    Lyrics:
    Do you love me, or are you just extending goodwill?
    Do you need me half as bad as you say, or are you just feeling guilt?
    I’ve been burned before and I know the score
    So you won’t hear me complain
    Will I be able to count on you
    Or is your love in vain?

      Rolling Stone has been unreliable and printing fake news for years. I believe they also panned "Led Zeppelin II"---one of the best albums ever. The editor Jann Wenner kept the group Chicago out of the Rock and Roll HOF because of a dis that one Chicago member made about Rolling Stone in the 70's. Roling Stone sucks and so apparently does Wenner.

    *Dylan was at his best, or at least as lyrically colorful as any period of time with his Street Legal LP. I believe this song was about his Wife, since this was written during his painful divorce.*

  •  Před rokem +4

    • @dbradx
      @dbradx Před rokem +3

      This album has been described as capturing Bob halfway between divorce and Jesus, as he became a born-again Christian not long after its release. The divorce was intense, bitter and nasty with Bob, Sara and the kids all walking away with some scars. The songs are deeply personal and a different vibe than anything Bob recorded before - it didn't help that the audio mix on the original release wasn't great, so Bob's great lyrics got a bit lost in the music. As a result, it wasn't very well-received, but with time I think most have realized it's one of his best.

  • @yonidimoni
    @yonidimoni Před 2 lety +7

    Always thought it was inspired by Spanish group Mocedades: listen to the beginning of "Eres tú", and the lyrics to "Tómame o déjame". Another example of loving and thieving. But it does not lessen Dylan's work. As in "Restless farewell" and so many others, he is a genius creating a great song out of another great one

      In my opinion, it is right next to (you guessed it) Blood on the Tracks. It’s THAT good. People thought this was his first leak in his repertoire after Desire but I largely disagree. Yeah, it went for a sort of preachy pop gospel transition with a mix or R&B that were on the scene in the late 70s but that’s what makes it so irresistible.

    LYRICS:
    Do your love me, or are you just extending goodwill ?
    Do you need me half as bad as you say, or are you just feeling guilt ?
    I've been burned before and I know the score
    So you won't hear me complain
    Will I be able to count on you
    Or is you love in vain ?
    Are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude ?
    When I am in the darkness, why do you intrude ?
    Do you know my world, do you know my kind
    Or must I explain ?
    Will you let me be myself
    Or is you love in vain ?
    Well I've been to the mountain and I've been in the wind
    I've been in and out of happiness
    I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings
    And I've never been too impressed.
    All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
    If I'm a fool you can have the night, you can have the morning too
    Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow
    Do you understand my pain ?
    Are you willing to risk it all
    Or is you love in vain ?
    Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow
    Do you understand my pain ?
    Are you willing to risk it all
    Or is you love in vain?

      @@edited7382 I am truly shocked to hear that the buyer of Bob's song catalogue has done this on UTube. If they use his name when posting the songs, can it be reported to the UTube community tactfully? I wonder if Bob trusted this person, and then, did they purposely wait a certain amount of time before releasing them ? The eventuality probably should have been surmised and written up in the bill of sale. The importance of following through with a class action lawsuit is a must. No doubt there is a legal paper trail of other famous songwriters who have had their works pirated or underhandedly bootlegged.Therefore current songwriters should rally with Bob in a class action lawsuit and each video post not receiving approval of the artist should come with a warning. It is hurtful to the Dylan/Zimmerman clan and can only result in blood stained money. This sale of the songbook should have had a contractual codicil regarding royalties resulting from internet postings to be paid to the songwriter and/or family.I pray that Jakob will address this betrayal of confidence i.e. gentlemens' agreement to act with loyalty and respect toward the goodwill of the artist.This should never ever happen again to any artist/singer/ songwriter!
