Lyrics:
Well, I had to move fast
And I couldn't with you around my neck
I said I'd send for you and I did
What did you expect?
My hands are sweating
And we haven't even started yet
I'll go along with the charade
Until I can think my way out
Bob Dylan is a rare artist that has managed to transcend genre to become a universally praised songwriter, performer and musician of the 20th- and 21st-centuries. Starting out as a chronicler of social issues in the 1960s, Dylan has had true staying power with thirty-two studio albums released in 53 years. - Hudba
That synchronized dance he does at the end just might be the highlight of his entire career.

I thought it sucks.
That comment killed me. Well done.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bob as a middle aged man wearing a truckers hat while wearing a leather jacket with no shirt on underneath is Iconic
King shit
Only Bob The one and ONLY - you can’t not love him it not possible-
that look is so tough. Not many people could pull that off.
I think he looks particularly sexy.
And he manages to look so sexy while wearing that
After Dylan's evangelical period, there were the lost Yakuza years.
Good one!
Maybe John Prine should do another album: Dylan... The Missing Years
>
I saw this video years ago and thought it was a disaster... NOW.. I think it's a masterpiece.
LOVED BOB in the 80's.
Where you not a character in Brownsville Girl.
It's like a Neil Breen film
It's as good as Thriller..
Since 1962 for real!!
Dylan's humour, funny, 😁😁
Bob Dylan has a tight connection to my soul
Yeah now
Zzz's v@eliza holmes
@@tombdancer what
You can tell that Bob enjoyed every second of making this video.
In a press conference he actually said he felt really uncomfortable throughout 🤔 shows some good acting then hahah
Yeah, his terrible lip-syncing is a dead give-away lol
Almost as much as he enjoyed every second of making the We Are the World video
@@edited7382 80's Bob had to be camera-friendly, which is one of his least favourite things ever.
Oh man, that comment made me lol. That last scene with him dancing and being absolutely dead in the eyes is incredible.
“Someday I’ll remember to forget” Bob Dylan’s lyrics even in his supposedly worst work are cleverer than any of the garbage floating about today!! Timeless👌👌
Kris, you are absolutely correct, some of the posts here are ridiculous. Dylan is up there with Shakespeare and Dickens. Take care. Gerry.
bobs the man
Good point....the critics hate this album, but it's far better than most current popular music
I've never heard of this being considered as his worst, usually it's that wiggle wiggle song Bobby wrote that's brought up as his worst. But even that song is somewhat misunderstood, it was 100% written and meant to be performed live and was more for Bob than the audience if you get what I'm saying.
@@kriswoodward7623 oh I'm 100% sure YOU don't get it LOL
Dylan's supposedly worst are miles better than other artists' best
yeah youre definitely right this song is way better than "darkness at the edge of town" or "welcome to the terrordome" or "coyote" or "hyperballad" or "vordhosbn". good job dude
You said Fell in love with him at 16!it right. Sogood.
@@jemimallah2591 Better than 'Darkness on the edge of Town'? Are you serious? You have to be joking.
Say it again. That's truth!
Better than We are the world. Home sweet home,
this is proof that the 80s was a strange time for EVERYONE
Thats funny
@@sammyscotch9945 strange is awesome
Unforgettable 80s
Lol
and BRILLIANT!!!!!
Dylan’s dancing at the end is one of the highlights of his career 😂
Absolutely!
Well, he did say in 1965 that he was a song and dance man.
@@Themaddprof you mean once upon a time when he dressed so fine. (yours is a underrated comment)
Don’t understand how anyone can not appreciate Dylan’s work in the 80s . Yes , some albums weren’t great . But it was probably the most productive years of his career. 7 albums , as well as a film . 4 massive tours including the ones with the dead and the heartbreakers. He gave us Shot of Love , Empire Burlesque and Oh Mercy in the 80s and for that we should be grateful. “I’ll go along with the charade until I can think my way out”
One of my fav lines. I agree with what you said here too.
es simple, fueron los años en los que practico la fe catolica. Desde el mainstream conspiraron contra su obra de los 80 Pero, la mente de BD es tan grande que puede funcionar en diferentes niveles. Una obra maestra de la naturaleza.
i dont kmow has anybody seen,my love?
Weird😊
@@SweetPotatoFreak2024 odd😊
Just LOVE everything about this song! His voice,the melody and THE LYRICS!!!!!!
Yes good wee song not his best but who cares as lyrics great 'has anybody seen my love' and especially when someone has a 'Tight connection to my heart' :) lol
One of my favorites of his! I echo your sentiment plus the video that was made for it-just a perfect marriage of the two.
I apologize for swearing bob😢❤
What a tune! I just love it. That Dylan could rock! My wife - God rest her soul - gave me this album for my 40th birthday. Can see her handing it to me... life goes on like a river.
h
💕
+Gent It
Take it easy dude hope everythings well
God has
God bless you and the memory of your lovely wife.
This is terrible. And I love it.
haha so good.
It hurts to watch. I’m a good way
ever been to Japan? this is what things are still like in Japan!
Bob's a comedy genius - 'the night we called it a day.' Video may even top this one. x
so bad its good
I’ll never look at a powder blue wig rolling down a long set of stairs the same.
Bob Dylan is a genius when it comes to music and song writing. No one like him.
Great, great album. Can't understand why it's gone so unappreciated!! 80's Dylan was damn good!!!
lol No, it was mostly awful
It was a very good album.
Actually I thought it was a great album too, but I like the wine I buy from 7/11!
The 80's for Bob were NOT good , not at all , except for "Infidels" and "Oh Mercy"
@@pinanti Under a blood red sky, a very personal work, the 80s albums covered some very opaque ground.
One of the greatest songs ever written. It really touches my heart.
hockneyfication Sorry my reply is slightly late to you but have you heard Sheila Atim sing this? 😮
@@Joes45 Absolutely beautiful version of this song by Sheila Atim In Girl From The North Country. Breathtaking!
@@margaretwalker7600 Oh yea!!!
Amazing this wasn't a hit single....
Dylan Bob in the WIND
So many negative comments. What you need to understand about Dylan is that nothing really matters to him but he does have a great SOH and values a good laugh above almost everything else.
Yeah, agreed. I thought the video was hilarious
Always loved this one. So groovy and playful. On one hand, if feels like Bob is just piling Dylanesque one-liners on top of each other for the heck of it, on the other there is a story in there.
I read somewhere the lyrics to this tune actually come from movies; like, they're lines literally stolen from the scripts. Can't recall the source, however.
@@o_solovio Now thanks to you I won't be able to watch any old movies relaxed, trying to find those lines. I shouldn't have read your comment. Thank you very much ! (😎)
I remember hearing Humphrey Bogart films like the Maltese falcon. "you want to talk to me go ahead and talk" and "be easy baby ain't nothing worth stealing in here" and many more.
@@Ebert-Pincus Ah, yes. Seen it couple of times but forgot the line was in it. I actually saw it in Malta, when I stayed there for a month a few years ago. The Malta connection is of course a bit random, but an arty small cinema showed it - for me and two other people :)
"I never was able to drink that blood and call it wine
I never was able to hold your love and call you mine"
Thomas Hofheinz What do you think he means by this line?
692MOM It's a wicked twist on the communion of love vs. the "holy communion" (wine turns to blood), where the blood of love (richness and beauty but also fear) just doesn't taste like a normal pleasure that can be taken or left. So "I never was meant to hold your love and call you mine" basically means "because love was overwhelming instead of just sweet, I was never able to hold your love because I was inadequate to it (or maybe both of us were)."
That's what I think.
Thomas Hofheinz Thanks good insight!!!
Thomas Hofheinz Kinnel. It's a song. As Dylan said earlier, they are not messages, they are just songs. If you like it, great, if you don't, no problem.
All lyrics worth listening to are messages, and a metaphor like that is a strong one. He was talking about political messages, not personal messages.
Whilst I'm only the occasional Dylan listener, I'll always remember growing up listening to Bob almost every day thanks to my dad. We had "I'll Remember You" playing at his funeral. Fantastic!
❤❤
I bought this album in 1985. I love Bob Dylan. I've seen him in person 8 times. Wow
Blessed
Not even Bob could escape the 80's.
+DysnomiaFilms He should have guest starred on Miami Vice with this song.
CelestialWoodway i
More like not even the 80's could escape Bob !!
Thank God!
Thank GOD....the 80's are what make this song such a dream...
"What looks large from a distance close up ain't never that big" - Dylan's best line of his entire ouvre in the middle of what was the worst decade.
I quote that line to people all the time 🤓
I don't know why but I always loved "And they're beating the devil out of a guy, who's wearing a powdered blue weeeiiig"
I just love the way he says wig lol
an underrated song from an underrated passage in His Bobness' journey
He's the actor, playing the actor. Very deep. Oscar worthy!
His songs are so full of imagery , there is a multitude of interpretations. Jokerman is a superb example of this .....
Bob Dylan is surely a poet's Poet
Jokerman is brilliant. I feel it was his last really strong song, reminiscent of who he really is, before the voice started to go out
"I never could learn to drink that blood
And to call it wine.
I never could learn to hold you love
And to call you mine."
Great Line!!!
he is still learning....
I watch this when I'm feeling low......because if Bob can dip this low, then so can us normal people.
God I love this song!!
Sorry guys but i don´t understand all the negative opinions about Bob in the 80´s. Great albuns & songs & shows during that decade. Maybe you haven´t heard enough. Saved is a beautifull album with amazing shows, Shot of love is also great, during Infidels Bob recorded 20 great songs as good as any other time in his carrer. Amazing tour with Petty & Heartbreakers. Empire is a very good album, then Knock out & Down in the groove, so much criticism about those albuns but they also have some very good songs. Then Oh mercy & the beggining of thr Never Ending Tour. You better check out Bob Dylan in the 80´s & listen well, a different period for Bob & everybody else but still an inspired one.
i fully agree brilliant stuff in the 80,s as well gospel albu
s were class
+song&danceman Agreed 100%.
Infidels is a fabulous album (Jokerman is a classic tune; relevant today, add most of Dylan's tunes are).
Read his lyrics in order from album to album and his thought process becomes clear. (I just reread his LYRICS 1962-1985 book I bought in 1988 and read the lyrics in chronological order. Quite revealing. Touching actually. The years gone by gave me a new perspective into his unique journey as a human being.)
I think many people want to put Bob into a box. He refused that in the 1960's. He's ever changing. Perhaps his voice is truly blown out now, but in the 1980's I do think he put out relevant work that, as mentioned above, is still relevant today.
Agree
song&danceman I agree for a large part. Although I'm not a fan of Saved (Slow Train was much better), it's better than its detractors say. There's some good songs and excellent singing on it. Shot of Love is good, but has a lot of missed opportunities. Should've included Carribean Wind and Foot of Pride; should've used different for some other songs.
Infidels is very good, with Jokerman, Sweetheart, I and I, Don't Fall Apart On Me. But Union Sundown and Neigborhood Bully are terrible. And he left off Blind Willie McTell and Someone's Got a Hold of My Heart. Again, too many missed opportunities.
Empire Burlesque could've been good if it hadn't been so overproduced. The sound is very dated. As it stands now, I enjoy it for what it is but it's nowhere near his best material. The overproduction drowns out the lyrics, which are great in lots of its songs. Especially When the Night Comes Falling suffers from this. The original version with Steven van Zandt was phenomenal!
Oh Mercy is a top 10 Dylan album, just amazing. I just wished he could have kept Series of Dreams on it.
So for a large part I agree with you, even though a lot of Dylan's best songs in this period are outtakes that didn't make the studio albums. However, Knocked Out Loaded and Down in the Groove are his absolute worst albums. They are terrible. Such a mess. Bad production, bad songs, weird instrumentations, sub par singing, silly lyrics etc. Absolute bottom of the barrel, not just for Dylan but in all of pop music history.
Bob in the 80's was awesome and sadly underrated. He's at his best when he's being "weird" and this clip is both wonderfully weird and funny, which was the point.
Dylan in the 80's, what's not to like?
A lot.
One of Dylan's best albums of the 80;s Way ahead of his time, I wonder what would happen if they played this on the radio today..LoL.
What a line, 'What looks large from a distance, close up ain't never that big'
I take it to mean that the ego distorts our perceptions of reality.
It is a quote from Socrates talking about death!!
@@jdcharlwood Well thanks! It makes perfect sense.
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
The arrangement of this song is wonderful.
One of his songs that set you free. The flow of the song flows straight into your senses. Magical with great lines - "Be easy, baby, etc." Wonderful.
Every time I see a powder blue clown wig rolling down a staircase I think of this song 💃🎶
This is why the 80s was so dam awsome
Love the emotion in this song and the contrast between Bob's drawl and the gospel backing singers, who bring the song to a greater height.
love this song, Bob is so great, can't get enough Dylan
You will do for me young lady
a lady with taste indeed...
Just gets ya don't it.
It's not often you find a girl who loves dylan , the greatest singer , songwriter there will ever be, you either get dylan or you dont. Ive been into him since i was 14 im 38 now , and theres not a album or song i havent heard hundreds of versions of.

Lol that was a blast to read, thank you
24 Bob explains how he couldn't pretend the blood he drank was wine.
I never realized how many amazing players are on this jam. MIck Taylor, Mark Knopfler, Sly and Robbie...no wonder the groove is so tight. Nice call Bob.
It has to be said that the young lady in the middle of the trio of back-up singers is amazingly pretty !!!
"You're the one I've been looking for,
You're the one that's got the key.
But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you
Or you're too good for me"...
Look in the mirror, bob. She's too good for you
Antonio Roberto Macae life
Amazing lyrics love it
my son bought me this album,Empire burlesque and i love it,takes time for some music to reach you ,this period of Dylans i really did invest a lot of time in now,going back to this period i feel i missed a lot during the day,now i love it
I love how the back up singles at the chorus are tempo behind Dylan - genius!!
I can't help but love this song and video. Even Bob Dylan can do an 80s pop song. It's just glorious..!
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
I love this whole album unironically.
This song is deeper than most thinks...
A brilliant song that means so much to me in a fantastic time in my life. memories that could never be written. You would had to have been there.
I was there in my own time. It's a had to be there.
The dance at the end is the best choreography I have ever seen.
I'm gonna pretend this doesn't exist and I never saw it. Bob, how could you?!
80's man... just forget it
great song empire burlesque is a very underrated album bob is the greatest of all time someday maybe ill remember to forget
Love this song ; part of the soundtrack to my summer of '85. Brings back great memories. Dylan Rules !
Put my new earphones on. Maximum volume. You got a tight connection to my heart. The 80s are alive.
Been a dylan fan for over 15 years but only just finding his 80s work love it
masterpiece...when a genius decides to go pop the result is fantastic
This is NOT a "masterpiece" 😆
Like A Rolling Stone : that is a masterpiece.
Love this song,memories of living in Wellington ,New Zealand. Good times and along came Bob with this song..Magical times
Has anybody seen my love?
Hello Dear, how’re you doing today?
It’s nice meeting you on here!
Listening to this in 2022. I constantly have this song stuck in my head. I loved these years of his career. I don't care what anybody thinks, the man has got talent! You will forever be my teacher. ❤️ From a fan.
💛!!
I love how I was here six days ago, and I'm still listening. Has anybody seen my love? 🎸
Dylan does a conventional 'story' music video, and it's brilliant.
MAN!!! the 80's was a mean decade to everyone!!! XP
***** Sir...you mouth is so full of reason!!!
What looks large from a distance. Close up aint never that big.
Many lines in this song seem to be from Bogart movies, but this one is from a Gary Cooper movie
That's what she said.
Bob was always a great admirer of the ladies!! Not a great actor though, but no matter if you can write such lasting and spellbinding music.
a much better song than 'like a rolling stone' , 'sweetheart like you' also is miles better. in fact iv been stuck on sweetheart like you for years now, never ever sick of it, great writing, great music , timeless
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE 100 BEST DYLAN SONGS !!
oh god the dance at the end....best thing caught on video....
Yeah nice LP. I had the opportunity to get the LP from my local library when they were phasing out LP's back in the day. Mint condition for 50 cents! LoL Bob is wearing a Harley Davidson hat and it just so happens that there are 1000's of bikers in my city this weekend for the HD 120th anniversary....so NOISY!!!! Almost over!!
Gonna grab my coat I feel the breath of a storm ........ Nobody writes like Bob .😅
Not even the great Bob Dylan could escape cheesy 80s music videos
I was in college then and remember getting a chuckle of this with my friends on MTV, but I actually like it. Either you like Dylan or you don't. This has a really quirky appeal.
What looks large from a distance....close up ain't never that big!
Empire Burlesque. One of my favorite albums. Rock on Robbie Z!!
love this song its a classic
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Bob Dylan truly reflects one who knew and pursued his passion in life from the beginning....he is consistent!
Zimmi is always compelling
“I never did learn to drink that blood and to call it wine. Never did learn to hold you love, and to call you mine.” 🤯
I first heard this song as a 14yr old(30yrs ago).All i can say is,"Damn,i sure had great taste in music cos this song still gets me!" Thanks Bob!
Machiavelli end days...harsh..you coming for him or something?
Me as well. I can kinda step back into the time when I see videos from then. They got slicker and slicker as time passed. Didn't they? I guess around 84 it was big bucks production. Great tune. Dylan, IMO, actually recorded many great tunes in the 80s, even solid albums. But, yeah, WE had great taste at 14. Cheers.
You are correct.
Great song from the early summer of 1985.
Who’s listening 2021 ✨
Bob Dylan = medicine 🌈☮️
Let's send a thought to those hardcore Dylan exegetes from the early 60's who are still trying to decipher this video.
this video is all kinds of awesome
Have loved this for over 30 years
People can say whatever they want about Empire Burlesque but I love those songs and this is one of my favourite I remember me learning how to sing with the vocalists instead of studying boring maths but I used to be great at English, though😅😂This video is so brilliant and funny!
What a masterpiece 👌
Raiden wins
"what looks large from a distance, close up ain't that big" - love Bob
Empire Burlesque is an underrated album!
No one does that “man trying not to get swallowed up and destroyed by a city and its unsympathetic ecosystem” vibe like Schrader. Love that guy, and love seeing the career resurgence. It’s funny that he had such a bad time making this that he said to Dylan “Bob, if you ever hear I’m doing another music video, take me out in the backyard and hose me down.”
The video is funny, comfy to watch, the song is so beautiful, good vibes!
Dylan you're amazing!!!!!
wow haven't heard this for ages brings back some good memories. He reminds me a bit of Adam Sandler too in this clip!
I adore this song.
Who is that amazingly charismatic black singer on stage with him? She's amazing.
Oh Mother Youth Where at thou. Peace to all.
Congrats Bob on your award !! A life's work deservedly rewarded .
This is definitely my favorite Dylan song...love love love it :)
I loved this song in the 80's and still do. Bob should do an update version of Hollis Brown
"80's" Bob... just one more color in the kaleidoscope of creativity that is Dylan!
"Some day maybe I'll remember to forget."
He's a genius I must say ,my favorite singer of all time
I have always loved this song and the artist. Osome, 👌Tumeke. NZ.
Hi Celia, How are you doing?
Great music....the end is so cool. The whole song is a build-up to the end with the backup singers.... one of my favs
