Same here… but I’m 66. The song pretty much sums it all up for me. I’m traveling down that road, where I’m going I don’t know… but I certainly can’t go back
Messieurs, si la mélodie de ce morceau est effectivement de très bonne facture, le texte en revanche ne brille certainement pas par sa poésie, et est plutôt d'un faible niveau littéraire. Gentlemen, if the melody of this piece is indeed very good, the text on the other hand certainly does not shine with its poetry, and is rather of a low literary level.
Please take care of yourself. I send you my love from Kerala, India. There are people in this world who want to be with you right now.

it should be easy at 64, to break with someone - just know that all important things you already have done, carier, kids, maybe grandkids, house, education - now it is all just fun and support. Don;t think about it, focus on your family
I agree this is one of the best lines ever written but my favorite line is "When you get damned in the public opinion it's just another damn of the damns you aren't giving". Josh Ritter, Getting Ready To Get down
As a kid, I used to think the "you just kinda wasted my precious time" line was kind of a throwaway line. As and adult, I understand it might be the soul of the whole song.

I was gonna agree till i thought of Jude, but i never known a Jude. Not even now. The song makes me sick when i hear it i can tell you that!! If i hear "Hey Jude"! one more time im gonna be super rich if i bet next time about 10 cents, and ask that i get more for ......i really could go on!. Im just so sick of that song, wtf was i just listening to, i tend to ramble
"I wish there was something you would do or say / To try and make me change my mind and stay" Just one quick line, tripping prettily with iambs, throwaway almost, but there's a universe of swirling conflicted meaning and longing in it. He could fire these off like breakfast cooks make toast. (I haven't eaten breakfast yet, as you might guess.)
His delivery of this break up is masterful...No anger, No animosity, No sadness, No self pity, No hatred toward her, and No regrets. It just didn't work out. Time to move on. It's all right. Perhaps the most perfect and most beautiful end of a relationship song ever written.
I hear something different. There are hints of sadness and anger. I think this song describes the denial phase of loss & grief. That's what I've done. That's what I hear.
mmm "you just kin' a wasted my precious time" ... if someone said that to me explaining why, my unspoken reaction would be "what did i ever see in this man?" ... however this very line gave rise to one of the best songs "you are my favourite waste of time" ... there is also an edge on the coin of love
Bob Dylan is the best lyricist that ever lived! He wrote songs as if he lived a whole lifetime at the age of 20 and as a teenager! I love this man’s mind!❤🥹🌟
yes I agree 100%.For a 20 year old to come up with the lyrics he was able to do is mind-blowing and pure genius...I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul..How could a 20 year old think of that.
I always cry when I listen to this song. My dad was a huge Bob Dylan fan, owned all his records, all the bootlegs, all the biographies. In my early childhood i just remember his annoying nasal voice and that god awful harmonica and telling my dad how bad the music was. I never understood how he could listen to that garbage. When I was 17 he was diagnosed with liver cancer, and in less than a year he passed away. I always associated Bob Dylan with my dad, and so wanting to remember his, i dug up the old CD's and started ripping them onto my itunes library. Now i was 18 and could actually understand the quality of dylans songwriting and I started exploring his entire discography. I now consider him one of my favourite top 10 artists of all time. Now most of his music as melancholic as this song, but the sadness combined with remembering my dad always listening to dylan telling me i would understand what a genius this man was when i grew up. I grew up, I understood what a musical genius Bob Dylan is, and all i wanna do is be able to talk to my dad and discuss his works whenever i listen to it, but my dad passed away before I had the chance to do that. Sorry if the formatting of this comment is shitty, i just really miss my dad right now and im just writing without thinking of the structure.

Divorce brought me here. “I once loved a woman, a child, I'm told I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right” Be careful who you love, friends. You cannot fix yourself mending other people’s damage. Peace and love
Norm Macdonald said this was his favourite Bob Dylan song. Both Norm and Dylan have special places in my life. It would only seem fitting that I listen to this song today. Thank you for everything Norm.
That's awesome!!! You must have some very interesting stories to tell growing up during the vietnam war. I love to learn about history. And bob Dylan is a legend!❤
My Dad always said one day I would love Dylan.He was right.He passed away this May and I’ve listened to Bob Dylan a lot since then.This song just makes me happy and sad at the same time.💜
same man im sorry for your loss god bless this makes me smile and remeber how good my dad was to me on those cold but warm car trips with bob cds paying
One of my favorites is “ Don’t think twice it’s alright” By now I’m sure you’ve heard it. I cry when I hear it. Soul touching. I’m 67 and have also turned both my children on to Bob Dylan. To beautiful to miss out on. 💕Good father.
"The world don't need any more songs... As a matter of fact, if nobody wrote any songs from this day on, the world ain't gonna suffer for it... There's enough songs for people to listen to, if they want to listen to songs. For every man, woman and child on earth, they could be sent, probably, each of them, a hundred songs, and never be repeated... Unless someone's gonna come along with a pure heart and has something to say. That's a different story.” ― Bob Dylan
Hsn Khn There’s a man by the name of Michael David Rosenberg aka Passenger that I think has produced songs worth listening to. I am a big Dylan fan and others from that era but you need to keep listening. There are still going to be those few like a Passenger and a friend of his , Stu Larsen, that still bring meaningful music to the world
Bob Dylan won a Nobel Prize in Literature for his writing in 2016. He's the man! Im so happy my parents introduced me to his music, as they were in their 20s in the 1960s.
I left home at 12 and couldn't make it, I walked out into the woods at 14 with my the cloths on and never looked back. Got a job washing dishes in a bar for $6.00 an hour, a pack of cigarettes lunch and all the drinks I could drink. I was homeless 14 years of my life and 3 times I had enough money to buy Miami, other times I ate a toothpaste sandwich and tore photo's of food out of pages and ate them. I became the drunk of my town and I lost everything I acquired and even myself. God never lost faith in me even when I didn't believe in myself. Been clean & sober almost 30 years. today I own a $300.00 home and the most important thing to me is I found myself again. If you try to lose yourself it's easy to do, that's why Bob Dylan could recreate himself all these years. because he lived it. God Bless you Bob 😇✡✝💝
Strange 😢I left home early too ❤Look out your wi ndow and I was gone🎉🎉🎉This song reminds me of my mother really 🎉Today I was told I still had an anger energy from her🎉🎉Wow🎉🎉Lots of deep Healing today 🎉🎉She could have done better 💔 😢 but I didn't mind 🎉🎉🎉Dont think twice🎉🎉it's allright🎉🎉🎉
It turned out fine.I just couldn't tell my parents who were strict Catholics and Italian that I was pregnant.We left in the middle of night and took off to the city and then interstate.I did write some long letters explaining everything. And when our baby was ten months old we returned back home and All was well.🎉🎉🎉🎉
I remember many drives on lonesome highways while listening to Dylan as the sun rose. Simultaneously remembering old lovers and friends, while feeling the anticipation of a new day and new opportunities. A bittersweet mix of excitement and regrets in that twilight before a new day.
This is was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar. After a breakup with my girlfriend at the age of 16. In 1971, always think of her when I hear this song. Got back with her, married after high school. Went in the navy, things were great for awhile. Then I shipped out, came home a year later, she was pregnant. Sang it lots more.
I think he’s angry, but not directly expressing it. The title, “Don’t think twice, it’s alright,” is snarky. “You kinda wasted my precious time,” is subtly angry.
@@drothberg3 I think he's at that part in the Healing Stage where he's lettin'it all go... It's all slidin'down off his shoulders...all that heavy weight he's been carrying for oh! so long, way too long a time... so long that he was accustomed to it...& Now, that it's goin', Goin', GONE! he's learnin' to find his own wings again...so light & so Free! 🌄
_...I ain't saying you treated me unkind, you coulda done better but I don't mind, you just kinda wasted my precious time. But don't think twice, it's alright._
Annelie Se. My 16 year old grandson covered this at open mic last night. His girlfriend had given him up a few weeks ago. These words were quite apt. Would love to know what you think of his version ua-cam.com/video/PiTwTsQUakk/v-deo.html
@@kellygrant3074 That whole album was great, but yeah Tangled up in Blue definitely a good one. For me off Blood on the Tracks Simple Twist of Fate might be my favorite.
Yep, she certainly doesnt need to be told not to think twice about him moving on. At least he was smart enough to get out of the situation before she got his soul.
Seems public opinion lifted the guy into the stratusphere. Maybe theres some logic from a great poet and even better flow or something. Great sound. Idk, maybe the band should get some reparations. Or maybe he was a one man Armyin creating these songs. Doubtful. It's a conscious poetry that got eaten up. The man don't make the times. I might not know enough about it but he later say I don't know how I did it in recent interviews. Interesting stuff. I forget who said it but it's a saying about the mindvbeing stretched by an idea and how it can never gain footing or some of this. Stretch the idea with your mind. The base of personal consciousness and the rest was coined long ago in writing. Socrates spoke of the ideological realm and that not in itself spawned levels of great thinkers. Talk about divided people now well this kinda stuff birthed layers of textures where mostly boosted readers few lucky deserving coleages didn't really expand on. How could you.
What I love about this song, is that it’s an emotional state I don’t think very many love songs have ever described, it’s unique. This isn’t an “I miss you” song, or an angry bitter one, or even an “I’m getting over you” song. It’s just him basically saying “You broke my heart, you hurt me, but that’s ok, I don’t even want you to feel bad about it, it is what it is”
In my opinion, he still is the best lyricist of all time. There are a few that come close, but with his musical abilities and his lyrics, I feel he is the best.
It used to be pretty commonly used in the South. I heard it when I was a boy growing up in deep southeast Missouri, just above the Bootheel. www.thefreedictionary.com/knowed
Lyrics... It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If'n you don't know by now And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It'll never do somehow When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm a-traveling on But don't think twice, it's all right … And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe That light I never knowed And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay But we never did too much talking anyway But don't think twice, it's all right … So it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal Like you never done before And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal I can't hear you anymore I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking down the road I once loved a woman, a child, I'm told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right … So long honey, babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell Goodbye's too good a word, babe So I'll just say, "Fare thee well" I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind You could've done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right
It’s my 18th birthday today and I got a tattoo of this song “Don’t think twice, it’s alright” this song got me through a tough breakup earlier this year and I would listen to this constantly. Thank you Bob Dylan.
This song means so much to me. I lost my father to cancer 2 years ago. We weren’t really close until the end, but eventually, I could understand everything he was trying to say even though he couldn’t talk anymore. We ended up bonding over music (talking heads, the strokes, Bob Dylan, etc) which was his true passion. When he still had his voice box and could sing people would compare his voice to Bob Dylan’s a fair amount. He loved to play the guitar too, but he eventually got arthritis and couldn’t play anymore. Eventually, we thought the cancer was gone (according to doctors) but it wasn't true. He decided to hide it from us. I think he thought he was protecting us, even though it caused more damage than good. I don't have any recordings of his voice so all I really have of him is Dylan since they sounded similar. This song represents breakups for most people, but for me it represents passing. A lot of the lyrics in this feel like he's talking directly to me, so I find myself coming back to this song a lot even though it breaks my heart a bit.
Music feeds my soul but this song breaks my heart whenever I need to feel close to my dad as this song represents loss to me too. Keep on going, there is still beauty out there 💖
Bueno es un amor escondido por alguien y de alguna manera no correspondido ,lo que le hace más bello si cabe ,y lo hace más perpetuo y profundo. Siento tu historia ,pero la canción siempre se fijara en tu corazón.
Another one would be Leonard Cohen. I have seen Bob Dylan live, and also Leonard Cohen live. These two are hard to match with their lyrical brilliance. Cheers!
Johnny Cash did great, only think that I dislike about his cover is how he says "I wish there was something I could do or say, to try and make you change your mind and stay" Instead of being the other way around but besides that it's pretty great
Dylan is an icon. That’s why he is able to crank out material like this. Icons come once a generation or so. The rest of us can only stand in awe of them.
Bob Dylan is a legend. If you love him, you should check out Kaz Bielinski's new single "Love Never Dies". It's reminiscent of the legendary icon...you will not regret it!! ua-cam.com/video/2vosjfyBXJM/v-deo.html

He just thoroughly learned one style, the Merle Travis one he uses here. Usually, he chords --cleanly and accurately and sometimes fas --, but he mainly chords. He sure did some excellent folk playing on *Good as I been to you* and *World Gone Wrong*.
When a 21 year old man writes a song like this and goes on becomes the most prolific writer of an entire generation, perhaps a whole century it kinda makes you wonder what forces were guiding our young people back in the 60s70s80s. Why does our generation stand rock firm and swear we were it. Aint never gonna be another time like we had. I can never forget Niel singing, " there we stood on the edge of a feather, expecting to fly".
I’m a woman who lived this song… the dark lonely road led me to a life of peace and forgiveness for all the pain of the past. ❤God puts us through the fire to purify our soul
This is best listening too whilst reading the comments on this thread. Some beautiful tributes to dads and family members that have passed in this thread whilst acknowledging one of the greatest songwriters and singers of his generation. If ya dont love this ya have a steel heart.
Always loved this song, just like the freewheeling cover photo. I'm 75 years old now, heard it first time in a Zurich students club, a friggin' half a century ago...
Here's a little treat I came across re the cover photo : www.snapgalleries.com/product/don-hunstein-bob-dylan-and-suze-rotolo-freewheelin-session-1963/
Thank you to my 10th grade English teacher, Mrs. Brewster, for introducing me to Dylan so many years ago. That introduction kickstarted my deeper musical journey.
I was 9 years old when Mr. Dylan released this song in 1963. I enjoyed the guitar picking in it and the rawness of the voice but I had no clue how valuable the words would become for me until at 18 I met the girl who would be the reason I found salvation in the lyric. Thank you for that, Bob.
This is one of the most brutal poetical wrath bob had unleashed in this world. Not a single curse but its worst than thousand curses. It's so relatable, when you are heartbroken and angry. Not just directed to a particular person/artist. Any 21st century diss track is like a jingle in front of this song.
One of the best album covers of all time.Came into the city with my girlfriend Patty to walk the streets of the Village in Feb. '68 to get the same feeling as the two in the picture. Worth the trip. Ah , to be young ,broke and in love !
Shitty place to be in life, to be pressing 'like' on this song. I wish alll you boys and girls, and men and women, all the best. Life is rough out there for all of us together.
This cover was later covered for the movie Vanilla Sky. Bob Dylen was and still is a world class. A real legend. Remember him, because not much people was on this level.
I heard this song while I had just started watching the walking dead. Carol had just met king ezikle and his tiger,sheva. The small choir is singing in background. I loved it so much that I want to have it played with our funeral when I pass and our ashes mixed together at the service. I am going to change the word gal and babe to children.kids.i hope they get it, I am.going to find music to be recorded and play ed by church choir does any body out there have it
I’m now in my mid to late 50’s and I’m a life long musician and took me to quite recently to realize just how amazing Bob Dylan truly is simply brilliant.
It still gets me ! when i hear this track, i stop whatever im doing and remember where i was the first time i heard it, and who made me feel this way. Thats what real art does, it makes you feel
Damnn. So true. I still remember having a joint on the terrace of a building near my uni campus in Sitaphalmandi, and then suddenly this song came on from the Senior's penthouse room (which was so clean, in a sepia tone and with incandescent lights. Akhilesh if you ever read this, your room had amazing vibes. I remember this specifically because before you moved in, it was Sishir's room and it had absolutely zero vibes) and there was a strong wind too that day. I was in love with my college sweetheart at that time and didn't quite grasp this was a breakup song. Just made me feel ominous or something. But whenever this song comes up now, I've mixed feelings of that day, the wind, the terrace, sepia-toned clean room of my Senior in college. Could a room give vibes? I think this song that windy evening made that room alive.
He really understands the human condition.He just paints the picture as we are.We see ourselves in his songs.He has described it all.Thats the grip he has on us.The truth as it is.
I’ve listened to this incredible song many thousands of times. Every time I listen to this song is different - a new revelation, a new awareness, a new nuance, a new appreciation of the beauty of this incandescent creation. Such is the timeless power of art. It brings us closer together in our shared humanity. It brings out the best in us.
Part of the reason American music is as great as it is- is with no doubt- because of the influence of people originally brought here as slaves, against their will- much like the relationship of God and I which was never willing nor consentual. I believe God took a great deal from them, but also gave them these fantastic skills and superpowers in return. Its part of the power of rap too, to be born of pain and hardship. I'm not saying its ever equal or right or just, but there is often some outstandingly positive things God gives to you in return for so many negatives. The two sides are not separate- but connected!

Hang in there.. I know how you feel !!
Good advice
@@jrobinson6762 Me too. I've lost too much time in more than one relationship.
Norm Macdonald said this was his favourite Bob Dylan song. Both Norm and Dylan have special places in my life. It would only seem fitting that I listen to this song today. Thank you for everything Norm.
RIP norm
I didn’t even know he was sick!
Maybe we should play “2 of a kind”
rip norm
Who's Norm MacDonald?
R.I.P. Mr. MacDonald
I've loved Bob Dylan since the 60's ❤❤❤❤
AMEN TO THAT MY FRIEND
That's awesome!!! You must have some very interesting stories to tell growing up during the vietnam war. I love to learn about history. And bob Dylan is a legend!❤
My Dad always said one day I would love Dylan.He was right.He passed away this May and I’ve listened to Bob Dylan a lot since then.This song just makes me happy and sad at the same time.💜
God bless your father , I’m sure he is looking down smiling now as he was right ❤️
same man im sorry for your loss god bless this makes me smile and remeber how good my dad was to me on those cold but warm car trips with bob cds paying
One of my favorites is “ Don’t think twice it’s alright” By now I’m sure you’ve heard it. I cry when I hear it. Soul touching. I’m 67 and have also turned both my children on to Bob Dylan. To beautiful to miss out on.
💕Good father.
@@karencahill4798 amazing tune
My dad passed away in June and same here! Brings me right back to being with him.
I've been listening to this song for well over 50 years and it still knocks me out.
Have only just started listening to bob, what do u recommend?
@@heretic5116 listen to this whole album and then listen to the slow train coming album..same bob but different music !!
Yup, me too.
Donovan?
All due respect but Donovan try and catch the wind
"The world don't need any more songs... As a matter of fact, if nobody wrote any songs from this day on, the world ain't gonna suffer for it... There's enough songs for people to listen to, if they want to listen to songs. For every man, woman and child on earth, they could be sent, probably, each of them, a hundred songs, and never be repeated... Unless someone's gonna come along with a pure heart and has something to say. That's a different story.”
― Bob Dylan
unfortunately there's no talent hacks that saturate the music industry with garbage. they should take a page from Bob and give it a rest.
this is so dumb. but as yangyn pointed out, it may apply to porn
Hsn Khn There’s a man by the name of Michael David Rosenberg aka Passenger that I think has produced songs worth listening to. I am a big Dylan fan and others from that era but you need to keep listening. There are still going to be those few like a Passenger and a friend of his , Stu Larsen, that still bring meaningful music to the world
@1YangYing well goddamn
I wish I could save your comment. Brilliant words, once again by Dylan.
Bob Dylan won a Nobel Prize in Literature for his writing in 2016. He's the man! Im so happy my parents introduced me to his music, as they were in their 20s in the 1960s.
Bob Dylan makes me feel ok even when things aren’t.
I left home at 12 and couldn't make it, I walked out into the woods at 14 with my the cloths on and never looked back. Got a job washing dishes in a bar for $6.00 an hour, a pack of cigarettes lunch and all the drinks I could drink. I was homeless 14 years of my life and 3 times I had enough money to buy Miami, other times I ate a toothpaste sandwich and tore photo's of food out of pages and ate them. I became the drunk of my town and I lost everything I acquired and even myself. God never lost faith in me even when I didn't believe in myself. Been clean & sober almost 30 years. today I own a $300.00 home and the most important thing to me is I found myself again. If you try to lose yourself it's easy to do, that's why Bob Dylan could recreate himself all these years. because he lived it. God Bless you Bob 😇✡✝💝
Great and touching story. I hope you are still well.
Strange 😢I left home early too ❤Look out your wi ndow and I was gone🎉🎉🎉This song reminds me of my mother really 🎉Today I was told I still had an anger energy from her🎉🎉Wow🎉🎉Lots of deep Healing today 🎉🎉She could have done better 💔 😢 but I didn't mind 🎉🎉🎉Dont think twice🎉🎉it's allright🎉🎉🎉
It turned out fine.I just couldn't tell my parents who were strict Catholics and Italian that I was pregnant.We left in the middle of night and took off to the city and then interstate.I did write some long letters explaining everything.
And when our baby was ten months old we returned back home and All was well.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Spoken like a true stoner😅😅
Write a book. I'm hooked and I want to hear more of that story. God love you, brother.
He will forever be the greatest in my eyes
I remember many drives on lonesome highways while listening to Dylan as the sun rose. Simultaneously remembering old lovers and friends, while feeling the anticipation of a new day and new opportunities. A bittersweet mix of excitement and regrets in that twilight before a new day.
Well said
Beautifully said sir.
Dylan is one of very few musicians who can make feel more than just surface-level enjoyment of a song. Absolute poetry in every sense.
@Gabriel Moraes Joni Mitchell
A select few musicians have that ability, Van Morrison and John Prine are a couple, not even the Beatles could do what they do..
Shane McGowan & The Pogues too.
He deserved that Nobel prize more than even he understands. He's just a natural genius.
This is was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar. After a breakup with my girlfriend at the age of 16. In 1971, always think of her when I hear this song. Got back with her, married after high school. Went in the navy, things were great for awhile. Then I shipped out, came home a year later, she was pregnant. Sang it lots more.
My all time favorite breakup song.
Not even mad, just, over it.
Perfect.
Where are you cat? I miss your insight.
@@frankcerra7339 The cat is in the box, perhaps? I'm a Gat. 🔫
I think he’s angry, but not directly expressing it. The title, “Don’t think twice, it’s alright,” is snarky. “You kinda wasted my precious time,” is subtly angry.
@@drothberg3 I think he's at that part in the Healing Stage where he's lettin'it all go...
It's all slidin'down off his shoulders...all that heavy weight he's been carrying for oh! so long, way too long a time...
so long that he was accustomed to it...& Now, that it's goin', Goin', GONE! he's learnin' to find his own wings again...so light & so Free! 🌄
For me, it is the second best (breakup song). Sooner Or Later One Of Us Must Know is the best.
_...I ain't saying you treated me unkind, you coulda done better but I don't mind, you just kinda wasted my precious time. But don't think twice, it's alright._
could it possibly get better from this. don't think twice it can't.
Annelie Se. My 16 year old grandson covered this at open mic last night. His girlfriend had given him up a few weeks ago. These words were quite apt. Would love to know what you think of his version ua-cam.com/video/PiTwTsQUakk/v-deo.html
@@brendahawkins3965 that's so sweet, I'll listen to it and let you know!
i listened and it's great !!!
@@brendahawkins3965 i heard it too! He did amazing, tell him to keep on rocking Bob's legacy! He has a great voice 👏
These were lullaby’s in my childhood, know them by heart ❤️
the Album Cover alone is priceless
firebase delta wife and I recreated the cover pic in the same spot the original was taken whilst in New York last year, was snowy too
It depicts an entire era, in one photo
Is it Joan Baez on the cover ?
@@quentinmartell1008 No, it's Suze Rotolo, his first major love
Ni it is Bob's G/F Suze Rotolo@@quentinmartell1008
He wasn't playing around with that last verse
Ong
Omg you said it so on point
😂
Facts those the type of lyrics that got pac and biggie killed
You do know there's no such thing as a favorite Dylan song
impossible to pick just one. depends on the day :) he has too many good songs
Jer B
you do know that not only is that _not_ true,
it's also nothing you could ever say if it was.
Desert Island Discs would be a nightmare to me. Which ones to choose? Even worse, what do you leave out????
Tangled up in blue
@@kellygrant3074 That whole album was great, but yeah Tangled up in Blue definitely a good one. For me off Blood on the Tracks Simple Twist of Fate might be my favorite.
I remember listening to this song in my room in the summer between high school and going off to college. It still makes me cry now, in 2024.
Go, figure! Absolutely! Now in many ways Dylan was a better politician and activist than any, today. Yep!
Best "feeling bad for yourself" break up song ever.
🤣
Biggest "fuck you" break up song.
Yep, she certainly doesnt need to be told not to think twice about him moving on. At least he was smart enough to get out of the situation before she got his soul.
Hi, I just did a cover of this song if you want to listen to it :)
ua-cam.com/video/lbe0JuiAeRw/v-deo.html
This song is a masterpiece. The more I listen to him the more I'm convinced he is a genius. My whole family are huge Dylan fans. ❤
I’m getting more and more into Dylan every day
So lucky that you are surrounded by Dylan fans. My partner & daughter just don't get him. A few friends do
Hello how are you doing? It's nice meeting you here
One of the most raw and relatable songs by a master who put the words to this music. Masterpiece. Minnesota greatness
Seems public opinion lifted the guy into the stratusphere. Maybe theres some logic from a great poet and even better flow or something. Great sound. Idk, maybe the band should get some reparations. Or maybe he was a one man Armyin creating these songs. Doubtful. It's a conscious poetry that got eaten up. The man don't make the times. I might not know enough about it but he later say I don't know how I did it in recent interviews. Interesting stuff. I forget who said it but it's a saying about the mindvbeing stretched by an idea and how it can never gain footing or some of this. Stretch the idea with your mind. The base of personal consciousness and the rest was coined long ago in writing. Socrates spoke of the ideological realm and that not in itself spawned levels of great thinkers. Talk about divided people now well this kinda stuff birthed layers of textures where mostly boosted readers few lucky deserving coleages didn't really expand on. How could you.
What I love about this song, is that it’s an emotional state I don’t think very many love songs have ever described, it’s unique. This isn’t an “I miss you” song, or an angry bitter one, or even an “I’m getting over you” song. It’s just him basically saying “You broke my heart, you hurt me, but that’s ok, I don’t even want you to feel bad about it, it is what it is”
This should be in every list of the greatest songs of all time.
How can a 21 year old write a song like this?
Brantley hi would love to know what you think of my 16 year old grandsons cover of this ua-cam.com/video/PiTwTsQUakk/v-deo.html
Talent and experience
Brantley Old Soul with a Young Heart ... that’s how 😉✌️
Brantley good point or blowing in the wind
Sell your soul to the devil
In my opinion, he still is the best lyricist of all time. There are a few that come close, but with his musical abilities and his lyrics, I feel he is the best.
The best songwriter is John Lennon, but Bob Dylan is the better lyricist.
Naw. Cohen and Dylan beat Lennon anyday. @@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212
Dylan, Prine, Townes come to mind
Perhaps my favourite Dylan song. Listening this guy with my Dad in car feels like was only yesterday. Miss u Dad. ❤
I always liked the way he made up the word "knowed"
Same
He does what he wants and it works lol
He meant note ("noticed"). The other one was knew
Poetic licence.
It used to be pretty commonly used in the South. I heard it when I was a boy growing up in deep southeast Missouri, just above the Bootheel. www.thefreedictionary.com/knowed
Happy Birthday, Mr. Dylan!
I am so glad I grew up in Dylan’s era to experience all of it when published, and he’s still with us!
i can't imagine what experiencing him going electric was like
You are my All Time FAVORITE singer and songwriter. God bless you Bob Dylan. Your music touches my Soul..
The most important part of this is "don't think twice, it's alright"
which is the whole song!!!
This beautiful Man should win a Nobel prize every year
Give my channel a boost. Visit it!! I covered this song. I hope you like it!!
These lyrics are absolutely on point. People who take advantage of others, make false promises, this one's for you
I feel so attacked right now. Lol.
Winds always are changing
Just heard this song for the first time today- and I'm listening to it on repeat. What a song. Love it !!!!
"Gave her my heart, she wanted my soul." Aptly said. Lyrical genius.
Lyrics...
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If'n you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm a-traveling on
But don't think twice, it's all right
… And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right
… So it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you anymore
I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child, I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
… So long honey, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say, "Fare thee well"
I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind
You could've done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
Thanks
This isnt just one of his best songs, its one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Thank you for the days...ua-cam.com/video/tuUoSuO_hfg/v-deo.html
Maybe the best song Dylan ever wrote. Which might be the same as saying it's the best song ever written.
Wow that finger picking guitar beautiful chord progression.
Listen to billy strings’ rendition!
It’s my 18th birthday today and I got a tattoo of this song “Don’t think twice, it’s alright” this song got me through a tough breakup earlier this year and I would listen to this constantly. Thank you Bob Dylan.
This song means so much to me.
I lost my father to cancer 2 years ago. We weren’t really close until the end, but eventually, I could understand everything he was trying to say even though he couldn’t talk anymore. We ended up bonding over music (talking heads, the strokes, Bob Dylan, etc) which was his true passion. When he still had his voice box and could sing people would compare his voice to Bob Dylan’s a fair amount. He loved to play the guitar too, but he eventually got arthritis and couldn’t play anymore. Eventually, we thought the cancer was gone (according to doctors) but it wasn't true. He decided to hide it from us. I think he thought he was protecting us, even though it caused more damage than good. I don't have any recordings of his voice so all I really have of him is Dylan since they sounded similar. This song represents breakups for most people, but for me it represents passing. A lot of the lyrics in this feel like he's talking directly to me, so I find myself coming back to this song a lot even though it breaks my heart a bit.
💚 I hope you're well
Im so sorry I hopw ur okay
Music feeds my soul but this song breaks my heart whenever I need to feel close to my dad as this song represents loss to me too.
Keep on going, there is still beauty out there 💖
Bueno es un amor escondido por alguien y de alguna manera no correspondido ,lo que le hace más bello si cabe ,y lo hace más perpetuo y profundo.
Siento tu historia ,pero la canción siempre se fijara en tu corazón.
i hope you are doing well❤️
Bob Dylan is a pure genius.
Keep it up Bob
I've loved Dylan since I heard him from the first time. Still do it...
No person better than a singer/songwriter like Dylan.
Another one would be Leonard Cohen. I have seen Bob Dylan live, and also Leonard Cohen live. These two are hard to match with their lyrical brilliance. Cheers!
Gordon Lightfoot
Agreed
@@THEDUSTINLEWITSHOW Gordon Lightfoot is another great songwriter, whom I've seen live, and also met. A Canadian music icon.
John Lennon and Bob Dylan.
So many people have done a cover on this song, but I gotta say, no one ever did it better than Dylan himself.
Billy Strings gave it one hell of a shot.
Johnny Cash did great, only think that I dislike about his cover is how he says "I wish there was something I could do or say, to try and make you change your mind and stay" Instead of being the other way around but besides that it's pretty great
Bree Sharp's version is pretty good
Check out Post Malone's version (Austin (Richard) Post on YT). So haunting.
Dylan is an icon. That’s why he is able to crank out material like this. Icons come once a generation or so. The rest of us can only stand in awe of them.
Goodbye is too good a word babe
So I just say Fare thee well.
So so so so perfectly written.
Hi would love to know what you think of my 17 year old grandsons cover of this ua-cam.com/video/Ds4h0Q6GQHg/v-deo.html
This song brings tears to my eyes,Thanx for the memories Bob
His music takes me back to the happiest days of my life, spent with the love of my life who has since passed away. Makes me feel close to him.
Same here, it makes me think of my father who passed 6 months ago and who made me discover this legend.
Dylan the BEST FOLK ARTIST OF ALL TIME! 🎉❤NEIL YOUNG TOO
Joan Baez is right up there too
He certainly has an ear for idioms, phrases and twisting them into mystical jewels. I love the line "I'm on the dark side of the road."
Bob Dylan is a legend. If you love him, you should check out Kaz Bielinski's new single "Love Never Dies". It's reminiscent of the legendary icon...you will not regret it!! ua-cam.com/video/2vosjfyBXJM/v-deo.html
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️❤️❤️
Please send me a mail via. Bobdylan2291@gmail.com
Just my humble opinion, but probably one of the best songs ever written - words and music.
Bob Dylan's guitar playing is so underrated
He just thoroughly learned one style, the Merle Travis one he uses here. Usually, he chords --cleanly and accurately and sometimes fas --, but he mainly chords. He sure did some excellent folk playing on *Good as I been to you* and *World Gone Wrong*.
When a 21 year old man writes a song like this and goes on becomes the most prolific writer of an entire generation, perhaps a whole century it kinda makes you wonder what forces were guiding our young people back in the 60s70s80s. Why does our generation stand rock firm and swear we were it. Aint never gonna be another time like we had. I can never forget Niel singing, " there we stood on the edge of a feather, expecting to fly".
This is my favourite Dylan song. If you have a different one, Don't think twice, it's alright. :)
My life is falling apart. This is a comfort. Thanks Dylan.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. You got this
all the best to you my friend
We are all falling apart hope it works out us
Probably the best lyrics to a song ever. Every line hits like a sledgehammer.
I’m a woman who lived this song… the dark lonely road led me to a life of peace and forgiveness for all the pain of the past. ❤God puts us through the fire to purify our soul
So glad I have music to help me with life's troubles. Music is a big stress reliever.
Bob Dylan's music are therapeutic to me, makes me so calm and at peace.
This is best listening too whilst reading the comments on this thread. Some beautiful tributes to dads and family members that have passed in this thread whilst acknowledging one of the greatest songwriters and singers of his generation. If ya dont love this ya have a steel heart.
Poker Face brought me here and I ain’t leaving. Whoa!!!! Crazy good tune.
I wish people still made music this beautiful
they do lol
They still do lol
London Grammar
Jack White
If you're listening to it they still do
Always loved this song, just like the freewheeling cover photo.
I'm 75 years old now, heard it first time in a Zurich students club, a friggin' half a century ago...
Give my channel a boost. Visit it!! I covered this song. I hope you like it!!
Yes. It was already nostalgic when he wrote it....let alone now ! I love the iconic cover photo too. Also genius and also nostalgic.
Here's a little treat I came across re the cover photo : www.snapgalleries.com/product/don-hunstein-bob-dylan-and-suze-rotolo-freewheelin-session-1963/
Reading my own comment from 3 years ago, just split up with a beautiful young woman - this iconic song is truly a part of my life!
Norm's favorite Dylan song. RIP.
Thank you to my 10th grade English teacher, Mrs. Brewster, for introducing me to Dylan so many years ago. That introduction kickstarted my deeper musical journey.
Amazing. He actually truly changed the world with his music.
I was 9 years old when Mr. Dylan released this song in 1963. I enjoyed the guitar picking in it and the rawness of the voice but I had no clue how valuable the words would become for me until at 18 I met the girl who would be the reason I found salvation in the lyric. Thank you for that, Bob.
Give my channel a boost. Visit it!! I covered this song. I hope you like it!
My mum was a massive bob dylan fan now she's gone these songs help me remember her
Many of us have that relationship that ended badly and remember when we listen to this masterpiece of a song, which Dylan wrote at 21 years old.
Brings a tear to my eye not only for the ending to still game but just the lyrics in general. It just speaks for itself
relate
Genius is a word not fitting enough for this guy.
The number one musical poet of the human condition...
happy 80th birthday, legend
This is one of the most brutal poetical wrath bob had unleashed in this world.
Not a single curse but its worst than thousand curses.
It's so relatable, when you are heartbroken and angry.
Not just directed to a particular person/artist.
Any 21st century diss track is like a jingle in front of this song.
One of the best album covers of all time.Came into the city with my girlfriend Patty to walk the streets of the Village in Feb. '68 to get the same feeling as the two in the picture. Worth the trip. Ah , to be young ,broke and in love !
Shitty place to be in life, to be pressing 'like' on this song. I wish alll you boys and girls, and men and women, all the best.
Life is rough out there for all of us together.
Peace
🔥💪💪🌎❤
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL , DEATH IS UGLY
Yeah feels thanks my guy
There’s no sunshine without rain, hard times make you enjoy the good ones even more
This cover was later covered for the movie Vanilla Sky. Bob Dylen was and still is a world class. A real legend. Remember him, because not much people was on this level.
I heard this song while I had just started watching the walking dead. Carol had just met king ezikle and his tiger,sheva. The small choir is singing in background. I loved it so much that I want to have it played with our funeral when I pass and our ashes mixed together at the service. I am going to change the word gal and babe to children.kids.i hope they get it, I am.going to find music to be recorded and play ed by church choir does any body out there have it
I believe Bob wrote it, not a cover
I’m now in my mid to late 50’s and I’m a life long musician and took me to quite recently to realize just how amazing Bob Dylan truly is simply brilliant.
It still gets me ! when i hear this track, i stop whatever im doing and remember where i was the first time i heard it, and who made me feel this way. Thats what real art does, it makes you feel
Your so right about this! 👌
@@leahlotti_999 It's what art is all about.
Takes me straight back to my happy teenage bedroom with my mum pottering around in the kitchen (sniff, sniff, pass me a tissue....).
Timeless
Damnn. So true.
I still remember having a joint on the terrace of a building near my uni campus in Sitaphalmandi, and then suddenly this song came on from the Senior's penthouse room (which was so clean, in a sepia tone and with incandescent lights. Akhilesh if you ever read this, your room had amazing vibes. I remember this specifically because before you moved in, it was Sishir's room and it had absolutely zero vibes) and there was a strong wind too that day. I was in love with my college sweetheart at that time and didn't quite grasp this was a breakup song. Just made me feel ominous or something.
But whenever this song comes up now, I've mixed feelings of that day, the wind, the terrace, sepia-toned clean room of my Senior in college. Could a room give vibes? I think this song that windy evening made that room alive.
He really understands the human condition.He just paints the picture as we are.We see ourselves in his songs.He has described it all.Thats the grip he has on us.The truth as it is.
I’ve listened to this incredible song many thousands of times. Every time I listen to this song is different - a new revelation, a new awareness, a new nuance, a new appreciation of the beauty of this incandescent creation. Such is the timeless power of art. It brings us closer together in our shared humanity. It brings out the best in us.
Part of the reason American music is as great as it is- is with no doubt- because of the influence of people originally brought here as slaves, against their will- much like the relationship of God and I which was never willing nor consentual. I believe God took a great deal from them, but also gave them these fantastic skills and superpowers in return. Its part of the power of rap too, to be born of pain and hardship. I'm not saying its ever equal or right or just, but there is often some outstandingly positive things God gives to you in return for so many negatives. The two sides are not separate- but connected!
