a song for a friend
'mama, you been on my mind' - bob dylan
my all time favorite dylan song. the words describe the kind of man i want to be. i'm not, but i'm trying.
there are a few versions of this, but this is my fave. his voice totally betrays the lyric. or maybe i'm just putting my own shit on it. i do that.
and, the line 'i'm just whispering to myself so i can't pretend that i don't know' may be the prettiest, saddest line i've ever heard.
or maybe it's the weather, or something like that.

Great song! I put the live version from the Rolling Thunder tour on my Gorge mix the other day. Phenomenal! No one sings with Dylan the way Baez can!
