When: last Tuesday (or Thursday?) // Weather: mild and sunny // Real life: work, then Mexican food
I wanted to come up with a title for this post incorporating “baby blue,” and this Dylan song is the first thing that came to mind. How appropriate. In case you live under a rock, Bob Dylan recently won the Nobel Prize for literature. It’s well deserved if you ask me. I’ve been a fan of his work since I was a newborn and the only thing that would get me to sleep was when my dad played “Desolation Row.” (I wanted that to be our father-daughter dance song, but it seemed a little depressing for a wedding, so I went with “If Not For You” instead.)
In case you’ve never paid attention to Bob Dylan’s lyrics, here’s proof of the genius:
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead you’ve left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who’s rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue
Just for a fun comparison, here’s an example of lyrics from a current popular song:
Work, work, work, work, work, work
He say me have to work, work, work, work, work, work
He see me do me dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
So me put in work, work, work, work, work, work
Yeeeaaaaah.
