(Instruments) - "SWEETHEART LIKE YOU" - Randy Brook / Andrea Rabuffetti - Bob Dylan Song

[BeatleUniversity]

Very nice cover!

[wadecottingham]

my favorite dylan song and you do it really great !!!

wish the audio were better.

do you really think the first line says "press"? I hear 'pressure's down".

these are quibbles, you have a great post here, in my opinion! thank you!!!!

[randybrook77]

hey wade...thanks for the kind words...yeah, read my notes below the video...Bob was operating a hand squeezed orange juice business adjacent his studio...he used to squeeze 'em himself sometimes in the hand-press they used to make the juice...I think they called it "Santa Monica Orange Juice"..."pressure's down" doesn't make any particular sense to me...i'm going with "press is down"...they had shut down for the day, Bob had gone to Malibu in his El D...the employee sings to the girl... :-)

this one is cool, thank you.

btw, i didn't ever "hear empires squeal" but "i can hear them tires squeal".

well, bob very often changed his lyrics.

[randybrook77]

thanks bro (sis?) - tires squealing doesn't make sense to me in the context of the verse, but empire squeals does. Not sure if Dylan said it...I am guessing he needed a rhyme for "make a deal". I know that in Twist Of Fate he used to sing "walks along with a parrot that talks" sometimes - though the line is "walks alone through the city blocks", which makes a lot more sense. He's a joker, that guy. Hey, start making videos already. :-)

@randybrook77 bro :-) - i had a look into my dylan songbook (up to "L&T"), 1152 pages (english/german). it says "you can hear them tires squeal" and i think it makes sense: the following line is "you can be known as the most beautiful woman". there are jokes of men using their car's brake at full speed when they notice a good looking woman on the sidewalk. dylans voice in that line even sounds like squealing tires, i like so much how he does that. dylan changes lyrics, "parrot" is the original.

[randybrook77]

Nobody likes a wise-ass.

LOL - just kidding. From my experience, those lyric and chord books are always making mistakes...it's like they don't really want you to get it right unless you're smart enough to figure it out yourself. I understand your explanation, but I still think "tires squeal" is a stretch...but then, so is "empire squeals"...I just like it better...I hereby give you permission to believe what you want about the verse. No, no, don't thank me.

@randybrook77 here's what the BD dotcom homepage says:

"You know you can make a name for yourself

You can hear them tires squeal

You can be known as the most beautiful woman

Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal"

i like the last line very much , too.

get me right? :-)

i think that's right. but you can surely feel free to alter some lines, many people did that before... i esp. like the last line a lot.

got me? ;-)

[maxhaddrall]

Very well done, loved it

[randybrook77]

Thanks, max. I like my performance here a lot, but much credit must also go to orastory (andy) in Italy, who downloaded my solo performance and added the other instruments. I think he did an awsome job. I really enjoyed your song "Normandy Skys" and recommend your channel to others. I notice you did a song for gay rights. I am not gay, but stand in support of people's right to choose their own lifestyle. You might find "Ballerina Clown" (on my channel) interesting. Ciao :-)
