Cat Power / Song to Bobby

Cat Power °Song to Bobby°

I wanna tell you
I've always wanted to tell you
But I never had the chance to say
What I feel in my heart from the beginning till my dying day

I was fifteen, sixteen maybe
In the park I was waving my arms
You were waved this way
And you sang the song I was screaming
I wanted you to

Another time was in South Carolina
It's always been the third encore
Whose wind came roaring in
Can you tell me who were you singing for
Oh my God, can you tell me who you were singing to

A phone call from your New York City office
You were supposedly asking to see me
And how I wanted to tell you
That I was just only four hundred miles away
Who could believe that you were calling I was in DC
I was four hundred miles behind
Backstage pass in my hand
Giving you my heart was my plan I wish I could tell you

My chance
In the middle of the stadium in Paris, France
Can I finally tell you
Can I finally tell you
To be my man
April in Paris, can I see you
Can you please be my man

she is so incredible. Shes a female bob dylan!

[SKIADK]

Never ever have I ever heard someone capture Dylan's tempo, emotion and story like Chan does. This song is my all time fav of her's.

[WildMercurySounds]

David Bowie has a "Song to Dylan". I'm sure there's others as well.

@jakewino221 I've decided I love you.

@GeoffWilde ...have you not heard "diamonds and rust" by joan baez?? 

[GeoffWilde]

I don't understand why some people think she's the Female Bob Dylan

Thats like Bob's 'Voice of a Generation' during his Christianity Period.

[GeoffWilde]

Before anyone argues with me, I have nothing against Cat Powers.

I think she should have chosen a different title.

This song doesnt address Bob Dylan. The only thing that includes him is the title.

I think she's ruined the chance for another Singer/Songwriter to write a deeper song about Bob. One who will be able to actualy personaly write about him, not just some old memories and wishes of some mystical guy belonding to her.

just too many memories with Cat Power's Song !!! such a sad life that I can't never get him back . :( :(

[Hammercrafter]

It's almost unfair that one person can be born with this much musical talent, naturally beautifully looks, and have such a notoriously approachable personality.

More girls have none of the above. Chan was born with all 3.

She is a man's dream woman.

[jakewino221]

i'm fifteen years old and all I listen to is dylan, guthrie, leadbelly, robert johnson, cash and some newer stuff like hendrix and doors, but this girl has just started to restore my faith that modern music has any chance of salvation

[im4out]

stunning...

[FucklyDuckly]
