Chorus:
[Verse 1]
Far between sundown’s finish and midnight’s broken toll
We ducked inside the doorways, thunder went crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seemin' to be the chimes of freedom flashing
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[Verse 2]
Through the city’s melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
With faces hidden as the walls were tightening
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin’ rain
Dissolved into the bells of the lightning
Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
Tolling for the luckless, they abandoned and forsaked
Tolling for the outcast, burning constantly at stake
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[Verse 3]
Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
The sky cracked it's poems in naked wonder
That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
Leavin' only bells of lightning and it's thunder
Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind
Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind
And the poet and the painter far behind his rightful time
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[Verse 4]
And the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
For disrobed faceless forms of no position
Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
All down in taken-for-granted situations
Tolling for the deaf and blind, tolling for the mute
For the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
For the misdemeanor outlaw, chained and cheated by pursuit
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[Verse 5]
Even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far-off corner flared
And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin'
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
And for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[Verse 6]
Starry-eyed and laughing as I recall when we were caught
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
As we listened one last time and we watched with one last look
Spellbound and swallowed ’til the tolling ended
Tolling for the aching whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse
And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

Anyone who ever said they couldn't listen to Bob Dylan because of his voice never really heard Bob Dylan's voice in the first place.
A brilliant poet, the voice of the 60's Im 74 now and still recall these songs like they were yesterday...he will go down in history as one of our greatest artists.
Anyone who ever questioned Bob Dylan's Nobel Prize needs to listen to every word of this magnificent song.
Truth! Example, Joni Mitchell. Love Bob always 💕
Agreed. Of course, anyone who questions his Nobel is unlikely to turn up here anyway.
@@cficarra You're probably correct but still a possibility, since in the past some have seemingly kept up with his life's journey and made awful false allegations about and against him. It really upsets me that the ole green-eyed monster at times surfaces spewing its misdirected jealousy where it doesn't belong. I have followed and been a fan of Bob's since 1970. I am certain he is as genuine as they come. Bob Dylan forever❤️
One of the best American songs ever written
... And they need to listen to romance in Durango, Harvard Square version.
God so loved the word that he gave us Bob Dylan❤
One of Bob's absolutely best songs with incredible lyrics
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…..❤️❤️❤️😊
“Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight” - I will never ever forget that line, every time it just blows my mind.
The single mateless mother. The mistiteled prostitute. They, too, are incredible lines. Nice one, friend.M.F. McCorriston U.K. 🍀🏴🇮🇪🙏🇮🇪🏴🍀
It's impossible to duplicate this lyrical brilliance. I don't see something like this happening again. Cheers!
I vow to these
I vow to thee
Ukraine
❤💝❤💝❤💝❤ /The mute
Bruce Springsteen done a good job on this gem
The greatest poet of our times.
You not wrong. Bob is a genius.
Of all time
One of the greatest of our time?
One of the greatest lyrics bob has ever written!
Thank you master
Everyone knows Dylan is THE lyrical genius. But he also has one of the most powerful voices in the history of popular music.
Please stop it right now/
@@stevenmeyer9674 no he’s 1000% correct:))
Simplemente descendencia Judia, recordad, Mardoqueo y Haddassah
I told my friend, who thought his lyrics were important, “there‘a nothing you can say I haven’t already heard in a Bob Dylan song”
Wasn’t trying to be mean. Just stating facts
Exactly.
There are so many brilliant songs by this incredible man. We’re fast coming to the end but what a journey we’ve all been on. Thanks Bob.
❤
well said mate
🌹🎶🎩🎶🕊️🎶🙏 Legendary 😎Bob Dylan ❤️💯🤍
A wordsmith and poet of the highest order. Pure bliss!
A few years ago a radio station was taking nominees for the iconic voices of music and I nominated this singer, this song, this version. I’m 73 and Dylan remains by boyhood idol. May he stay forever young
I'm 25 and he's also my idol, now and forever
Same here, my friend.
Staying Forever Young in our hearts . . .
Ditto..I just turned 74
77 here. He can't explain this song or most of his songs. You have to feel it as it can only be explained by singing or listening to it. I play it several times a week
And the youth of today really, really, needs to go back and listen to his works. So meaningful today,
The young do listen to Bob Dylan....I was 37 when a young one, a teenager explained why Bob dylan's voice was so important.
Required listening! For the truly educated. Music educators....etc..
Only Bob sings all the verses of this amazing, poetic, timeless song. Dedicated to peace for the ages.
Hello,how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
This hit home. Bob Dylan is a lyrical genius.
Ever single song on this album is pure poetry
This album is criminally overlooked.
With the power of both Chimes of Freedom and Ballad in Plain D, it is my favorite Dylan album. I admit I stopped listening to him after Blonde on Blonde as I did not like his new style. I liked him better as a gifted writer of folk songs.
Hmmn "Motor Psycho Nightmare" and "I Shall Be Free #10"? I mean it's an amazing album and this is coming from a Dylanphile of the highest degree but not every song is a winner. And songs like "Ballad in Plain D" are just bitter and angry. While I love his Symbolist era songs I still think he is at his best when writing his little love pop songs mixed with Symbolist imagery like "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"
This album was made in one night. Crazy
Only Dylan can write and sing the songs he does. He truly is one of a kind been listening since the 60’s. God bless you
Every single word in this song flows on such a natural way.
Still brings tears to my eyes!
Nobel could have been given after first 7 albums. Nobody ever wrote like he does!
Still the most important and affecting song ever written.
Love. I wish folks would really listen to the words of all of Bob's songs instead of listening to the lies of the media or bitter, jealous folks.,💜
I have many a times over and still find amazement in Bob's prowess of the English language and I blew up my tv decades ago.
Yebo Sandra.
When I was a teenager in the 90's My Girlfriend and I would lay in Bed listening to the Northwest weather and this master album, held each other and Paid attention to each word each note.... We would go on to get married and have 2 boys, (Now grown) we are now Grandparents ... Thanks Dylan
Hahahahaha!!! Greaaat !!
Raindeer Project Good luck to you and yours. Thanks for sharing.
And my best friend/hubby and I are now Great Grandparents - Thanks, Dylan!!
@@langstongrandma Classic Martha also Has to be better than every one else... lol Congrats on the Great Grand Kiddos
When I WAS 12 my brother gave me a guitar, a chord book and the 1st Bob Dylan album. Years later we were in Scotland, and I (the little brother) was trying to tell him, it's not the music it's the poetry, he couldn't understand the difference. When Dylan got awarded a Nobel for his poetry my brother wrote to me here in Ireland and said "I understand". So never again if in Ireland or Scotland, we will chill with some whiskey and just enjoy possibly the greatest poet of our century
All songs on this album were recorded in one night. To me, he has never sounded more archaic, as if previous ages are braided through his vocal cords
i personally think that no one has ever sounded more true in his words than bob in this album. this album was just briliantly produced no doubt.
I've always loved this album. I've learnt to play I don't believe you (She acts like we never have met), on guitar. As it's one of my favourites.
I say that all the time! 1964 Dylan had the best voice, sounds almost like a prophet of sorts
That's astonishing - recorded in one night. Yes, he is a genius
That young voice! I remember when this came out. Brings tears to my eyes.
I believe he wrote this and Mr. Tambourine Man around the same time. He went on a car Journey with some friends. Took LSD for the first time. Went to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. I think after this experience, his songwriting went up quite a few notches. His songs began to look inward, and so with his influence on the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, music would never be the same again. He influenced everyone from the top, Beatles, Stones, to bands just starting out, and because of this there was an explosion of great music in the mid to late '60s.
The greatest lyrical masterpiece I’ve ever hear.
Bob's lyrics are his alone, exquisite, reflecting a peaceful heart, quiet mind, while calling us, all, to be that spark through everything+!
He was so young when he wrote this! Imagine seeing him perform this in the early days. I think this has to be one of the richest and most beautiful song ever. There's just so much in there.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
Unbelievable. Just beautiful. Can't get any better.
How does one so young as Bob was when he wrote this understand life and the world like he did. Something in his soul saw the whole human condition long before he should have learned all this wisdom.
Yes. I heard in a documentary something like "it's still hard to absorb all his work from the 60s to this day"... And I agree.
Es ist alles genauso gekommen
Bob Dylan is a literary genious and worthy of this award!
“Condemned to drift/or else be kept from drifting” BANG 💣 !!!
Arguably best song of all time
Clearly! Only Bob’s many other masterpieces can compete with this astonishing, magnificent work of genius!
Best lyrics
not at all LOL
@@randomps2gamer283 Lyrically speaking, I'd put this song up against anything. It reads like classic literature and I love it. You're welcome to your own opinion though
now THAT my friends is a song.
Makes me cry every time I play this
... without fail 😢
🌹🎶🎩🎶🕊️🎶🙏
Thank you for this beautiful poem, oh gifted troubadour of the 60's!
Happy Birthday to you .Bob Dylan.May you stay for ever young
God bless you so much.
Thank for your wonderful songs full of the spirit of God
like chimes freedom.
I'm only a coupla years younger than Bob. I was still at school (in Scotland) when he burst upon the scene. Changed my life. Still does. I sincerely hope I pass away before he does. I couldn't handle his death.
I'm 62 and wish I'd been 18 in 1967! M.F. McCorriston. Born Elder Park Street Govan, brought up in Bradford, friend.🏴🙏🏴
Greatest Singer and songwriter ever there have been. He is better than even some vintage bands
Jesus Christ! I live in a foreign country and sometimes tell people Dylan is where it is at. It is not simply just beauty, it is understanding, a deep connectedness, and truth. Hearing it changes me forever for the better. Wow. What a song.
One of his best songs
Yes
I played the first five of Dylan's albums until the grooves and ridges were all but eliminated. Joyous, soulful, magical tour of our young lives. No one saw, felt, expressed it all, as did Bob Dylan. Truly, an American, a world treasure.
Same thing, when I was 14.
Well said. Nobody, no musician or singer has made me feel all that I feel when I listen to Dylan.
Man, that's a great song.
This song covers so many of the sections of my prayers with my prayer partner. We meet once a week and cover a lot of these points. God Bless you so much for your regular beacon lights in our various different weather and the wind chimes blowinin the wind as you have noted to us. Thank you very much.
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Thank you to avalilable this wonderful song with this clear sound. God bless you.
@Bob Dylan Thank you Bob. I love your love songs and folk songs. I love all his lyrics, be what be the gender, because they are superb and unique and put the reality in all his essential beauty/ugly. Nobody had/has your courage and sensibility to write all his lyrics. Nobody, in all the world was and is able to write that lyrics. Only you Bob. I feel your heart and your soul in your songs. I love you for all your capacity of Creation and your humanity as the special human being you are. God bless you and all your fans, including me. Take care yourself too.
Can anybody tell me why he had to wait until 2016 for a Nobel prize? This guy is inimitable, unique, awesome, tremendous, etc, etc.. He deserves another Nobel prize, NOW, while he's still with us.
Bob Dylan, you're a marvel.
You are wonderful and amazing darling, you are one in a million and I'm so thankful for your music and and your love 💗 for all of us. You will go down in History as a great musician, poet and writer, I love you Elizabeth ❤️
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
And for every hung up person in the whole wide universe...Thank you Bob Dylan ....I heard that at about 14 in '69 after Positively 4rth St turned me on and buying every Bob Dylan album in any order. Last saw Mr Dylan in Bend Oregon June 2022 False Prophet tour and songs. Re-listening is mind-blowing what is contained in all his work.
Thanks Bob. You've made my life more beautiful. Hungs from Spain. I learnd to play guitar along with listening you.
His live performance at Newport in 64 is amazing. I don't think a studio does the song justice.
No one, except Shakespeare, has magnified our soul and spirit and struggles better.
Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse
An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Just look at all those songs on one album - stunning.
Our Planet Earth was saturated in Blue Light to illuminate the lovely persons and people like Bob Dylan that walk amongst us.
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Poet and painter and also an amazing musician.
Hello,how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
Keeper of the faith, Bob Dylan.
one of Bob's greatest poems.
The memories . . . at home from school . . . listening to this original 33 1/3 album . . . diving back into the eternal . . . Thank you, Bob Dylan.
Hello,how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
Devine inspiration
Guys!
Could there ever be anyone behind the Mike, say it singer, poet, politician, filmstar etc. Who can outdo this genius ?
The poet and the painter, far behind his rightful time" The man is a genius
The greatest user of a pen ever. There will never be another Bob Dylan
how i love his voice and ALL !!
What, would Bob be about 23 years old when this was recorded? This entire album was recorded in one night. And he told us a lot about his changed with My Back Pages and then just did what he wanted ever since. That takes immense courage.
Bob is the prophet and my conscience
The words stand on their own feet, but they embrace the messages of change that were in the hearts and minds at the time. Awesome!
Such a full meaning song !!
@Bob Dylan ❤
The greatest song that nobody knows.
What a beautiful meaningful song
The voice... nobody can sing like this... who can sing like this?
Nobody
This may be the most underrated song ever
I try singing along and can’t get through without crying.
Probably the best song that captures the voice of the 60’s
Sorry, but if you're going to label any of his songs as the "voice of the 60's" it would have to be Blowing In The Wind. i always thought that Phil Ochs got short shrift when compared to Dylan. He was a better guitarist , a better singer, and though not as many songs in his library, every bit the lyricist as Dylan.
@@stevenmeyer9674 Well, it’s each to their own opinion and I respect that. But I disagree.
Phil Ochs might well have been Dylan’s equal when it came to protest, civil rights and social justice et al. But Dylan was never going to be satisfied with just that and wanted to capture the complexity of human relationships, and not (as he once put it) simply write ‘finger-pointing’ songs.
I don’t remember Phil for songs like To Ramona, Don’t think Twice (It’s Alright), Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather, One too Many Mornings, Just Like a Woman, Shelter from the Storm, Sara, Idiot Wind, One More Cup of Coffee and so on.
Then again, Ochs also didn’t write a plea for transcendence like Mr Tambourine Man either, or Knocking on Heaven’s Door. Dylan developed deeper narratives. Personally, I felt that Phil Ochs was a bit limited and that time had moved on and he had been left behind.
Sadly Ochs had a lot of personal demons which he lost the battle to, and I’m not going to make light of that because it can be truly heartbreaking when your mental health breaks down; some of us have also been there. But some people use that as a stick to beat Dylan with, suggesting that he was jealous of Ochs, which is why he didn’t allow him to perform on the Rolling Thunder Revue Tour and that somehow he held him back and that that finished him off. He can’t be blamed because the other guy’s career stalled and he didn’t owe him anything (although it probably still upset him).
If I was going to suggest others who pushed him and gave him a good run for his song writing money, I would have said Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Gordon Lightfoot, John Prine and Neil Young, all of whom proved their metal by adding longevity to add to their talent; I love them all.
But it’s interesting what they themselves usually said about Dylan’s abilities that speaks volumes.
@@oleggorky906right on! I liked Ochs too, but he was a bit of a one-trick finger-pointing pony who lacked Dylan's depth and breadth. I agree with you about Prine. To me, he's the closest we've seen to Dylan... Such intimacy in his lyrics. Was lucky enough to see him live only months before his passing.
@@user-ul9rq6dw8s You saw John Prine just before he passed on!? I would have given my high teeth for that pleasure. I believe Bob would have as well. It’s well known how highly he regarded him; in fact, he has matured a lot since he was a young man and he has been generous in his praise for all of those I mentioned. That’s the mark of a man who’s comfortable in his own skin; because he knows his own worth he doesn’t feel the need to behave like an a-hole towards his peers.
Heck, he even refuses to get drawn into a verbal joust with Joni Mitchell. As talented as she is, she has a chip on her shoulder the size of Alaska. But yeah, I feel for Phil and agree with what you said. Bob Dylan knew that the world couldn’t be changed by firing out bitter diatribes all the time; like he once said, he had been through all that. I agree that he - Phil - lacked the all round depth of a Dylan, Prine, Lightfoot et al and that he was a one trick pony who had failed to adapt to the changing landscape of the 70s. It was sad that he died a bitter, broken man. But it certainly was through no fault of Bob Dylan.
Nice talking to someone with a similar outlook. 👍
@@oleggorky906 I always have enjoyed that about Dylan... He's completely comfortable with who he is... Take me or leave me, I am who I am and owe you no explanation. That approach sure makes life easier.
perhaps his greatest song.
In 2012 Amnesty International released an album called “Chimes of Freedom” made up of over 70 covers of Dylan’s songs by artists of all genres. It is a testament to his brilliance as a songwriter and composer. Significantly, the only song featuring Dylan himself is “Chimes of Freedom”. Good enough for Amnesty International, good enough for me!
"To understand a lyric we write, we must use the blood that runs through our veins for the ink to write it" X
correct me if im wrong but i think all these new videos are a result of the company that bought him out. I'm all for anything that makes it easier to hear this cat. God bless.
Dylan was almost impossible to find on YTube prior to the buyout. I'd say that he had the old guy approach to the modern marketplace. The risk isn't that you'll be overexposed....Rather the risk is that you'll be irrelevant.
Nobody comes close to Bob Dylan simple as that.
EPIC .
and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing...
For some surreal reason in the midst of my dismay about the aggressions against the Ukraine, I felt compelled to listen to this song yet again and read all verses of the original composition. This song is timeless genius and unfortunately it will be channeled by many generations to come as we continue to find ways to dismantle peace, harmony, and order on this planet. Thank you Bob. You nailed the issues. Humanity has been incapable of nailing the solutions. I can only hope that I am wrong.
Nothing less than a masterwork.Molte grazie, Bob.
I came here on Saturday morning March 12, 2022 at 2:38 AM because I saw Roger McGuinn perform "Chimes of Feedom" on a PBS special.
Fantastic lyrics beautiful song 🎵❤ love it my friend
one of his greatest masterpieces he was on fire!
this is like Rimbaud's "The drunken boat" of folk lyrics.Deep ,profound sensitive lines
Another side of Bob Dylan is a classic album. I also like the song My Back Pages a lot as well as this one.
I’ve always liked this one.It still means as much today as it did then.No major wars yet but who knows what the future holds for us.Prayers for peace and freedom for all.
Hello, how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
Now more than ever.
No one plays authentic acoustic folk blues guitar anymore . Bob really could play , he plays the CF Martin
So beautiful
Dylan sold his soul to God. There's just no way a mortal can write such penetrating & meaningful lyrics like Bob does.
I respectfully disagree. I think the lesson of someone like Dylan is that mere mortals ARE capable of such brilliance.
@@cficarra Not according to Dylan. According to Dylan he sold his soul to the devil
@@godwarrior3403 He said no such thing.
@@123thof Yes he did
@@godwarrior3403 Do you ascribe your own interpretation to the meaning of everything everybody says, to fit comfortably in your delusional state, or just what Bob cryptically eluded to in a TV interview… in the poetically vague sort of manner… which coincidentally just happens to be his hallmark, genius and calling card ?
Don’t bother to answer that especially because I won’t see it, but I will drive point home .
People who believe what you apparently do are certifiably insane .
Whoever you are you are totally right. It is one of his greatest songs. Greetings from Germany.
Poetic genius...
I first heard this song in the sixties. It remains one of the most powerful and memorable songs of that era. I was privileged to be there.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
Music at the best it can ever get.
Your words, no others, exquisite~we remember you with unfathomable joy, depth, love, and. . .wow+!
I’m having this played at my funeral
In my opinion this is one of his greatest songs. The lyrics are truly wonderful.
what a voice one man band guitar mouth harmonica
Sermon on the mount 🙏
Yeah, that's what some music critic called it. Dylan's equivalent of the sermon on the mount.👍
Love this. Thank you Bob!
