Bob Dylan - You Ain't Goin' Nowhere (Official Audio)

[@Justlookingmostly]

My father listened to Bob Dylan all my young life. My brother hates it now, but I love it. Feels like home to me. Miss you dear old Dad ❣️

[@EdgarStyles1234]

Rest in peace dad.

[@d1973ld]

Very good friend, your brother gets it, so do you.

[@marcosmontalvo9589]

Years ago my twin brother and I were listening to Bob Dylan while working on his 66 Chevy Impala. While doing so I happened to look up and noticed my father looking out the door of our home. Shortly after my brother took his own life. I've never been the same. Anyway years later I was listening to Dylan when my father sprung a conversation about that day years earlier. He told me he has never forgotten that day. It was the first time he'd heard of Bob Dylan. It was also that day he'd fallen in love with his music. My father has long been gone. What an incredible inspiration to have had such a cool father. I deeply miss them both.

[@nikitakelley]

@marco …… Very sorry for your losses. 💞

[@kevincomtois8007]

Thanks for your story. Dylan has done many good things with his music, including spurring memories.

[@SpindlyScoundrel]

Isn't it amazing that after 20+ years of listening to Dylan, reading books and magazines and seeing him live I can still find a song I've inexplicably never heard before and it's the best thing ever!?

[@masche54]

Love this song and many more of his! Hooked on him since I was 16 . Will never be another Dylan

[@davesouthwick970]

Will die with his songs in my heart. As I've been repeatedly reminded for many years, his voice may not have much range in the boring "muso" context, but no other vocalist will ever come close in terms of instinctual infection & expression. Only The Byrds & Jimi Hendrix ever added value to his songs, through respect & sheer talent.

[@michaelcraig9449]

SKILLS not talent. Talent alone does nothing unless you practice constantly

[@eargasm1072]

A little credit to the Band, George Harrison, Manfred Mann & the Turtles too...their respective covers of Dylan are pretty damn good as well

[@jacquelinecleverley5906]

Fairport Convention did brilliant covers and even Dylan liked them.

[@joelbabb4752]

[@Stonecrow25]

And of course Garcia & the Grateful Dead

[@nikpiz9874]

"You kept up your end of the bargain" Thanks Bob.

[@jillschoenfeldwhite5534]

One of Bob's most uplifting lyrics describing the joy of Honeymoon period of newlyweds with a great melody and harmonica. I purchased the DVD of the 30th anniversary concert and love the performance of this song by female trio of Mary Chapin Carpenter, Roseanne Cash and Shawn Colvin.

[@Fukafukafufu]

Have discovered this man's world in the past 6mth. Bob's world is difficult to learn because he stuck to his own guns and ended up making the brilliant mainstream acts (at the time, corporate...feast on that in 2023) of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Zepp, Springsteen etc. look like bubblegum pop. He was more "My Way" than Frank Sinatra. My time and effort was so worth it, and this tune celebrates that.

[@timothyjones3410]

His harmonica work shows great promise. We need to encourage this sort of thing.

[@c.patricia6030]

My grandpa (papa) and I have sang this song since I was 4 years old. We still sing this song and now I’m 28 years old. He plays the acoustic and I sing and we will be singing this til the day we die. Ooowwiiee!

Silly me, I didn't know that it was Dylan who penned this one, like so many other songs of his that were popularized by others. Of course.

Bob Dylan is a genius, his songs are so great that it's impossible to make a bad cover (even if you have talent in music). Sometimes, I hear on the radio some songs, I think: "Oh, it's not too bad... Hey, it's a Dylan's song! That's why it's good" I love the Byrd's version too. :o)

Love this version for 2 reasons. 1) Harmonica reminds me of John Wesley Harding from 1967 as well. 2) The lyrics (which I've typed up below) are more fun than that "official" version, seem to be influenced by "Tattle O'Day" (aka "Little Brown Dog"). Clouds so swift The rain fallin in Gonna see a movie called Gunga Din Pack up your money put up your tent in the wind You ain’t a goin nowhere Ooh Wee ride me high Tomorrow's the day that my bride's a gonna come Ooh wee, we gonna fly down in the easy chair Genghis Khan and his brother Don Couldn’t keep on keepin on We’ll climb that ridge after it’s gone After we’re way past it Ooh Wee ride me high Tomorrow's the day that my bride's a gonna come Ooh wee, we gonna fly down in the easy chair Buy me some rings and a gun that sings A flute that toots and a bee that stings A sky that cries and a bird that flies A fish that walks and a dog that talks Ooh Wee ride me high Tomorrow's the day that my bride's a gonna come Ooh wee, we gonna fly down in the easy chair Ooh Wee ride me high Tomorrow's the day that my bride's a gonna come Ooh wee, we gonna fly down in the easy chair
