It’s such a testament to Dylan as a songwriter and performer that he could take this sweet, hopeful 1966 song about the anticipation of new love and rework it into a devastating dirge for lost love nearly thirty years later without changing a word.
I get nothing but the original message - the cracked bells and washed out horns, blow into his face with scorn, but it’s not that way, he wasn’t born to lose her. You could play this at a wedding.
Once I understood him, I found that I couldn't live without Bob Dylan! I just love him! His soul and his music have brought me through some of the most horrific and the best times of my life. Bob's voice, guitar and harmonica caress my heart and soul way, way down into the deepest and tiniest fissures, holes and cracks. He understands human nature so well. A good, dear friend got me interested in Bob's recordings. For that, among other things, I am eternally grateful! Thank you, Mr. Dylan and thank you, Tony!
They say every man needs protection, they say everyman must fall, yet I see my reflection someplace above this wall. I see my light come shining from the west down to the east. Any day now I s
@@mrtambourine1753 there are two outtakes of this from Unplugged, right? This one here is the one I used to listen to over and over- great example of Bobby's live art (songs as "blueprints") and one of his best ever rearrangements.
Maybe the best version ever. There is only one person on this planet who can do it this way. Thank you Bob and mr.tambourine - like so many times before.
I love you, Bob Dylan, your music, this one makes me cry, because I think of you and how much I love you, and want you to be happy, and your voice well. I pray for us to be together before to long, before I go crazy 💞💞💞❤️Beth 🌹🌹🌹🌚🎨🎶🎶🎶🎶🍯🎤🎸🎸🎸🎹🎧🎤🙏🕊️
I love Bob Dylan, We are blessed to have him, I ask myself, with sadness, how many potential Bob Dylan had their lives wiped out in Hitler's death camps, may they all rest in eternal peace.
Margaret, yes,how many potential Victims of War Crimes in Nazi's Death Camps,Gods Chosen Ones,who would have contributed with their gifts and humanism to the World. I would also add, SMI, serious mentally ill, my son, being one, are usually very intelligent, artistically gifted people. So many are neglected, no treatment available,or undertreated.SMI have been neglected for decades.
I'll be 56 years old this December and ever since my career building teacher in my sophomore class turned me onto him and that same year I received the infamous album I couldn't get off my turn table and 28 concerts later you discover another side of his unplugged album. I want you is top notch and only Dylan and his iconic voice make this great song even better. I don't know if that's a slide guitar or what but OMG it has you hooked then pow Dylan comes in with his Raspy voice that I so wish I had to put the icing on this great song. Awesome slideshow btw many pics I have never seen. Heading up to Duluth Minnesota in a week or two to see his old home for a spiritual getaway. Thanks for posting..
I Want You The guilty undertaker sighs The lonesome organ grinder cries The silver saxophones say I should refuse you The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow into my face with scorn, but it's Not that way, I wasn't born to lose you I want you I want you I want you, so bad Honey, I want you The drunken politician leaps Upon the street where mothers weep And the saviors who are fast asleep, they wait for you And I wait for them to interrupt Me drinkin' from my broken cup And ask me to open up the gate for you I want you I want you Yes I want you, so bad Honey, I want you How all my fathers, they've gone down True love they've been without it But all their daughters put me down 'Cause I don't think about it Well, I return to the Queen of Spades And talk with my chambermaid She knows that I'm not afraid to look at her She is good to me and there's Nothing she doesn't see She knows where I'd like to be but it doesn't Matter I want you I want you Yes I want you, so bad Honey, I want you Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit he Spoke to me, I took his flute No, I wasn't very cute to him, was I? But I did it, because he lied and Because he took you for a ride And because time was on his side and Because I Want you I want you Yes I want you, so bad Honey, I want you Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Bob Dylan
Brilliant version by Bob Dylan. Love from a fan of yours Adam. Take care of yourself Bob Dylan. I really enjoy your great music videos. Have a great new year Bob Dylan.
1995 was an awesome year for Bob. I think this is my favorite version as well. I love the rawness in his voice here... I love the pictures as well. I love seeing him smile. ❤️
To me, this is just one of many, continent banter songs between John Lennon and Bob. Bob's answer to the Beatles repetitive songwriting appeal to teenagers, about desperate and possessive love is just a song, "I want You." Bobs version vs. I Want To Hold Your Hand.
In this lonely sea of madness strife and accusations I forgot which way was up no more will to pursue waiting my sentence to be done no direction known all have forgotten this new kid in town they cast his bbn body on the street dying in his sleep.
