Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I hate myself for loving’ you and the weakness that it showed
You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
The stage was set, the lights went out all around the old hotel
I hate myself for loving’ you and I’m glad the curtain fell
[Verse 2]
I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed
And the mercy that you showed to me, who ever would have guessed?
I went out on Lower Broadway and I felt that place within
That hollow place where martyrs weep and angels play with sin
[Verse 3]
Heard your songs of freedom and man forever stripped
Acting out his folly while his back is being whipped
Like a slave in orbit, he’s beaten ’till he’s tame
All for a moment’s glory and it’s a dirty, rotten shame
[Verse 4]
There are those who worship loneliness, I’m not one of them
In this age of fiberglass I’m searching for a gem
The crystal ball up on the wall hasn’t shown me nothing yet
I’ve paid the price of solitude, but at least I’m out of debt
[Verse 5]
Can’t recall a useful thing you ever did for me
’Cept pat me on the back one time when I was on my knees
We stared into each other’s eyes ’till one of us would break
No use to apologize, what difference would it make?
[Verse 6]
So sing your praise of progress and of the Doom Machine
The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen
Lady Luck, who shines on me, will tell you where I’m at
I hate myself for loving’ you, but I should get over that
#BobDylan #Dirge #PlanetWaves
It's just DYLAN on vocals and piano
and ROBBIE ROBERTSON on accustic guitar
...... simply amazing!!
And they did it in one take. Robbie is playing an acoustic Martin D-28
I really want Bob to live forever. There’ll be no new music once he dies!
❤
@@326cher He will. He is covered. He connected with his Maker in 1974. This album tells you a lot about that journey. czcams.com/video/k6wmeRIv61A/video.html
RIP Robbie 😥
Painful song but it's not painful to listen to, sheer brilliance
God, how I love this song.
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
My Mother introduced me to Dylan when I was in 7th grade, back in the 60's. Yet In all the years I've followed Dylan, I've never once heard anyone, anywhere, mention "Planet Waves" as one of Dylan's better albums. I've never seen it on a top ten list...it's like this album never existed, and I'm now literally hearing Dirge for the first time. I'm in shock because this song is awesome, it's truly great in terms of lyric content, vocal performance, and backup.
I started listening to Dylan in 61/62 and now he is about the only artist who's music actually makes any sense...he writes it, performs it, and gives the listeners the freedom of interpretation...gotta love the guy.
@@cherylmassey2940 And I do, no one will ever take Bob Dylan's place. Practically the only music i listen to now - eternal. 💛🕊
For me his best album
@@realskybluepink9124 It is true. He is the better lyricist we know.
self produced, he wouldnt listen to robbie robertson, rushed in a few days, bad 2nd version of forever yng.
the most haunting song ever written. Of course written by Mr Dylan
And sung by Mr Dylan
You don’t have to rhyme, be on beat, or be relatable, or be pitch perfect. As long as you feel it.
Simply amazing... It's incredible how this song can bring back the pain of a break-up after many - many years... [It's equally amazing how we love this feeling of pain and loss... ]
First time I've heard this song in 20 years. I know what you are talking about. Its cutting.
Just one of Dylan’ brilliant songs
Simply amazing comment
Não é a dor e a perda que amamos mas a memória que mantém vivo tudo que amamos
It’s a healing song. The singing expresses (forces out) pain. It’s interesting that there is no sweet melody but just stark musical backing.
The real gem of this album....
Not fiberglass?
@@johntustin3122 not fiberglass, we are searching for a gem....
Wooooooow! Dirge and Wedding Song on CZcams! I love this day!!!
The two songs are almost like twins
RIP Robbie Robertson, thanks so much for your music. 😥
I felt that hollow place within were martyrs weep and angels play with sin
The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen
So much truth and deep emotion in one song
In my early Dylan love affair, I received Planet Waves at age 14 and this song...this song...is in my soul. Thanks Bob and Rob.
One of my absolute favourite songs of all time. The lyrics are timeless, evocative, simply suberb. 'No use to apologize, what diff'rence would it make?'.
Soon as I see that line I immediately sing it
What a beautiful and devastating masterpiece
Dylan’s piano playing doesn’t get spoken about much but he did lots of his writing on piano and is an amazing player too.
I lost my bro Stan,a few years ago.He opened my eyes to Dylan,I came late to the party.I see him and feel him all thru this underated album.A gem.Thank you brother.
One of the best Dylan songs on one of the best Dylan records.
one of the all time great songs from an underrated album masterpiece
That " thin wild mercury sound" again!. Astonishing Bob's performance on Piano! Memories of absolute masterpieces like Ballad of a Thin man & the acoustic Willie Mc Tell take!.
I have read the piano Is played by Richard
A very unusual song in Dylan's canon. Lyrically very open and yet obscure at the same time.
Some great interplay with Dylan and Robertson.
My first album of Bob his best vocally. The other obscure one Saved is my favourite.
This kind of song only needs to be written once
So he re-wrote it for the 1976 Rolling Thunder concerts, and both versions are excellent.
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
@@stephenlee1756This song has never been played live.
Piano, voice and guitar: simply the best!
I once read that Planet Waves was one of the worst of Dylan’s albums. Judging from this song I think one should not believe in everything critics say.
I consider the three Dylan albums of the mid-Seventies as a kind of trilogy: "Planet Waves", "Blood on the Tracks" and "Desire"! They are masterpieces - all of them! ☺👍
But has Dylan written bad songs? Let us be serious!!
Greetings from Hellas!
Them same ahole critics didn't like HOWLIN' WOLF LONDON SESSIONS so what the hell do they know. We do. This song is beyond where the sidewalk ends.
@@MrTimezone2 That’s true! They know nothing
Don't believe anything anyone says. Find your own bullshit to stand by. And wallow in it nice and fine
The best breakup song ever dealing with being done with a narcissistic lover. The grieving of misspent empathy and the realization that all the heat and warmth you felt was the only heat and warmth created. The secret feeling of debt that drives a person to love a narcissist. The jaundiced bullshit of the narcissist. It's all there.
I hope it wasn't based on personal experience, but rather with the artist's familiarity with the human experience. Can be quite spacious. I've always been irked by folks that say the artist cannot sing. True, the artist cannot sing like Pavoratti, but his phrasing is faultless, like he spent all his time as a youth at learning phrasing from the greats. Guitar playing, piano playing all in service of presenting an emotional experience in his listeners. If he passes before I do, I shall continue singing his songs until the day I die.
I've always thought it was about fame.
@@rosslynemrys5829 Could just as well be that.
Awesome one of my top 10 Dylan tracks
I've always worshipped Planet Waves. Dylans BEST is not what is most commonly heard.
We had that song analysed and played in English lessons, as our teacher was a BIG Dylan fan!
He sang the song himself.
I hate myself for lovin’ you and the weakness that it showed
You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
The stage was set, the lights went out all around the old hotel
I hate myself for lovin’ you and I’m glad the curtain fell
I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed
And the mercy that you showed to me, who ever would have guessed?
I went out on Lower Broadway and I felt that place within
That hollow place where martyrs weep and angels play with sin

Cuts to the bone. This album is in my top ten
If you if you wondered why this album was overlooked it was probably because it was followed up (one year later) with the best album ever made.
Eins seiner besten Lieder
One of his finest
In stark contrast with some other kind of mellow songs in this album like Hazel, You Angel You, On A Night Like This... this one once again spills the blood on the tracks and brings back the goosebumps from the finest moments of the previous album
following
Yes, the song, a death tango in hell, comes through so raw and vital.
You mean the next album.;) Great tune alright.
This song is a preview of what is to come on blood on the tracks, Dylan’s marriage was clearly already in trouble by this time
If I had to choose my favorite Dylan song, this would be it; it is the most perfectly realized song of his repertoire.
One cannot refute your taste!! To me, in the top 5, along with Tangled up in blue, Blind Willie McTell, Hurricane, Something there is about you and then a great number of contender songs to complet the top 10!! Greetings from Belgium!!
@@johansterk354 Thank goodness we don't have to choose just one.
Every year I listen I learn more. Amazing. I have been to at least 200 of his concerts. Always super. I understand every word and LOVE them all!
This is how love feels, yet we seek it anyhow
I bought this album without knowing anything about it. I found it in a 99-cent bin back in the 70’s, I think. Of course I knew of Dylan, I’d just not heard of Planet Waves. Still got the vinyl.
I used to live with friends that were junkies at one time when I was in my twenties and I heard this song play it over and over again from one of my good friends and when he introduced me to the song from Bob Dylan I knew I loved it right away
Masterpiece!
Sang with raw emotion brilliant 👏
One of my favorite Dylan songs , sounds so true to my life , farewell x wife...
BEAUTIFUL ARPEGGIO!!
Great song, one of my favorite albums
The story behind the writing and recording of this song is fascinating. Thank god for martha!
My favorite Dylan song
Years later I took my daughter to a Dylan concert just so she could one day say she saw him live-a living legend!
I did the same - with each of my five kids.
Love this song
Right on 👍
Great album...
When your looking to fill the void a relationship break up creates this fills the vacuum between heartache and despair like no other song ever could.
Solo los genios hacen genialidades
"Dirge" jumps out of "Planet Waves" like something possessed. Musically, Dylan and Robbie Robertson achieve perfect synthesis, and that violent vocal performance stands starkly against anything else from this period. Even on "Blood on the Tracks", Dylan didn't sound so much like a man on the edge.
This song is like a knife piercing my soul... Dylan's voice is so powerful in this one
He still got it.
For me ... Planet Waves is also one of the best albums of Bob Dylan ( and the Band ... ) ...
Brilliant song
Beautifully put. This song is theee song that reached my young soul. Forty-three years later, if I was to make a list of my favourite Dylan tunes, which I've spent a lifetime exploring, would easily be # 3. Right behind Like a Rolling Stone and My Back Pages, (the song that went right thru me when I was 13 and changed my life forever). I agree is what I'm trying to say!
The gem 💎 you're looking for is God. Then He will take care of all the rest. Love❤️
...I've paid the price of solitude, but at least I'm out of debt...
This song has real depth and he hits great notes!
Love this song ❤
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
This song has the brilliance to save lives. Love it.
Right on Jack
This is one of the ten best Dylan albums
I feel the life we all have to just take the pain❤ the movie Platoon take the pain another words don't cry out take the pain ❣️ that's all we have to do is take the pain and then be happy for what we have and take the laughter to😊❤
Absolutely underrated!!!
Hidden treasure.
Greetings from Hellas!
Very nice, so beautiful, great, absolutely amazing, so wonderful song

Martha, the girlfriend of someone, was in the studio during the playback of Forever Young. She did not like Forever Young, accusing Bob of "going soft," which supplied a phrase used in a song the next year. Bob was offended and decided to leave Forever Young off the album he was making. And, to prove Martha wrong, he wrote this gem and produced one of his most spell-binding performances ever, originally called Dirge For Martha. Thank you, Martha. This story comes from a book i read, probably by Mr Heylin. Fortunately, Forever Young was reinstated after much persuasion.
That experience might have inspired him to write this but the lyrics are clearly being directed towards Sara, the marriage between the two was starting to fall apart by this point. The fact that he wrote Wedding Song right after this says it all.
I can’t remember the name but isn’t that off bott?
@@Hankyuh8Yes. If You See Her, Say Hello. “Either I’m too sensitive or else I’m getting soft.”
@@laughliketheflowers I love that album
1of 5 first rank songs from this album ❤
Thanks for Posting this I listened to it twice. RIP Ronnie.
Think you mean Robbie Robertson?

Perfect song for 2022
Every song song 10+ , thank you master of the world-school
imagining wake up on a sunday morning in 2000s New York and listen to Bob Dylan's...
Star man you have such a great mind for the gift of music. And thoughts of no other. Just amazing to me.
OH So Much Passion So Much Hurt
When One Loves The Other More Than The Other It Equals Sorrow
More For One Than The Other
🌸🧡🧡🌸
that "Wedding Song"
& this "Dirge"
on th same album...only Dr. D.
DYLAN, IS DYLAN
Beautiful
Yes it remains on Blood of the tracks, the mood of bitterness, great piano , tacting and singing at point
I've had a lot of close friends but they're in heaven now and it's hard to find again❤😂
Love he said is a strength because he turn it into one.
One of Dylan's quiet epic masterpieces. Upon Dylan's death, if there is a public tribute, this song has to stand at the center.
some shit should NOT be mentioned !!!
Grand Guitarist apart from the song sung Superbly by Bob Dylan🌺❣️🌺🌻Like no one❣️🌷 Wish I could read who played what at alllll songs. Thank youu🌻💫❣️
Great vocal
Bobby vocals and piano
Robbie guitar
WOW !!!
¡Cómo me siento identificado con esa deseperación!
Poignant, Deep, Bob. The spokesman.
Like a slave in orbit, he's beaten `til he's tame,
All for a moment's glory and it's a dirty, rotten shame.
BEST
Let's just say that during most of 2019, this song resonated with me after a terrible break-up with a woman whose story was nothing but lies.
Die Arabesken des Gitarrenspiels von Robbie Robertson neben Dylans insistierend hämmerndem Klavierspiel und natürlich dessen weher Gesang geben dieser Klage eine einzigartige Kraft.
I wish my cousin Michael Flanagan would have heard those words did I said to him because we were like brothers I mean we were very close we went to hell and back together that guy can tell anything nice and he can tell me anything to it's a shame when people give up in life and you can't save them he really hurt the family bad when he took his life I loved him so much just like I love all my family so much and I will miss them all forever till we meet again Billlackey I love and miss you so much here's my song to you and my old friends that are up in heaven❤😂😢😅🎉😊
There is nobody like Bob Dylan
WHAT? 4. EVER!!!
My favorite breakup fuck you song.
This gets to me
So jidish so so strong words doom mashine so strong klaver 🎹 and guitar ❤❤
Jidish?
Just listen....I do a dirge is good at times..
Let there be life your words have iron in them remember outlaw Jesse Wells well there you go
One of the very few times my dad ever showed me affection was him patting my back as I threw up.
🎼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jeez
This song does good service Bondi Junction April 2024. Thanks Zimms. Sand and grit blows here.
