This song is about the meaning of life and love to me. What do you love about life? I love nature, mountains, rivers. I love the sun, the moon and the stars. I love music. I love people who remind me that life is fragile and that we are all imperfect and broken. And that we must, simply MUST enjoy ourselves and love one another. We are all going to be gone before we know it.
"Tomorrow is a Long Time" reminds me of these things. It breaks my heart every time I hear it. (And, the man who turned me on to it broke my heart. How ironic.) It is about the beauty in nature and in people. And LOVE. How love is so rare and beautiful. It happens once in a lifetime if we are lucky. And I was lucky.
Even if it feels like "blood on the tracks", it is love, and as long as I am alive I will feel grateful for the feelings I have experienced.
I will always and forever treasure the man who brought me true love. I will always wish I could be with him. This song makes me remember just how much I wish things could be different. And remind me of the feelings that he gave me when I looked into his eyes.
Life is beautiful. Music is amazing. In my opinion, you can't have life without music. And, "Tomorrow is a Long Time" is a true gem. Bob Dylan is a genius.
If your heart is broken, consider yourself lucky. Life is so sad, but it is beautiful. And so is this song.
@tomorrowisalongtime Yes I feel you. Imo life without music is possible, without love would be much harder. But without music, it's possible, it's just the fact that we speak our souls through it - that's ehy music is all around. Music shouldn't be competition, music is not any of it. Well, it's just my opinion.
But I highly belive that there is more to music. I don't know if you know/remember the scene from Batman Begins when Bruce talks to Rachel and says something like "you know, the way you see me, that's not really me. Deep inside, I'm different, I...

I don't know if you know/remember the scene from Batman Begins when Bruce talks to Rachel and says something like "you know, the way you see me, that's not really me. Deep inside, I'm different, I am... I am more"... 'more' - that's the key word! That's exactly how I feel about music. It may seem it's just another money maker, another pointless trade, to help our ego's or whatever, but if you look deeper... that's where it is. It comes naturally, it is just another language, another way of communicating and expressing ourselves. To write a song it is more than just sing a couple of empty words, it is something special, that makes other humans feel special, and that affects so many people in some many different ways...
I guess you love him the way Bruce loved Rachel. I feel the same about one girl. Another great music 'healer' for our broken hearts would be 'I'll be your baby tonight', 'all I really wanna do' 'tomorrow night', 'Canadee i o'... all of them were sung by Dylan... and lately I fell in love in ELO album 'Alone in the universe'. Highly reccomend all of it, worth a listen!
