Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Up on the white veranda
She wears a necktie and a Panama hat
Her passport shows a face
From another time and place
She looks nothing like that
And all the remnants of her recent past
Are scattered in the wild wind
She walks across the marble floor
Where a voice from the gambling room is calling her to come on in
She smiles, walks the other way
As the last ship sails and the moon fades away
From Black Diamond Bay
#BobDylan #BlackDiamondBay #Desire
This entire album is a masterpiece
Yes, it is. Love this in particular.
Totally....nothing further to add
his very BEST!!
Masterpiece
Yes! Went and grabbed another beer...
One of the most underrated Dylan songs. My uncle chose this song for his funeral and it choked me up enough that now I sing it in the middle of every funeral ceremony I go to.
I've requested this for my funeral too, your uncle clearly knew great music/song writing. RIP
You cannot top that 💦💖🖤
bad ass song to pick
Love you
Wow! You have me thinking. I was going to go with Dust in the Wind... but I feel like the woman in the neck tie and the Panama hat.
Woody Allen used to say "In comedy, there's Groucho..then everyone else." Well, in modern music songwriting there's His Bobness...and everyone else. Within 7min. he tells a far more complex story than most 2hr movies. Truly incredible.
I love this quote. Thanks.
Desire has to be my favourite Dylan album. Emmylou Harris' backing vocals just add so much.
They certainly do
Mine too!
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊
And Scarlett Rivera's fiddle, present all over the album but breathtakingly dramatic and a staple element to Hurricane in particular.
Me too. Awesome album.
I know that Bob Dylan's singing does not usually get a lot of compliments, but I personally love his vocal performances throughout this álbum.
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊
Possibly his final effort at anything resembling a decent vocal.
One the best artists ive came across brought up listening to dylan as 7-8 year old now 46 and musics still class
Exellent album
I've always felt that no-one else can set the atmosphere of a song so well, using inflection, varying tones, sneers, and an entire array of voices that make a story-song like this so special. He uses the voice he has to perfection.
One of the best songs I ever heard nobody better
Also "Hurricane" ... Epic instrumentation and lyrics (based on a true story).
I'm. Better
I'd love to see a 2 hour movie version of this song 🥴👍
A storytelling masterpiece.
There's a guy here on YT animating storytelling songs like this one.
Hopefully he's going to animate this song as well some day. 🙂👍🏼
The whole Desire album is full of deep portraits that could definitely be articulated as feature length films or novels. Of course Rubin "Hurricane" Carter's story was put to film, but the whole album is surely worthy. Kind of in the same vein as Sean Penn adapting Springsteen's Highway Patrolman into The Indian Runner. Isis, Romance In Durango, and One More Cup of Coffee I visualize as a grand Western trilogy.
Great idea! It’s so “visual”Wonder if Dylan has seen your comment. Let’s hope so…
And I would love to write the script
@@lyleswann6296 One of the greatest albums ever produced, imo!!
Finally this song! Love the Desire album and era.
I've been waiting for this great listen. Bob puts us right there on this crazy and tragic night. What does he think about it? Think I'll grab another beer. I love it!!
Me too!!!
Wish he would do this in his live shows.
My dad introduced me to that song, unintentionally.
What a glorious hymn. 🍻🍻🍻
It took awhile, but yeah... ; )
Be safe, and stay well,
moochie
Black diamond bay and lily, rosemary and the jack of hearts, are such great works of poetry where your imagination runs wild, picturing the screens that reflect the words. Dylan is a genius. Up there with Shakespeare & dickens.
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊
Those are my two favorite Bob Dylan songs. Nice taste
Add stuck in Memphis with the mobile blues again to that.
Yes to both and also visions of johanna ❤
At last on You Tube. This song transports me back to late 1975 and early 1976. One of my faves from Mr.Dylan.
It is heaven to be able to hear these on UA-cam. Dylan's my fave.
You can say that again! Thank goodness for the internet and You Tube. They've enriched my life greatly--and Dylan is my number one pick!.
Scarlett Rivera adds so much to this theatrical melodic performance. Delightful "Desire" and so much more.
She did sound great...she turned a good album into a great album.
Great point. The album is kind of unique in its themes exotic arrangements, and Scarlett's contributions. The album just wouldn't have been the same without her or Jacques Levy either!). I read somewhere that he just happened to see the redhead (he seems drawn to them, at least in his music) walking down the street in Manhattan carrying her violin (at the time she felt discouraged that her modern approach to music had not been as appreciated as she had hoped). I read that he has strong intuitions and I wonder if seeing him sparked the idea of using the instrument....or maybe he was already thinking about using a violin and the Fates sent her his way. He invited her to audition for some new songs, and the rest is history.
@@lordbyron6293 I totally agree. See my comment below.
Scarlet is vastly unappreciated!
This is up there in my top 10 of Bob's songs for me .
Bought this album when it came out . Loved it then , love it now.
Finally, all this beautifull songs are available.
Bob Dylan deserved he Nobel Prize for many reasons, but especially one moreover any other, in my opinion: His art never ends.
"Didn't seem like much was happening
So I turned it off and went to grab another beer"
That award was questionable in a lot of ways.
None I can see !!!!@@dixonpinfold2582
@@dixonpinfold2582 only a blind person would question this award
@@bsnf-5 Fine. Sight is required to judge paintings, sculpture and dance, but not literature.
one of my favourite songs ever. i feel like this story needs to be made into a movie
A whole novel compressed into a 7 minute song Masterful
The drumming on this track is just fantastic, it follows the lyrics storyline bit by bit. This is one of my favorite Dylan songs, I love to listen to it, eyes closed & headphones on, while on the road. It just melts right into my consciousness.
The drumming is great...
It's ahead of the lyrics, which are also Fandango!
Your reaction to this soñg equàtes !
Don't forget the violin.
I totally agree..and was just commenting how much i love the drums on this one!!
I like the writing style of Desire album, each song is like a sequence from films that only Dylan can write.
Yes, his songs evoke incredible imagery and narratives with lots of visual references....no surprise that he's a gifted painter as well! Now I'm inspired to check into films he has been involved with, too, especially Pat Garratt and Billy the Kid's song "knocking on heaven's door"!
@@sherrievavrichek9604
Yes worth checking out Dylan in past films he does have a rather small part in Pat Garret and Billy the kid originally he had much more larger speaking part in the movie but unfortunately most of Dylan’s lines ended up on the cutting room floor .The music he provided is great though.
Of all the things my father gave me throughout his lifetime, the one I truly cherish the most is his love of music (particularly Dylan, The Grateful Dead, Allman Bros., etc.). I can remember playing with transformers on the floor of our family room when I first heard this song and even then, I was throughly intrigued by it. Now, in my 40’s, when I hear this song I am 6 again and for a brief series of moments all of my trauma, anxiety and depression subside. Thank you for sharing this and keeping the legacy of REAL MUSIC alive…
My best track from "Desire" (Dylan's masterpiece from 70's) finally here!
I'm in heaven when this song happens....lost, alone, a tank O Gas, smokes, an open Hiway, thanks Bob!!!!
Dylan, the master story-teller.
I just cannot understand how this song is not famous
Nor me. It may just mean that the world is deaf. Well it is on the most important things. 🌎
It's plenty famous with the people that matter and know anything about music!!!! ❤❤❤
It is
It is. Plebs don't get it...
This isn’t a song-it’s an epic! Brilliant lyrics and clever incongruous upbeat melody. How does Dylan write such amazing songs using ordinary words.Where have I been all these years to have missed this song?
'This isn’t a song-it’s an epic!', that is so well put. He is a film maker, a novelist and a painter in his song writing and life. He deserves an Oscar to go with the Nobel Price for Literature. And you are quite a writer yourself!
@@ejiroejaife7845 Thank you! The internet has allowed me to explore and savor the genius of Dylan--and to celebrate his genius with fellow travelers on his path.
Well you found it, that's the main thing.
Thanks for your comment! I'm trying to catch up for decades missed. I listen to him every day while taking a morning walk--definitely a bright spot during awful weather and the pandemic. Take care!
In fact, Dylan won an Oscar for the song "Things Have Changed." He always has it on stage with him. Usually, on top of an amplifier.
Jesus this song is like a euphoric wave that don't break
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊
Yes, this entire album is a masterpiece. The best of Dylan
After 60years of listening, I agree. It's a fabulous work of art and fantasy. Blood on the tracks comes close.
Seems like every time you turn around
There's another hard luck story you're gonna hear
...and there’s really nothing anyone can say.
My favorite part of the song.
Lyrics
Up on the white veranda
She wears a necktie and a Panama hat
Her passport shows a face
From another time and place
She looks nothing like that
And all the remnants of her recent past
Are scattered in the wild wind
She walks across the marble floor
Where a voice from the gambling room is callin' her to come on in
She smiles, walks the other way
As the last ship sails and the moon fades away
From Black Diamond Bay
As the morning light breaks open, the Greek comes down
And he asks for a rope and a pen that will write
Pardon, monsieur, the desk clerk says
Carefully removes his fez
Am I hearing you right
And as the yellow fog is lifting
The Greek is quickly heading for the second floor
She passes him on the spiral staircase
Thinking he's the Soviet Ambassador
She starts to speak, but he walks away
As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches sway
On Black Diamond Bay
A soldier sits beneath the fan
Doing business with a tiny man who sells him a ring
Lightning strikes, the lights blow out
The desk clerk wakes and begins to shout
Can you see anything
Then the Greek appears on the second floor
In his bare feet with a rope around his neck
While a loser in the gambling room lights up a candle
Says, open up another deck
But the dealer says, attendez-vous, s'il vous plait
As the rain beats down and the cranes fly away
From Black Diamond Bay
The desk clerk heard the woman laugh
As he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got tough
He tried to grab the woman's hand
Said, here's a ring, it cost a grand
She said, that ain't enough
Then she ran upstairs to pack her bags
While a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curb
She passed the door that the Greek had locked
Where a handwritten sign read, do not disturb
She knocked upon it anyway
As the sun went down and the music did play
On Black Diamond Bay
I've got to talk to someone quick
But the Greek said, go away, and he kicked the chair to the floor
He hung there from the chandelier
She cried, help, there's danger near
Please open up the door
Then the volcano erupted
And the lava flowed down from the mountain high above
The soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the corner
Thinking of forbidden love
But the desk clerk said, it happens every day
As the stars fell down and Blooms fade away
On Black Diamond Bay
As the island slowly sank
The loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room
The dealer said, it's too late now
You can take your money, but I don't know how
You'll spend it in the tomb
The tiny man bit the soldier's ear
As the floor caved in and the boiler in the basement blew
While she's out on the balcony, where a stranger tells her
My darling, je vous aime beaucoup
She sheds a tear and then begins to pray
As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away
From Black Diamond Bay
I was sitting home alone one night in L.A.
Watching old Cronkite on the seven o'clock news
It seems there was an earthquake that
Left nothing but a Panama hat
And a pair of old Greek shoes
Didn't seem like much was happening
So I turned it off and went to grab another beer
Seems like every time you turn around
There's another hard-luck story that you're gonna hear
And there's really nothing anyone can say
And I never did plan to go anyway
To Black Diamond Bay
WOW
Thank you Very much
Hi, there's what Dylan songs lyrics say & what he sings in the song: E.G. verse 5: "... as the stars fell down, & the Bloom's fade away..."
@@pauledmiston4883 thanks.. Updated the lyrics.
@@dennisboyd1712 Thanks. I hate not knowing Dylan lyrics as he does them in studio. Tuned in to Bob about , '74. He could alter lyrics on a dime: By the way, I think next chorus (6) is indistinct: "...as (fire?) burns on, and the smoke drifts away..." Thks. for feedback.
.
Let's be honest folks...Desire is the greatest album ever......Greetings from Dublin
Oh yeah my favourite. Hello from Dublin 😁
My fave from the Desire album. All the songs on that album are amazing!!!
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊
Great song and outstanding drums.
Definitely some shit hot drumming
@@XXathleticsXY The drumming throughout the whole record is superb
The drummer is Howie Wyeth. Absolutely love this song and those drums are a big part of it.
Thanks! Now I'll have to go back and listen to the album just to see what you guys are talking about since I was paying attention to so many other aspects of the song and the album!
It's my favourite song on the Desire album. It's underated .
This is a film script , the imagery in this song and its descriptions and absolute poetry, is just sitting there for some film director and script writer to take this to great hights as movie.
Thankyou Bob for getting this song on your channel!
Shout-out to the late great Jacques Levy, co-writer of this album, director of the Rolling Thunder Revue and inexplicably *erased* from the Scorsese documentary.
Great point. Obviously there was something going on behind the scenes....
What a song, lyrically, musically. What a singer. What a great companions in the band.
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊
Such a great Song ... still and again, and again, and again ... thnx so much to Bob Dylan und here for sharing!
Thanks for the multitude of gifts Bob Dylan !
As storytelling goes this is up there with Lily Rosemary etc. Absolutely epic, I just love it
I like this one even better, I find the music of Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts to be kinda grating after a while, especially on such a tender album like Blood on the Tracks. I find this song to have a better melody and chord progression and the instrumentation and backing vocals just lift it to another level.
Stuck in mobile with the Memphis blues again is a story that is a true master piece.as well as lily rosemary,tangled up in blue and hurricane.come in she said, I'll give you shelter from the storm.
@@brettallison5753 DITTO to everything you said!!! Had to do do a double take because I thoughtI had written it!! ❤❤❤
@@patriciofernandez2711 Great song for sure. Brownsville Girl is my favourite Dylan "story song".
The best
A truly great song in every regard that never really received the recognition it deserves. I particularly love the last verse because it completely embodies how Americans view the world.
Simply he is the best
The rhyme scheme is pure genius.
46 years ago today on jan 5th 1976 this was released
What an amazing song .... !!! That first line .... Sells it ... A story you cant beat .. except the rhythm is so unique and full of life and so smart !!! And the melody as it fits in ... a most perfect song ....
On Black Diamond Bay !!!!
I see a
Movie every time i hear this ,So vivid and sad and funny at the same time …
Love it ! What a masterpiece
awesome
God i miss those times...
Love this song album is like a movie
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Forever Dylan, simply the best!
Written brilliantly.
One of the premiere dylan sagas from the late 70s
Emmylou!!
I smile! Love so much this song and the whole Desire!
I just thought of this song after seeing footage of the La Palma volcano on the news. Oh well, I don't know what to say, I never did plan to go to the Canaries anyway.
RIGHTEOUS
Desire.....a very underrated Dylan album
Beautiful timeless like the great man himself 🎸
Such a colorful album. Appreciate it every time I listen to it. The entire album is excellent.
It's a masterpiece to me
Every song on Desire is great great stories
@@johnlucas8164 Yes, every song on Desire is a masterpiece!
I,ve been a major Dylan fan since the first album I bought in '63 or '64 . Somehow I missed this song . how lucky to find such a classic when I thought I'd heard them all !!!
This was my first Dylan album to hear, ever. I was wandering around Dublin, around 1988, looking for a Stephen Bishop record called 'Red Cab To Manhattan'. I found it in a crappy little music store on Talbot Street, bought it and brought it home, without checking what was inside. Inside was Desire. I put it on the turntable and the first song I heard was 'Joey'. Mum said 'That's Bob Dylan. You should listen to him. He tells stories. I've been listening ever since..
I love so much different music but this.....if I had to choose, this album would have to be my favorite. There is just so much different stuff that is beautiful about it. I could talk about it all day. A true masterpiece in every sense of the word. It's the glue that keeps my family reminded of the joy in our youth. For me, there's just nothing cooler than that! Thanks Bob.
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊
Dylan is Dylan!!!!
What a song! Just another obscure genius Dylan album track. Brilliant. Everytime I hear it I'll be thinking about it for the next week. Thanks Bob & Emmylou
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊
BOB at his best...
One thing I really love on this song is the drum fills -- so great 👍
One of the stand out tracks from Bob's BEST LP. Superlative songwriting
Ya, but what about Street Legal? Pure poetry.
@@maryseery7824 Street-Legal is more of a mystical, puzzling album. I love them for different reasons. Though I firmly believe that Changing of the Guards is one of Dylan's best songs.
I’m with you. Street Legal 1, Desire 2nd but it’s oh so close!
@@maryseery7824 I’m with you! Street Legal is the one!
Nothing beats Another Side for me.
Best Album period.
Rolling Thunder Feeling. full of spirit - wish I had seen it live . Bob Dylan seemed so relaxed, in tune with himself..I Love These Songs from Desire and all the Toursongs too- Magic Mystey Tour..
I was lucky enough to see them in Portland Maine. It was a great show you would have loved it
Those tours were mystical.
Thank you very nuch, sir Dylan...History will mention you in the future as 'one of the best'
Every song on this album is beyond incredible!
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊
awesome! what a stash of youtube uploads from dylan! thanks!!
👍🤩🍀✌🔊
Scarlet Rivera's violin works so well on this album. Saw Dylans Rolling Thunder Review in 74 or 75 in Gainesville Fl. It was one of the most memorable concerts I've been to.
1976
The drums really make this song. Not sure who it is ,but it's classic !!
Howie Wyeth
Very romantic song
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊
The violin and the harmonica just go perfectly together in this one. The rhythm, the singing... Just awesome.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot; the lyrics aren't shabby either. (< understatement)
How about that drumming!
🎶 a favorite song from my favorite
Bob Dylan album 🎶
Helloo!! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it! See you!! 😊

THE BEST DYLAN SONG

Everywhere is Black Diamond Bay now
