Racoules is a paradise place in a french south mountain. In Racoules, during holidays, we did some covers and we decided (with danieldesete) to call our recordings "The Racoules Sessions", just like our heroes do in music!!!

LYRICS :
MAN IN THE LONG BLACK COAT
music and lyrics by Bob Dylan
( http://www.bobdylan.com )

Crickets are chirpin', the water is high,
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry,
Window wide open, African trees
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze.
Not a word of goodbye, note even a note,
She gone with the man
In the long black coat.

Somebody seen him hanging around
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town,
He looked into her eyes when she stopped to ask
If he wanted to dance, he had a face like a mask.
Somebody said from the Bible he'd quote
There was dust on the man
In the long black coat.

Preacher was a talkin' there's a sermon he gave,
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved,
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied.
It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat,
She gave her heart to the man
In the long black coat.

Bridge: There are no mistakes in life some people say
It is true sometimes you can see it that way.
But people don't live or die, people just float.
She went with the man
In the long black coat.

There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June,
Tree trunks uprooted, 'neath the high crescent moon
Feel the pulse and vibration and the rumbling force
Somebody is out there beating the dead horse.
She never said nothing there was nothing she wrote,
She gone with the man
In the long black coat.

Horrible....absolutely pointless crap copy of Dylan's version.

@Internetpolice666

Sorry if you don't like our cover. You have the right to have your taste...

With my friend, our goal was not to do a "copy" of this wonderful song... Who is able to "copy" the great Bob Dylan??? No one. And what is the musical creativeness to make a "copy"? It's just our own modest interpretation, we made it for fun and because we love Dylan's music.

Musically

Stunning version of this song!

[jsebsteelguitar]

Thank you very much for your nice comment!!!

This is really a great cover! Very good video too, wonderful visuals and interpretation. Thanks, it's in my favorites.

[jsebsteelguitar]

Thanks!

I'm glad you like it!

My friend danieldesete and omanepadneom will be proud of your comments!

Hi JeanSébastien,

Wonderful cover of Dylan. It sounds 'Dire Straited'. But that doesn't surprise me, cause you like Dire Straits very much. I think you live there in paradise in the Auvergne and have some very good friends around you!

[Internetpolice666]

@jsebsteelguitar Well that's a good point. But it sounds a bit too similar to the exact Lanois arrangement. You should have tried a new approach in your own style. But thanks for the answer.
