I'm 76 y.o. and have been an admirer of Bob Dylan since 1961. I am not a Christian. So, in the 1980s, when he turned in that direction, I stopped listening to him. I have just recently started exploring this period of his career and have discovered that I have missed some of his finest song-writing work. This tune, undoubtedly, is one of the most beautiful and powerful songs in his songbook. Thank you for posting it.
I have had almost exactly the same experience. He has done amazing work that traces his life. He is now in his '80s and thankfully still shares his sensibilities and wisdom with the world. I am not Christian either, but some of his spiritual songs are great--especially this one. He has moved away from Christianity, but many of his songs (including his social justice songs) reflect a quality of spirituality at its finest.

Been listening to Bob Dylan and other groups who sang his songs for almost my whole life. At age 69 now and I still can't get enough of him. Thanks for your music Bob. You have made my life better.
I hadn't listened to Bob Dylan for 40 years. I listened to this & was knocked out. It was Blake, Keats & the Psalms speaking to Eternity. God was swimming in the lyrics. Bob was dancing with Jesus. It's so beautiful.
What lovely thoughts come from those that live in the spirit ofGod...sometimes out of the most simple tjoughts come eternal revelations that are quietly given to us. Thetes a side of Bob we are experiencing and i sense it will ln some form, influence his future ❤
It’s like all who’ve lived, dreamt, and died in this life and all matter in The whole wide universe are interconnected somehow and even though we pass through this with pain, loneliness, heartache triumph and despair and all manner of individual experience ups and downs, we are nonetheless intertwined through nature within some mysterious story wrapped in divine love, hidden truth and some unspeakable stillness of sublime beauty
I've been a fan since the '70s. I doubted at first, musing that when words hit music, it's a different matter, not exactly literature. I've had some time to think that over. The Nobel prize isn't even good enough!
A year before my father died[4.2.1922~1986] I was in my room and listened to Every Grain Of Sand~ Then my dad came into my room in silence and said》 I don 't know much about that guy you listening too,but I like it.Then we both listening to that song,fall into each others arms and cried.One year later he died in my arrms in a hospital.He always said to me 》Son if there is any chance that I can send you message from the other side of the morning,will do so.And he did.Now he and my mother that died in 2014 are in Heaven now.I miss them both🙏Psalm 23 / Psalm 121~Thank You Bob🙏
i'm pretty sure your dad didn't send you a message. But wherever it came from, if it helped you ... Yes, I am a patronising git. Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Every grain of sand is for me the best song Bob Dylan ever wrote. This Song is also about me and my life. I've come to understand that every hair is numbered. Thank you, Jesus.
I tuned a friend into this song about thirty years ago when his life was pretty much coming apart. He later told me it was the only thing that held him together. Myself, I find my eyes watering up each time I hear it (this particular version of it the most powerful, IMO).
@@This_is_my_real_name God bless you, my friend. Nobody sings this song like Bob himself and nobody takes care of us like the Master, the Creator, the living God, our heavenly Father. In Jesus name. Amen.
IMO the best he's ever done, and, the best version he's ever recorded. And my "listening history" goes back to the "Visions of Johanna" - "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" era, when I was somewhat involved in a leftist radio station (Pacifica -- WBAI), where a friend had the all-night music show (Bob Fass), who was pretty much Dylan's first friend when he arrived in the West Village from Minnesota. N.B.: The first time I drove to Minneapolis, where I was to be "somewhat involved" with a church in Eden Prairie (having done a 180 from my 1960s East Village hippie era), I drove up the West bank of the Mississippi River -- it was a _long_ drive that night, which gave me plenty of time to bounce "No way!" -- and "Seriously?" -- and "Are you _kidding_ me?" -- and "Yikes, I _do_ really think so!" back and forth in my head. The road that leads up to Minneapolis (and down _from_ Minneapolis) is called Highway 61. Ah, memories... PS: I recently read something from an interview with him that confirmed that it actually _was_ that road, and _not_ "The Crossroads" of Robert Johnson fame.
Love the piano love the harmony love the harmonica love the sanctified lyrics love Bob's vocals love the bass love the drums love God more for this beautiful song. Thank you Bob Dylan
Every. time I hear this amazing song I am healed over and over again. Love you Bob Dylan. You are definitely a gift from God, that he has wanted to share through out his world. ❤❤❤
I listened to him sing this live in his gig in London on 24/10/22. I've been a fan since 1964 (i'm 75 years old) and believe this is the most beautiful song he's ever written. I've been playing it almost non-stop this week. Thank you Bob - nobody better
Michael McLoughlin This song is particularly poignant. Bob Dylan always has something to say, I start to take it for granted, but then I'll really listen & a song like this is a revelation. I've been listening to him since I was a 15 I'm 71 now. He still surprises me.
@@AndrewSutton-hm7yw Ha!!! We chose this for our Mother's funeral. All the old biddies looked rather confused. Some of them did say they got Dylan's Biblical references. Mum left us to Enya's "On your Shore", chosen to get the tears flowing. It worked a treat, not a dry eye in the house... 🥲🥲🥲
If this was the only song he ever did, he would still deserve a Nobel Prize. I remember the first time I heard this at the end of a rather mediocre album; I was stunned beyond words. It is truly a magnificent work in many ways.
I've been telling people that since the 70's. I'm glad to see someone else express that. Some day people all over are going to recognize him as the great poet.
@@JuanYNhilka when he's gone people will truly understand his impact. He's already an icon but like many, age and hanging on past his best (don't get me wrong - he still writes some cracking tunes) has taken focus away from the giant he was in his peak decades. I dread the days when people like him pass away but also know there will be a global outpouring of love and memory. Dylan and McCartney will both hit me in the heart espeically and I'm only 34. I can barely imagine the decade long impact them and their like have had on people listening to their music since the 60's. I have a theory that since celebrity culture really only kicked off in the 50's/60's that those hosts of stars are approaching their 80's and 90's and whoever hasn't died younger will be lining up. Remember the year Prince and Bowie died? I can predict that but worse being on the horizon. Handfuls of beloved entertainers no longer with us.
@@kevtb874 I'm one of those that has been listening to Dylan since the 60's, and even though I am obviously biased since I'm close to his generation, he stands out in the crowd. To me there is a poetic aspect to his songs that few songs have, and as you know that was noticed by lots of college professors of English. He will certainly go down in history as one of the greatest song writers, but when will people realize that he is one of the greatest poets ever. I think a lot of present day poets don't even realize that a great poet has been among them. One exception, I college an Argentine poet (Facundo Cabral) visited our Spanish class at the invitation of the professor, and the only thing I knew about poetry was Dylan. I asked him if he thought Dylan was a poet, and he was very familiar with Dylan as a poet. He praised Dylan's songs (as poetry), and I thought, "and this from an Argentine". That was in the 70's and back then Dylan wasn't really main stream. That confirmed it to me that Dylan really is a poet. That Argentine poet was already world famous in the Spanish speaking world when I met him, but I didn't realize it at the time. I only learned of his fame decades later on hearing of his death.
A song for spiritual healing. We all fall short and need forgiveness. The harmonica solos here are very beautiful and pure. "In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand." The realization that you can let go because everything that is, is in God's hand.
I've been blocked by a star of the silver screen. Your last words that God is in control is a comfort. Everything is in God's Hands. Especially Our relationships.
This one song could fill one whole term of education and you would still have precious little time for much else. Spiritual, inspiring and a true masterpiece.
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need when the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed there's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break in the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand in every leaf that trembles and in every grain of sand Ooh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer the sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way to ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame and every time I pass that way I always hear my name then onward in my journey I come to understand that every hair is numbered like every grain of sand I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night in the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light in the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space in the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea sometimes I turn there's someone there other times it's only me I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
The first album I ever bought. When this song played I got goose pimples on my scalp and I felt the essence of the meaning of life buzzing within my soul. Our time on this mortal coil is short but God is eternal and made us as eternal spirits who can only find true happiness by growing ever closer to God. As humans it’s sometimes difficult to understand but sometimes things of great beauty help us to catch just a fleeting glimpse of the beauty and greatness of God who created all that is good and is surely more beautiful and great than we can ever fully conceive within our physical brains. The only true understanding is spiritual. God bless you all who are searching and striving to always grow closer to the Magnificent Creator of all good things. Peace.
Not only is the melody beautiful, but the lyrics have a really deep meaning. Add to that the magical sound of the harmonica. All this makes this song a sentimentally beautiful masterpiece. Thank you Bob for your sensitivity.😍
This came out at the time of my own Spiritual Birth in 1981. This song and album had a profound effect on me at the time and opened my understanding of the battles Christians face on a daily basis... Thanks, Bob!
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…..❤️❤️❤️
"In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea " What a wonderful song! Thanks for available to us. This harmonica sound as an angel guidind Bob.
Dylan makes me feel so good. I love his music. I am now close to 70 and I love his music even more than I first heard his first song when I was 15. Alan Davis
I am 60 years old and have listened to His musi for 40 year's. Had a nasty little habit with opiates, and it says exactly what I would written if I could have. Who else could, no one. Words like, confession, despair, dying,etc, etc. These lyrics would have same effect on anyone going through any trauma in their lives. No matter what it is, or how big or small small. Any problem is a problem to the individual . What a piece of work . There is not a word to describe how good this song is.😢😊
For my money, this is the best song Dylan ever made. The rehearsal take from "Trouble No More" is a triumph, beating the album take in vocal delivery - although the album take has that magnificent piano line.
The only Dylan song I can think of where we’re out of the darkness, looking around at the world anew and suddenly the world makes sense and is whole again.
Dear Peter: I also am 76 years old and and have been an ardent admirer of Bob Dylan's work since the 60's. Imagine my astonishment when Slow Train came out and I discovered that my hero had embraced the faith that I confess. I'm not interested in argument or speculation as to his current commitment but the fact that he still sings these songs is enough for me. So, from one fan to another , my earnest desire and prayer to God is that when I reach the great song fest in eternity that Bob and I and you will be there to sing praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus who looks in love on the unlovely and unloved when we confess His name. Sincerely. P. W.
Well spoken @paulward3566...Dylan obviously had a "supernatural encounter" which gave him the these amazing gifts he has freely shared & blessed the rest of us!
listened to this album on tape driving from UK to Southern France in the early 80's. And back again. I was in my young twenties now 64. Memories that last a lifetime.
How cool is that we are all on this planet the same time as Bob Dylan.
I’ve always been grateful. But I’ve been here since the 60s. The amount of great rock pop and soul I’ve heard is just sick
You ain't bulllllshitton. We are all so blessed to have been witnesses to Bob's. Genius
Who is gonna replace him? I don't see anyone taking that train on!

People (myself included) went crazy when he finally played his harmonica at the end.. i get goosebumps when i listen to the recordings of it
Before yesterday he finished his "rough and rowdy ways" world tour in London with this song.
If you have ever gone through something traumatic in your life, this song reaches out to you with wisdom, comfort, and forgiveness. Truly beautiful.
Hello Linda
I'm getting buzzes from it. Always have loved it. But it has me in tears this time.

If ever you would doubt whether Bob Dylan is worth the Nobel Price for Literature, all you need to do is to listen to this song.
I've been a fan since the '70s. I doubted at first, musing that when words hit music, it's a different matter, not exactly literature. I've had some time to think that over. The Nobel prize isn't even good enough!
The harmonica alone deserves a Nobel prize.
I don't disagree, but I'd say the same of others. Does anyone win the Nobel for one work--even War and Peace?
It is difficult to explain how much I love this song.
Try.

Same here. I’m 72 years old and have been listening to this genius since I was 15 years old. He’s been my constant companion throughout my life.

This is such a good song. Every time I pass that way I always hear my name. So strong
Quite possibly the greatest song ever written.

A voice of what is important
I have said that about so many Dylan Songs.
IMO the best he's ever done, and, the best version he's ever recorded. And my "listening history" goes back to the "Visions of Johanna" - "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" era, when I was somewhat involved in a leftist radio station (Pacifica -- WBAI), where a friend had the all-night music show (Bob Fass), who was pretty much Dylan's first friend when he arrived in the West Village from Minnesota.

In the time of my confession,
in the hour of my deepest need
when the pool of tears beneath my feet
flood every newborn seed
there's a dyin' voice within me
reaching out somewhere
toiling in the danger and
in the morals of despair
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake
like Cain, I now behold this chain of events
that I must break
in the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
in every leaf that trembles and
in every grain of sand
Ooh, the flowers of indulgence
and the weeds of yesteryear
like criminals, they have choked
the breath of conscience and good cheer
the sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
to ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
and every time I pass that way
I always hear my name
then onward in my journey I come to understand
that every hair is numbered like every grain of sand
I have gone from rags to riches
in the sorrow of the night
in the violence of a summer's dream,
in the chill of a wintry light
in the bitter dance of loneliness
fading into space
in the broken mirror of innocence
on each forgotten face
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
sometimes I turn there's someone there
other times it's only me
I am hanging in the balance of
a perfect finished plan
like every sparrow falling,
like every grain of sand

As humans it’s sometimes difficult to understand but sometimes things of great beauty help us to catch just a fleeting glimpse of the beauty and greatness of God who created all that is good and is surely more beautiful and great than we can ever fully conceive within our physical brains. The only true understanding is spiritual. God bless you all who are searching and striving to always grow closer to the Magnificent Creator of all good things. Peace.
Thankyou kindly....cheeks are wet now
My favourite Dylan tune. Absolutely beautiful, healing masterpiece!
Truly Healing. 🌈☀️💙.
Simply staggering in it's beauty, and when you add the two harmonica solos it makes this my favourite song of Bob.
AGREE!
@@nielsborg4825 As do I!!!!
Few people have been able to express this self-discovery in such amazing poetry.
Wonderfull
Song with the most beautiful harmonica ever heard.
It brings a tear to my eye every time...
@@countrybumpkin8705 Shivers every time.
Not only is the melody beautiful, but the lyrics have a really deep meaning. Add to that the magical sound of the harmonica. All this makes this song a sentimentally beautiful masterpiece. Thank you Bob for your sensitivity.😍
This came out at the time of my own Spiritual Birth in 1981. This song and album had a profound effect on me at the time and opened my understanding of the battles Christians face on a daily basis... Thanks, Bob!

Have you heard the demo version? It's so much better to me. He sounds so good there
Yes me too

And Jews and Buddhists...
As beautiful as ever..❤
Played at Johnny Cash's funeral. No greater tribute...
And to be played at mine, along with 'Forever Young' for my daughter and grandson.
And also at Steve Jobs’ funeral
How do you know that? Hope it was ‘cause what a love song! To Mr. Cash.
I feel Johnny Cash would've been better sent off with Highway Man. His part in that song brings tears to my eyes.
Big thanks for that information, really interesting to hear. Great Bob Dylan song, and a really great tribute to Johnny Cash.
This song was there when I most needed it , a salvation song

"In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea " What a wonderful song! Thanks for available to us. This harmonica sound as an angel guidind Bob.
I see your comments literally under every Bob Dylan song. lmao
Way to go, girl!
@@bsnf-5 Hello, William! Thanks!🙏🎸🌹🌹
@@HelianaSuper not at all... :-) And you're right about the harmonica part, it's "like paradise; divine" 😎🎙
@@bsnf-5 Yes, William. That harmonica has something of magic power...🌈🎶🎶😘😘
Hi Heleina. Hope you are ok. Beautiful song. Take care.
What an incredibly emotional and reflective song. It doesn’t get any better than this, from the living legend Mr. Dylan
Honestly, I'm speechless, this. Kills me every time, beautiful
One of Bob's best songs EVER imo! LOVE it and will never tire of it. Thank you so much, dear Bob, for still performing this beautiful gem.
I agree, but add it is one of the best songs ever written by anyone.
Graham
Possibly his very best one.
'Hanging in the balance of the reality of man'
Dylan makes me feel so good. I love his music.
I am now close to 70 and I love his music even more than I first heard his first song when I was 15.
Alan Davis
This is one of his best Christian Music songs and he's done a lot of good ones!
Why does this song cause bring so many tears to my eyes? It's so beautiful and touches me so deeply
It speak of God your Heavenly Father. who Loves you & gave His All, His very best, His Only Begotten Son
Gonna pour glass into my shoes while listening to this
I’m with ya
There’s chaos in you
@@arquimedescobarrubias1390 “the voices in your head they are not to be feared, they are to be embraced”
Harmonica heaven Almost weeping through those reeds
Number one song writer of all times. Why? God
Also, the best harmonica you will ever " feel"
He paints the way of salvation - humility - grace - Jesus !
I am 60 years old and have listened to His musi for 40 year's.
Had a nasty little habit with opiates, and it says exactly what I would written if I could have. Who else could, no one. Words like, confession, despair, dying,etc, etc. These lyrics would have same effect on anyone going through any trauma in their lives. No matter what it is, or how big or small small. Any problem is a problem to the individual .
What a piece of work . There is not a word to describe how good this song is.😢😊

Ja
Moooooon Kniiiiiiiiight!
He loves God and Jesus so much and is not weary to share his heart, Bob Dylan 🙏🌹🎹🎩
For my money, this is the best song Dylan ever made. The rehearsal take from "Trouble No More" is a triumph, beating the album take in vocal delivery - although the album take has that magnificent piano line.
AGREE!
For an lifelong atheist like me this is the closest I can come to spirituality.
THANK you, Bob!
Agree it the best
@@nielsborg4825
👍
It’s all about opinions, and this song has an indisputably great lyric, but Dylan has composed dozens better.
@@smfvmd Really? Dozens? What are 24 Dylan songs with superior lyrics to "Every Grain of Sand"?
Bob, you can chase away bad spirits. Used to listen to this in an old warehouse where I worked alone at night. Sure worked.
The only Dylan song I can think of where we’re out of the darkness, looking around at the world anew and suddenly the world makes sense and is whole again.
Only 600 views (or listens) in 2 days?! 😢 Truly one of the top 5 lyrics Dylan ever wrote.
Beautiful, harmonica is haunting
So love this song 💗 God bless you my love, I was with you in all this,💞🎩🌹🙏🎶
Dear Peter: I also am 76 years old and and have been an ardent admirer of Bob Dylan's work since the 60's. Imagine my astonishment when Slow Train came out and I discovered that my hero had embraced the faith that I confess. I'm not interested in argument or speculation as to his current commitment but the fact that he still sings these songs is enough for me. So, from one fan to another , my earnest desire and prayer to God is that when I reach the great song fest in eternity that Bob and I and you will be there to sing praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus who looks in love on the unlovely and unloved when we confess His name. Sincerely. P. W.
Well spoken @paulward3566...Dylan obviously had a "supernatural encounter" which gave him the these amazing gifts he has freely shared & blessed the rest of us!
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
listened to this album on tape driving from UK to Southern France in the early 80's. And back again. I was in my young twenties now 64. Memories that last a lifetime.
I couldn't stop listening to this album at that time also. With MTV and all the new techno music coming out at the time, I felt I was the only one.
Bob.This Hymn means More to
me than I can say,
Now every time I hear this song I think of Arthur Harrow filling his sandals with broken glass. Thanks Moon Knight!🌙🪲⚖️
A very beautiful song. Certainly one of his best.
My dads funeral song when the times arrives ! Bob Dylan is the most amazing man after my father ❤
Beautiful musician with a big heart ❤️ did ever attend any of is concert?
I love Bob Dylan. Such a beautiful song❤
I'm 40 now. And this song has tortured me since I was 16. Beautiful truth
Shot of Love is one of Dylan's most underrated albums....not a bad track on it..

Just a beautiful uplifting song
Thank you bob.
Love only love is in my heart and Soul for Bob

The best of Dylan …. ! Superior lyrics and harmonica
WOW What a work of shear elegance by a word smith who sees light & cries in love, I see.
A wonderful song and a stellar performance
Each time my ears hear this, the sound of angels, I am briefly in heaven. Namaste
Powerful song to this day. Be a fitting song to add in a funeral.
I have just become aware of this song. It's simply incredible.
YES ❣ A song of BOB DYLAN ❤which has been engaged ❤deeply in my heart ❣
The late Clyde King on backup vocals, I believe. She’s understatedly amazing.
Theres backup vocals?! I hear them now. Wow. She's like an instrument.
She's wonderful, especially when she harmonizes with Bob.
Perfect.
Been following him since he woke, but this one brought me to me knees and I mean to my knees!!! WOW
Moonnight brought me back to this song, whos with me!
This is the kind of song prophets sing and hum along to.....
I really like this song 👍
the man is genius
Totally awesome! God-given genius! Thank you!
