TOMORROW IS A LONG TIME (Bob Dylan) Cover

[@Lowdenjim]

Bless you for your very flattering comment. This is a very beautiful song (among many, many fabulous Dylan songs) and I certainly don't think it a horrible thing to say; music appreciation is a wonderful human gift we can all enjoy in our individual ways. My personal stance is that only Dylan captures the real magic of Dylan songs. However, I have been privileged to hear first-hand some wonderful interpretations of his songs from a number of performers.

[@loonyranger]

One of Dylan's great songs. Great memories of a love I lost. Your version is truly superb.

[@DavidZaslow]

Thanks so much for posting this. Not only is your "style" elegant, smoothe, and beautiful, but the soul of the song comes through in the way you move through the chords... or should I say, the way the chords move through you! Many blessings!

[@KeithMoonbeat]

This is so outstanding and of such remarkable beauty . Got tears in my eyes .Thanks so much .

Bob Dylan has always been one of my favorites. I've been going through some personal issues, and of all the weird things, decided to watch The Walking Dead for the first time ever in my life, & saw the last episode of season 1. This song is at the end as most know, and it followed a personal justification to an easy reason for a reason why I am still here today. Thanks to this song, and thanks to the character, Dale, to help push me through this trying time. Thank you for the beauty of this song

[@starpower0027]

Thankyou for sticking so close to Bob Dylans version, nicely done. I was trying to find the original on here as I was getting this craving for this song and you were my best bet. You did this really well. Thankyou.

[@Lowdenjim]

Tony - thank you again for listening in and your support; very good luck with learning this one - it's a beautiful song and certainly another one of my favourite BD songs.

[@Orvis128]

This cover is amazing; simply at a loss for words. I absolutely love Bob Dylan. You have done him justice with this cover. Great job man.

[@tubephobia]

Years after years I waited for someone to play and sing the songs of Dylan that way. It seems so easy. Twelve points, but I know it`s no contest.

[@trackdusty]

Me too. This is SO damned good.

[@carlysthlm]

I really enjoy this song and I have been more or less been listening to it non stop for two days now. Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden. If you ever come to Sweden you are welcome to surf my couch!

[@Lowdenjim]

Joe - it's always a privilege and a pleasure to hear from you my friend. Thanks again for listening, and your encouragement.

[@tony59able]

If this is simple then please keep it simple. Jim, that was so gorgeous. Not a dry eye in the house. Your voice loves this register. This is my number one from your repertoire and will be added to my list to learn. Thanks so much.

[@shaconage]

I concur with the commentor who stated your playing is like "running water in summertime". Your heart and deep presence flow through this gorgeous song in such a moving way. Absolutely beautiful.

[@cfmartind35]

Very very nice. So happy I heard this!

[@yessir5498]

Best cover of this song that I love deep in my heart. The other covers have their charm but do not have this soul. Wonderful

[@Lowdenjim]

Many thanks for listening and your very nice comment. It's a wonderful song and one of my many Dylan favourites.

[@TheMakemFolksinger]

Mate your so talanted, Is I glad I came across a true folkman like you, your singing and giutar playing is like running water in the summertime, THE WARMTH THAT COMES ACROSS, from your performance is brillant, you got a new fan Mate, Cheers The Makem Folk Singer,

[@Jaygo99]

Again brilliantly executed and quite an apt title for his three score years and ten. Many thanks Jim.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much for listening and taking time to comment.

[@Lowdenjim]

Cheers Mike; thanks very much for listening

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you Flemming - I'm a great admirer of your work so this comes to me as a real compliment!

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks very much for listening!

[@Lowdenjim]

Bless you too my friend for your very kind and thoughtful words.....

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you for listening!

[@Lowdenjim]

@Sheepydavis Yes - a Lee Oskar (Tombo) diatonic harp in Bb. They are excellent value for money and I can certainly recommend them. Always glad to help and answer any questions.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much. I have a very long list of requests for many songs (especially Dylan songs) and my time is limited unfortunately. The playing technique is basically the same as "Don't Think Twice" - though this song is much easier to play of course! If you follow my videos on how to play "DTT" you should be able to play this and many other fingerstyle songs using "C" chords. If I can find time I will do a tutorial on this song. Good luck!

[@Lowdenjim]

You are very welcome Shyam - thank you very much for your support.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much for your kind comment.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you so very much for your generous compliment!

[@lukeyraptor6738]

Honestly fuckin love your channel. I’ve learnt so much from you; you’re the only teacher that seems to accurately capture the stripped back style of Dylan’s playing. Your the greatest performer of his songs on KZbin. I find everyone else really tries to “perform” his songs and end up overselling them, but I listen to your covers and I feel like you could have wrote them. Absolutely incredible mate

[@Lowdenjim]

Wow! Thank you very much for your great support and also wonderful endorsement of my Dylan guitar lessons. Over the years I've had thousands of supportive comments but I don't think any have topped yours my friend! I wish you very good luck and continuing development of your guitar skills - thanks again; your support means so much to me and is very much appreciated.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much; I'm glad you like it - thank you for listening in!

[@shyambecker5909]

Thanks for this inspiring cover, Jim -- and the clear video for those of us are looking to move from inspiration to recreation. You are ever generous in this regard!

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks to you Jaygo - and a very happy birthday to Mr Dylan.....

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks to you for listening - glad you like the song.

[@nathanielrice6184]

This cover is awesome! Great Job Man.

[@noodad]

Very very nice you do this beautiful song justice.

[@Lowdenjim]

It's a Bb harp by Tombo (Lee Oskar) - played straight. It's worth having one in your collection as it's a great sounding harp played in both straight and cross-harp (blues) style. Songs played in "F" can be accompanied using a Bb harmonica.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks for listening

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much for listening.... I love the song because of the genuine heartache that Bob Dylan conveyed when he sang this back in 1963. All I can do is try to add some of the expression, but (for me) there is only one true version of this song. I am mightily flattered though that you think it's a great cover.

[@Lowdenjim]

@NaminatorSRV Thank you very much - have done and will do! Cheers...

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you - the picking is very similar (though easier to play) to "Don't Think Twice"; the main difference is that the Bass strings picked are always 6th and 4th. I'll try to find time to do a "How to" on this song as well though.

[@Lowdenjim]

@mooweeman Thanks very much - if you can play those two you'll certainly have no problem with this one. Good luck with it!

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much - glad you like it!

[@FlemmingBehrend]

Nicely done. Love your voice and approach. Brilliant. Thanks

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks for listening in

[@Lowdenjim]

@TorontoLarrivee Thank you very much!

[@Lowdenjim]

@TheMiledog Thank you very much!

[@Lowdenjim]

@blueslidejoe Cheers Joe - thank you

[@Lowdenjim]

@Sheepydavis The chord I think you refer to (D7) is played for the 1st time at 00:26 - "If tomorrow (D7) wasn't such a long (G) time" using my thumb to fret the 6th string at the 2nd fret. The other fretted notes are 2nd on the 3rd string, 1st on the 2nd string and 3rd on the 1st string. Good luck!

[@Lowdenjim]

I have the song on vinyl LP - a double album from "Greatest Hits Vol 2"

[@Lowdenjim]

It's a wonderful song Alisha, and I hope it continues to give you strength and comfort. Bless you, and very good luck to you...

[@mikeauden5499]

nice job on this song. the voice captures the longing. subscribed.

[@caseydj17]

congratulations sir, i unofficially declare yours the best version on youtube. bravo. i shall endeavour to stel this version!

[@Lowdenjim]

Time is one thing I seem to be very short of these days; this KZbin "hobby" is turning into a full-time job! I will certainly listen in to your songs though; I so wish I could write my own songs......

[@SDnegs]

Best version of this song I've ever heard. Thank you so much.

[@Lowdenjim]

+SDnegs Thank you so very much for that flattering comment!

[@kenrone5223]

Thanks again Jim....The "condensed versions" are like a warm blanket.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks very much Dave; I tried to create a harp solo "in the style of" as Dylan didn't play harmonica on this song of course.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks for your support and kind words OH.... I'll look at Phil's picking on "Changes" and send you some tips.

[@Lowdenjim]

Bless you Marius!

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you so very much Iva - but you are too kind (bless you for your support!) As for the lessons & tips you are most welcome; good luck with your guitar playing and singing... Dylan rules!!!

[@Lowdenjim]

You are most welcome - thank you for your kind words. I'm not familiar with Bert Jansch's version of "Angie" but there is a very comprehensive set of videos (Parts 1 - 10) here on KZbin by "semicolonkid". Good luck with it!

[@specialrider54]

Very fine version of this Jim. I especially liked the harmonica work here. Cheers from New England! Dave

[@johnmarano6286]

Beautiful

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much - good luck with this beautiful song.

Thank you very much Jesse; I will certainly listen to his songs.

[@Lowdenjim]

@lazylazyshark Thank you very much!

[@shyambecker5909]

I hope hope someday Lowden Jim will come on tour to shanghai!

[@TheMiledog]

Beautiful job!

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks Josh - I haven't done a tutorial for this song, but in view of it's apparent popularity maybe I should do now.

[@leejools68]

i love this cover man ..dylan is my hero and you do him justice ...thanks for this

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you Jaicy - I will try to find the time somehow!

[@hammer95618]

Great cover..........

[@Lowdenjim]

Cheers Lee - he's certainly mine too; may his "Never-ending tour" never end!

[@gibby6904]

I have this on the Witmark Demos cd......I love early Dylan......thanks!

[@Lowdenjim]

I have the same CD, and share your love of early Dylan songs my friend! Thanks for listening and your comment.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you Joseph!

[@PatriciaSpayd]

Nobody Sings Dylan like Dylan -- and Jim !! Magnificent!

[@trackdusty]

This is SO damned good!!!!!!!! The very best interpretaion to my lights.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much for listening and your lovely compliment. This is one of my all-time favourite Dylan songs and I've sung it many many times over the last 50 years or so, but I don't think I've ever managed to play/sing it quite like I did on this video; funny how everything seems to come together but can't ever be repeated exactly the same way.

[@trackdusty]

@@Lowdenjim Magic. Takes me back in the best possible way.

[@trackdusty]

You sing as though it's not about you, but something higher. So good.

[@Lowdenjim]

@@trackdusty Bless you and Bob Dylan....

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much Nathaniel

[@peerman2006]

Great job.

[@Lowdenjim]

Cheers Dave - a real compliment much appreciated from such a canny lad that wears red & white stripes!

[@Johansmu]

Superb!

[@Lowdenjim]

Cheers Joey!

[@bsnf-5]

heartfelt. top cover, bravissimo!

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much for listening William!

[@bdiefendorf11]

Great version.

[@actionatadistance]

I just discovered this song recently and saw your video. A guitar tutorial would be very, very appreciated.

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks Patricia - you're a sweetheart!!

[@Lowdenjim]

@thepumpdontwork Nearly 50 years of listening to Dylan songs and driving my wife nuts singing them Joe...

[@elrey820]

I love the way you play this. Any way we can get a lesson for this out of you? :)?

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you!

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much Carly - I've never "surfed a couch" but sounds good!

[@eyaaaly]

hi jim , just wanted to thank you , you really opened up a hole new playing style for me which i always loved listening to , but never really comprehended how to play it on guitar. so tnx! will it be rude to ask if you could upload a lesson on playing bert jansch style? something like "angie"? feel free to reject this idea:)

[@Lowdenjim]

Thank you very much!

[@shyambecker]

Takes me back to me teens, in state of mysterious mesmerization! I am checking in actually to share this: Pack Up Your Sorrows (a upbeat potentially comforting blue-grassy tune) by Richard George Fariña (March 8, 1937 - April 30, 1966) -- an American writer and folksinger. Hope you are taking very good care, Jim -- and planning' that cruise! Haha

[@SuperNeowiz]

My ferret passed away yesterday and this song makes me cry everytime =(

[@lazylazyshark]

very nice Jim, great job!

[@Lowdenjim]

Sorry for the delay in replying (had to get myself another computer!) - it's actually a D7, though the 1st string doesn't get picked. Good luck with this great song.

[@TheThadbo13]

beautiful man!!

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks!

[@Lowdenjim]

Tutorials uploaded now for this song - good luck!

[@Lowdenjim]

Thanks Keith; I hope the tears are joyful ones!
