| Bob Dylan – Where Are You Tonight? Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This is a brilliant song, up there with his best. I loved this album from the first time I heard it. Since there can be no "best Dylan album" I won't rate it but it's near the top for me. I don't understand why people crap all over it. Maybe I'm influenced by the fact that the first of the 30 or so concerts I've seen was the one touring with this album, though he only played two songs from Street Legal, including Where are you Tonight? I actually have a recording of the show. Anyway, I always thought the line : If you don’t believe there’s a price for this sweet paradise Remind me to show you the scars was" If you don't believe there's a Christ in this sweet paradise...." Which is also brilliant plus being advance notice of his born again thing which started right afterwards. Another line that always intrigued me is: I left town at dawn, with Marcel and St. John Strong men belittled by doubt Love the line. But who in hell are Marcel and St. John. Researching this, it seems that a church, called St John's Abbey, hugely important in the Catholic church, is located not that far from Mr. Dylan's Farm outside of Minneaoplis. It was designed by Marcel Breuer...that's all I got so far...anybody got other ideas? |
