My advice to any young person is to put all the music you hear and don’t like, take it and put it on a playlist and as you get older and start going through tough times go back and listen to the same old songs and really listen to them and I guarantee you as you get older you won’t wanna listen to anything else. It’s not that you don’t like the music, you simply don’t understand it or relate to it. God bless you the reader.
Not true to me ,I'm a guitar player...still like a lot of music I grew up with...on the other hand ,there are some (I wonder why I like that )...so it varies
Good advice! I’m 82 ! Been waiting all these years for the access to music as on UA-cam now I can hear the music I had missed ! Now I can enjoy Dylan fully !
"I’ll avenge my father’s death then I’ll step back. Walkin’ with a toothache in my heel" Dylan singing about Jesus with a aching heel who crushed satan the murderer of Adam (and us). This is a great and powerfull song.
@@thescramble4309 I really enjoyed that album I think its his best out of "Love and Theft" and "Modern times" , "Can't wait" has to be my favorite song from "Time out of mind".
"All my loyal and my much-loved companions They approve of me and share my code I practice a faith that's been long abandoned Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road"...

@Kerry Bindon, thanks for a so well said answer! 'There's no one here, the gardener is gone... Ain't talkin', just walkin'...Up the road, around the bend...In the last outback at the world's end". That's it, isn't it? It was a pleasure to meet you here, so as having some conversation.
I swear there's no one that comes even close to Bob on good lyrics, it's like he's the only person that says those stuff, your anguish and deep yearning for wonder wanted you to say all along, and even the intonation is meaningful and so cool, as he says, oh my goodness! If someone knows more artists or even just songs with this kind of philosophical undertones, please, please share them.
I would have to Say John Prine of whom Dylan had high praise for also TVZ of whom Dylan loved and covered one of His tunes . Man gave names to all The Animals. All 3 Artists Music were the same in the fact that that filled a different Void in this Atmosphere They Complimented each other Like the Father , Son and Holy Ghost. A Trinity if You will
There is no-one who writes songs with the "philosopical undertones" you are looking for. This is one of the chief reasons that Dylan is such a very special artist.
I am 77 and my husband is 79, and my experience of the past few years of rediscovering all my favorite songs from the 1960s thru 1980s is that a few have taken on new meaning. I was always a love song person and listening again a half century later just brings back nostalgic, happy memories, but a few songs have special new meaning. I have rediscovered "People Get Ready" sung by The Impressions. The words are especially meaningful as my husband and I face our own mortality and have faced the deaths of close family and friends. I enjoy looking up who wrote my favorite songs and the composers and singers' biographies. I was surprised that Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck wrote "People Get Ready" when the words are a Black Spiritual about every human's journey to the afterlife.
The way the entire song is in a minor key until the last ringing chord, which is major... it makes it seem like there's a happy ending hidden in there somewhere. I like it.
The proper name for this is the "Tierce de Picardie". It was hugely common in minor-key music from the 16th to 18th centuries. Check out most of Bach's minor-key fugues. Paradoxically it often emphasises the feeling of sadness in the piece.
It is the Sahara sandstorm of life.The nomadic journey has its trials and tribulations but is never dull.The anguish and tears, the unrequited love, simple joy of living and loving, paradise lost and found, the walkabout and magical didgeridoo leading to the everlasting. Lyrics for the bravehearts who never leave their post.Thank you this brilliance has depth and perception like a blue eyed sheikh.
You are Amazing Bob...I love your lyrics...I love you....I still walking too, and still talking.....and so glad to have you around....O yes they have tried all that crushing and pushing.......but we will get Heavenly Aid......God ❤ Bless you...xxxxxxxx
"I’ll avenge my father’s death then I’ll step back. Walkin’ with a toothache in my heel" Dylan singing about Jesus with a aching heel who crushed satan the murderer of Adam (and us). This is a great and powerfull song. Actually a lot of Dylan's songs after the seventies are all about his Hero and the prince of darkness.
In July of 2006, after several years of occasionally suicidal depression, after months of under- and unemployment having crippled me socially and dissolved almost all of my friendships, completely estranged from my entire family and living overseas from them, my fiancee announces to me that she's pregnant, and probably not from me. I have a complete and completely unmedicated breakdown. I didn't speak for weeks and could ONLY walk--did it continuously, 12+ hours a day, listening to the complete Robert Johnson on my discman. Then, a month later, this comes out.
Being listening since I was 14years of age in 1964. 75 years now and still listen to a selection on a regular basis. He is a living legend. unsurpassed !!!!
Bob you paint a picture of your words. Another story that keeps your attention. I love the way you work a story to awesome music. You are a lyrical master

Ah! This official version has landed on UA-cam! Fantastic! I tried to make my own music video to this song with all my favourite Western clips but UA-cam wasn't having it! My favourite Bob Dylan track, legend!
"As I walked out in the mystic garden, on a hot summer day, hot summer lawn. Excuse me m'am, I beg your pardon. There's no one here, the gardener is gone.. Ain't talkin, just walkin Up the road around the bend. Heart burnin, still yearnin. In the last outback at the world's end."
Never became a major fan of Bob Dylan tell this year and I'm 61 now and looking back that has lyrics he is really one of the best songwriters I ever heard
Such a deeply amazing song and Bob's voice just reverberates in the chest! This song gives me so much hope because it is doesn't get more real than this! But unlike it says I would never worry about slaying any enemy because I just need to stand in the armor of Ephesians 6 and trust that things come out alright at the end. King Saul went after David like a dog after a bone to kill him but when David came across Saul and all his army slumbering he could have slayed them all but he left it all up to God, Who's love and wisdom are unmatched and cannot be rivaled. This song makes me think of that and so much more! The feelings and thoughts in this song are so poetically honest! Thank you Bob Dylan! ❤ God Bless you always and in all ways! I pray for you every day brother! 🙌
Oh my God is so awesome to give the world a magnificent gift like you Bob. I love the way you look at the world and put it to music. Lyrics are your attribute. Love you Bob

Thank you but you missed verse 6 and chorus 6 in this 9 verse 9 chorus song. Verse & chorus 6: All my loyal and much loved companions, they approve of me and share my code. I practise a faith that's been long abandoned, ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road. Ain't talkin, just walkin my mule is sick my horse is blind. Heart burning, still yearnin.

LYRICS: As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden The wounded flowers were dangling from the vine I was passing by yon cool crystal fountain Someone hit me from behind Ain't talking, just walking Through this weary world of woe Heart burning, still yearning No one on earth would ever know They say prayer has the power to heal So pray for me, mother In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell I am trying to love my neighbor and do good unto others But oh, mother, things ain't going well Ain't talking, just walking I'll burn that bridge before you can cross Heart burning, still yearning There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost Now I'm all worn down by weeping My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry If I catch my opponents ever sleeping I'll just slaughter them where they lie Ain't talking, just walking Through the world mysterious and vague Heart burning, still yearning Walking through the cities of the plague. Well, the whole world is filled with speculation The whole wide world which people say is round They will tear your mind away from contemplation They will jump on your misfortune when you're down Ain't talking, just walking Eating hog eyed grease in a hog eyed town. Heart burning, still yearning Some day you'll be glad to have me around. They will crush you with wealth and power Every waking moment you could crack I'll make the most of one last extra hour I'll revenge my father's death then I'll step back Ain't talking, just walking Hand me down my walking cane. Heart burning, still yearning Got to get you out of my miserable brain. All my loyal and my much-loved companions They approve of me and share my code I practice a faith that's been long abandoned Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road Ain't talking, just walking My mule is sick, my horse is blind. Heart burning, still yearning Thinking about that girl I left behind. Well, it's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flying Fame and honor never seem to fade The fire gone out but the light is never dying Who says I can't get heavenly aid? Ain't talking, just walking Carrying a dead man's shield Heart burning, still yearning Walking with an ache in my heel The suffering is unending Every nook and cranny has its tears I'm not playing, I'm not pretending I'm not nursing any superfluous fears Ain't talking, just walking Walking ever since the other night. Heart burning, still yearning Walking until I'm clean out of sight. As I walked out in the mystic garden On a hot summer day, a hot summer lawn Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon There's no one here, the gardener is gone Ain't talking, just walking Up the road, around the bend. Heart burning, still yearning In the last outback at the world's end.
@@AvnerSenderowicz Those lyrics are good enough to be posted twice, because "there are secrets in em that I can't disguise, and if I hurt your feelings, I apologize. I just came to you, because you're a friend of mine". (..haha. )
You're not wrong, and I agree with you, but this song came out nearly twenty years ago... Twenty years after Blowin' in the Wind, Dylan was singing Jokerman. The man has been around forever. And he is immortal.
@ yes I know - I bought Infidels when it came out in the 80’s..I should have been more specific.. he,he,he.. I was referring to his more recent stuff - When the Deal Goes Down - Key West .. etc. Don’t worry I’m the biggest Bob fan ever. All the best buddy.
What sticks out to me on this song is the line "the whole world is filled with speculation they will tear your mind away from contemplation". There seems to be a line in one of the Dylan songs for every situation in life we encounter. MASTERFUL. Even Buddha would have agreed with Bob on this one as he said that life is suffering.
"I’ll avenge my father’s death then I’ll step back. Walkin’ with a toothache in my heel" Dylan singing about Jesus with a aching heel who crushed satan the murderer of Adam (and us). This is a great and powerfull song. Actually a lot of Dylan's songs after the seventies are all about his Hero and the prince of darkness.
Not only that I swore among other prophetic visions I received I swore I saw a giant Gardner about 20 foot high sitting on stage as if following the concert tour from another dimension as if he chose Dylan as his favourite human being!
wow. i listened to this song once but beacause it was from one of the "recent, bad albums", did not pay attention. today i did. WOW! best accompanied by strong whiskey. unfortunately, i gave up drinking. but this song makes me want to drink. but i will now smoke my pipe (since no one else will :O) ) thank you mr Bob! and an early Happy Birthday to you. you remain The Man!
A am drunk as fucked and unemployed and living in sweden (small S). There is no safety net here at all for native sweds and I am loosing it bad! And the only thing I got left is my exceptional good taste of music! And I rather die broke drunk and oppressed than give the only good thing about me away. What I mean is that this is a great song ;)
God Bless you brother, Remember God is Music and love, and everything good...keep your faith and your hood taste in music, and you'll get by...Greetings from Dublin 🇮🇪Ireland.....Charity should begin at 🏡home...take care xx
My horse is sick my mule is blind...ever since jokerman infidels we are given an epic leviathan unmatched by any other recording artist and maybe another song particularly brilliant as Dylan fulfills obligations to finish album for contractual reasons. Quite often unfortunately audiences don't realise genius and prefer other lesser mortals and once again he's lost people. Who says I can't get heavenly aid?
@@mariamartin94 It does yes!!! And of course I have peered into the Rabbit hole... Can you direct me upon my journey ? I found some jazz but not sure if I am the fool here or onto something lol ................
@@raindeerprojekt4119 I am no expert on the subject. It's more of a strong gut feeling or intuitive thing for me. I don't think the flat earthers have it right, though. Do you?
@@raindeerprojekt4119 Some more thoughts on the subject. Have you read Genesis (in the Bible) and are you familiar with the Book of Enoch (ever wonder why it's "forbidden")?
@@mariamartin94 Yes.. Familiar with the Bible..and Skiba , You know Skiba? I just met with Mark Sargent recently in a cafe outside Olympia...

So do you understand it? Who’s song is it? I mean who is the subject. It is not Bob.
Hard to believe it was written in 2006. Dylan, after all these years, was still able to write a masterpiece. He never lost it, he still got it.
His last albums were the best

Another one of his many underrated songs. The absolute best and greatest song writer in history.
Another one of Bob's Greatest songs written in History.
Yeah these new rock stars ain't him
This song is one of Dylan’s hidden gems.
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
The wounded flowers were dangling from the vine
I was passing by yon cool crystal fountain
Someone hit me from behind
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Through this weary world of woe
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
No one on earth would ever know
They say prayer has the power to heal
So pray from the mother
In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell
I am a-tryin' to love my neighbor and do good unto others
But oh, mother, things ain't going well
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
I'll burn that bridge before you can cross
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost
Now I'm all worn down by weeping
My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry
If I catch my opponents ever sleeping
I'll just slaughter 'em where they lie
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Through the world mysterious and vague
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' through the cities of the plague
Well, the whole world is filled with speculation
The whole wide world which people say is round
They will tear your mind away from contemplation
They will jump on your misfortune when you're down
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Eatin' hog-eyed grease in a hog-eyed town
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Some day you'll be glad to have me around
They will crush you with wealth and power
Every waking moment you could crack
I'll make the most of one last extra hour
I'll avenge my father's death then I'll step back
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Hand me down my walkin' cane
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Got to get you out of my miserable brain
All my loyal and my much-loved companions
They approve of me and share my code
I practice a faith that's been long abandoned
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
My mule is sick, my horse is blind
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Thinkin' 'bout that gal I left behind
Well, it's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flyin'
Fame and honor never seem to fade
The fire gone out but the light is never dyin'
Who says I can't get heavenly aid?
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Carryin' a dead man's shield
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' with a toothache in my heel
The sufferin' is unending
Every nook and cranny has its tears
I'm not playing, I'm not pretending
I'm not nursin' any superfluous fears
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Walkin' ever since the other night
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' 'til I'm clean out of sight
As I walked out in the mystic garden
On a hot summer day, a hot summer lawn
Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Up the road, around the bend
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
In the last outback at the world's end
As I was listening to this song I was thinking about Leonard Cohen - some of it reminds me of his songs too.

Masterpiece of literature
The way the entire song is in a minor key until the last ringing chord, which is major... it makes it seem like there's a happy ending hidden in there somewhere. I like it.
Dylan's musicianship becomes more and more evident as his career progresses. He has some claim to be considered a major composer I think.
Ending with walking with a toothache in my heal
Think “It felt out of place, my foot in his face but he should have stayed where his money was green”
The happy ending is Sweet Jane (See Cowboy Junkies) Covenant Woman
Major chords don't carry happy quality. Many sad and depressing songs are written in a major key. That doesn't make them happy.
The proper name for this is the "Tierce de Picardie". It was hugely common in minor-key music from the 16th to 18th centuries. Check out most of Bach's minor-key fugues. Paradoxically it often emphasises the feeling of sadness in the piece.

Woah! Your words are comparable to the great man himself. Brilliant writing. Xx
To learn is to remember
For me, Ain't Talkin' is the best song Dylan has written in his latter years. Mississippi and Working Man's Blues aren't far behind, though.
Cross the Green Mountain and Girl from the Red River Shore are contenders too, I'd say.
Add this to the list of apocalyptic songs by the prophet
✔😃💞‼
What a glory to listen to him what a joy he is a gift to behold❤❤❤
I never listened to the lyrics properly before. This song is a stunner!
Yes it is!
Reminds me of Highlands - An Epic
"I’ll avenge my father’s death then I’ll step back. Walkin’ with a toothache in my heel" Dylan singing about Jesus with a aching heel who crushed satan the murderer of Adam (and us). This is a great and powerfull song. Actually a lot of Dylan's songs after the seventies are all about his Hero and the prince of darkness.
One if not the darkest and most haunting song he’s ever done.
Desolation row, helps. So does cold iron bound.
@ this is darker than those two and better
Modern Times, brilliant album
Dylan ovvero il poeta del miele amaro che una volta provato non cambierai più.
I tell you this: best Dylan albums are his last: Blood, Modern Times, Love and Theft.
And all the songs are stolen from someone else like on his first albums. Great artist nonetheless

Thank you Mr Dylan. Just thank you.

Would like to read bob dylans biography.... he is 84 years now...he was always my idol....since i was 18 or 19 years old..
Chronicles by dylan a great read
I second that!
Bob Dylan: You're No Coward. Most Definitely a real man, and I hope many see that. This song shows it, straight from the heart. Victoria
I don't fully understand what it is he's facing, but he's doing it without even blinking. True conviction. A brave man indeed.
In July of 2006, after several years of occasionally suicidal depression, after months of under- and unemployment having crippled me socially and dissolved almost all of my friendships, completely estranged from my entire family and living overseas from them, my fiancee announces to me that she's pregnant, and probably not from me.

"I’ll avenge my father’s death then I’ll step back. Walkin’ with a toothache in my heel" Dylan singing about Jesus with a aching heel who crushed satan the murderer of Adam (and us). This is a great and powerfull song.
That's Dylan's style 👍
@@dennisspinkshappyforbusker2523 Definitely. Dylan most of the time is wielding the double edged sword.
Wonderfull, Fantastic song!Greetengs from Spain!🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🌟✨🪄🎩
First time I've heard this song...never disappointed by the words of Bob.
i love him too
No words, no thoughts ... listened in such dead silence that the pin could hear itself drop ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Play, Psalms, 58, imprecatory, psalms. Yeah, I like that.
Ah! This official version has landed on UA-cam! Fantastic! I tried to make my own music video to this song with all my favourite Western clips but UA-cam wasn't having it!
My favourite Bob Dylan track, legend!
"As I walked out in the mystic garden,
on a hot summer day, hot summer lawn.
Excuse me m'am,
I beg your pardon.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone..
Ain't talkin, just walkin
Up the road
around the bend.
Heart burnin,
still yearnin.
In the last outback
at the world's end."
Right in time...
Thank you sooo.much, BOB Dylan.❣
one of Bobs many gems .excellent ✌️👍
Beautiful
This a badass song
Never became a major fan of Bob Dylan tell this year and I'm 61 now and looking back that has lyrics he is really one of the best songwriters I ever heard
I think he's the greatest American artist of all times. No one can convince me otherwise.
...not one of the best...
SIMPLE THE BEST....
Romantic song
Love this man! Timeless!
Such a deeply amazing song and Bob's voice just reverberates in the chest! This song gives me so much hope because it is doesn't get more real than this! But unlike it says I would never worry about slaying any enemy because I just need to stand in the armor of Ephesians 6 and trust that things come out alright at the end. King Saul went after David like a dog after a bone to kill him but when David came across Saul and all his army slumbering he could have slayed them all but he left it all up to God, Who's love and wisdom are unmatched and cannot be rivaled. This song makes me think of that and so much more! The feelings and thoughts in this song are so poetically honest! Thank you Bob Dylan! ❤ God Bless you always and in all ways! I pray for you every day brother! 🙌
Oh my God is so awesome to give the world a magnificent gift like you Bob. I love the way you look at the world and put it to music. Lyrics are your attribute. Love you Bob
Some songs hits me differently 😢
Great song
MASTER KING
Hay Dios Gracias Bod por subirlo Años en espera, los Mejores saludos desde mi Republica Dominicana...
Very uplifting. very uplifting.
Ahaha
Ke voz tan rota y al mismo tiempo tan buena ❤
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines
I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain
Someone hit me from behind
Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’
Through this weary world of woe
Heart burnin’, still yearnin’
No one on earth would ever know
They say prayer has the power to help
So pray for me mother
In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell
I’m trying to love my neighbor and do good unto others
But oh, mother, things ain’t going well
Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’
I’ll burn that bridge before you can cross
Heart burnin’, still yearnin’
They’ll be no mercy for you once you’ve lost
Now I’m all worn down by weepin’
My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry
If I catch my opponents ever sleepin’
I’ll just slaughter them where they lie
Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’
Through a world mysterious and vague
Heart burnin’, still yearnin’
Walking through the cities of the plague
The whole world is filled with speculation
The whole wide world which people say is round
They will tear your mind away from contemplation
They will jump on your misfortune when you’re down
Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’
Eatin’ hog-eyed grease in hog-eyed town
Heart burnin’, still yearnin’
Someday you’ll be glad to have me around
They will crush you with wealth and power
Every waking moment you could crack
I’ll make the most of one last extra hour
I’ll avenge my father’s death then I’ll step back
Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’
Hand me down my walkin’ cane
Heart burnin’, still yearnin’
Got to get you out of my miserable brain
It’s bright in the heavens and the wheels are flying
Fame and honor never seem to fade
The fire’s gone out but the light is never dying
Who says I can’t get heavenly aid?
Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’
Carrying a dead man’s shield
Heart burnin’, still yearnin’
Walkin’ with a toothache in my heel
The suffering is unending
Every nook and cranny has its tears
I’m not playing, I’m not pretending
I’m not nursing any superfluous fears
Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’
Walkin’ ever since the other night
Heart burnin’, still yearnin’
Walkin’ ’til I’m clean out of sight
As I walked out in the mystic garden
On a hot summer day, hot summer lawn
Excuse me, ma’am, I beg your pardon
There’s no one here, the gardener is gone
Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’
Up the road around the bend
Heart burnin’, still yearnin’
In the last outback, at the world’s end
Thank you, it hits just my Situation...💞
Thank you but you missed

Verse & chorus 6:
All my loyal and
much loved companions,
they approve of me and share my code.
I practise a faith that's been long abandoned,
ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road.
Ain't talkin, just walkin my mule is sick my horse is blind.
Heart burning, still yearnin.
Thinkin bout that
girl I left behind.

LYRICS:
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
The wounded flowers were dangling from the vine
I was passing by yon cool crystal fountain
Someone hit me from behind
Ain't talking, just walking
Through this weary world of woe
Heart burning, still yearning
No one on earth would ever know
They say prayer has the power to heal
So pray for me, mother
In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell
I am trying to love my neighbor and do good unto others
But oh, mother, things ain't going well
Ain't talking, just walking
I'll burn that bridge before you can cross
Heart burning, still yearning
There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost
Now I'm all worn down by weeping
My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry
If I catch my opponents ever sleeping
I'll just slaughter them where they lie
Ain't talking, just walking
Through the world mysterious and vague
Heart burning, still yearning
Walking through the cities of the plague.
Well, the whole world is filled with speculation
The whole wide world which people say is round
They will tear your mind away from contemplation
They will jump on your misfortune when you're down
Ain't talking, just walking
Eating hog eyed grease in a hog eyed town.
Heart burning, still yearning
Some day you'll be glad to have me around.
They will crush you with wealth and power
Every waking moment you could crack
I'll make the most of one last extra hour
I'll revenge my father's death then I'll step back
Ain't talking, just walking
Hand me down my walking cane.
Heart burning, still yearning
Got to get you out of my miserable brain.
All my loyal and my much-loved companions
They approve of me and share my code
I practice a faith that's been long abandoned
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Ain't talking, just walking
My mule is sick, my horse is blind.
Heart burning, still yearning
Thinking about that girl I left behind.
Well, it's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flying
Fame and honor never seem to fade
The fire gone out but the light is never dying
Who says I can't get heavenly aid?
Ain't talking, just walking
Carrying a dead man's shield
Heart burning, still yearning
Walking with an ache in my heel
The suffering is unending

I'm not nursing any superfluous fears
Ain't talking, just walking
Walking ever since the other night.
Heart burning, still yearning
Walking until I'm clean out of sight.
As I walked out in the mystic garden
On a hot summer day, a hot summer lawn
Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Ain't talking, just walking
Up the road, around the bend.
Heart burning, still yearning
In the last outback at the world's end.
description contains the lyrics already, seems like it's the case for all the recent releases :)
@@AvnerSenderowicz Those lyrics are good enough to be posted twice, because "there are secrets in em that I can't disguise, and if I hurt your feelings, I apologize. I just came to you, because you're a friend of mine". (..haha. )
avenge and toothache
The perfect strut to this is Jim halperts impersonation of a smug bed bug when the chorus kicks every time in my head
Just Awesome Bob ! Good to see that ole well spring of creativity is still overflowing today. Please keep punching man !
You're not wrong, and I agree with you, but this song came out nearly twenty years ago...
Twenty years after Blowin' in the Wind, Dylan was singing Jokerman.
The man has been around forever.
And he is immortal.
@ yes I know - I bought Infidels when it came out in the 80’s..I should have been more specific.. he,he,he.. I was referring to his more recent stuff - When the Deal Goes Down - Key West .. etc. Don’t worry I’m the biggest Bob fan ever. All the best buddy.
What sticks out to me on this song is the line "the whole world is filled with speculation they will tear your mind away from contemplation". There seems to be a line in one of the Dylan songs for every situation in life we encounter. MASTERFUL. Even Buddha would have agreed with Bob on this one as he said that life is suffering.
"I’ll avenge my father’s death then I’ll step back. Walkin’ with a toothache in my heel" Dylan singing about Jesus with a aching heel who crushed satan the murderer of Adam (and us). This is a great and powerfull song. Actually a lot of Dylan's songs after the seventies are all about his Hero and the prince of darkness.
Just awesome 💜
Not only that I swore among other prophetic visions I received I swore I saw a giant Gardner about 20 foot high sitting on stage as if following the concert tour from another dimension as if he chose Dylan as his favourite human being!
Ain’t talking
stunning!
💖💖💖💖💖💖
wow. i listened to this song once but beacause it was from one of the "recent, bad albums", did not pay attention. today i did. WOW! best accompanied by strong whiskey. unfortunately, i gave up drinking. but this song makes me want to drink. but i will now smoke my pipe (since no one else will :O) ) thank you mr Bob! and an early Happy Birthday to you. you remain The Man!

I'm sooo glad....
My friends he said everything that needs to be said

My eyes are filled with tears, I have to get you out of my brain. Excuse me Montserrat, I beg your pardon

A am drunk as fucked and unemployed and living in sweden (small S). There is no
safety net here at all for native sweds and I am loosing it bad! And the only thing I got left is my exceptional good taste of music! And I rather die broke drunk and oppressed than give the only good thing about me away. What I mean is that this is a great song ;)
God Bless you brother, Remember God is Music and love, and everything good...keep your faith and your hood taste in music, and you'll get by...Greetings from Dublin 🇮🇪Ireland.....Charity should begin at 🏡home...take care xx
Sweden is known for being a welfare state, your comment makes no sense.
@@fins59 I'm so sure you know more about life in Sweden than he does.
@@mariamartin94 Search 'Sweden - Unemployment benefits' if you care for truth & facts.
Sorry to hear. We're quickly moving in that direction here in the USA and most people don't even notice😢
Bob? Are you doing this? Someone else?
My horse is sick my mule is blind...ever since jokerman infidels we are given an epic leviathan unmatched by any other recording artist and maybe another song particularly brilliant as Dylan fulfills obligations to finish album for contractual reasons. Quite often unfortunately audiences don't realise genius and prefer other lesser mortals and once again he's lost people. Who says I can't get heavenly aid?
They does 😊

Yes, you heard right. Coming from one of the most brilliant minds of our times...doesn't it make you wonder, just a bit anyway?
@@mariamartin94 It does yes!!! And of course I have peered into the Rabbit hole... Can you direct me upon my journey ? I found some jazz but not sure if I am the fool here or onto something lol ................
@@raindeerprojekt4119 I am no expert on the subject. It's more of a strong gut feeling or intuitive thing for me. I don't think the flat earthers have it right, though. Do you?
@@raindeerprojekt4119 Some more thoughts on the subject. Have you read Genesis (in the Bible) and are you familiar with the Book of Enoch (ever wonder why it's "forbidden")?
@@mariamartin94 Yes.. Familiar with the Bible..and Skiba , You know Skiba? I just met with Mark Sargent recently in a cafe outside Olympia... Been a Bobcat for decades and this song jumped out at me.. I feel it too.. I actually have ventured and find myself in your're camp... Its misdiscribed on all sides
