Chorus:
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, 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, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
#AHardRainsAGonnaFall #BobDylan #OfficialAudio - เพลง
Bob Dylan was 21 when he wrote this. It sounds like he was a thousand.
Hahaa man it’s so true though
sounds like .... it was a thousand years ago
This song is relevant for thousands of years
An old soul in awkward blue jeans
Is it good or bad?
He turns 80 tomorrow. Blessed be he for he is still among us
A legend among us as always.
Neil Young asked him how he wrote the songs from his youth. Bob said he didn't know who that man was.....
Sus
amogus
Joan Baez turned 80 January 2021 another Legend was this sweet one in Germany 1981
This isn't one song...it's a thousand. It's life and death, love and hate and, even after sixty years, it still gives me tears and chills.
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.
Sixty years for me as well. Only one thing in reply, "Too bloody right".
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.
What you said is so true.
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.
" I met one man who was wounded in love
I meat another man who was wounded in hatred" Gets me everytime
Just reading your post gets me ... again
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
“And i’ll stand on the Ocean until I start sinking, but I’ll know my song well before I start singing.”
@@bobpadget5106 Yeah quite the lyric there.
Been listening to Dylan since 65. My wife says he can't sing.....I don't think she gets it.
federalist46
His voice is still atrocious, an acquired taste..;)
federalist46 So is his face.
It's the poignant imperfections that make his voice beautiful.
federalist46 Different doesn't mean bad and his voice perfectly serves his honest, meaningful and gut punching lyrics and songs.
i think his voice perfectly fits his style and message
anyways, he obviously relies on his lyrical genius more than anything
“Every line is a song in itself”
so true
He created rap..i believe
Well said..
@@soulvaccination8679
This statement scares me, and makes me feel alone.
@@kiadel7502 which statement?
He was a poet and a philosopher. If a poet isn’t a philosopher, they write nothing worth saying. He resonates with our souls.
He IS, he is my dear lady
dont kill him pls
was?
He stil is a poet & philosopher
He's alive and well. Tough to find though
How does one guy manage to write songs that truly speak for all of us?
he had jupiter conjunct saturn. study astrology
Born with an incredible talent.
He confessed he made a deal with Satan
Find the end line, it's the punch line. The joke is that he doesn't know the song and that he made it up along the way and an early version is probably off the top of his head. Then keep telling the joke until it's refined.
It's a gift...
My dad told me anytime he heard this song he'd think of me and wonder how i was doing, now it's been 3 days since he passed and I've listened to this at least two times because now it makes me think of him
Doing his memory part, it's a rough time ahead mate, i hope you'll get through it and enjoy the memories you made together.
I'm.sorry for your loss man. But it's weird this song makes me think of my son. God bless.man
@@cheapstixxx What you wrote is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and it made me cry (in a good way). I will never miss anyone as much as my dad. Bless you. I guess we're the lucky ones because we loved ours and I know people who either hated or didn't even have a dad. We were blessed.
You'll hear this ten times... a hundred times... a THOUSAND times... and you will remember that your dad thought of you every time he heard it. It's a worthy song. Blessings to you, dude.
Sorry for your loss really music feeds our souls and it has the power to make time stand still by marking that place in time by a song and when ever we hear it it takes us back to that special space in time in our minds God's speed
I never met Dylan but we grew up together.
Same
I never met him but was a good friend of my dad
Me too bro..1962-2020
Strikingly said!
@@geralddeal9115 who died?
My daughter was born to this song on Sept 6th 2014. The next day Phoenix AZ received the most rain in recorded history. Her name is Dylan.
That's so rad; f#¢kin beautiful mate 🤘🐦
My daughter 6/3/12. Named Dylan.
May I Ask What's Her Name
That's Soooooooo awesome. It gives me a chill. Good stuff!!!!!
@@ThomasCavaleri-hj2kn thanks lad
His brain and his heart write the words, his voice acts them out. Dylan's voice is perfect.
He is possessed by the lord to make the best of best songs. May he live a 1000 years. Nothing like the Dylan Zimmerman bob.
yes....perFect
@@ajaypalsinghbhatti8901
👍❣
Flawless flawless flawless
I love covers of Dylan songs because his lyrics are perfect. But you can't beat his voice for the raw emotion he brings out in what he wrote
Possibly one of the best things to ever come out of the US. A living Shakespeare.
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.
this is very similar to the ballad Lord Randall.
@@grofy7748 This song jumped out when I first read Lord Randall.
I independently came up with the same idea that he is America's Shakespeare
Made me buy harps & play 4 20 years ......XXX
So many people appreciate his lyrics but not his voice, I think it's perfect, every cover misses the emotion bob brings
Well said!
bob dylan can get his message across that is what is important. i am so proud that he can sing to a century he is a man for all seasons Noreen UK
The great song writers...dont sing to much its about the words and music relationship .its written down by them usually with Hope's of a singer ...kris kristofferson comes to mind ..they are great in the craft of words and music not in its execution
Agreed. That is very well put. I have always said that Bob doesn't sing, so much as talk and tell a story. He has probably been the voice of 2 generations now. America's poet and troubador.
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.
This is the ultimate traveller’s song. It keeps me warm on the coldest hillsides and longest roads
Same
My boy is a traveler. He has beautiful blue eyes. He is the most adventurous spirit I have ever known. I listen to this and think of him. His experiences in life are broader than mine at this point. What a wonderful man he is becoming ❤
He deserved his Nobel Prize for Literature, Master Dylan, you are a brilliant poet, this song moves our feelings, all of your work is great.
Hello how are you doing today?
Damn right s he did
This is that real poetry thing
Initially he ignored them and the Nobel people were pissed, I think Bob wanted to ignore the elite Swedes but he was forced to accept by his people. Ignoring the sycophants and asskissers is more like Dylan then accepting their anal licks for bullion.
It's March 18, 2020, and although this song is over 50 years old, it feels so relevant.
It'll be for a long time to come
The rain is fallin State side and the rain is hard :( Stay safe.
@@2gobeond you too buddy
After 3 dry months a loud crack of thunder here in Panama City Panama. A warning. Made me play this. Now the hard rain is a-fallin.
If we don't respect the power of this virus, even a month and a half later, a hard rain's gonna fall indeed.
I'm so excited to know my 26 year old, blue eyed son knows and loves Dylan. I raised him right. ☮
My 40 year old son has my Dylan albums at his home I have to ask to borrow them,Great music
i dont mean to be rude but.. what about he is blue eyed? dont understand it.
Edit: Im such an idiot, is because of the lyrics, have a nice day and im so happy for you.
Beautiful to hear and I’m sharing the same experience with my three Sons.
I send a text saying.. Where have you been my blue eyed Son?
I get variations back saying, ‘ they’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains’.
‘I’ve seen a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it’.
Peace and love to you and your children. 💕
@@nicoles7800 thanks, you too from me and my only child, the blue eyed son 😉☮
my experience cool kids likewise parents lotsa love from berlin
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.
What do you admire most about Bob
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
@@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.
Haven't heard this tune in thirty years. Never realized how amazing it is. Makes me cry makes me sing.
Best comment ever ,thank you stay strong and well.
me too
Me three ! but you need another brain to memorize all the lines..or at least have the words in front of you to sing along
"Makes me cry, makes me sing" That's your heart telling you that you are lacking somehow in your life B, listen to it, follow it, be whole!
“The executioners face is always well hidden” one hell of a line.
Benji BB Still the case in 2019 but I feel like we a lot closer to uncovering it than any point in time.
So is there nothing new under the sun everything that's been said has been done thank u king soloman written before let's see ceasar Cleopatra who else um everyone no one overcomes the wisdom of God even mr Dylan
Kathleen Gleason stfu
GOD irony
Yes ... that is the one
Bob has to be the greatest songwriter ever to walk this planet.
He definitely is
One of the greatest. Rabindranath tagore i guess also takes the place
One of the greatest. Maybe you don't know him because you're not Italian but Fabrizio De Andrè is as great as Bob Dylan
Only Bob Dylan can not really be able to sing and still have a legendary reputation its all down to his songwriting
Fabrizio de andrè
Happy 83rd Birthday Bob Dylan! Endless gratitude and love for all of the decades of music, comfort and challenges.
This song literally could have come out yesterday and still be relevant
Bob Dylan recorded this song in 1962 in a single take with no mistakes. He was 21 years old
@¿K Allayl? I'm pretty sure Colombia Records had enough money to record more than one take. It just goes to show the true skills of Dylan at such a young age. This song is a seven minute masterpiece
all really good singers got it in their youth ... don't underestimate them
I always thought he made a mistake when he says 'What did you meet my blue-eyed son."
3:44
@@mattpeer8537 He probably did it on purpose
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.
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
th-cam.com/channels/eAsW8G8tWgXSac46V27c6w.html
Indeed. Except for that line, it reminds me of Revelation. Terrifying and prophetic.
He really puts you in the mind of a veteran who experienced tragedy in the war. Ptsd simulator right here
So true.
@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.
a song for all ages and times, a miraculous string of lyric from somewhere beyond, carrying the voice of millions
A hard rains gonna fall...rain is soft but humans are cruel.
This was playing in the background while I had my first romantic cuddle a year after my wife of 53 years passed. Those quite profound lyrics are now a foundation stone in my journey.
good for you.
I am 74 and grew up with Dylan. I am lying my the bed with my 12 year old son listening to this. He agrees with all the lyrics. The world’s a mess and he is going to sort it.
One of the best songs ever written.
The Spirit Speaks
Dylan said that each line of this song was the first line in a song he wouldn’t have time to write.
@@Genesis-ld5do 0
True. That.
If not the best song ever!!!
Just a guitar, a voice and words. The prophet changes the world.
He didn't change crap, boomer. Stop pretending.
If I could only listen to one artist, it would be Bob Dylan. No contest.
i'd choose bladee but i love dylan too
This the anthem of humanity and the message is for every generation, regardless of past present and future.
First India. I saw here bhai..👍
@@MihulSinghRawat kya fayada, hypocrites hain him. Use karte hain Bob ko bas, apne ko better samajh rahe hain, nahin hain
If only they all could hear it...truly hear it
It's lyrics like these that justify all the Nobel Prizes in the world!! This is poetry at its best!
trump needs to listen 👂 to this song but it wouldn’t do any good a hard rains gonna fall
My hair is gray now. But I was alive when the music was poetry that I still take with me everywhere. There is nothing today that comes close to Bob Dylan.
@@marygrove9805 trump is retreating from the wars,i guess he mightve listened to it somewhere along the line
Very profound and from the heart Christin 🤘 what are you doing tonight??
Agreed. And I'm not a fan of poetry, but this is really intense. Really intense
A timeless masterpiece !
This song still changes me after hearing it hundreds of times. Genius…period.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
He is the master of emotions. Truthful words.
Genius -- I couldn't of said it better myself. Nicely said. I agree. :)
He feels like a friend who is warning about the future
They always do:-)
Yahh! This is the evil leftist future he was warning about.
@@paulcapobianco4292 remember ... when!
It's raining pretty hard...
@@paulcapobianco4292 Plenty of blame for both sides. This is what you get when corporations control your elections.
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.
So you're back in Pakistan or in Pittsburgh?
In Pakistan
@@tdurrani5 Hi Hope you're doing well.
@@susannabonke8552 Age factor prostrate related complications. But mentally still OK.
@@tdurrani5 best wishes.
The prophet's dark vision of American carnage and hopefulness for its future generations. Haunting, heart rending call to action.
Each time I face a critical phase of my life I find refuge in this masterpiece . All the pain and all the tears and fears are wiped away from bob’s voice and his words give me strength to endure the future .
I imagine a "music video" illustrating this song would be terrifying.
That's a good point actually.
Eric Ramm Because it's going on for real
Truth. Thanks.
And completely unnecessary. Bob paints the images you need to see in your mind well enough.
It would be. I agree that it is not necessary. It is all feelings and our mind brings up images that we feel -so it becomes our own truth and understanding of the furnace of this world.
One of the most powerful songs ever written.
The more I listen to his music, the more I truly fall in love with his music. The sound is very pleasant, but the lyrics always get me. They're really powerful and poignant. I'm thankful he's still making music, thankful we've had him for all these years. He's given us so many important messages and good storytelling.
Nobel laureate for a reason ❤️
I am just hearing, just now, this minute, this instant, the passion in his voice, the absolute dedication to the TRUTH. We have a prophet among us.
You're late to the party, but not wrong
The 1960's " Establishment" was afraid of him...he moved people !
You never heard this song before?
@@conorkennedy3304 I heard it when I was ten years old.
The repetition of the melody and the magical lyrics become a mesmerizing mantra. A masterpiece from Dylan.
Incredible poetic imagery - the mechanics resemble Anglo-Saxon poetry, I think.
Iambic pentameter. Dylan was a real poet.
A hard rain has fallen over me the last 3 years. I really hope I'll experience some sunshine soon.
Listen and read more Dylan. He has a song for all pain
you will
Hope your ok buddy
I've learned there is great joy in youth....great pain in old age.
How did he know this at 21 ?
@@rickdavis2738 The way I feel is in youth pains could be joyful as well. There is this strange sad but joyful feeling hearing this apocalyptic song for me. Just like sometimes I choose to watch tragedy and feel the empathy and powerlessness creeping up in me.
On the eve of your 80th and my 70th, I turn to you Mr. Dylan... and this song to share with those coming behind us. Thank you for everything and best wishes....
Happy Birthday Deep soul. 🌻
I just listened to this song for the first time! I am 62. My soul is now forever changed! 💜
I’m glad that I finally get Bob Dylan
Isn't it the best when something finally clicks and you begin to appreciate an artist that may not have made sense at one point in your life but after a little living it's a complete different story.
Bob and I had dinner one night. amazing. He was in his house I was in mine but we had dinner
holy shit me too!
@@SeanBialogood on ya mate. Greetings from Australia..keep safe

Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
Bob Dylan impacted the world, but the world was not able to absorb burry, or silence.him He has a vocal presence and intensity that does not go away. He is both a thorn and a flower
Bob Dylan, jiddu Krishnamurthy and Ruskin bond.......three eternal gems of the world............
I bow down in awe and gratitude before Dylan and Krishnamurti. I met Ruskin Bond in, as I recall, Mussoorie, back in the 1980s: he was a good friend of friends. I have not read his work but he came across as a kind and gentle man
I’ve watched and listen to Bob Dylan since 63 he help shape the way I thought about life I’m 73 now and I still find him insperational!
He just gave an era a voice...
So true sir.there is only of a kind like him.only one in billions.a Shakespeare in another way.
I’m 17 loving this
I'm 72 and listened to Dylan since 65. There are no such songs today needed so desperately.
very very cool.
Im an old man and grew up with Bob.....and just now appreciating his lyrics.......I cant imagine a kid bein this young and writing this........it's unimaginable....genious
dave toffen legendary
Ur so lucky sir
I've often wondered if Bob Dylan and John Foggerty knew there words would be as profound today as they were back then
Dave - I'm only 75 & still tearin' !!!!!
Pity the generations without ?
My father shared this with me and now I shared it with my son. It's beautiful

@@mikepatrick5909 what about Israel? Sorry, could someone fill me in?
@@AA-sn9lz Israel as a nation was less than 20 years old at the time and surrounded by arab states. However, imo Israel has always been a greater threat to the Palestinians and its neighbors than the other way around, due to its implicit backing from the US and Great Britain.
If this was what Dylan was trying to get across with that lyric, I don't know.
I had it on vinyl. I had it on 8-track. I had it on cassette. I had it on compact disc. I don't have anything anymore. Just TH-cam. Don't take Bob away.
You've still got yourself, and I think that's all you need.
Still have it on vinyl!
Of course you can get it in new and improved vinyl.
It's on every available format!
You got it on your soul, can't lose this one.
I, and so many other artists base their work off Dylan’s ... forever the teacher, forever the legend
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
I grew up a mad Bowie fan: his theatrical, musical and lyrical endeavour and creation is unsurpassed. But.....I listen to everything Bob Dylan has created and I can't ignore the fact that this human being is beyond incredible. His social comment, his musicality, his image, his wordsmith...ahhh!! I could go on. But I ask myself, 'how can a human being capture the trials, tribulations, joy and love of humankind so succinctly as this man?
love bowie too
Pink Floyd ?
@@gsbanerjee9490 Top banana!!
You either listen to Dylan & hear & connect with his poetry put into lyrics or you hate him. Doesn't seem to be any in betweens. I buried my father to two of his songs, named my 1st son after him and can listen to 72 of Dylan's greatests without skipping a song so i hear him, get him & truely love him.
I listen to him mainly for the melodies (not joking).
I am so with you on your comment. I to hear him, get him and love him. He is truly incredible and gifted. I always have thought that he had and has Angelic backup. His lyrics Flo on and on and on like an inexhaustible Fountain of inspiration.
I disagree. I love some of his songs whilst others I think are boring with not much melody. This is just perfection in song writing though in my view.
List these songs, I urge you. ;)

Mikko Nenonen Christ
One of our greatest poets
You need to be Dylan to say well how brilliant it is
you should have stood by what you thought in the first place, but now you put words on something you claim to be useless
That's 15 words...
Happy 80th Birthday, Mr. Bob Dylan . thank you for enriching my life, no doubt my favorite musician. First time in 1963 at the Bitter End, Bleeker Street in NYC
Very few have been able to put words together like Bob Dylan. We are fortunate that he did. He exposes the truth in a way that’s unique. He created songs that were and still are relevant today.
Watching Ken Burns "The Vietnam War" , this song opened up the first episode , and it was the most poignant opening I've ever seen for a documentary. A beautiful song.
I also watched Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's 'The Vietnam War....it impressed me so much i bought the box set of 10 cds and like you say this opening track from Dylan was so fitting for what was to come. I also thought that Paul McCartney's 'let it be' was a very fitting song at the end.....but I know there is no "end" for so many veterans and their families on BOTH sides......
The Vietnam War is not only my favourite Ken Burns documentary, it's probably my favourite documentary of all time.
@@timovangalen1589 AMEN!!!!
Honestly I rely on Vietnam war documentaries for good music
I've never watched that documentary. I never understood why men from WWII didn't want to talk about their experiences. Now I understand.
I love Dylan. You really appreciate his songs if life has kicked you in the butt a bit and yet you keep trudging on, longing for a better day tomorrow.
as in "keep on keepin on" tangled up in blue. i love dylan, second to The Dead!
Wayne Hilson so very very true
Thanks for that comment.
sometimes life gets really hard and painful.i thought about suicide once in my life time.but we are all under some kind of pain.it is not only me.to throw a life away is really easy than to complete this life.there are sufferings,troubles,misery,and horrible moments on and on.but i tell you,same amount of happiness is always waiting for you after the pain.we have to keep our head up.and things are going to be okay soon.
I hear ya dude!
Genius and courage to express it for all the generations. Still an inspiration.
The mystical magic of the world he described opened our eyes with his minimalist voice to stark new realities we knew we couldn't ignore.
"I heard 10,000 talkers with tongues that were all broken"
I've heard 10,001. Beat that, Dylan!
one of the was donald trump
Thats the 10,000 people without a voice in the loud world. More than 10,000 when I think about it
The imagine in my head when hearing this in my head is one of many corpses with fatal blows to the face littering an area after a firefight in combat. This entire song is a great description of war from the perspective of a guy coming back from Nam and then going back out again.
And there wasn't even TH-cam back then..
Nobel prize in literature ~ 2016 . Congratulations my blue eyed Son !!!!

Best line of the song: "And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it"
That's Dylan letting us in on his plans for the next 5 decades, of which are still in motion. The Hard Rain is still falling
Swindle, I like "the executioners face is always well hidden"
"And reflect from the mountains so all souls can see it"
My fave line.
"I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow".
the whole song is constructed of the best lines. Each person finds their own favourite line. That's the reason this is timeless masterpiece.
I'm listening this for a university exam and now I'm crying.
This song is so beautiful , deep and sad too.
I'm thankful to my teacher ❤️
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
My favorite Bob Dylan song.
In Greek mythology, Dylan would have been one of the muses.
I listened to this at the end of the first episode of Ken Burn's Viet-Nam. I just sat there ... and wept. "What have you seen my blue eyed son?" No matter if it's 2017 or 1968. The pain and suffering are there... the relentless road of lies and deceit........
each line of this song rings true still......it's sad, but still....we're better for his words!!!
the placement of this song in that episode was fantastic. agree Will.
Will Olson if just been some things or life had given a hard ride you understand
DYLAN IS THE UTMOST AND THE COOLEST!!!!
It's a crazy ride and it can be exciting and fun but in the end it's all a tragedy .
Spent something like an hour on my first cardiac arrest patient tonight. No book can prepare you for the things you actually see. The fear that they're going to die if you do even one thing wrong. The exhaustion from CPR. The look in their eyes, all bloodshot red and glossy.
I needed this song and I'm glad it was the first thing I saw when I opened TH-cam
Just found out from a classmate that the guy coded again about two hours after I left, the wife signed off on a DNR because dude was gonna have an absolute shit quality of life after that first code. ROSC was a miracle it even came while I was on the call, but there wasn't any neural activity so his heart was just functioning on it's own, like it naturally does
Im a health care professional also. Thanks for your response. been there done that just like you
Thanks for being there.
I'm being honest, majority of us grew up hearing Dylan, but as we matured and got older, we couldn't get enough of Dylan, long live one of the best song writers, we all are lucky to live in a lifetime with Dylan
That's true. Well said.
This might be my favorite Dylan song: either this or I shall be released. “I met a man who was wounded in love. I met another man who was wounded in hatred.” Favorite line from this
“Where the pellets of poison is flooding their waters” Flint, Michigan! Bob the Visionary
Not to mention fracking companies dumping waist water in rivers. Wells be and ground water getting contaminated. Giving contaminated brine to communities to put on the roads for deicing. The methane emissions that contribute to global warming. The broken pipes and oil spills. All brought to us by both Republicans and Democrats that care more about money than lives and the planet.
Bob wrote this when he was 21. When I was 21 I was in a McDonald’s going “Do you want lids on these?”.
Y'all still beautiful
yes please
I was in college protesting the Vietnam War and trying graduate. Comparing ourselves to Dylan is impractical, and I think he would not want us to feel bad. Working at McDonald's is still labor that should be honored .....
i think ive come w some poetry, in my 30 odd years, but no one will ever kno it, and thats ok by me
@88Gibson LesPaul it's true. You can start Flippin burgers for a fast food chain and end up in a 3 star Michelin restaurant as head chef. Is it likely? No. But if you're good enough and put work in and go to some form of culinary school it's a possibility and something you can achieve.
It's not what you do. It's how you do it.
You can be a shitty fucking plumber and you'll go nowhere.
Or you can be the guy who installs toilets for the pope.
Thanks to my dad, I grew up with Bob Dylan. I used to dislike his voice, but over the years it's grown on me. When I was younger, I dealt with depression a lot and there were times when I would put this song on and cry because the lyrics from 5:10 onwards, to me, spoke a message of getting up and continuing onwards in the midst of the harsh realities of life. It gave me hope. Now I'm sitting here painting in my college's studio, listening to this song and watching sprinklers outside the window sparkling in the afternoon sunlight and I couldn't be happier. In the midst of the chaos of recent years, there are still moments to be thankful for, and I'm very thankful for this one right now. So to anyone who may be struggling with whatever right now, sometimes all you need is to listen to Bob Dylan and cry. Then "Go back out before the rain starts a-falling". God bless you all, and I'll be praying for you!
Incredible how music can unite ppl I went through the same experience and am in Morocco
@@franconero799 Hey, cool! That's one of the good things about the internet. :) Hope you're doing better nowadays.
@@meghanh4537 thanks.same thing to you
I am sorry you struggle with depression. I do not agree that his voice is unlikeable. ha ha I feel his voice is perfect for his songs.
@@TexyDebSantorini Thank you! Honestly, I'm doing way better nowadays, and I thank God for it. :) And yes. His voice is absolutely perfect. My young self didn't know what she was talking about.
Awesome. No comment. A genius.
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
Thanks zim
Thank you
Respect
Thanks
Thanks for taking the time mate, much appreciated.
Words cannot express my love for this song.
Dylan's voice is an acquired taste. His lyrics and body of work is on par with the greatest poets of all time. He describes and tells the stories of the times and changing generations. Having listened to him from the early 60 's to now. None better.
The lyrics are brilliant but it's not just lyrics. It's the voice too. Nobody can sing with such impact. Nobody.
"where black is the color, and none is the number" where has dylan been all my life ,never thought much of him till few weeks/months ago and he has become his own tambourine man
I am glad you found him.
This song is an absolute masterpiece
AMERICAS' KING !
With lyrics like this, who cares he can sing or not? The greatest singer to walk this planet was awed by Dylan's lyrics
Amen
For those with knowing ears he sings like no other !!
Powerful, genius, lyrics and delivered only the way Dylan can. Relevant then, relevant now, relevant forever. 👊🏾🤙🏾✌🏾🙏🏾😎
“I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley”. Wow that line struck deep
So many great versions, still this is my favourite.
Carbono 12 this is the original :)
+1
yessss
Carbono 12 For a 21 year old young man, had the genius to write this amongst many other great songs and a poet with a vision of his lyrics did deserve the Nobel prize for litature of all the songs this man has written in his book was well worth the 60$ price you reed his poetry, you can reed some poems over and over again and see how it may relates to you and the world around us seen Bob 5× now a man in his 70s would enjoy seeing him 5 more times. May. God always keep you young and watch over you.
Bob does play Milwaukee quite often has a large fallowing here saw him this summer with my Son brought up my Son on his music and many others of the 60s and early 70s he does not lissin to rap or hip hop took my Son to see Neil Young 2 years ago he loved every concert Vie taken him to we went and saw jimi Hendrix review in March witch I loved the concert shirt I bought I get so many complements on wish I had bought 3 see you there I won't. be late we lost to many artist at 27 that is a time I will never forget my Brother being in Vet- Nam would have been there myself if I was 6 years older or at Woodstock I would watch the evening news and when they say 7 soldiers were killed today I always though was it him. when he came home he told me if he was ever shoot he never would have never felt it he came back a heroin addict. fallowing in his steps tried it for about 1 year never got addicted to it really did not like it and always though if I was there could have keep him off of it. After he was home it took him 15 years to quite now he has passed I remember the good times we did share
I love this one, but the Rolling Thunder Revue one from the Bootleg series tops this one by just a little bit imo.

Just finished "Hardboiled Wonderland and the end of the world" by Haruki Murakami. The last part of the novel in that car with this song on a loop made the ending even more worthwhile for me. The line really stuck me about Dylan's voice, "It’s like a kid standing at the window watching the rain"
NOBODY mentions the flawless, hard-driving guitar, ALSO done by B.Dylan.
Mate this is isn't really that hard..
@@SmahTime Yeah? Please cover this song whilst singing and playing this song expressively and in rhythm. Show us. I've been playing guitar for 10+ years and I can't do that flawlessly
Bob Dylan is one of those songwriters where you can be amazed by the lyrics even when you don't understand/don't try to understand them.
CS:GO Dank Radio that’s art for ya:)
His everlasting voice and lyrics touches my heart forever. Phenomenal
When I wore younger man clothes, I didn't really get this song. Then I had 2 children and started to understand it more. Now I'm almost 60, lost both my parents, watched my beautiful daughter's grow into women, and feel every word of this song.
the song changed my view of life
Mirha M Islam, I think he gives words to thoughts and ideas we all have somewhere in us. Otherwise, why would he have such a huge appeal?
Had the same effect on me
