Thank you Bob Dylan as my husband left this earthly domain before me. He took every picture of me he could for 25 years. I'll be with him till the deal goes down. Thank you Bob.
I had this played at my dads funeral, I just remember it playing as we entered the church carrying his coffin, it makes me feel sad but proud of my lovely dad,wonderful song by the master,
It was the last song I played to my Dad, he had just passed away so I sat with my mom and played it too him. Such a beautiful piece of poetry by the Great Bob. 🌺
I've never heard it before. It's reminding me of turning off the respirator after my husband drew his last breath. It's was horrible to watch him suffer like that. It will haunt me forever. 💔
Damn it's crushing, the contrast between the hope, strength, freshness and beauty of youth and the wisdom and staleness of experience, age and death. Therein lies the greatness of Dylan's composition and his director's pictures.
me thinks the same feel same me 4 older brothers played lay ladie lay to get me to sleep.Was phofet,gospel according to Dylan! He is main man.blacky break-in it down N motown
In the still of the night, in the world's ancient light Where wisdom grows up in strife My bewildered brain, tolls in vain Through the darkness on the pathways of life Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air Tomorrow keeps turning around We live and we die, we know not why But I'll be with you when the deal goes down We eat and we drink, we feel and we think Far down the street we stray I laugh and I cry and I'm haunted by Things I never meant nor wished to say The midnight rain follows the train We all wear the same thorny crown Soul to soul, our shadows roll And I'll be with you when the deal goes down Well the moon gives light and shines by night And I scarcely feel the glow We learn to live and then we forgive Or the road we're bound to go More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours That keep us so tightly bound You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies And I'll be with you when the deal goes down Well I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes I followed the winding stream I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys I know they're not what they seem In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain You'll never see me frown I owe my heart to you, and that's sayin' it true And I'll be with you when the deal goes down.
"Frailer than the hours, these precious hours" is a beautiful line written by a civil war poet. Dylan knows exactly what to do with it, he's always had the ability to perfectly utilize the work of the poets who came before him. It's a skill in itself, really. In school they call that "plagiarism," but it's part of the folk tradition.
+JHAM3232 It is a talent in itself. Making the words fit so well with the other lines and then weaving the whole string into a theme of your own making…..well, Shakespeare did that.
The music itself is pretty much Bing Crosby's "Where the Blue of the Night (Meets the Gold of the Day)" But it matters not. This song has me crying behind my sunglasses as I walk around the hills thinking of my life.
"More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours" has always been my favorite line of this song. Just the way Dylan sings it gives me chills and a tear in my eye. Words so true.
Rorschalx Dylan will always create a mood with the poetry, the music and vocal style dependent on each other that is just indescribable and certainly gifted as a package.
This music video deserves a couple of Oscars. It think it 's a actual Opera. Life, Americana and Love and that feeling that raises the hair on your hand that only true art can give. The never ending story of Life, Love and Death in 5 minutes.
@@michaelmiller2397 I am so sorry to hear that. When you lose a child. It rips your heart out. I cried for 2 yrs. For me It gets hardest on his bithday. how old was your son if I can ask?
I just 13 years old I heard Bob on a College radio station I was instantly in love.. I will now be 73 years old and I'm still in love with MR. Zimmerman. Forever a poet laureate.He still makes my heart ache and my eyes cry
this song is pure music of the soul. The intimacy and love for someone through the passage of time . Dylan express so genuinely here the fact that the most important moments in life are the ones we perceive the most « futile » when we live them and when we remember them later , we would give anything to live them again and again . These moments are the most precious.. There will never be someone like Bob Dylan ,he is unique
I adore this. The lyrics, the imagery, the mood, the groove, the style, the nostalgia, the beauty of the way it's all married together. Can't understand how it has 51 thumbs down!
Garvin Clements I'm guessing the artistry of it makes some uncomfortable, while the well-wrought lyrics take too much thinkin' for those with a short attention span or a world picture that perhaps stops at the boundaries of their own generation...just a guess though.
I have this song in my IPOD and it started playing when I was driving back from California to Texas when I was getting out for good from the Marine Corps and I tell you this song made me shed silent tears and reflect on the four years I served. Too bad she wasn't there when the deal went down.
Welding words to music like he does is another category of talent. It's more than poetry or just the tune. Marrying one to the other like he so uniquely does is a special thing. So lucky to have been around to hear most of his stuff.
I think this one of the best and most touching and poignant marriages of video and song I have ever seen....I come back to this one again and again. So sad and beautiful at the same time
Why does this song bring me feelings of nostalgia and sentimentality? Sometimes when listening to Bob I feel things I didn't know I could feel. It's really difficult to describe.
I do think that lyrics are literature and rhyming couplets can be be considered as such. Look for example if you will at Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
I remember this being advertised on English TV ‘The Brand New Bob Dylan Track’ (the UK countries vary) on C4 @ 23:05 with a 5 minute window just before a film started. It blew my mind then & always does all of these years later! ✌️
Personally, I've been tormented by some of Bob Dylan's songs, but even maybe especially those songs are great; and I hold in high esteem the bard who gave us 'Maggie's Farm,' and 'Blowin' in the Wind.' Particularly, 'Maggie's Farm' was an inspirational song for me back in what I would call my heyday.
“You just got to love Bob. My old-time favourite lately is ‘When The Deal Goes Down,’ and it’s just a beautiful love song. It’s this beautiful love song, he’s very romantic in a lot of songs, everyone listens to his wacky dream stuff, which is great. He moves me on that record". Ringo Starr
I'm reminded of some of the classics from the 80's/90's, like Gus van Sant's, Drugstore Cowboy, the video on this is second to none, Bob's voice and Scarlett's images are excellent here, it has such a nostalgic feeling to it, beauty, and innocence.
As I watch the video and hear the lyrics, I am mesmerized by two things- Words of a poet and Scarlett, whose beauty just effuses through Bob's poetry..
Long before his Nobel Prize I felt a unique voice a genius a hell of a guitarist a poet and heart music. His legacy will be until the end of time. Teach your kids Dylan. It'll be rewarding for them!
I'm wondering if this song with all its poetic verses tipped the scales in his favor when it was decided that he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Now one of my all time favorite Dylan songs. The man is a true wonder of this world.
Scarlet Johanssen was so beautiful in the 50's.
Hahahaha, yes she was.
She certainly was
Scarlett Johansson was born in the 80s so you are wrong
@@ohaiosienta4708 jesus man......seriously?
@@ohaiosienta4708 It's a joke.
Thank you Bob Dylan as my husband left this earthly domain before me. He took every picture of me he could for 25 years. I'll be with him till the deal goes down. Thank you Bob.
Hope you are well
Best wishes to you xx
Was reading your comment and thought it odd you said till the deal does down..30 seconds later I heard it in the song..right on !
What can l say,seen Bob twice at opera house, sorry and the convention centre,this song is in my top fifthy Dylan tunes 11/10 love it ,oh man.
Listening to this masterpiece in January 2025
I had this played at my dads funeral, I just remember it playing as we entered the church carrying his coffin, it makes me feel sad but proud of my lovely dad,wonderful song by the master,
It was the last song I played to my Dad, he had just passed away so I sat with my mom and played it too him. Such a beautiful piece of poetry by the Great Bob. 🌺

Rest in peace.
Damn it's crushing, the contrast between the hope, strength, freshness and beauty of youth and the wisdom and staleness of experience, age and death. Therein lies the greatness of Dylan's composition and his director's pictures.
How beautiful to play it for your dad
Damn. Such a great song. When I was a young man, the young Dylan spoke to me. And now, as I grow old, the older Dylan speaks to me again.
+Daniel Gunter He wrote it, he filmed it.
me thinks the same feel same me 4 older brothers played lay ladie lay to get me to sleep.Was phofet,gospel according to Dylan! He is main man.blacky break-in it down N motown
+Daniel Gunter Still...not again
+Barry Klonsky There was a period when I didn't listen to much Dylan. Now I listen more to him than all the rest put together.
The young Dylan spoke to me too.Now that I'm old the older D like Dylan speaks to me. We are probely alot the same.
This is beautiful. I'm happy you exist, Bob Dylan.
arubybluebird - I like how you said that. So basic, simple and true. Agreed!
Summed up well from all who appreciate Bob
And this is an aphorism!
In the still of the night, in the world's ancient light
Where wisdom grows up in strife
My bewildered brain, tolls in vain
Through the darkness on the pathways of life
Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air
Tomorrow keeps turning around
We live and we die, we know not why
But I'll be with you when the deal goes down
We eat and we drink, we feel and we think
Far down the street we stray
I laugh and I cry and I'm haunted by
Things I never meant nor wished to say
The midnight rain follows the train
We all wear the same thorny crown
Soul to soul, our shadows roll
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
Well the moon gives light and shines by night
And I scarcely feel the glow
We learn to live and then we forgive
Or the road we're bound to go
More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours
That keep us so tightly bound
You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
Well I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes
I followed the winding stream
I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys
I know they're not what they seem
In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain
You'll never see me frown
I owe my heart to you, and that's sayin' it true
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down.
Just wow. Always loved this song but never saw the words written down.
And your brain toils in vain as well ..........
It is worth write the lyrics down. Masterpiece
"Frailer than the hours, these precious hours" is a beautiful line written by a civil war poet. Dylan knows exactly what to do with it, he's always had the ability to perfectly utilize the work of the poets who came before him. It's a skill in itself, really. In school they call that "plagiarism," but it's part of the folk tradition.
Checkout the story around Call Letter Blues, its a great dylan song but has roots that go a long way back, brilliant stuff works that way.
+JHAM3232 It is a talent in itself. Making the words fit so well with the other lines and then weaving the whole string into a theme of your own making…..well, Shakespeare did that.
The music itself is pretty much Bing Crosby's "Where the Blue of the Night (Meets the Gold of the Day)" But it matters not. This song has me crying behind my sunglasses as I walk around the hills thinking of my life.
There will never be another one like Bob.
Gary Spears Look up Mac Demarco
Now, now. Of course, there will be. The wheel never stops turning.
.
Bob is a strange one 😂❤
It's just too beautiful for words.
Where would we be without Mr Dylan and his love songs?
up a "crick" without a paddle.
Between a rock and a hard place. Lining up at the S-hit Creek Paddle Shop.
Thank You Bob also for all these lovely COMMENTS ❤
Truly I tell you , not as inspired by any other human being ❤
Bob Dylan made this world a better place 🎵❤
"more frailer than the flowers, these precious hours that keep us so tightly bound" so lovely it melts my heart and eyes
And the way he sings those words...Beutiful..Why do I never hear this on Radio.?
Amen!
I couldn't say it better.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
"More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours" has always been my favorite line of this song. Just the way Dylan sings it gives me chills and a tear in my eye. Words so true.
Rorschalx Dylan will always create a mood with the poetry, the music and vocal style dependent on each other that is just indescribable and certainly gifted as a package.
me too, on that line, some of the diction in these songs an homage to civil war poet Henry Timrod. Gorgeous.
How about the lump in his throat when he sings “frown”? Only Bob.
I'd like to think that was one of the things the Nobel committee had in mind ten years later.
my wife died 15 days ago.this comforts me-i was there most of the time.
The lyrics to this song are just magic well done Bobby 😻
My favorite musician and lyricist 😅
This music video deserves a couple of Oscars. It think it 's a actual Opera. Life, Americana and Love and that feeling that raises the hair on your hand that only true art can give.
The never ending story of Life, Love and Death in 5 minutes.
I played this at my son's funeral.. it always gives me comfort to here this. Perfect song thank you God for Bob keep him safe in your arms.
Barbara. God bless you. Bob's genius is comforting. Take care.
Sorry for your loss. A beautiful song to play x
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
I burst into tears when I read your comment. I lost my son too.

Superb. Bob is a genious. Scarlett is perfect. Nothing more to say... Cheers!..
Cheers!
To you to
So much beauty .my heart can hard bare
Thanks for this blessing
Love . The only thing the world need.
Try to spell genius, genius!
first time i listened to it i got goosebumps, now it makes me cry
52 years of career and still the best lyricist in pop music (and a great music composer too)
Give that man a Nobel Prize!

An incredible Bob Dylan tune, with a Scarlet Johansen video!!! Man, is doesn't get any better than that.
Thank you Bob for such a wonderful song.

The 51 thumbs down? Arthritis.
...some are just inelegant..It's a Beauty Allright
Well, atleast now you'll never know
..ain't this such a gorgeous song ???? I'll never stop singing this ...♡♤◇♧
He is more than a poet or musician, he is the voice of America in her heart of hearts.
words on the wright road
I think of him more like a song and dance man
I love this song, thank you Bob.
one of dylans best songs, just beautiful
I have this song in my IPOD and it started playing when I was driving back from California to Texas when I was getting out for good from the Marine Corps and I tell you this song made me shed silent tears and reflect on the four years I served. Too bad she wasn't there when the deal went down.
Life summed up in 5 minutes,beautiful!
A bela Scalett Johansson e uma música incrível do grande Dylan.
i love the way he has constructed the rhymes. So unusual.
Another underrated Dylan classic, and a great music video with Scarlett Johansson.
What a gorgeous piece of music.
Makes me think of my mum. Love you.
This woman has a beautiful old soul. Can you imagine another actress performing in this video and doing so more elegantly.
This song is an absolute masterpiece
Beautifully shot video accompanied by wonderful lyrics. Take care.
I totally agree with you!
Welding words to music like he does is another category of talent. It's more than poetry or just the tune. Marrying one to the other like he so uniquely does is a special thing. So lucky to have been around to hear most of his stuff.
this song makes me think of my Grandpa. we played this song at his funeral
I think this one of the best and most touching and poignant marriages of video and song I have ever seen....I come back to this one again and again. So sad and beautiful at the same time
Bob you are so special..you make us believe in angels..
Masterpiece...
Heart-breakingly sweet and beautiful song.
No one does it like our Bobby , one of the great music men of earth
Why does this song bring me feelings of nostalgia and sentimentality? Sometimes when listening to Bob I feel things I didn't know I could feel. It's really difficult to describe.
Wonderful song and video. Takes skill that only a handful possess
It's only a poet's song! Congrats Bob Dylan! ... and so nice Scarlet Johansen for sure!
I do think that lyrics are literature and rhyming couplets can be be considered as such. Look for example if you will at Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
David Laing I never wrote a poem I couldn't turn in to a song- David Bowie.
We all own the thorny crown . Bob explains everything in simple terms . This more than anything is his gift and therefore ours also .
"We learn to live / And then we forgive"
One of the favourites Mr. Bob🪃👏🏾🎼🌚🐸✌️
I remember this being advertised on English TV ‘The Brand New Bob Dylan Track’ (the UK countries vary) on C4 @ 23:05 with a 5 minute window just before a film started.
It blew my mind then & always does all of these years later! ✌️
This is sheer brilliance...just unreal how good this is...at a loss for words really
He sings it in tears.
This masterpiece is 12 years old today

This is such a great music video. One of those rare ones where the images are born out of the song.

This is just SO beautiful. The addition of the old 8mm look just adds to the pathos. Thank you,Bob.

Brilliant lyrics. More meaningful every year...
Masterpiece from the MASTER
Please don't be mad at me but I think this is his best song... and I've heard and love all his albums.
I watch this routinely. It's quite simply the most beautiful music and piece of film ever combined.
Imagine: after so much time, so much will and so much ability to please. That's extremely uncommon.
What a beautiful film ~ ♡♡♡ ~
It's just stunning. Wonderful!
Long before his Nobel Prize I felt a unique voice a genius a hell of a guitarist a poet and heart music. His legacy will be until the end of time. Teach your kids Dylan. It'll be rewarding for them!
Just America's song and dance man. Another Woody, Sandburg, Whitman, etc. I love you Uncle Bobby
absolutely beautiful.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
Man, that ole Bob could put music and beauty together!
This video is about my parents. Heart-tearing.
The director was twice nominated for Oscars. Rattled it off just like that.
This song kills all.
Thanks, Bob.
