I think the reason they probably didn't do the whole of the original song is because Bob Dylan, alone has the charisma to sustain your attention for so long, anyone else doing a song as long as sad-eyed lady would lose their audience halfway. So i think Phoenix was wise not to do the whole thing b/c no one does Dylan like Dylan.

Ah. I love Pheonix. I love Bob Dylan even more. I just wish they'd done the whole song. Songs were written with intent. I don't see why cover artists think it's their place to change them. Nonetheless! This is very good.

I have to say, i just started listening to Phoenix, and i liked them because it sounded nice, but nothing makes a band nowadays sweeter than its good influence. Upon hearing this cover i was thinking, "Oh cool but i mean its Dylan, every cover sucks because it's not Dylan". I then checked it out and thought, "Damn, not only did they do a cover of Dylan but its amazingly good and has its own sound." Needless to say I am now a fan of Phoenix.

To me, cover versions are a tribute to the artist. This one is a hell of a tribute

shoulda sung it differnetly, rather than just imitating dylan pretty much

first I read the lyrics... then, years later, I heard Dylan's voice... and for the first time in my life, I cried listening to a song... every single word he sings is like a punch in your stomach... WHO DO YOU THINK ... can even stat to touch my soul like he does?

this dylan cover is at least better than the vast majority of dylan covers on youtube

[ricoverato]

Un insulto per Bob.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

Certainly better than the Byrds shit-versions of Dylan's songs. But, if you like the song, and I expect they had no plans to release it as a single, why not just show it enough respect to do the whole thing? Sounds good, though. Phoenix is a good band.

[PorroFirst]

Really good.

I grew up with a mother who loved Bob Dylan and I can't say that I ever shared her affection; his voice is very annoying. But, Thomas Mars does the vocals justice. That being said, Bob Dylan is an amazing lyricist. I think he is one of those that you love or hate, though. I will settle in the middle.
