The doctors told me that my son was dieing, and I went out to the car to pray and cry. I didn't want to have the doctors see me cry. I went out to the car and prayed, then I turned on the radio and heard this song and cried harder. I said, Hell no he's not dieing today and he lived 14 more years. I took my son everywhere and we lived in San Francisco and he loved riding on the Cable Cars. Thank-you, Bob Dylan for this song.❤
"I'll look for you in the sky above, in the tall grass, in the ones I love." If you're lucky this only happens once a lifetime - twice if you're cursed.
When I first heard that second harmonica part I was walking home alone in the woods, the sun was flashing warm-orenge because of all the trees. I found myself crying hystericly for the last 40 seconds of the song.
This song makes my heart heavy, with deep deep sorrow. No one can write a song like Dylan. One of the greatest artists of our time. People rag on his voice, but I challenge anyone that no one can sing his songs like he can. The beauty of his lyrics sounds as good as the best singer there is. No one is like Dylan. My top 5 favorite songs ❤️
I've never in my life herd anyone sing with such soal. Since this I have never felt anyone sing with so much passion. Everyone else seems just to be missing something.
Blood on the tracks must be the greatest album of all times...and listening to this long-kept versions it's like going back in time and imagining what the state of mind and the mood were at the moment that masterpiece was put together. It is just amazing all the versions that were left behind and the different feeling in all of them...but the essence of pain is the single constant. Just awesome
YES FUCK! I love thinking that and I inmerse myself to the mood of Dylan when he was creating such a emotional masterpiece, there's something magical going on there when an artist is performing it's first takes of such a masterpiece, this raw takes get me obssesed. The album is in my top 10 ever it is for sure. :)
I so appreciate your understanding of greatest albums of all time! I play this album all the time!!! Blood on the tracks best ever so many other beautiful songs .. so many it’s hard to keep track but I think blood on the tracks was one of his greatest !
I always used to wonder how many people had no idea about Rimbaud and Verlaine until this song came out.......this song is how I came to know about the town of Ashtabulah....I like this version....Bob made everything so difficult recording this album
James Lloyd this is his masterpiece. Blonde Blonde is the culmination of his most groundbreaking albums. Blonde On Blonde was more influential - but Blood On the Tracks is so intimate and quite unique relative to every album that came before or since.
@@waterfordrs22 I Agree with you, Blood on the Tracks is by far his best album since pretty much every single song on it is a masterpiece, no other album comes near in being as cohesive in that regard which in my book makes Blood on the Tracks the best album even though it misses some of my favorite songs.
My wife just passed away 2 days ago, this song is exactly how I feel....she was the best part of my life, "she's gonna make me lonesome now she's gone."
So sorry for your loss, words rarely describe or have the magical turn to them, to make things better...Still, this bittersweet song is here & I hope it helps you in the way you need.
My favorite, lyrics make me so happy, the crickets talking back and forth in rhymes...who could write like that and make it feel so good and perfect,except from Dylan ❤️
I first started listening to Bob Dylan when I was about five or six years old. It has been a long road since then, going up and down, zig-zagging left and right, but throughout my life Dylan was always present like a vibrant red thread running through it. I've gone twenty years further since that first listen and it's crazy that I can just go on UA-cam these days and hear all this new (old) stuff. Man, isn't it wonderful?
i know how you feel; for me it's over 40 years, and nothing's diminished. in fact, i think i experience it all more deeply now. the fact that it doesn't have the rush of newness is offset by the pleasure of that depth. and in these alternate versions of old favorites there's secrets still to be discovered. final thought: dylan, like sinatra, is such a subtle, nuanced vocalist that it's fun just to hear him bend a syllable
I think I was six or seven. We were singing Blowin' In The Wind in church. The priest gave him credit. It became a staple. Speaking of Staples, I just saw Bobby last year at the Tower in Philly. Mavis Staples opened the show and brought up the lights. Bobby was his incomparable self. Took my wife, son and his girlfriend. I felt like I passed a brilliant torch.
As a young boy, raised in Orange Co. NY, woody Queen Anne's Lace was the first wildflower that I could identify (Thanks, Ma). Later, I came to think of it as "Dylan's Flower." At age 59, I should give myself a good talking to -the list of wildflowers that I can positively identify is woefully short. Dear Bob- I'll see ya at The Met in Philly on Monday. Knock it out of the park :)
tears had come, way back when? 1973? Now another "take" and I'm 63 years old (and it fits again...once more) and crying...and Grateful for the chance to "hear the song...New...again..."
The whole album is a masterpiece. I love 'Up to Me', even though it never appeared on the original release, it shines much like 'Abandoned Love' and 'Blind Willie McTell'.
I like these raw, unpolished versions. I mean, when push comes to shove, I'll always choose the studio album tracks, but it's great hearing how he got to the finished product. There's no one like Bob...period.
I sometimes prefer some raw versions, first takes. Examples, Simple twist of fate or you are a big girl now, more emotional than the two albums versions.
thought i was an authority on dylan came across this out the blue and blew me away luv tht about bob so many songs evrey now n again u here a new one been on non stop thru my headphones for days G.O.A.T no contest
can't remember what I was thinking of, you must be spoiling me with to much love....thank you bob, right on target, so direct, aloha to you and all yours
These places in the song were drawn from the life of Ellen Bernstein, the young A & R executive at Columbia Records with whom Dylan was having an affair at the time. She had lived in Honolulu and San Francisco, and was born in Ashtabula, Ohio. bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/8956
crickets talking back and forth in rhyme blue river running slow and lazy I could stay with you forever and not realize the time reasons why Dylan is the greatest songwriter in human history.
This song hits me right to the heart to the Soul only Dylan could sing it he hits it all the time what ever he sings that's why he's is the Nobel Prize Keep on keeping on Bobby
I must only suspect that you must be a Dylan fan to have come to look at this in the first place......so why are there a few dozen who didn't like it? Its beautiful. If you are one of the 'dislikers' then please let us know why it doesn't get you there in the heart.
I've seen love go by my door It's never been this close before Never been so easy or so slow I've been shooting in the dark too long When somethin's not right it's wrong You're gonna make me lonesome when you go Dragon clouds so high above I've only known careless love It always has hit me from below But this time around it's more correct Right on target, so direct You're gonna make me lonesome when you go Purple clover, Queen Anne lace Crimson hair across your face You could make me cry if you don't know Can't remember what I was thinkin' of You might be spoilin' me too much, love You're gonna make me lonesome when you go Flowers on the hillside, bloomin' crazy Crickets talkin' back and forth in rhyme Blue river runnin' slow and lazy I could stay with you forever And never realize the time Situations have ended sad Relationships have all been bad Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud But there's no way I can compare All them scenes to this affair You're gonna make me lonesome when you go You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doin' Stayin' far behind without you You're gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin' You're gonna make me give myself a good talkin' to I'll look for you in old Honolul-a San Francisco, Ashtabula You're gonna have to leave me now, I know But I'll see you in the sky above In the tall grass, in the ones I love You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
“I’ll see you in the sky above, in the tall grass and the ones I love” has to be one of my favorite Dylan lyrics.
Nothing ever written by any other that compares
Mine too ❤️
Mine, too.
I agree completely!
not a bad choice at all
The doctors told me that my son was dieing, and I went out to the car to pray and cry. I didn't want to have the doctors see me cry. I went out to the car and prayed, then I turned on the radio and heard this song and cried harder.

When I first heard that second harmonica part I was walking home alone in the woods, the sun was flashing warm-orenge because of all the trees. I found myself crying hystericly for the last 40 seconds of the song.
He tried it at this gorgeous tempo only ONCE! Then he (apparently) shrugged and went back to the faster tempo. That completely blows my mind.
Besides the other 12 takes never released.
Crazy right?
This song makes my heart heavy, with deep deep sorrow. No one can write a song like Dylan. One of the greatest artists of our time. People rag on his voice, but I challenge anyone that no one can sing his songs like he can. The beauty of his lyrics sounds as good as the best singer there is. No one is like Dylan. My top 5 favorite songs ❤️
I'll never forget the first time I heard this. I was 18 years old, just about 50 years ago
Loved it ever since.
Those who do not like this album, maybe they never loved someone and suffered for love, to think.
Michele Minick - what beautiful condescension!
There's nothing like Bob Dylan.
Should be played to anyone who thinks the man can’t sing. Painfully beautiful lyrics,genius.
Dylan's lyrics take you on a journey that never ends.....
I've never in my life herd anyone sing with such soal. Since this I have never felt anyone sing with so much passion. Everyone else seems just to be missing something.
Ain't it just the truth? The man knows how to sing. He puts everything in it.
Something is happening but they don’t know what it is.
My entire morning just changed...
Best harmonica solo I ever heard at the end of this one. This is like a controlled substance.
Many cover Dylan well, but when he does it himself it is priceless!
Best version ever I could just sit down with glass of something and listen to it all day
Me too!!! 🍷🍷

Sounds super fresh, hasnt dated a day
Just rips at my heart, speaks my life's truth, every time...have loved this man's lyrics & melodies...for decades.
I always used to wonder how many people had no idea about Rimbaud and Verlaine until this song came out.......this song is how I came to know about the town of Ashtabulah....I like this version....Bob made everything so difficult recording this album
This song makes me feel calm and relieved but it also breaks my heart at the same time
Bob Dylan's best album. Love this laid back version with the light drums.
Not quite, that would be Blonde on Blonde.
James Lloyd this is his masterpiece. Blonde Blonde is the culmination of his most groundbreaking albums. Blonde On Blonde was more influential - but Blood On the Tracks is so intimate and quite unique relative to every album that came before or since.
I agree it was his best - in fact it might be the best anyone ever did

My favourite album too!
The master just doing his thing.
Pure poetry. Thank you, Bob.
My wife just passed away 2 days ago, this song is exactly how I feel....she was the best part of my life, "she's gonna make me lonesome now she's gone."
Im really sorry for you, stay strong❤
So sorry for your loss, words rarely describe or have the magical turn to them, to make things better...Still, this bittersweet song is here & I hope it helps you in the way you need.
My wife passed 7 years ago and this song, always one of my favourites, still brings tears.
Wishing you much strength. God bless you
I'm at a loss for words by your pain my friend. Keep living life as full as you can. She's with you. Peace.
One of the best songs ever written 🙌
This is truly beautiful.
This song (any version) and One of Us Must Know are my two favourite Dylan tracks.
The Professor of the Human Heart. Specializing in Heartbreak.
Best comment I have seen on youtube!
@@blakeallyn4152 Wow! I will cherish that one. Thanks.
@@blakeallyn4152I second that!!😊😊😊
My favorite, lyrics make me so happy, the crickets talking back and forth in rhymes...who could write like that and make it feel so good and perfect,except from Dylan ❤️
Bobs music will be with me forever. No one else can offer this amount of matieral.
forever... 1941 - ∞
Thank you Bob for all your songs💗
Its an honour to be one of the first one's to see it.
This is beyond emotional
Much more blood.

littlemissmello nice comment, same for me but i found him age 14, he's the greatest there could ever be,
I think I was six or seven. We were singing Blowin' In The Wind in church. The priest gave him credit. It became a staple. Speaking of Staples, I just saw Bobby last year at the Tower in Philly. Mavis Staples opened the show and brought up the lights. Bobby was his incomparable self. Took my wife, son and his girlfriend. I felt like I passed a brilliant torch.
Same here, my uncle used to play all of Dylan's records. First album I ever bought with my own money: The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. I was 7.
Oh wonderful🙃

This song can really hit you.
Love seeing the difference between what's on the page and what he's singing. I think this was the first Dylan song I really fell in love with.
Wonderful

My favorite song from Blood
idiot wind is the best by far
The whole album is a masterpiece. I love 'Up to Me', even though it never appeared on the original release, it shines much like 'Abandoned Love' and 'Blind Willie McTell'.
This is a beautiful version 💚 Bob you are a genius
I'm lovin' this take
My Gram died last month, I played this right after the burial at home, alone. Cried until I couldn't anymore.
I like these raw, unpolished versions. I mean, when push comes to shove, I'll always choose the studio album tracks, but it's great hearing how he got to the finished product. There's no one like Bob...period.
I sometimes prefer some raw versions, first takes. Examples, Simple twist of fate or you are a big girl now, more emotional than the two albums versions.
Rest in peace Norm Macdonald
She's walking away with a piece of my heart and I'll give it freely
What a fantastic version . Bought a tear to a world weary eye 😢
Great stuff. I've been a fan since the 60's. Once in a while, I get the urge to hear Bob Dylan; he is a one and only.
I have not heard this version ....so gentle...
thought i was an authority on dylan came across this out the blue and blew me away luv tht about bob so many songs evrey now n again u here a new one been on non stop thru my headphones for days
G.O.A.T no contest
can't remember what I was thinking of, you must be spoiling me with to much love....thank you bob, right on target, so direct, aloha to you and all yours
Poetic copulation, Beautiful, Raw and true ...one can feel the blood dripping from his broken heart..thanks Zimmy
@Bruno Jimmy "You can call me Terry, you can me Timmy, you can call me Bobby and you can call me Zimmy...you gotta serve somebody"
This version reveals the song's emotional power and elevates it to the level of You’re A Big Girl Now and Simple Twist Of Fate.
feels like am knocking on heaven's door.
heartbreaking beauty
Love you bob...love u ❤❤❤
So sweet...i hope he is never lonesome 😢💕
Just when you thought you were over your ex, then you hear this........
She’s not even my ex, but the crush
Damn... Just when you thought this song couldn't be any better... Beautiful ❤️
Thanks for sharing :-) Best regards, Andi
my first time on this version. Really good! Also like the one with harmonica
Relationships can turn good. Yes it can.
Great song and beautiful interpretation from a great artist , Bob Dylan !
Bob " Your gonna make me lonesome when YOU go "
Hazveh shalom
Thank you so very much
listening to this is to go on a roller-coaster of emotions
When he says Ashtabula, I live there. Odd he knows where that is.
Anthony Terry where is it
There's such a place Oh My Bob!
These places in the song were drawn from the life of Ellen Bernstein, the young A & R executive at Columbia Records with whom Dylan was having an affair at the time. She had lived in Honolulu and San Francisco, and was born in Ashtabula, Ohio.
bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/8956
Ashtabula ohio is north east ohio.
I passed by it on I - 90 once. And, of course, I thought of this song.
crickets talking back and forth in rhyme
blue river running slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever and not realize the time
reasons why Dylan is the greatest songwriter in human history.
I love this version wish there was live footage of it
ua-cam.com/video/t7mEjGcDkNw/v-deo.html
Clearly this album is way better in the NYC sessions, what a great piece of music
I don't think we will ever see someone with Bob Dylan's songwriting brilliance ever again.
Think again because we will. :-)
We wont
@@peacebwithu97 From who?
@@davidbutler5020 Leonard Cohen was another great songwriter. Sadly, he is deceased.
@@dwaynewladyka577 Dylan by far greatest artist ever
This might be my favourite BD song. Thanks for this version!
Just beautiful 💎
Amazing! Love this one deeply. thanks for the post!
A fantastic solo ballad of pure poetry.
It is a very great music of Bob.
Thank you very much for giving us this movie.
Great song and beautiful interpretation
Espetacular!!!
Dylan é Fera 🎶
One word for this absolute masterpiece of an album;
DEVASTATING.
Easy Rider .
Just Amazing Stuff Bob.
Another masterpiece.
This is so well read what would i do without this song and well edited on utube
Einfach genial ... und so schön!!! 😍
This song hits me right to the heart to the Soul only Dylan could sing it he hits it all the time what ever he sings that's why he's is the Nobel Prize Keep on keeping on Bobby
I must only suspect that you must be a Dylan fan to have come to look at this in the first place......so why are there a few dozen who didn't like it? Its beautiful. If you are one of the 'dislikers' then please let us know why it doesn't get you there in the heart.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BOB
greatest living poet - period .and yes ... he make me lonesome when he's gonne .
When a songwriter is free to write and sing magic happens thank you Bob Dylan Vevo well this song will be on repeat all day 😁☀
Strong take.. Beautiful❣️🌹👌🎶🌞🌺
love
Even the off beat drummer couldn't ruin this fabulous song!
Dylan is life,came to heart how to live my life,everyone enjoys!
Simply Wonderful
I ♥ this song. Cool version.
Beautiful laid back version.
I've seen love go by my door
It's never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
I've been shooting in the dark too long
When somethin's not right it's wrong
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love
It always has hit me from below
But this time around it's more correct
Right on target, so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne lace
Crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you don't know
Can't remember what I was thinkin' of
You might be spoilin' me too much, love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Flowers on the hillside, bloomin' crazy
Crickets talkin' back and forth in rhyme
Blue river runnin' slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever
And never realize the time
Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud
But there's no way I can compare
All them scenes to this affair
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doin'
Stayin' far behind without you
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin'
You're gonna make me give myself a good talkin' to
I'll look for you in old Honolul-a
San Francisco, Ashtabula
You're gonna have to leave me now, I know
But I'll see you in the sky above
In the tall grass, in the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Tank you for the lyrics!
Dylan is a poet!
.
Even better than the original album version. More melancholic and deeper (less upbeat) - love it!
Bob rules the universe...
Fantastic!!!! Amazing!
Fantastic song beautiful words thanks
