    Dylan’s songs are deceptively hard to cover well. It’s not about the notes and chords it’s about the phrasing and expression and intention of the songs. This song is extensively covered because of its timeless classic beauty. Many covers are valiant attempts but fall short somehow. This cover is really good and faithful to the Dylan version. I also have my own cover of this up on my channel if you’re interested. I changed the key and gave it a different vibe but strived to reproduce the world intensity of passion.

      Yeah true. You don't need to play the original version immediately. It's a good song to learn guitar I think. Some basic chords, nice lyrics and a rather simple melody. Later when you get comfortable you can learn the picking picking pattern and the runs.

    I'm getting so fucking tired of seeing an endless amount of people complaining about modern day artists covering old legends like Bob or Jimmy Hendrix.. Be grateful these artists were inspired by these legends which led them into covering these songs. If they didn't, most younger people would't have ever heard these really well written lyrics. "He isn't worth the song", "His bubblegum voice shouldn't sing these lyrics" , "He is singing this so bad". Jezus Christ, have you guys even listened once closely to Bob's singing? He was arguably the worst singer of his time who was able to hit the charts. To me it simply sounds like a bunch of elders who aren't willing to open up their eyes to artists of the present...

    LYRICS:
    Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
    Ifin' you don't know by now
    An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
    It'll never do some how
    When your rooster crows at the break a dawn
    Look out your window and I'll be gone
    You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
    Don't think twice, it's all right
    And it ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, babe
    The light I never knowed
    An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
    I'm on the dark side of the road
    But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
    To try and make me change my mind and stay
    We never did too much talkin' anyway
    But don't think twice, it's all right
    No it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
    Like you never done before
    And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
    I can't hear ya any more
    I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' wallkin' way down the road
    I once loved a woman, a child I am told
    I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
    But don't think twice, it's all right
    So long honey babe
    Where I'm bound, I can't tell
    Goodbye is too good a word, babe
    So I just say fare thee well
    I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
    You could have done better but I don't mind
    You just kinda wasted my precious time
    But don't think twice, it's all right

    • @danielplainview1
      @danielplainview1 Před 3 lety

      The finger picking and the hammers in the original make the soulful aspect of it for me. And yes I can pick up a guitar and play them. Granted Ed’s voice is more mournful, but the song is really about the underlying feelings that linger behind the lyrics for this person, and the almost coarse adolescent tone of Dylan’s delivery shows that in a way this version doesn’t. Ed’s version knows what the relationship meant to him but Dylan’s version conveys that voice didn’t fully get what it was abandoning.

Dylan says hes interpreting a song others were singing at the time. He says its a hard song to sing but he hopes he'll get it right some day. And in case you didnt know. Its Bruce Langhorn on guitar with Dylan playing harmonica. Its on Capital records. Some one of you must have the record. Read the jacket cover please.
