![Bob Dylan - Mr. Tambourine Man (Live, 1964) [REACTION VIDEO] | Rebeka Luize Budlevska](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/L_VV10rkKYA/mqdefault.jpg)
There's a reason he won the Nobel Prize. To think, we grew up with music like this. We were so blessed, and we knew it.
He's a "dope lyricist"--excellent! Well you may know that he is the only song lyricist who has won a Nobel Prize for Literature. Yep, he's all that.
Bob Dylan is literally a one-man band. Can play two instruments at once and sing. Legend.
I was born in 64. I'm the last year of boomers. My husband loved Dylan. I got tickets to see him about 12 years ago. He was obsessed. My husband recently passed. He woukd have love binge listening to all the music you're reacting to. Thank you.
1950 here. I'm sorry you lost your man, Lori. Your still so young.
I'm sorry for the loss of your husband. But, it sounds like you two were made for each other. Peace.
I was born in 1964 too. I really do think we were so lucky to have been brought up with all these wonderful singers/groups. We had the best of times. 🎼🎶
So sorry for your loss. ❤❤
Born 67...
In 2016 Bob Dylan became a Nobel Laureate of Literature that put him in the same league of people as Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, William Yeats, Sartre, George Bernard Shaw and many more great of the literary world pretty impressive
You called Dylan "a weary soul," and I reckon that captures his depth and aura. He was a young man with a lot of soul.
Wikipedia-While there has been speculation that the song is about drugs, particularly with lines such as "take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship" and "the smoke rings of my mind", Dylan has denied the song is about drugs. Though he was smoking marijuana at the time the song was written, Dylan was not introduced to LSD until a few months later. Outside of drug speculation, the song has been interpreted as a call to the singer's spirit or muse, or as a search for transcendence. In particular, biographer John Hinchey has suggested in his book Like a Complete Unknown that the singer is praying to his muse for inspiration; Hinchey notes that ironically the song itself is evidence the muse has already provided the sought-after inspiration. The figure of Mr. Tambourine Man has sometimes been interpreted as a symbol for Jesus or the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The song may also reference gospel music themes, with Mr. Tambourine Man being the bringer of religious salvation.
Dylan has cited the influence of Federico Fellini's movie La Strada on the song, while other commentators have found echoes of the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud. Author Howard Sounes has identified the lyrics "in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you" as having been taken from a Lord Buckley recording. Bruce Langhorne, who performs guitar on the track, has been cited by Dylan as the inspiration for the tambourine man image in the song. Langhorne used to play a giant, four-inch-deep "tambourine" (actually a Turkish frame drum), and had brought the instrument to a previous Dylan recording session.
Bob Dylan was primarily a poet. His lyrics and social commentary provided a voice for our times back then (I'm 72 now). He even has his lyrics out in a book. His voice was perfect for his songs.
Just bought that book of lyrics. So interesting!
The day Bob sat down his acoustic guitar halfway through a concert and picked up the electric we'll live in infamy forever
That was 1 year after this performance at the same festival.
Saw him 3 times and never liked his electric guitar concerts. The best was with the Band
Dylan is still alive and performing, y'all. He's 82.
He's 83...born may 24th 1941.
I'm not a big Dylan fan but "Lay Lady Lay" is worthy of the forever playlist.... excellent excellent song.
@rwarner06b03d • And maybe "Knockin On Heaven's Door" ?
Just Lay Lady Lay? I don't believe you!....Just quoting...
It's poetry.... not a textbook.... it literally means whatever you hear in it
Well said!!!
Exactly! Thank you 67' Pontiac GTO (no less).
Agree. Not important to overanalyse. Just go with it!✨✨
The '64 Newport Folk Festival is when Bob met Johnny Cash. They had been corresponding for months and were overjoyed to finally meet. They did 3 collaborations.
When Johnny died Bob said "John was the North Star, you could guide your ship by him. The greatest of the greats, then and now". Bob has been performing a lot of Johnny's music on the tour he is currently on with Willie Nelson, Billy Strings and Robert Palmer.
Dylan was considered to be a genius poet during an era where music was often considered only a conveyance for truth found only in poetry. We were a "seeking" generation.
I love the line from another song: "but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now".
"Mr. Tambourine Man" brings back memories of my late boyfriend who was killed while we were still in high school (mid 60s). He introduced me to Bob Dylan. I shall be eternally grateful❤. I listened to this song endlessly the day I found out he had been killed.
Thank you, David! RIP❤❤
The song with that line is called "My Back Pages." Both that song and "Hey Mr. Tamborine Man" were recorded by the Byrds, and got more airplay than Dylan's.
That line is from "My Back Pages" another gem.
You have to hear Like a Rolling Stone, Subterranean Homesick Blues and Hurricane.
Just an FYI, in this video, Bob was introduced by another absolute folk legend, Pete Seeger. Pete is famous for writing/singing songs including, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", "If I had a Hammer", "Little Boxes", and the anti-Vietnam song "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy."
I think that Mr. Tambourine man is a metaphor. It was a calling to throw off old, burdensome norms and follow a vision of love/peace etc.
Sometimes a cigar is only smoke that being said my favorite Dylan line is, "I wish you could stand inside my shoes then you'd know what a drag it is to see you" from the song "Positively Fourth Street"
The beauty of Dylan's poetry is that each time you visit it you see more than you did the last time. His phrases have reverberated in my brain for years.
I think Mr Tambourine Man is not a person, but represents the power of music to 'make you forget about today until tomorrow'.
Thanks kinda what I always thought that he was a meaphor for music's ability to transport you out of your reality.
There really was a Mr Tambourine man that inspired this song. Just like a master poet, he wrote in a way that it can have literal, metorphical, and symbolic means.
That's a very nice way to interprete the song.
Bob Dylan was the Poet Lauriat of our generation. My first love was folk music. Pete Seeger was the one who introduced him in this clip. Bob Dylan’s song “The Times They are A’changing” was theme song for my graduation in 1975.
I just checked something out. Dylan was only 23 years old during this performance 🎉 genius poet.
BP - I think you'd like The Hurricane by Dylan. It was written in 1970. You'll want to bring up the Google. I won't tell you what it's about but you will want to know more once you listen.
Also, waaayyy back when I was a youngin we actually had a semester class on Rock Poetry (damn I sound old lol). We studied some of the greats including Dylan and Don McLean. So don't worry that you don't understand during the 1st listen. It takes a few.
One of the greatest writers of the 60's and 70's. When I listen to Neil Young, it reminds me of Dylan
Like a rolling stone is one of my Bob favorites ❤Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Dylan's had about 12-14 different singing voices over his career (this was somewhere around number 3). He started out by imitating, at least to some degree, Woody Guthrie and Rambling Jack Elliott, and then started pushing his writing in new directions and adapting his voice to meet the needs of his lyrics.
He is a lyrical poet Another great from my home state of Minnesota I love Tangled up in blue
I was about to mention Tangled up in Blue, great song covered by more artists than I can count, just like many of Bobs songs.
@@mikeconkle6182 when I own a yacht I want to name it tangled up in blue ❤️a girl can dream lol
Well, Bob has almost 800 songs out so you have plenty more to listen to. Bob is King, just ask the musician's. Enjoy the journey!
As I posted above, I am still waiting for a Prince/Dylan duet of All Along the Watchtower. It would be EPIC
Dylan was a voice of the day and brought forward the thoughts young people were being introduced to while boys were being sent to Vietnam ….all while dropping acid in the background. I think Mr. tambourine man is his youth which was lost forever as a new age was dawning.
He's a damn legend. Best songwriter of all time.
The Band and The Staples, The Weight, (The Last Waltz).🙏🏼❤
First Thankyou from the bottom ofve love the music ofve my life. I'm 72. .my grandchildren don't understand. But you bring me back to those days. Appreciate the honesty of your exploriation ofve our generation. THANKYOU! Born in 1952. A true baby boomer!
Myself 1953
76 here and I agree!
1952 as well
The Byrds cover version of "Mr Tambourine Man" in 1965, became the first US "folk rock" smash hit! 😊
Absolutely. I was 14 and it blew me away...... they planted a longing in my soul and I didn´t know what I was longing for.
Like the Byrds version better...
This is one of Bob Dylan's "big" songs, but "Like a Rolloing Stone", "Blowin in the Wind" and "Tangled Up in Blue" may be bigger.
This is so very awesome! He is an icon. This was done 60 years ago! I was 8 years old. Love your reaction.
You will drive yourself crazy trying to figure out lyrics during this time period.Hes poetry in music
Allowing thoughts to consider what it might mean is important, not crazy. Good art doesn't answer, it questions. We walk around with amazing computers in our pockets, using them to provide directions in many ways, to provide the right answer, but THE answer is almost always wrong. And certainly dangerous.
Didn't say is was crazy.I said it could drive you crazy.For me I don't have to know what the song is about to enjoy it.Ask Bob Dylan what it's about and he said it's about a tambourine man.Good enough for me
I love Bob Dylan. He’s truly one of a kind and a true poet. ❤️✌🏻🎶
To me, Mr. Tambourine sounds like his muse, the inspiration for his songs that he has followed and will continue to follow through all the conditions that life throws at him. If someone asked Dylan where he gets the inspiration for all the profound songs he has written, I imagine this song is how he would answer them.
Bob Dylan went on a total life's journey with his music. He pretty much evolved through the years. Multiple genre person for sure. From Folk to Rock to Country to Rock again to Christian. You name it Bob's done it. I believe Mark Knofler of Dire Straits helped him record some of his Christian music of which he has made 2 albums. They came out around 1980. I was pregnant then so it is easy for me to remember.
Tangled up in Blue is a personal favorite.
This is the same year the Beatles came to USA and all music stepped up to new heights. He started a lot of real music and inspired us all.
In American Pie Dylan is referred to as the Jester that stole the King's crown.
In my opinion, Bob Dylan was as influential to music culture as the Beatles, if not more so. Not so much for his vocal abilities, but for his dynamic use of complex, interesting lyrics. For this, he's considered to be one of the greatest songwriters in history. He had already started out as an influential, acoustic folk singer (as exemplified by the songs on his early albums, especially my favorite: "The Feewheelin' Bob Dylan"). But when he decided to "plug in his guitar" in the mid-sixties....OMG....a friggin major milestone in rock history. Of course, the backlash Dylan received from folk music purists at the time was huge. But....Dylan was a trailblazer; one of the first artists to expertly show that songs with complex, thoughful lyrics work well in the rock genre. Look to three of his most influential rock albums of the 1960s (ie, when Dylan made his move from acoustic folk and blues music to rock): "Bringing It All Back Home", "Highway 61 Revisited" (both 1965) and "Blonde on Blonde". (1966). Amazing!!!
Agreed
Like A Rolling Stone is a must
The best poet of our age.
Nobody writes like Dylan. Nobody.
so many great tracks from this man...one of my favorites was covered by Jimi Hendrix - "All Along the Watchtower"... also "The Times they are a Changin'" is unbelievable
There are SO MANY great Dylan songs. His Desire album is one of my top 10... every song on there is good... no filler There is a song on there called Hurricane I would recommend. It is a true story about boxer Rubin Carter.
Much love from Maine and keep doin what ya do ❤
"Let me forget about today until tomorrow..." yup, that.
I'm 73 and grew up with this music and would not trade it for any other generation. Brings so many great memories
I have always loved Bob Dylan such a once in a lifetime human being.
"Hurricane" is a must hear!
BP Bob Dylan is just a poet with song.
In an interview with Ed Bradley, he was asked What does he think of being the greatest songwriter ever his response was I’m a poet I just turned my poetry into music.
BP, congratulations! Hopeful Baby & Mom are well. As for Dylan, his most famous song...Like a Rolling Stone. And, Blowing in the Wind. You might like to compare his song, knocking on Heavens Door, with the Guns n Roses cover.🙂
One last thing he wrote blowing in the wind in 10 minutes sitting in the park. It is an American classic. ! Check out like a Rolling Stone positively fourth Street it ain’t me Babe is just a list that goes on and on and on ! One of my all-time favorites, just like a woman unbelievable
I never got into Bob Dylan till just a few years ago. I always knew this one in a couple others but one of my favourite is hurricane.
The Byrds did the song, and it became a masterpiece with Barry McGuire on his twelve-string guitar... back in the 60's
Don't think twice, It's all Right; It Ain't Me, Babe; and The Time's They are a changing are my favorite Bob Dylan songs. I like that you have an open mind about the older stuff. They opened the doors for everyone that followed.
"I'm ready for to fade into my own parade. Cast your dancing spell my way. I promise to go under it". Yeah, the Riddler strikes again, but the good thing about Dylan is that whatever impression the song gives you, whatever it makes you feel...That's what it means.
You need to check out 'The Hurricane " by Bob Dylan!! Powerful stuff that can actually bring injustice to light and slowly get results!!
I would love to see a reaction video to that song, it’s so powerful!
You’re seeing history.
I have always taken Mr. Tambourine as a song about Dylan's drive to create. When he has the creative drive he is following the Tambourine man. When you cast your spell I "promise to fall under it" is a key line to me. I would not dare to try to pick each line. There is a reason this man won the Noble Prize for literature. If you like deep meanings try "Visions of Johanna" or "Highway 61 Revisited" of Subterranean Homesick Blues". It's rabbit hole that could fill your life.
Remember the song Ameria Pie? ‘The Jester,’ McLean was talking about is Dylan.
Once Dylan gets in your head it's there for ever ❤️
1. Subterranean Homesick Blues
2. Like a Rolling Stone
I wish I could like this video more than once. That harmonica, I feel it in my soul. This is one of my absolute favorites.
3:32 My favorite song from Bob Dylan is Knockin' On Heaven's Door. Mr Tambourine Man comes in second and third Everybody Must Get Stoned.
Such an amazing writer! I’ve never thought he could sing good, not at all, but I LOVE HIS SONGS! 🤷🏻♂️
I’m looking forward to seeing Dylan, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp in Pittsburgh in September! Just a grandma going to enjoy the music that has soundtracked my life!
Bobby Dylan probably the greatest storyteller of our time! You want a great story? Try "Tangled Up In Blue". You won't be disappointed.
Bob Dylan is his own style
I love that you want to know what a song is about , I'm like that too.
So blessed to be born in the generation of such beautiful music! Absolutely love Dylan💛
His catalog is insane but two of my favorites is “Don’t think twice it’s alright” and if your curious for another vibe from him “Gotta Serve Somebody” is a must🔥
Thanks BP! Loving the throwbacks❣️
Sir, imagine to be a military man coming home haunted, by what you saw. And there is this Hippie with the tambourine, helping you to forget, for a moment. It was the Vietnam-Era.
I don't know if Mr. Tambourine Man was a street performer or a studio musician but
Dylan was tired, too tired to perform and just wanted to listen, letting his mind
wander wherever. I get this way but usually my thoughts head towards the atmosphere
to be forgotten like yesterday's clouds but Dylan remembered them and put it into
words and music. Dylan has a fantastic memory, reading pages of a novel once
and putting them into his own lyrics. His knack of internal rhymes helps him to
recall the verses of his songs like the troupidors of old, going from town to
village to town for a meal and a place to lay down for the night.
The best interpretation I’ve heard, of many over the years, is that Mr. Tambourine Man is the personification of the creative writing process. I’ve heard Dylan in interviews speak, as so many songwriters have, of the way in which songs often come to him and tend to write themselves in a wave of creativity such that he can barely take credit for consciously creating.
“Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.”
Looking at those lyrics, the interpretation seems to fit. Anyway, check out the originally recorded album version which is IMO far better.
Harmonica is such a soulful instrument
Bob Dylan os a great musical poet who can take you on the journey through emotions ❤
You should do Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of hearts by Dylan. Great story really fun song.
I played bob dylan songs 24-7 for six months on a rotation cd player
One of the greatest singer songwriters of the 60’s. You really should react to Like a Rolling Stone. I think it’ll be right up your alley. Especially lyrically.
I have to say Sarah is one of my favourite Dylan tracks, of the Desire album, also one of my favourite Dylan albums 😊
This is very open to interpretation. Dylan is famous for the interpretability of his songs, rarely going into great detail if any detail at all about meaning or purpose. That's one of the things that makes him so special - a true poet.
I've always invisioned "Mr. Tambourine Man" to be similar to that of Gandalf the Grey [movie version]. An old wise man, seemingly imortal and unworldly. Someobe you frequently go to for comfort and refuge - yet is seemingly never present. A chance to escape from reality and gain wisdom imposibble to be given by man. The "song" is exactly that - advice; seemingly magic that is fit erfectly to each person and their needs. (And about as much weed, too, lol)
Bob Dylan has been recording and touring for over six decades. There are a lot of hit songs that he recorded in the 1960s and 1970s.
After you react to all of them, please react to the 1984 Bob Dylan song/ music video, “Jokerman”, from his 1984 album, “Infidels”.
This song is highlighted in the movie "Dangerous Minds" with Michelle Pfifer. The movie that Coolio's "Gangstas Paradise" was in. They say that the"tambourine man" was a drug dealer in the movie.
That was Pete Server introducing Dylan. Server is worth listening to as well. 😉
Pete Seeger
😆
Damn that auto correct!
His voice changed a bit after he stopped smoking. I would suggest “ Lay Lady Lay” or “The Times are a Changing “
While many of his songs lack a story we can discern, a good number of his songs are stories. I would suggest your next Dylan song be a story. As he has written over 600 songs, there is a myriad of choices. My suggestion would be "Tangled Up In Blue", "Forever Young" or "Like A Rolling Stone". I've not gone deep here as these are songs that any Dylan newbie should start off with but they are classics for a reason. Enjoy.
Bob has a lot of huge hits!! I don’t think you can choose a biggest hit! Everyone has a different song they would put that claim on! Dylan has the most unique voice. There is never mistaking his voice!!
Favourite Bob Dylan song! Quick! C'mon, c'mon!
And once you make that choice, which is your favourite star in the Milky Way?
He is a gifted lyricist for sure, but when I was young I could not appreciate it because I did not love his voice. As I got older and wiser I became enlightened 😂 great reaction, I love it when a song makes you so curious that you have to grab the phone! 😁❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Apparently, "Mr Tambourine Man" is not really about drugs, but they were definitely an influence during its creation. Lines like "Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship" are kind of obvious red flags. 😀
The song, according to Dylan, was inspired by a folk musician named Bruce Langhorne. Langhorne played on some of Dylan's early recording sessions, and one day, Dylan's producer, Tom Wilson, asked him to play tamborine. Dylan was struck by the sheer size of the instrument, describing it as "this gigantic tambourine...big as a wagon wheel." The vision of Langhorne playing it stuck in his mind and led him to the song.
It was also influenced by french poet and an italian filmmaker.
I always thought Mr Tambourine Man was Bob’s drug dealer. The imagery of “smoke rings in my mind” and what he’s talking about sounds like someone on something psychedelic.
But I read Dylan somewhere Dylan wrote this song after hearing a story about these refugees hiding from the nazis in WW2. Somebody came one day with a tambourine. It was the first instrument the refugees had seen in so long; they begged him to play it.
He’s also said it’s about Jesus I believe. Bob Dylan is like Eminem with the double and triple entredes.
He also said it was about a real person. 😅
@@scapito I remember hearing that. What’s the story there? Bruce Langhorne?
@@MrTambourineMan. I don't remember who it was, but someone that inspired him.
if want to hear Dylan being direct try Hurricane, a true story about Rueben Carter a black boxer being wrongly convicted of murder, to say Dylan was pissed is an understatement and he turned his anger into an incredible song. Alternately you could try If You See Her Say Hello, a straight forward broken hearted love song. He wrote in every conceivable style and level of complexity..
Bob has famously never entertained any reporter who asks about the meaning of his songs. He answered one such question with "My songs are mathematical. I use words like other people use numbers". I like it that way. Just enjoy the wordplay and mystery without explanation.
Our time is passing ( it seems quickly ) but these are the songs of our youth. If you have heard, Mr.Bojangles, it is the same concept, perhaps a little more melancholy.
Dylan's "With God on our Side" is one to make you think.
Rainy day woman 12 and 35 was always my favorite
Some more popular Dylan songs include "All along the watchtower", ”Make you feel my love ", "Knocking on Heaven's door ", and "Forever young ".
If you like Bob's harmonica playing you should check out the songs "Just Like a Woman' and "Tangled Up in Blue." Great stuff and beautiful harmonica playing.
Bob is too much..
One man..no drums..no bass..fuckin' unreal!!
Pure genius..
Shakespeare with a guitar!!!
( I said that)
The poet laureate of our time.
