    Here is one of the many gems in Dylan's treasure trove of unreleased, unfinished, unpolished, but nonetheless immaculate creations. There's something about this recording that makes me feel like I'm melting.
    Some background: During the infamous 1966 European Tour, in which Dylan traveled with The Hawks (later becoming The Band), guitarist Robbie Robertson would usually jam with Dylan in various hotel rooms in between concerts, helping him work out half-baked compositions. Luckily, legendary filmmaker DA Pennebaker managed to capture some of these moments. This piece was recorded at the North British Station Hotel (now the Millennium Hotel) in Glasgow, Scotland, along with three other works in progress; follow the link below to listen to the full session. In my opinion, however, this one is the best of the lot.
    I believe the words to this song were improvised on the spot, with perhaps some kind of general blueprint of the vibe. This would make sense, as the words are certainly not up to par with circa 1966 Dylan. It's funny to me, though, that even ad-libbed Dylan lyrics trump that of most of his contemporaries. In that sense, this recording is a testament to Dylan's creative brilliance and efficient songwriting ability.
    This is an edit of the original recording (which you can hear below). On the source tape, Dylan and Robertson pause many times to work out the chord progression. I edited these pauses out to create a more complete, polished track. I also upgraded the sound using professional studio software. Hope you enjoy the final product.

    I've seen so many fragments of this tune over the years. The editing on this particular video is downright phenomenal. You've scraped up Dylan's scraps and sown together something tantamount to a studio recording. This is something really special, something to treasure.

    Where she leads me I do not know
    Well, she leads me where she goes
    I can't find her nowhere
    Well, she needs me here
    All aware I can't hear her walk
    I just cannot hear her talk
    Though sometimes, you know you will
    And when she comes my way
    I'll just be left any night or day
    I will hear her say
    That I don't wanna try
    I tried, also cried
    But I can't leave her behind

    In the English-speaking workd, Dylan is regarded mainly as a wordsmith;
    to the rest of the world who catch only a word or two here and there
    he is considered as a gifted melodist and phrasing master vocalist. This is one stellar example.
    Snippets of this melody would turn up again in "You're A Big Girl Now" from the hallowed Blood On The Tracks.

    Lyrics:
    And I just can’t roam you, to tell the truth I should come to this hotel
    Where she leads me, I do not know Where she leads me or where she goes I can’t find her nowhere Whenever she comes by It makes me hurt to see her cry Mmmmm I just can’t hide Well I know, her, so well, But I can’t leave her behind
    Now you, might think it’s foolish To be this way, and I can’t say to her And you, might think it’s ugly, to go back to her directly, but I can’t find, you don’t mind, to me
    Where she leads me here All aware, I just can’t hear her walk I just can’t hear her talk Though, sometimes, you know you will And when she comes my way I’ll just be left any night or day I will hear her say That I don’t wanna try I tried also cried And I can’t leave her behind
    And I go, many times out of my way I just hope you’ll hear me say That I can’t find it true But yet instead of mine If I don’t make it and you do I will swear to you That if you don’t Cry, try, to ride the sign, That I, left her behind
    Now I, hear her walk, back when I was young And you, any time, I just can’t choose She knows that she’s the one She’s still here, and from And when I hurt for you More than I hurt for anyone All my hurt comes, from some, I just rode I swear I’d trade to you The whole wide world if you’d want Take it, I can’t help it But I try, to, tell, to you That I just can’t leave her behind

    Im 39 years old, as a young child my father gave me a copy of, "Oh, Mercy" for Christmas, I must have been around 7 or 8 years old. The year before I asked for a Walkman and I guess he noticed how much I enjoyed music since I used it more than any toy I ever had. I heard this sing a few days ago for the first time and I have played it so many times again since. It reminds me of a girl I knew when I was around the same age I was when I got the Walkman, though I haven't seen her in years, I have never left her behind. Something about a certain type of sadness in the heart is nostalgic and also the only remnants left of something that meant so much to an individual. She will always be my first love, maybe the only love.

      another dream of Dylan he and I were lying a four poster brass bed and he said 'you got it you just need some publicity' just then there was an earthquake and I grabed my packpack and jumped out the window. I've had quite a few dreams of Dylan and I'm sure many people have - expecially song writers - wouldn't it be interesting to have a book of the dreams people have had of him?

      An interesting dream about the hand of fire, Bob Dylan following down the road. Thanks for sharing! I would never think that I'd be sharing a Bob Dylan dream, but hell, might as well. This is from my dream notebook in 1995. "I and others meet Bob Dylan. He asks me specifically to go home with him. It sounds sexual but isn't. I don't want to hurt my two (women?) companions but I don't ask Bob to have them over too. Bob's room has unfinished sheet-rocked walls. Also, his house has other buildings in it. His house has a dome over it. We remember having seen the dome but didn't know what was under it. Then there is a sky in his house. But his room has a large unfinished, permanently unfinished wall. And speakers … He is very lonely. He wants me to comfort him. He wants me specifically to come back later and comfort him."

      @@Anthony-hu3rj Hi Anthony. Wow - the symbolism in your dream is manifold. Do you know that in his house in Malibu Beach has either a dome or a pyramid of copper for a roof? I think Dylan is lonely beyond belief even tho I don't think he's elitist or anti social. I would almost assume he's a heroin addict except that he remembers all the words to some of his most complicated songs and performs them still. Another dream I had was of he and his wife sitting on a grassy slope watching an Indianapolis 500 type car race. I probably wrote all my dreams of him down over the decades but can't think of any more. Maybe you have some aspect of your character that really would offer companionship to him. Extraordinary thing for him to specifically ask for your company. Aloha.

    That I left her behind

    Back when I was young
    And you, any time, but I just can’t
    She knows she’s the one
    And she’s still here from
    And when I hurt for you
    More than I hurt for anyone
    All my hurt comes from some I just rode
    I swear I’d trade to you
    The whole wide world if you’d want
    Take it and I can’t help it
    But I try to tell to you

      If I may be so bold, good Tom, those inverted commas are rather incongruous to the reader, a little unsettling even... one might even say unnecessary being as Bobby's voice is just that, Bobby's voice, and Bobby's art is just that, his art. Mmm.

    Where she leads me I do not know
    Well, she leads me where she goes
    I can't find her nowhere
    Well, she needs me here
    All aware I can't hear her walk
    I just cannot hear her talk
    Though sometimes, you know you will
    And when she comes my way
    I'll just be left any night or day
    I will hear her say
    That I don't wanna try

    Dylan's voice is in great form in this recording. Also striking is the guitar work by Robbie Robertson, which perfectly complements this song. This recording provides some insight into how the two musicians developed such a close creative bond. Too bad the two of them didn't record more songs like this with just two guitars.

  • @PaisleyPatchouli
    @PaisleyPatchouli Місяць тому +2

    It's not hard to see how Robbie Robertson would soon evolve into the great songwriter whom he became. Playing at 'the font' here; contributing to Dylan's budding creative genius, it was bound to rub off somewhat. It's a shame this one was never developed into a classic such as "Just Like A Woman" or the like.

    Now you, might think it’s foolish To be this way, and I can’t say to her And you, might think it’s ugly, to go back to her directly, but I can’t find, you don’t mind, to me
    Where she leads me here All aware, I just can’t hear her walk I just can’t hear her talk Though, sometimes, you know you will And when she comes my way I’ll just be left any night or day I will hear her say That I don’t wanna try I tried also cried And I can’t leave her behind
    And I go, many times out of my way I just hope you’ll hear me say That I can’t find it true But yet instead of mine If I don’t make it and you do I will swear to you That if you don’t Cry, try, to ride the sign, That I, left her behind
    Now I, hear her walk, back when I was young And you, any time, I just can’t choose She knows that she’s the one She’s still here, and from And when I hurt for you More than I hurt for anyone All my hurt comes, from some, I just rode I swear I’d trade to you The whole wide world if you’d want Take it, I can’t help it But I try, to, tell, to you That I just can’t leave her behind
