There are thousands of songwriters but it takes the perfect voice to make it endured thru the ages. Joan Baez made all her songwriters famous by her beautiful voice and spirit. Her voice will never be matched on earth. God bless you Joan Baez.
ich war 12, als ich den Song das erste Mal hörte, und jetzt nach 43 Jahren.. noch immer dasselbe Feeling..absolut zeitlos und großartig das Lied :-) danke Joan Baez :-)
My mom passed away a few months ago.. she would always send people happy songs to brighten their days. I found all the ones she sent me and made a playlist.. got curious and started looking through her phone to see what she sent friends and this was one she sent on a friends birthday. But the words are what my mom said day in day out, I miss her words of encouragement terribly, but she still manages to put little breadcrumbs like this in front of me to find to let me know she’s thinking about me, and like she always said, love transcends time and space. This song is beautiful thank you.
my favourite female singer by a long way ,followed her music since early sixties young lad of 14 then. seen her in cardiff a few years back with my mate mark, hes past away now but i know hes still listening to her from up above. god bless mark.
I heard a prayer once for a child being christened, thinking the words sounded familiar. Afterwards, it hit me, the lyrics to a Dylan song. I've listened so many times, thinking about all I still wish for my daughter, though almost 19, I pray the same as day she was born. Today, after seeing a post by dear friend's of their child being christened, I find myself back to my playlist...searching for the cover of the song I love most. Sadness holding my heart when realizing the christening happened over a month ago, another reminder how fragile connections are when miles, life events happen at once. That's the beautiful thing about babies though, they have a way of gently pointing you to what truly matters, family, love...eachother...checking in on those you care about. Watching again, feeling so much joy for them, the beauty of God's presence in the sanctuary, his promise... My heart is thankful, listening to this song for almost an hour, being reminding of his promise, guidance, protection, new beginnings, is a message I never grow tired of hearing. To any mother who may read this: I may not know you, but I know being a mom is tough. The light in your child, is also in you. Never forget this. There will be days you doubt yourself, days you question why God trusted you with them, moments you may even want to give up. It's ok. Even when your light may dim, remember even the sun is hidden by clouds on the brightest of days. Trust yourself. Ask for help when you need it. Sometimes, days...weeks...just suck. Proverbs 31 or not, kids, life can throw curveballs and often, there isn't anything funny in attempts to dodge, or go strike out trying hit those babies out of the proverbial park of parenthood. Screw it. Shine on anyway. Cry in a bowl of ice cream with double fudge, peanut butter cheesecake and post the moo moo you wore with caramel sauce stains if it makes you deliriously happy at 2:30 on a Tuesday afternoon, before a PTA meeting. Or don't! :) You gave life to another person. You owe no one an explanation for any mini or epic breakdown it may cause. As Alicia Keys would belt it "...NO ONE, NO ONE...."😘 Love and blessings to you. #foreveryoung
Patrzę w Twoje oczy -takie prawdziwe i słucham Twojej pieśni - takiej prawdziwej, jestem już dość stary ciałem ale duch żyje latami 70 -tymi i żyje ...i żyje - DZIĘKUJĘ TOBIE I BOBOWI - żyjcie wiecznie :)
This song never fails to uplift me. I have been listening to it for about 45 years and everytime I hear it, especially sung by Joan, it revitalises me. Thank you Bob and Joan. Ria - Dublin, Ireland
You've read my mind,the episode I'll always remember is ''The private buthead'' when Wayne tries to join the army but he fails on the phisical test. Very good memory you've got.
I've heard this song so many times on the show "The Wonder Years", especially when they were notified that Brian Cooper had been killed in Viet Nam. I almost forgot this song was by Bob Dylan.
I like the slower tempo this is coming in at- the other clip(s) I've seen of this version seem to have been a little quicker. Makes it easier to hear where she's really pitching the notes, somehow.
This is one of the best versions of this song. Richard Shaw is the author of Wendy Sayvetz, Judy Collins and Joan Baez the beauty of folk music. Audible.Com
