| Bob Dylan – Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Who/what is Tom Thumb? I believe the name of the first train to ever run was called Tom Thumb, but I'm not sure if this has any relation to the song. Can anyone help me out? | |
| Bob Dylan – I Want You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Bob Dylan is honestly what gets me through the day. I'm going through sort of those dumb and annoying situations involving a boy, and I needed a song to relate to. I started listening to "I Want You" and my day just made a lot more sense. I think everyone could find their lives in Bob Dylan's music if they just listened. | |
| Mischief Brew – Roll Me Through the Gates of Hell Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is so amazing. the first verse blows my mind. It shows Peterson's ability to be an amazing songwriter, "I'm a bad girl with a hope for better days, my laughter is spiced with mischief" and is amzing ability as a revolutionary, "On the boarder of utopia i'll toast to anarchy!" | |
| Mischief Brew – Nomads Revolt Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is amazing. The meaning is pretty much self-explanatory. But when I listen to this, it reminds me that no matter how much I vow now to never settle down, it may be inevitable. I look at my parents' generation of the hippies and the wanderers and everything and most of them are all settled down. After all, the nomads ARE settling down... |

| Bob Dylan – Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
A few musings and bits of info: The "magazine husband" was magazine photographer Hans Lownds, Sara's first husband. A man who helped me with my creative writing said once that, "If you start with the particular in your writing, you'll end up with this general." This is exactly what Dylan does in this song. He starts with the particular- his experiences and his love for Sara. Then he arrives at the general. Everyone on this page has connected to the song because all they really want is for someone to feel about them the way Dylan feels for Sara in this song. We all just want someone to "wait" like Bob does. The song makes me feel that Sara has been wronged by everyone- "Farmers', "Businessmen", "Magazine husband"- and that she's trapped in the "lowlands" of her mind. She has a "gate" up around her "ghost like soul" but Dylan is prepared to wait to get close to her. I wish the stupid people my age who think that love songs are that crap on the radio with fake voices and passion could hear this. THIS is a love song. |
