@thomassneade thanks! The arrangement is mainly taken from a live version by Jeff Buckley, it's on The Rain Was Falling On That Day, which has a few great covers on it - including another Dylan track in Farewell Angelina. Well worth a listen if you don't mind rough recordings.
@yaknbo I have always thought that the line "she might think i've forgotten her, don't tell her it isn't so" is one of the most amazing line I have ever heard. One of the reasons is that you can interpret it the way you like. And I really like your interpretation. From one side he does not want her to know that he has not forgotten her, but on the other hand he WANTS her to know that he still thinks about her. Dylan is a genius.

Hey man, I can't say that your version is better, Bob Dylan remains in my heart. But you gave me the bigger chill since months... Thank you, your job is wonderful. And please forgive me for my awful English
Think what he means is he has not forgotten her at all, but ....if she thinks he has, leave her with that (wrong) idea. He is willing to keep all the suffering to himself.
@ryan06105 Dylan often changed his lyrics but I've never heard a version with 'oh tell her' in it. I hope he never did because 'don't tell her' is a much better line!
better than bob dylan... I heard your version before his, and although I like him, his version disappointed me... it's very moving. the reaction of my skin is the best proof of how good your voice is
i do care for others opinions but to be honest, saying that this is better than the original that is just about the worst possible thing you could have said. the original is all about emotions, this version is dull, boring, it doest even feel like he miss her...
the sound here is really good. i mean for a youtube vid. kudos. this version has the emotive quality of buckley's but the straightfoward honesty of dylan's. great balance, mate. great
i havent looked through all of the videos so dont get mad if you already have it but you should do the bob dylan song like a rolling stone or Stuck Inside MObile with the Memphis Blues Again
Je dirai quand même pas que Dylan chante mal(enfin oui ça dépend des chansons en fait...), mais justement moi j'aime beaucoup cette voix particulière, imparfaite, je trouve qu'il fait passer beaucoup d'émotion dans ses chansons grâce à sa voix qui est vraie, je sais pas je trouve que ça correspond bien aux messages qu'il envoie, pour moi ça représente bien la personnalité du poète(enfin je sais pas si je me fais bien comprendre...)...Bref très belle cover sinon ! <3
okay, every video I watch, i like you more. for both musical cover choices and for your talent. don't listen to all the imbeciles on here, most of them haven't any idea what they are even talking about(as I'm sure most of them are hardly old enough to know who Dylan was, and have no place to judge your interpretation). Your talent is pure gold :)
I'm not a fan of youtube videos covering songs, but this one is great.
I guess Dylan's songs were written to be played by others. There's no other explanation for so many of his songs turning out that well, performed by other musicians.
Wonderfully performed. Blood on the Tracks is one of my favorites. I've got many good memories by the album in particular by this song. Thank you thank you thank you.
doubt it. jonas bros. are too busy makin disney movies to pay attention to bob dylan and other musicains who get (and deserve) more respect than they do.
@milesofmilestone i was looking for dylan and came across this video of one where one them makes a joke about how dylan cant sing which is even worse than not knowing him
Bob Dylan would think it nonsensical that people are bothered by the fact that this gentleman revised lyrics, changed tempo, and made the song his own. That embodies Dylan. Well done.
Different sound of course, but I liked it. And hey, no one changes Dylan's lyrics more than Dylan himself. If someone wants to hear the exact original album version, put on the album.
He's just using lyrics from bootlegversions you dope:)! By the way, I'm sure he is more than a bit inspired by Jeff Buckley's take on the song from Live at Sin-é.
OMG you were actually amazing. Im letting a cigarette burn thru my table as we speak (and that's not a joke!). You must be only 15 or something, but god, you have the sex appel, just likw jwff buckley! and dy;lan, of course, but you have the voice AND the looks! lucky ducky! my comment is, don't stop, give it all you're worth. You'll be a Bigshot, because I know ur type of music so keep at it!write ur own. ur amazing. Ull go far.
In a lot of cases I seem to like dylan covers more than dylan dylan songs. a couple of days ago I heard the I'm Not There soundtrack and it's epic. 33 covers, and his original i'm not there. with iron and wine, sonic youth, sufjan stevens, the hold steady, the black keys, yo la tengo, jeff tweeney, mark lanegan, anthony and the johnsons, willie nelson and a lot of other perfectly good musicians that i don't know much about XD
