Dylan's lyrics are mind blowing sung by a beautiful young lady 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

Hauntingly beautiful version of Dylans classic bringing his words to life.

[@daniyalnaqvi2569]

[@drdavethesane304]

So beautiful!

[@laughliketheflowers]

This girls KNOWS the heart of Bob's songs, and she sings them like they are from her own. I have never heard anyone do that - except the man, himself.

[@EmmaSwiftsings]

Thank you for this kind and generous compliment, I love singing these songs

[@tonycostanzo4276]

its a hard song to sing the phrasing is hard to get right

[@kimberlyberry2048]

Whoa! Gorgeous version. Thank you for this!

[@glenncooper1060]

Gives me chills. Great job, Emma and Robin.

[@CafeMooka]

[@DogsTrossachs]

Wonderful thank you. Shame you didn't get to play the Aus tour. Hope to see you on the other side of all this...

[@danielkowalsky6062]

"The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face." So années trente, so Dora Maar. All of your Dylan covers hold me spellbound, but this is best so far. Come to Northern Ireland!

[@EmmaSwiftsings]

Thank you! Definitely hoping to make it to Northern Ireland some day soon x

[@Astrobrewster]

It’s fitting for this song that it looks like you’ve got the door to the panic room behind you. Great shirt Robyn and great singing Emma. Lovely

[@swvamarksman1834]

Phenomenal

[@andersortegren3943]

Pure gold - thank you Emma and Robyn!

Lovely version, and you're both beautifully attired, which all adds to making it pretty special - as befits the occasion of Bob's 80th birthday!

I love the tension of the guitar and the beauty of Emma’s voice.

[@unkemptquigley1274]

Beautiful rendition. Such a wonderful voice, Emma.

Emma you are so beautiful with your curls just like a woman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍 xx

[@JeanTrudel]

Merci beaucoup.

[@losreed]

Emma, your dynamics are extraterrestrial.

[@dreamwell2020]

Distilled.

[@hoola100]

Emma & Robyn - you make this come to life. Lovely immersive interpretation - as good as the original in its own right. Graham

[@JamesSmith-pw1cy]

Gorgeous

[@johntbd]

Fabulous 🍺

[@MoeLarryAndJesus]

Great version. Too bad there was no room for it on the LP.

[@TheMagus801]

politicsjunkie LOVES this! Love on ya Groovers!

[@adrianburns7123]

Tremendous take.

[@bergmeister76]

Dang!

[@gublerjj]

Your voice sounds better in a studio.

[@guymichel101]

She's okay, sounds like she's trying too hard to act out the words. But I've ALWAYS loved Robyn, tell me about his drugs, and he does the same musically solid thing here that Dylan did with all his pre-electric stuff: just keeps a steady rhythm providing a solid foundation from which the words can leap out and startle you.

[@user-ze4yc6bh3v]

Vocally this is HOW this song should be performed.

[@michaellaverty1844]

So well sung but kind of dramatic for my taste. Interesting guitar Hitch.

[@thewordofgord]

Fine vocal interpretation Emma. Robin, how about playing some guitar next time?

[@tomcovenant7434]

For all of your anti-male keyboard warrior hot air on Twitter, you sure have latched onto the two Bobs as your meal ticket(s). You can cover this song again in a dozen years at Robyn's 80th. After he's gone, you can start with Can of Bees and offer biannual sadcore readings of Hitchcock's entire oeuvre. Can't wait for your overly precious rendition of Certainly Clickot!

[@SilvioJ]

So bad ass and so soft.

[@harveythompson1756]

...yet another failed attempt to do an iconic Bob song any justice.
