I think this is a great song, and I'm really looking forward to the new album now! Great move by putting it up for free download for one day only, can't get enough of it. Not so sure about the meaning but it seems to me to just be about how bad things are getting, and there's nothing to celebrate beyond his love with this pretty baby. Maybe the ship (a sign of change in earlier songs) being stuck in the harbour with nowhere to go is kind of bleak? Change has come but everything's the same? What do you all think? |

This is a great song, one of my favourite of Dylan's, and I'm really impressed by all the analysis here. Personally I also thought it was about Dylan and the folk movement, however woodshadow is right that it's written on many levels and it's about what speaks to you the listener. Also if you enjoy both this version and Jimi Hendrix's, try the cover by Eddie Vedder and the Million Dollar Banshees from the soundtrack of I'm Not There, well I liked it. Of course Dylan's version is the best but that's worth a listen. |
