I was in Liverpool one day not so long ago going down Bold Street and a song from a busker was getting my attention. As I got closer there was something... It had to be Dylan but I didn't know the song. I waited until he finished a wonderful rendition. In places like Liverpool and Paris you get some superb buskers. To Ramona he said and I thanked him with all my heart. I was so pleased that this little gem had escaped my notice. Thus it is with Bob.
Dylan is a real wordsmith, the right word for the intent. From fixtures an forces n friends ur sorrows do stem, They'll hype u an type u into mkg you feel u gotta b just like them. Bob must b talkn about narcissists Listen to idiot wind.Pure genius.
My parents said he could not sing. Yet, he turns out to be the best singer I've ever heard. Best range, most operatic, pure passion, sheer genius. If you don't believe me, trying singing like him. If you can, I've got a million bucks in cash right here and will send it to you forthwith. Greatest poet and musician who ever lived. I know it, he knows it. No discussion necessary.
a lot of what we like will NEVA fit into mom n dads generation gap, so do yaself a favor an forget that idea. Te thing is is u like dylan and I like him and we take the time to think an listen to what he is saying. check out idiot wind he hadda be talking about a narcissist, flat out "and all your raging glory" Dylan has more talent than lotsa ppl know about and even less understand. Dylan is like electricity, evry1 loves what it can do 4 ya but not many undastand it or take the time to know about eitha, yet both are a real force.
I had to answer a question "Whose voice do you love the most in music" and I thought about it for days and days because music is my passion and there were o many people I wanted to choose. I ended up choosing the first voice I thought of: Bob Dylan's. He just brought me up through my teens and twenties and his voice to me is Godlike.
Here’s the prove that a true artist doesn’t need a great voice, the best musical chords and any type of technology to expose the beautiful art of the literature at its best... thank you life for one of the all time greatest, Bob Dylan!
Only this DOES show one of the great voices of the 20th Century. The guy had a huge range, and invented a whole new kind of vocal delivery, that was scornful, tragic, witty, delicate, by turns. A person can live in that voice. And pray listen to the last word of each verse, the little string of notes: "Though I cannot explain that in LI-I-I-INES..."
@@jmkearns-songs Yes, thank you, I'm so tired of the "Sure he's a great writer, but he can't sing." His phrasing, evocation of moods, and overall performative skill is half of Dylan's genius.
Ramona, come closer Shut softly your watery eyes The pangs of your sadness Will pass as your senses will rise For the flowers of the city Though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes And there's no use in tryin' To deal with the dyin' Though I cannot explain that in lines Your cracked country lips I still wish to kiss As to be by the touch of your skin Your magnetic movements Still capture the minutes I'm in But it grieves my heart, love To see you tryin' to be a part of A world that just don't exist It's all just a scheme, babe A vacuum, a dream, babe That sucks you into feelin' like this I can see that your head Has been twisted and fed With worthless foam from the mouth I can tell you are torn Between stayin' and returnin' Back to the South You've been fooled into thinking That the finishin' end is at hand Yet there's no one to beat you No one t' defeat you 'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad I've heard you say many times That you're better than no one And no one is better than you If you really believe that You know you have Nothing to win and nothing to lose From fixtures and forces and friends Your sorrow does stem That hype you and type you Making you feel That you gotta be exactly like them I'd forever talk to you But soon my words Would turn into a meaningless ring For deep in my heart I know there is no help I can bring Everything passes Everything changes Just do what you think you should do And someday maybe Who knows, baby I'll come and be cryin' to you
I still remember. I had this song on a complication CD but had never heard. I had a bad day and my father just went out after scolding me and saying, "You have never been of any use since your birth". Which was sad because it was well -true. I sat down and cried after he left and turned on the player. Just skimmed through the songs and found this called 'To Ramona'. Just let it play. And my God it was magical. It just made me realize how foolish it was to cry over that. And I also realized that my father must have also had a bad day (he was taking my mother to the hospital just after attending Parent teacher meeting with me) I made my mind that I have to work harder. Thanks Dylan.
My daughter is starting to make her way into life and navigating her first job. I'm old and been there, done that. Bob was my older bros music and has shaped my life. Thanks too all.
This was the most attractive song to me on this first Dylan album I ever bought back in 65 or so. Though it also contained Chimes Of Freedom and All I Really Want To Do and Ballad in Plaint d. and the song that I first heard on my crystal radio, my first intro to a real Dylan song through the mouth of one Johnny Cash singing It Ain't Me Babe. Yes I was born into this. But the lyrics on the back led me to my reality. This album was the beginning of my recovered life.
I have loved this since it came out. It is the best song Bobby ever wrote . . . along with about 50 others. He is the voice and pulse of my generation and remains so for me even tho I have heard little of his work since Nashville Skyline, tho have attended two concerts of his in 1980s.
One of my favourite lyrics by Dylan...and can't help feeling Lennon got the idea for his alliteration with 'It doesn't matter much to me'...He kept a close eye on Dylan those years...maybe, maybe not!
For the flowers of the city Though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes The other Dylan could have written that. I always have great heated but fun discourse with a friend who errs on the side of Vonnegut's opinion of Dylan. So I just keep sending him perfectly formed gems like these.
me too, "most of the time," you might say ... and then you would have that one high on the list. I am on such a repeat marathon of The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll that by now I am beginning to feel i may as well consider it's Hattie herself calling out to all of the so-called United States to get it together. "NO ONE TO DEFEAT YOU 'CEPT YOUR THOUGHT OF YOURSELF FEELING BAD" !!!, he is just getting started ...
Mine too Leslie I was listening to Radio Paradise just today and heard it for the first time ( i have been a fan for years and can't believe I never heard it ) . He is such a master of lyrics.
brings back memories of London squats the dilly and long lost friends from Newcastle upon Tyne, old George, black boy inn ,bigg. market, wow 50 years amazing thanks Bob Dylan
I am thirty two years old and haven't been an adult so far, I have lost a lot in my life, my love, my job and my future (but I know if I start today I still can make it in life to be self sufficient) I have known this song for a decade now (I had discovered through friends as I don't live in USA or any other English speaking country) but I have never understood what it meant, I feel though Dylan was speaking to a woman it felt like the person I loved and lost is speaking the same to me... The least I could do is keep listening to this song to get through my issues (mental and phsycial). Thank you Bob
I thought this was a Flying Burrito Brothers original but I found this version yesterday. This entire song, the harp, the lyrics, the waltz sound, really make it one of his best songs
I heard maybe 3rd-hand that some respected critic had called To Ramona the song best capturing Dylan's "philosophy." I chuckle insofar as I believe he had quite a few philosophies over the years. But To Ramona Top 3 for me and I wouldn't dispute this claim. The last line brings tears to my eyes most every time. After a rough, if poignant critique ripping her line after line, comes jarringly capped by a movingly generous, ever loving conclusion: "Who knows baby . . . ?" Indeed. Wonderful to a hard-bitten Existensionalist like me.
That last line catches at my heart to , every time I listen to it ( often) but sadly the man I parted with , then regretted has passed ... but " Who knows" in God's new Kingdom , we may meet up again 🤞
darlincommitme nah Allen Ginsberg was his biggest inspiration one of the greatest poets of the 20th century colliding with another poetic behemoth, Baez was gud but Ginsberg was better
This is a great song, I play it on the piano, great verses. Hello Phil Davison, between the gr8 guitar work and his outlook on life and knowing so much, he REALLY expresses his feelings in songs.
@@andrewmatson1395 Hello Andrew, I never found it, so with Archive music paper I worked on my own arrangement. in 3/4 time short beat and two long ones. I will look thru my old stuff and c if I can dig her up. I think I stayed in the scale of C. If I find it I'll let u know.

Shannon Kringen wow you have a lifetime off classic music to catch up on..... I am almost jealous but I have been here for over 60 years and Dylan has been there for over 40 of them .... enjoy the ride x
This is a live version, sounds a lot like Newport Folk Festival 1964 only sung faster, so I'd guess one of the earlier live bootlegs (pre 1965/66, which are now all fairly well documented)
☘️ It always amazes me that *Dylan wrote some fantastic songs* but he *slaughters* them when he sings them himself. The best version of this is by an Irish girl, *Sinead Lohan* - you'll agree it belongs to her, once you hear her. ☘ ️🕊️
Waylon's song was recorded in 1966; "To Ramona" was recorded in 1964. could be the other way around, or maybe they both heard a third song. they are similar for sure.
He totally jacked this from "The Last Letter" (Rex Griffin) Rock it Bob! Immature artists imitate mature artists steal. I'm gonna play Rex's song, then just bleed into "Ramona" (short drive) there won't be a dry panty in the house. Going into my live lineup. brilliant. I've always loved this song, but with a Rex and a Dylan backer the cocktail is complete. Thanks for the upload.
makes me think of the current state of American affairs vs my dream of freedom, love, kindness, strength of diversity: " it grieves my heart love to see you trying to be a part of a world that just don't exist It's all just a scheme babe a vacuum a dream babe that sucks you into feeling like this....."

People who think Dylan can’t sing should try to sing even just the arpeggios at the end of each line. Bob is the absolute best of all time.
That, my friend, is an excellent observation!

@@alexshapardanis1105 ⁰⁰
Ramona, come closer
Shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness
Will pass as your senses will rise
For the flowers of the city
Though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes
And there's no use in tryin'
To deal with the dyin'
Though I cannot explain that in lines
Your cracked country lips
I still wish to kiss
As to be by the touch of your skin
Your magnetic movements
Still capture the minutes I'm in
But it grieves my heart, love
To see you tryin' to be a part of
A world that just don't exist
It's all just a scheme, babe
A vacuum, a dream, babe
That sucks you into feelin' like this
I can see that your head
Has been twisted and fed
With worthless foam from the mouth
I can tell you are torn
Between stayin' and returnin'
Back to the South
You've been fooled into thinking
That the finishin' end is at hand
Yet there's no one to beat you
No one t' defeat you
'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad
I've heard you say many times
That you're better than no one
And no one is better than you
If you really believe that
You know you have
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
From fixtures and forces and friends
Your sorrow does stem
That hype you and type you
Making you feel
That you gotta be exactly like them
I'd forever talk to you
But soon my words
Would turn into a meaningless ring
For deep in my heart
I know there is no help I can bring
Everything passes
Everything changes
Just do what you think you should do
And someday maybe
Who knows, baby
I'll come and be cryin' to you
A Stoic word for word
"...shed softly..."
I never get tired of this song.
but it grieves my heart love
to see you tryin to be a part of a world that just doesn't exist

Simply awesome...absolutely timeless...gets better every time I listen to this...
A Dylan fan since he first sang in Cambridge in the early 60's. This is one of my favorites.
I also saw him in Cambrige and this is one of my favorites.

Waylon Jennings wrote a song called Anita It's Over...Dylan was influenced I am certain
Waylon's song was recorded in 1966; "To Ramona" was recorded in 1964. could be the other way around, or maybe they both heard a third song. they are similar for sure.
You need to check the calendar, Dylan influenced by Wayne Jennings! His influences go back much further than that!
This is believable.
