    Do you really need to go any farther than this song for proof of the man's genius? And then for Joan to make it even BETTER? Mind blowing.

    What a beautiful, soulful and intelligent woman singing a fine song that Dylan himself never recorded for some reason. In the documentary containing part of this performance, Joan Baez tells a funny story about Dylan hearing her recording of the song on the radio one day when they were in a car. He listens intently and says that's a good song as if he doesn't recall writing it. She tells him, "you wrote it, you dope".

    I have had music in my life for as long as I remember! This was indeed wrote by Bob Dylan,and when she had sang the song to him he looked at Joan and quoted saying, "I like that song"? She repeated by saying you should,you wrote it dummy?This was a very sad million record seller for Joan Baez? As she sings a few lyrics of this song she does a great impression of Bob Dylan. If you never seen hurt that love deals us at times,look at her eyes,and you know she loved Bob Dylan more than life.The very worse of it all?You sing one of your biggest hit by the man who inspired the singing of the song,even though it has too hurt her very badly! But for what it's worth,Joan your still a Baby Doll Girl,and Bob when you look at her you got to know you lost big time brother?

    • @randomrecordings9757
      @randomrecordings9757 Před 4 lety +2

      I lucked into this today. Hard to believe I'd never heard the song and I listen to lots of Dylan songs, both on recordings and CZcams. Thanks CZcams and tinustijer! This is a perfectly crafted folk love song sung with the pathos of someone who gets it (how could she not). This is poetry and song at its finest. Something deep was going on between them when Bob wrote this gave it to Joan to sing. Some say a recording of Dylan singing it has never been released. Is there a reason why she sang certain verses like Bob and left out an entire section? Something is happening there, but I don't know what it is.

    • @Kawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
      @Kawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Před 3 lety

      They discussed it in outtakes of Renaldo and Clara, you can see the clip in the film Rolling Thunder Revue. Dylan speaks about how he married the woman he loved and Joan replies that she married the man she thought she loved (This was in 1975). They certainly love each other, I feel it is more platonic than it ever was romantic though.

    @valentinopuiatti9209 Před 5 lety +1

    Seems like only yesterday
    I left my mind behind
    Down in the Gypsy Cafe
    With a friend of a friend of mine
    She sat with a baby heavy on her knee
    Yet spoke of life most free from slavery
    With eyes that showed no trace of misery
    A phrase in connection first with she I heard
    That love is just a four-letter word
    Outside a rambling store-front window
    Cats meowed to the break of day
    Me, I kept my mouth shut, too
    To you I had no words to say
    My experience was limited and underfed
    You were talking while I hid
    To the one who was the father of your kid
    You probably didn't think I did, but I heard
    You say that love is just a four-letter word
    I said goodbye unnoticed
    Pushed towards things in my own games
    Drifting in and out of lifetimes
    Unmentionable by name
    Searching for my double, looking for
    Complete evaporation to the core
    Though I tried and failed at finding any door
    I must have thought that there was nothing more
    Absurd than that love is just a four-letter word
    Though I never knew just what you meant
    When you were speaking to your man
    I can only think in terms of me
    And now I understand
    After waking enough times to think I see
    The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity
    Blow up in smoke, its destiny
    Falls on strangers, travels free
    Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me
    And I do not really need to be
    Assured that love is just a four-letter word
    Strange it is to be beside you, many years the tables turned
    You'd probably not believe me if told you all I've learned
    And it is very very weird, indeed
    To hear words like "forever" plead
    So ships run through my mind I cannot cheat
    It's like looking in a teacher's face complete
    I can say nothing to you but repeat what I heard
    That love is just a four-letter word
