“Someday I’ll remember to forget” Bob Dylan’s lyrics even in his supposedly worst work are cleverer than any of the garbage floating about today!! Timeless👌👌
I've never heard of this being considered as his worst, usually it's that wiggle wiggle song Bobby wrote that's brought up as his worst. But even that song is somewhat misunderstood, it was 100% written and meant to be performed live and was more for Bob than the audience if you get what I'm saying.
remember some bloke touched my mims leg she was sk offended wrote to thebpolice 😭 ignored 💯😭 class not ass 💯😎 im class u fucked around on Bay not one of ur randoms. your not goodenough for me ur community 💯 ir want onevlove someone i connect with kn all levels deeper meaning .. thats the marriage i want single different we completely done not knowing no🌎true 😎💯 🖕data
Yes good wee song not his best but who cares as lyrics great 'has anybody seen my love' and especially when someone has a 'Tight connection to my heart' :) lol
Don’t understand how anyone can not appreciate Dylan’s work in the 80s . Yes , some albums weren’t great . But it was probably the most productive years of his career. 7 albums , as well as a film . 4 massive tours including the ones with the dead and the heartbreakers. He gave us Shot of Love , Empire Burlesque and Oh Mercy in the 80s and for that we should be grateful. “I’ll go along with the charade until I can think my way out”
es simple, fueron los años en los que practico la fe catolica. Desde el mainstream conspiraron contra su obra de los 80 Pero, la mente de BD es tan grande que puede funcionar en diferentes niveles. Una obra maestra de la naturaleza.
Yeah nice LP. I had the opportunity to get the LP from my local library when they were phasing out LP's back in the day. Mint condition for 50 cents! LoL Bob is wearing a Harley Davidson hat and it just so happens that there are 1000's of bikers in my city this weekend for the HD 120th anniversary....so NOISY!!!! Almost over!!
Always loved this one. So groovy and playful. On one hand, if feels like Bob is just piling Dylanesque one-liners on top of each other for the heck of it, on the other there is a story in there.
I read somewhere the lyrics to this tune actually come from movies; like, they're lines literally stolen from the scripts. Can't recall the source, however.
@@o_solovio Now thanks to you I won't be able to watch any old movies relaxed, trying to find those lines. I shouldn't have read your comment. Thank you very much ! (😎)
I remember hearing Humphrey Bogart films like the Maltese falcon. "you want to talk to me go ahead and talk" and "be easy baby ain't nothing worth stealing in here" and many more.
@@Ebert-Pincus Ah, yes. Seen it couple of times but forgot the line was in it. I actually saw it in Malta, when I stayed there for a month a few years ago. The Malta connection is of course a bit random, but an arty small cinema showed it - for me and two other people :)
Whilst I'm only the occasional Dylan listener, I'll always remember growing up listening to Bob almost every day thanks to my dad. We had "I'll Remember You" playing at his funeral. Fantastic!
People can say whatever they want about Empire Burlesque but I love those songs and this is one of my favourite I remember me learning how to sing with the vocalists instead of studying boring maths but I used to be great at English, though😅😂This video is so brilliant and funny!
It's not often you find a girl who loves dylan , the greatest singer , songwriter there will ever be, you either get dylan or you dont. Ive been into him since i was 14 im 38 now , and theres not a album or song i havent heard hundreds of versions of.
my son bought me this album,Empire burlesque and i love it,takes time for some music to reach you ,this period of Dylans i really did invest a lot of time in now,going back to this period i feel i missed a lot during the day,now i love it
His songs are so full of imagery , there is a multitude of interpretations. Jokerman is a superb example of this ..... Bob Dylan is surely a poet's Poet
1:22 the girl on the right has a smile that utterly melts my heart. This was a year I moved to Japan (I'm still there). I could have met her... think I'll go and search for her now... 💓
a much better song than 'like a rolling stone' , 'sweetheart like you' also is miles better. in fact iv been stuck on sweetheart like you for years now, never ever sick of it, great writing, great music , timeless
"You're the one I've been looking for, You're the one that's got the key. But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you Or you're too good for me"...
I never realized how many amazing players are on this jam. MIck Taylor, Mark Knopfler, Sly and Robbie...no wonder the groove is so tight. Nice call Bob.
I was in college then and remember getting a chuckle of this with my friends on MTV, but I actually like it. Either you like Dylan or you don't. This has a really quirky appeal.
Dylan’s career is the closest thing to infinity we’ll ever see in popular music. And we think the Stones have been around forever. Dylan has been penning masterpieces long before Mick & Keith knew how to write songs!
I don't know why but I always loved "And they're beating the devil out of a guy, who's wearing a powdered blue weeeiiig" I just love the way he says wig lol
692MOM It's a wicked twist on the communion of love vs. the "holy communion" (wine turns to blood), where the blood of love (richness and beauty but also fear) just doesn't taste like a normal pleasure that can be taken or left. So "I never was meant to hold your love and call you mine" basically means "because love was overwhelming instead of just sweet, I was never able to hold your love because I was inadequate to it (or maybe both of us were)." That's what I think.
Thomas Hofheinz Kinnel. It's a song. As Dylan said earlier, they are not messages, they are just songs. If you like it, great, if you don't, no problem.
Me as well. I can kinda step back into the time when I see videos from then. They got slicker and slicker as time passed. Didn't they? I guess around 84 it was big bucks production. Great tune. Dylan, IMO, actually recorded many great tunes in the 80s, even solid albums. But, yeah, WE had great taste at 14. Cheers.
AS far as I am concerned this song is one of Bob's best, so many others bag the crap out of it and say it is commercial material, well wow I say, if an artist stuck to the very same formula that made them popular in the first place then fans would grow tired of the same old thing, the best part about music is reinventing yourself so you remain relevant and fresh and that is something Bob was good at. And also take a listen to some the more recent songs done by Tom Jones he is the King of reinvention.
Strange video, strange clothes and strange times. Only one thing remain the same during the years, Bob Dylans ability to turn out beautiful tunes all the time! OK.... with a few exceptions but 80% is pure gold!
If this song had been on Desire or Street Legal everyone would have been raving about it!
Great song, great lyrics 🎶
I agree with you their as well. I actually like this song too. Even doe the rest songs on Album were crap. One Bob Dylan Underrated songs.
I saw this video years ago and thought it was a disaster... NOW.. I think it's a masterpiece.
LOVED BOB in the 80's.
Where you not a character in Brownsville Girl.
It's like a Neil Breen film
It's as good as Thriller..
Since 1962 for real!!
Dylan's humour, funny, 😁😁
Bob Dylan is a genius when it comes to music and song writing. No one like him.
It doesn't matter though. He IS the man!!
The dance at the end is the best choreography I have ever seen.
Bob Dylan has a tight connection to my soul
Yeah now

It's infectious....
Me too, man.
You can tell that Bob enjoyed every second of making this video.
In a press conference he actually said he felt really uncomfortable throughout 🤔 shows some good acting then hahah
Yeah, his terrible lip-syncing is a dead give-away lol
Almost as much as he enjoyed every second of making the We Are the World video
@@edited7382 80's Bob had to be camera-friendly, which is one of his least favourite things ever.
Oh man, that comment made me lol. That last scene with him dancing and being absolutely dead in the eyes is incredible.

Kris, you are absolutely correct, some of the posts here are ridiculous. Dylan is up there with Shakespeare and Dickens. Take care. Gerry.

Absolutely!
Well, he did say in 1965 that he was a song and dance man.
@@Themaddprof you mean once upon a time when he dressed so fine. (yours is a underrated comment)
80s Dylan was underrated and awesome.
Just LOVE everything about this song! His voice,the melody and THE LYRICS!!!!!!
Yes good wee song not his best but who cares as lyrics great 'has anybody seen my love' and especially when someone has a 'Tight connection to my heart' :) lol
One of my favorites of his! I echo your sentiment plus the video that was made for it-just a perfect marriage of the two.
I apologize for swearing bob😢❤
Great, great album. Can't understand why it's gone so unappreciated!! 80's Dylan was damn good!!!
lol No, it was mostly awful
It was a very good album.
Actually I thought it was a great album too, but I like the wine I buy from 7/11!
The 80's for Bob were NOT good , not at all , except for "Infidels" and "Oh Mercy"
@@pinanti Under a blood red sky, a very personal work, the 80s albums covered some very opaque ground.

Bob as a middle aged man wearing a truckers hat while wearing a leather jacket with no shirt on underneath is Iconic
King shit
Only Bob The one and ONLY - you can’t not love him it not possible-
that look is so tough. Not many people could pull that off.
I think he looks particularly sexy.
And he manages to look so sexy while wearing that

In the end, Dylan is cool in every era.
“I never did learn to drink that blood and to call it wine. Never did learn to hold you love, and to call you mine.” 🤯
Who is that amazingly charismatic black singer on stage with him? She's amazing.
He later married her. They have a daughter together. The marriage didn’t last. 😮
Whilst I'm only the occasional Dylan listener, I'll always remember growing up listening to Bob almost every day thanks to my dad. We had "I'll Remember You" playing at his funeral. Fantastic!
❤❤
Dylan does a conventional 'story' music video, and it's brilliant.
This is why the 80s was so dam awsome
Who’s listening 2021 ✨
Bob Dylan = medicine 🌈☮️
I bought this album in 1985. I love Bob Dylan. I've seen him in person 8 times. Wow
Blessed
People can say whatever they want about Empire Burlesque but I love those songs and this is one of my favourite I remember me learning how to sing with the vocalists instead of studying boring maths but I used to be great at English, though😅😂This video is so brilliant and funny!
I adore this song.
This video+song so perfectly merges the 1980s and Dylans style
love this song, Bob is so great, can't get enough Dylan
You will do for me young lady
a lady with taste indeed...
Just gets ya don't it.
It's not often you find a girl who loves dylan , the greatest singer , songwriter there will ever be, you either get dylan or you dont. Ive been into him since i was 14 im 38 now , and theres not a album or song i havent heard hundreds of versions of.
@@martinbuchanan7871 my thoughts too a good looking woman who lives Dylan .. brilliant
He's the actor, playing the actor. Very deep. Oscar worthy!
Oh Mother Youth Where at thou. Peace to all.
Zimmi is always compelling
Put my new earphones on. Maximum volume. You got a tight connection to my heart. The 80s are alive.
One of Dylan's best albums of the 80;s Way ahead of his time, I wonder what would happen if they played this on the radio today..LoL.
my son bought me this album,Empire burlesque and i love it,takes time for some music to reach you ,this period of Dylans i really did invest a lot of time in now,going back to this period i feel i missed a lot during the day,now i love it
Love this song,memories of living in Wellington ,New Zealand. Good times and along came Bob with this song..Magical times
Has anybody seen my love?
Hello Dear, how’re you doing today?
It’s nice meeting you on here!
His songs are so full of imagery , there is a multitude of interpretations. Jokerman is a superb example of this .....
Bob Dylan is surely a poet's Poet
Jokerman is brilliant. I feel it was his last really strong song, reminiscent of who he really is, before the voice started to go out
A brilliant song that means so much to me in a fantastic time in my life. memories that could never be written. You would had to have been there.
I was there in my own time. It's a had to be there.
"I never could learn to drink that blood
And to call it wine.
I never could learn to hold you love
And to call you mine."
Great Line!!!
he is still learning....
What a line, 'What looks large from a distance, close up ain't never that big'
I take it to mean that the ego distorts our perceptions of reality.
It is a quote from Socrates talking about death!!

Love this song ; part of the soundtrack to my summer of '85. Brings back great memories. Dylan Rules !
an underrated song from an underrated passage in His Bobness' journey
This man has dozens of underrated songs. Another reason he is a genuis
great song empire burlesque is a very underrated album bob is the greatest of all time someday maybe ill remember to forget
Next to Rolling Stone, this tune hits home!
No wonder Jimi Hendrix loved this musician.
Only the best and greatest!
One of his songs that set you free. The flow of the song flows straight into your senses. Magical with great lines - "Be easy, baby, etc." Wonderful.
I Love this masterpiece of my heart.
Somebody listening in 2023 this unforgettable song from the 80's? Great times !!
Hi of hi
I love how the back up singles at the chorus are tempo behind Dylan - genius!!
"You're the one I've been looking for,
You're the one that's got the key.
But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you
Or you're too good for me"...
Look in the mirror, bob. She's too good for you
Antonio Roberto Macae life
Amazing lyrics love it
This video is just getting better and better
I never realized how many amazing players are on this jam. MIck Taylor, Mark Knopfler, Sly and Robbie...no wonder the groove is so tight. Nice call Bob.
Empire Burlesque is an underrated album!
Love the emotion in this song and the contrast between Bob's drawl and the gospel backing singers, who bring the song to a greater height.
Been playing dylan everyday for 50 years

Been a dylan fan for over 15 years but only just finding his 80s work love it
We will always love you!
I love this whole album unironically.
This song is deeper than most thinks...
One of my 3 Dylan faves!!!
MAN!!! the 80's was a mean decade to everyone!!! XP
***** Sir...you mouth is so full of reason!!!
masterpiece...when a genius decides to go pop the result is fantastic
This is NOT a "masterpiece" 😆
Like A Rolling Stone : that is a masterpiece.
"What looks large from a distance close up ain't never that big" - Dylan's best line of his entire ouvre in the middle of what was the worst decade.
I quote that line to people all the time 🤓
I don't know why but I always loved "And they're beating the devil out of a guy, who's wearing a powdered blue weeeiiig"
I just love the way he says wig lol
E.B is a great album and so is the song.
I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU BOB HONEY
Yes, the 80's were a different time for all of us,🌹
I watch this when I'm feeling low......because if Bob can dip this low, then so can us normal people.
song and dance man showing off
"I never was able to drink that blood and call it wine
I never was able to hold your love and call you mine"
Thomas Hofheinz What do you think he means by this line?
692MOM It's a wicked twist on the communion of love vs. the "holy communion" (wine turns to blood), where the blood of love (richness and beauty but also fear) just doesn't taste like a normal pleasure that can be taken or left. So "I never was meant to hold your love and call you mine" basically means "because love was overwhelming instead of just sweet, I was never able to hold your love because I was inadequate to it (or maybe both of us were)."
That's what I think.
Thomas Hofheinz Thanks good insight!!!
Thomas Hofheinz Kinnel. It's a song. As Dylan said earlier, they are not messages, they are just songs. If you like it, great, if you don't, no problem.
All lyrics worth listening to are messages, and a metaphor like that is a strong one. He was talking about political messages, not personal messages.
Love that happy ending
I first heard this song as a 14yr old(30yrs ago).All i can say is,"Damn,i sure had great taste in music cos this song still gets me!" Thanks Bob!
Machiavelli end days...harsh..you coming for him or something?
Me as well. I can kinda step back into the time when I see videos from then. They got slicker and slicker as time passed. Didn't they? I guess around 84 it was big bucks production. Great tune. Dylan, IMO, actually recorded many great tunes in the 80s, even solid albums. But, yeah, WE had great taste at 14. Cheers.

The arrangement of this song is wonderful.
oh god the dance at the end....best thing caught on video....
Long time ago I was living in San Francisco.
Good times , great song.
Empire Burlesque. One of my favorite albums. Rock on Robbie Z!!
Bob at his best...
Great song from the early summer of 1985.
his best song ever? great song imo
Bob was always a great admirer of the ladies!! Not a great actor though, but no matter if you can write such lasting and spellbinding music.
Pretty underground work from Dylan & Taylor bros
It has to be said that the young lady in the middle of the trio of back-up singers is amazingly pretty !!!
best man ever!
love this song its a classic
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Happy early anniversary to Empire burlesque by bob dylan!
Not even the great Bob Dylan could escape cheesy 80s music videos
I loved this song in the 80's and still do. Bob should do an update version of Hollis Brown
