[@berachtdorian6191]

That's pretty much what Dylan himself said about this song. He said that each line was the start of a song and rather than write all of the songs he made one song out of them.

[@desallen2174]

Sixty years for me as well. Only one thing in reply, "Too bloody right".

[@jimrubin6059]

Dylan is an amazing writer. Take your pick of a song of his and listen. There's "the Masters of War" ,"The Times they are a Changing", "With God on our Side". There are so many songs. "Blowing in the Wind," "Mr. Tambourine Man", etc.

[@cindylewis3325]

What you said is so true.

[@emmalouie1663]

Yeah, it sounds like the song "Lord Ronald" sung by John MacDonald.. "What had you for dinner Lord Ronald my son...what had you for dinner my handsome young man".... (where have you been my blue eyed son, and where have you been my darling young one)... it probably is a very old song older than the Bob Dylan version.

Bob Dylan was 21 when he wrote this. It sounds like he was a thousand.

Possibly one of the best things to ever come out of the US. A living Shakespeare.

[@adriandumont-namin-extreme9282]

Dear RoofRack2 - I was just explaining this to my wife this very night. I am very blessed, if you don’t mind me explaining, to have a wonderful wife from Persia, or Iran, as we know it. Despite the disgraceful portrayal of Iranian people in western media, Iran is a land of poets - truly. Whereas myself and yourself might think of Shakespeare or James Joyce or Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman, there are truly many, many Iranian poets both living and historical - Hafiz, khayam, Ferdowsi and Rumi to name few. Nonetheless, after a wonderful evening with great friends this evening I mentioned to my wife just how amazing Bob Dylan is. I was amazed to think how, after 6 years of marriage we hadn’t really spoken about the genius that is a Bob Dylan. Anyway, I related to her that like the great American forefathers, Bob Dylan was a true, genius poet from the USA who had influenced pretty much everyone since the Beatles up until many people of the present day. It was a strange moment. I realised I had spent the last 20 years of my life discovering poets of the world only to come back to the genius I started listening to 20 years ago. I had the definite feeling that Bob Dylan is truly one of the world’s greatest poets. It made me very happy to speak to Iranian expletive about this genius just as I am happy to speak to us westerners about the great poets of Persia. But it was just interesting - I don’t think there has walked a greater poet than this man - and in song form too. I’m going on a little now but I am a great fan of the USA. I think your country is extremely important in the worlds development and I thank God for heroes like Bob Dylan. Many thanks to you guys.

[@andreworlans298]

I differ to beg with you--There are plenty of Dylan covers that are great. My favorite is Bill Camplin: See if you can get your hands on a copy of Bill Camplin's "Dylan Project One", 2003. "I was wanting to write / brilliant liner notes / but could not / Best reason to do Bob Dylan material / It needs no liner notes" It's a little hard to track down but you won't be disappointed if you do.

[@susieq2n60]

I was in 6th grade singing, blowing in the wind. At 10-11, I had no idea who sang or wrote it, much less what it meant

[@helenafantl551]

Well if we were millions to hang on every one of his words for 60 years, it means that his voice conveyed something that became part of our inner self. It seems to me that every single singer dreams his voice be able to have this impact. Singing is not about technique, it s about vibrating of sensibility.

[@MarcosBryant-lj8zi]

What do you admire most about Bob

[@dejanjovanovic2298]

it's about feelling what you sing. He's the author of his songs, so he absolutly feells. There are songs he performed in a different way on concerts. For instance, i adore "Mr. Tambourine Man", but i didn't liked the way he sang it at one of concerts. Words were broken. "Tommo...row", "So....row". But on some smaller concerts he performed it perfectly. of course, he was performing his feelings at certain moment. Many years after appearing of the song, he couldn't feel it the same way

[@suzyanderson7395]

​@@dejanjovanovic2298I've wondered how on earth he remembered the words, even though he wrote them. I have to admit it: I'll listen to The Byrds and tend to think: yeah, enough is enough! But on certain days, you revert to Dylan. But unfortunately, those are the difficult times when it's Dylan. This is basically a junkies theme song.

First heard Bob Dylan in 1966 when I went to Pittsburgh on a scholarship from Pakistan. I still have his LP Blonde on Blonde. That’s when I also got introduced to Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, and the like. They were the ones that were my companion in loneliness in a land far off from where I was from. I treasure those days.

This is probably the most compelling and darkest song ever written, and yet... in the middle of all this darkness there's this wonderful line: "I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow"... without Dylan, Rock'n'Roll would still and only be dancefloor music... at best

So true.

[@nononewsfan]

@Spencer Phelps True... to a certain extent. Really, I did not wish to go down that path but since you mention it I have to say that I was thinking white man's R'n'R. Again, it's true that this form of R'n'R stripped the Blues and R'n'B of it's soul, literally, turning it into a teenage form of only dancefloor love songs. That said, although Blues and jazz had soul well beyond any other form of popular music, save a few exceptions, it was neither systematically protest nor topical (until the advent of Rap). Dylan may have drawn a lot from the blues (certainly has), as well as other forms of music, but he put back soul and mind into R'n'R.

[@xrxs1020]

This is my favorite song of his, and one of the greatest songs ever written in my estimation, but I'll quibble about ''no mistakes''. I think his guitar playing barely survives the last two beats, but Dylan manages to just make it to the finish line. Given how perfect the overall performance was, I'd have been loathe to redo it, and it was one of those mistakes, if it was a mistake, with a ton of character.

Here's the lyrics Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? And where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? And what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin' I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin' I saw a white ladder all covered with water I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, that roared out a warnin' I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin' I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin' I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin' Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony I met a white man who walked a black dog I met a young woman whose body was burning I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow I met one man who was wounded in love I met another man who was wounded in hatred And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? And what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin' I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest Where the people are many and their hands are all empty Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison And the executioner's face is always well hidden Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten Where black is the color, where none is the number And I'll tell and speak it and think it and breathe it And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin' And I'll know my song well before I start singin' And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
