Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

When I was taking anatomy class in college, I was also trying to learn to play guitar. So I would take breaks to play guitar while studying. I taught myself this song, and ended up changing the words to fit my studies. I ended up playing for the teacher and getting extra credit. I wish I remembered it all. The only part I remember is “The acetabulum articulates with the head of the femur bone. The tibia and fibula both have heads of their own. The tibia is lateral and the fibula is small, and where they come together the patella covers it all. That’s what we called the kneecap way back in preschool. But that now we know what it’s called, we can sound real cool, not like fools…. Dr. Jay’s class rules!”

[@ShawnSalvadori]

I remember hearing that putting studies in song form is a great way to memorize the material... seems you put that theory to test and aced it 😄

[@DwayneShaw1]

It's a complete movie script in a song - like "Lily, Rosemary, And The Jack Of Hearts" or, "Joey" - which is mostly a true story, like "Hurricane" "And every one of those words rang true and glowed like burning coals. Pouring off of every page like it was written in my soul ..." _ the best description I've ever heard for Dylan's lyrics. - "I made shoes for everyone, even you, and I still go barefoot" - Dylan ("I And I")

[@michaelteret4763]

Now you gotta hear the version from Dylan’s “Real Live” album - revised lyrics, it hits even harder!

[@magicbrownie1357]

Not bad...for a NOBEL PRIZE WINNER!!!! Love this entire album. Blood on the Tracks is classic Dylan!

[@DogFish-NZ]

had to join 👌 just found you ❤️ I'm 34 and own around 80 dylan cds. I love watching people experiencing different dylan songs for the first time. thank you ❤️

[@lancerx1759]

One of Dylans Best !!!

[@Brandi6666]

I think this is his finest piece🤘❤️

[@sweisbrod6109]

Rumour has it, Dylan wrote 50 verses to this song before he settled on the verses here. Sometimes, during a live performance, he will add one of the extra verses. * dealing in slaves is slang for selling drugs to seriously addicted people in their last months.*

[@russellkaplan1818]

The entire "Blood on the Tracks" album is an allegory to the end of his marriage to Sarah

[@DwayneShaw1]

Blind Boy Grunt (Dylan) is one of the greatest harmonica players of all time - one of the greatest harmonica solos is from his 'religious period'. "Every Grain Of Sand" (off "Shot Of Love" - or, "Biograph" - - - - - Early in his career Dylan used a lot of aliases - He is credited as Blind Boy Grunt on some Broadside recordings released in the Early 60's after he signed with Columbia Records. I've also heard a story that he was credited under that cognomen for harmonica on an album for a band signed to another label (don't remember the band's name - may be apocryphal) - a few other aliases; Tedham Porterhouse: Harmonica (on Ramblin' Jack Elliot album). Robert Milkwood Thomas: Piano (with Steve Goodman) I don't think Jack wrote many songs (I vaguely recall Johnny Cash might have recorded one - Dylan wrote "Wanted Man" for Cash) but he was a close friend of Woody Guthrie and had a dozen or so albums covering a lot of the great old folk songs. Steve Goodman wrote several songs, and was signed to John Prine's label - Oh Boy Records. In fact, Goodman wrote "the perfect country and western song" - "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" - the best and most famous version sung by David Allen Coe

[@chrisbanks5925]

Every track on Blood on the Tracks is a masterpiece.

[@bobschenkel7921]

"Tangled Up In Blue" is one of Mr. Zimmerman's best story songs, but of the ten times I saw him in concert, he never played it once. But he has such a huge catalog that he was always entertaining and topical. Bob Dylan is an American treasure, and every show I saw was an event worthy of the man and his legend.

[@YeungSze]

Man, it must be quite unlucky not to hear "Tangled Up In Blue" in 10 Dylan concerts, as it is his 4th most played song. He sang this song in all 3 concerts I attended, in the last one in 2018 he really turned the song into a blues🎶

[@warrenhughes911]

Yup..I saw him 3 times .he did not play it..

[@caseyanne967]

One of my favorite Dylan songs. I love the music and how he delivers the lyrics . Lyrics matter, and his are brilliant, but I care about the overall performance, not just analyzing his words.

[@alanbrown8527]

The song jumps back and forth in time as well as being about more than one woman.

[@alanbrown8527]

FYI. Dylan is a big fan of Eminem. Public Enemy as well.

[@Papabob1957]

One of my favorite songs from Dylan, such a great songwriter for all of his 60 year career You might like Bob Dylan’s Dream from the Freewheeling album

[@kevinsattler6603]

Bob Dylan.... You've got to serve someone. Peace ✌️

[@sharonpate5481]

I’ve always loved Dylan’s music. The lyrics are pure poetry and I was really into poetry as a teenager. Plus he’s cute 😎👵🏼💜☮️

[@bryandamkaer3646]

Has to be my favorite Dylan song. Glad you enjoyed it as much as I do.

[@robbob5302]

Has to be my favorite song. Dylan or not. 🙂

[@dianedavies8291]

One of my favorite Dylan songs. Love this whole album. ✌️♥️🎶

[@davidzimmerli489]

I get chills every time I listen to this song. The entire album is a masterpiece written about the falling apart of his marriage to Sarah. You can really feel his pain and regret in each track. It is probably my favorite album by Bob. Blood on the Tracks indeed ........

[@hlawrencepowell]

Love this song. I've listened to it hundreds of times since the day it was released. Classic Dylan. This album is one of the greatest albums of all time. Of course I have it on vinyl. The girl in the topless bar wasn't the girl he split up with. She was just a woman he met along the way. Same with the couple he lived with on Montague street. When that ended he decided to go back to find the girl he talked about in the beginning.

[@edprzydatek8398]

I think you got that right.

[@leekitchen8390]

Grammy winning LP, 1974

[@rexrobertson2219]

check out "a hard rain's gonna fall" & "desolation row".

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Have done both 😁

[@floorticket]

Jerry played this 264 times w/ Jerry Garcia Band. About every third night. Twice w/ The Grateful Dead in 1987 but that was w/ Dylan on vocals.

[@thomascanfield9165]

The Dead were a great backing band for Dylan. I read that he liked playing with them so much that he asked if he could join the band as a regular but they turned him down.

[@YeungSze]

Some keys in making sense of the lyrics: 1. The story is not told linearly, the beginning of the song is not the beginning of the story, if there is a coherent one. 2. The use of pronouns is tricky and open to interpretations: The "he" in the line "Then he started into dealing with slaves" can be referred to the narrator but through the third person perspective, as earlier takes in the recording session used much more "he" than "I"; and the "she" in the whole song can be referred to the same woman, but it can be equally making sense that they are referring to different women. 3. Only one thing is certain: the narrator is constantly in motion. Check also "You're a Big Girl Now", "Shelter from the Storm", "Idiot Wind", and "If You See Her, Say Hello" and get some of the best singings in the whole career of Dylan.🙂

[@bradlymiller4936]

We always did feel the same we just saw it from a different point of view!!!!!!! Solid finish. I have seen Dylan live several times, everytime he performed this song he changed the lyrics. In fact he even did do a christian version of this song.

[@jnagarya519]

No -- the first woman was in Minnesota. The one who was divorced was Sara, whom he married.

[@robbob5302]

One of my three favorite songs, ever. A true masterpiece.

[@bobdelp2023]

👍😊

[@joelliebler5690]

One of Bob’s best story and music.

[@dougca7086]

React to Forever Young live Bob Dylan with the Band

[@AP-gb3eh]

Not a linear story of one woman it’s more a timeline of women encountered. I miss the world where you ran into people who read poetry and the writing of philosophers,it was a time of expanding your consciousness not only drugs but literature. Happily I spent many a luscious night talking ideas, humanity and beauty of the arts over cheap wine in shitty apartments with beautiful young seekers . Also the world was very brutal to women who didn’t conform in the early 60 that was going strong

[@bobdelp2023]

HE WAS ALSO TANGLED UP IN ( BLUE ) GIB 😊 JONI'S 71 EPIC RELATIONSHIP ALBUM 👍😊 ( JONI MITCHELL )

[@tomasbaker1912]

This is one of Bob's great ones for sure. One of his very brst that will shoehorn nicely with this is "Changing of the Guard". It is fantastic!

[@dianedarby442]

I always interpreted that section as her telling him about her life after they separated all those years ago - which brings me to why should would be working in a topless bar - after dealing with "him" - the man she finally left - and his dealing with slaves, etc. - dragging her into a horrible lifestyle from which she finally escaped - so she, too, was tangled up in blue. After that meeting, he realized she's the one for him and he wants to go back and find her. Loved the reaction! And Blood on the Tracks in general.

[@intothesunset3]

Great song from an amazing album♥

[@paulchurch1928]

Love this song. Those are two different ladies in the song.

[@IrishKack]

So glad you finally got to this one. I just love his story telling. Great reaction.

[@steveullrich7737]

Lots of great songs from this album "Blood on the Tracks" that you should listen to such as "Shelter From the Storm", "Simple Twist of Fate" and "You're a Big Girl".

[@cherrypickerguitars]

I play this song every Saturday at y matinees! Took me months to get all the lyrics down - and that was 40 yrs ago when my brain was a perfect machine! Lol Peace

[@johnathanstruble1064]

👍

[@mejbarron]

The form of Shakespearean sonnets Shakespeare's sonnets are composed of 14 lines, and most are divided into three quatrains and a final, concluding couplet, rhyming abab cdcd efef gg. This sonnet form and rhyme scheme is known as the 'English' sonnet. Bob 'contains multitudes' . He has a song by that name in RRW album 2020. It is found in a poem by Henry David Thoreau. Bob is the One,

[@famat161]

This is the one I've been waiting for although I didn't realize it until now.

[@maggiebryan2355]

Such a great song off agreat album

[@jrepka01]

"All the people we used to know, they're an illusion to me now" These verses aren't all about the same woman. A particular person might be in multiple verses, But verse 1 and verse 2 are different, and the topless waitress in verse 4 might be the same person he's with in verse 5 , but she's different from verse 1 & 2 and the woman on Montague Street in verse 6, who might be an earlier version of the divorcee in verse 2. And, as you say, the cut on Blood on the Tracks is not the same as the many different live versions he's played over the years, which suggests that the different women in the different verses are fluid, and he may be referring to different people and different relationships in different versions of the song.

[@jaredsearle4278]

That album was great. Try Lilly Rosemarie and the Jack of hearts on that same record.

[@bartstarr100]

It's not necessarily a song about one person In a serial story. He has said that this song can be about different people in a painting.

[@robbob5302]

I know he said that. But if it’s not the same woman the song falls apart. So for me, it’s always one woman. One Jenny. Making all the wrong decisions. With her Forrest there, always ready to get her out.

[@melissakhalar1842]

Love Mr. Bob Dylan ❤. Can't remember if you have done his song Hurricane if not it's worth a listen.

[@jerrydelacruz5119]

They broke up because they were on the lamb, running from the law - "used a little too much force."

[@lindasalaki9404]

That was 🔥🔥☮️

[@marleybob3157]

There are about eight or nine Dylan albums that battle to be my favorite. "Blood on the Tracks" usually wins.

[@johnthegreek5836]

Great song from a fantastic songwriter and his vocals fit his songs; I actually agree with you about Eminem, I never liked his songs when he was popular but as I’m older his writing and songs are great but Dylan is a better songwriter

[@randyjohnson6960]

"LADY IN BLACK" By Uriah Heep

[@WMalven]

Lyrics? Check out Tom Waits.

[@jnagarya519]

This LP is about the end of his marriage.

[@markgallemore8856]

Two different women ?

[@warrenhughes911]

Bob is the G.O.A.T...not thise sportd giys .

[@theoryaminute]

Eminem can be amazing, but he's no Bob Dylan. Just sayin...

[@dyl-annfan6]

Eminem definitely not Bob Dylan, never will be .. Dylan's unique, a one off, irreplaceable the likes of whom we will never see again, plus he has the Nobel Prize for Literature

[@ShawnSalvadori]

They're too different to compare side by side, but as someone who enjoys masterful writers, I like Eminem as well. Given his style and approach (vulgar, shock value, classless and offensive) I definitely don't expect many of my viewers to want to listen or acknowledge his greatness with lyricism, and I can't blame them because his style can be off-putting; but regardless his skill is there. He is a wordsmith and one of the best of all time

[@Hexon66]

@@ShawnSalvadori It's not merely that they can't be compared side by side. Eminem is great in his field, but he's not in the same league as Dylan. Dylan has a complexity, depth and variety of lyricism that is unmatched. There is a knowledge of literature and musical history that is seemingly endless. I love John Prine, in some lyric stylings, even more than Dylan. But yet still, he doesn't cover the spectrum as much as Bob.

[@ShawnSalvadori]

@@Hexon66 I agree he is no Dylan. Dylan's writing is much different and he has his status for a reason and rightfully so. I have appreciated his work so much to this point that I'm almost addicted to hearing more and more from him 😅

[@dyl-annfan6]

My yardstick, name ANYONE who has written and performed "Last Thoughts of Woody Guthrie" - by Bob Dylan live aged 21 years old ... check it out
