland....Ireland.
Exactly. Probably a Boston Southie
Kadafi didn't get much credit this homey was ❤ touch
My view on real life, living heroes, is that I don’t really have any who are famous, but I have many heroes who I know on a personal level. My roommate, Kassi here, and while I don’t know him, Yaron Brook. I know Yaron enough to view him as a virtuous hero in his pursuit of happiness and spreading objectivism to the globe. Second, if any of these heroes of mine fall from Grace, I can always remember what they used to be without evading who they are. I can always find new heroes, especially in fiction
Wow, to hear I'm a hero in your eyes means a lot! I will stay virtuous because I believe that despite my mistakes, I can learn and gain values!
Great choices!
Ayyy I had this poem in 8th grade literature. Brings back memories.
It's a great one!
Thats pretty good. Would listen to before bed at that.
Thanks for watching :) I’ll do more of them
❤❤❤❤❤
I suggest his “Every Grain of Sand.”
I’ve reacted to that one. Love it!
Listening to audiobook is great as I work... English is my first language so I'm good 👍
Oh did I say not to listen to audiobooks?
This is true: it's about Suze Rotolo, his first true love, who he met and dated on Fourth Street, where the NY folk community centered. He loved her and in this song dredged up the confusion they both felt right before Suze took a long tour in foreign lands. Jump from this song way back to "Boots of Spanish Leather."
I think the line "one who might move the wise man to that scorn which wisdom holds unlawful, ever." means to say that the person "whose eye is ever on himself" could influence the "wise man" to revert back to not thinking beyond themselves. (BTW thank you for this analysis. I read an excerpt of it in the book "Push" by Sapphire and at first I could not get my head around it. After watching your break down of it, I came to fully understand its meaning.)
❤
:D
I'm really not a fan of making things more accessible so that more people will understand what his plays are about. They are of their time. If you modernise or dumb down the language then they become something different. Just read around them and you may learn something in the process.
Do you think the version I created was “dumbed down?” I agree with what you’re saying. But I believe we can have updated language, since there has been 400 years of language change in English.
So much ... Rimbaud? Crikey mate. AEIOU?

In the first verse he doesn't realize she is a prostitute. That's the twist. In the second verse he is confused, but he figures it out when they get to the neon hotel. The reality of the situation hits him like a freight train. In the third verse she drops a coin into the cup of "another blind man". He was the first blind man. Now he sees clearly who she is, but he still has feelings for her. I think the whole story is an allegory for his first marriage which is breaking up.
Music should be felt not listened to, Dylan does that.
True
I've come a bit late to this party. Beg pardon. -- However, -- This song is about infidelity (understood from the "feel" of the whole song before beginning the analysis). -- One thing I have learned from a lot of Dylan's "story" songs is that the first verse in kinda the last verse put at the beginning. When you find a first person reference somewhere, as in this one, it probably is a real memory of his. This makes that first verse an introduction to his memory of the whole episode. -- I think he felt he actually made a big mistake, brought on by a Simple Twist of Fate.
Oh! That’s a useful interpretive tool
I like the theory that the 'blue' he's tangled up in is the Joni Mitchell album of that name
I mean, personally, "Distracts with Feminine Wiles" is nod-wink enough to be clear she seduced him and bedded him.
love this
Thanks!
You should do a video on Chum by Earl Sweatshirt
I listened to this on 2X speed it was so slow 😂
You are correct in that :) Thanks for watching. In so many of my earlier videos I think I babbled way too much. I am working on redoing many of them.
Unconditional Love by Tupac That right there is a different kind of song, different side to Pac.
So he wants money?
Who doesn’t?
It's a conundrum... Is Dylan a poet? Not really...poets don't require a backing track. Is he a great singer? Not really...his vocals are legendarily mocked. However....he is undoubtedly one of the most influential singer songwriters of all time and he is a Nobel literature laureate. Dylan is my all time favorite musical artist and I never stop asking questions about him... Maybe that's why he's my all time favorite?
I like this :)
Can't believe Moonie is again titled "the drum's guy" 😮 i'm educated in music even if i don't care but i know the important names of music....
Sorry to disappoint
Suggest you review "Lay Down Your Weary Tune"
