Little Black Book: Sara


Bob & Sara Dylan


Bob Dylan: Sara

[purchase]

I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
Writin' Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands for you

Sara, Sara
Wherever we travel we're never apart
Sara, oh Sara
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart

Happy B-Day, Mr. Zimmerman!

  2. What song about Suze? Boots of Spanish Leather? One Too Many Mornings? Ballad in Plain D? Suze (the Cough Song)?

    You get my point.

  5. The songs have to fit within the constraints of the week's theme: Songs titled with a woman's name (and nothing else). I admire your enthusiasm for music, maybe it'll drive you to start music blogging.

  6. Do you mean "So Long, Marianne", Johnson? Because although, as Dean notes, the full title wouldn't fit the theme, just to bring things full circle, I posted a version of that one over at Cover Lay Down a few weeks ago, as covered by John Cale and a woman named Suze (Vega, that is).

  7. "Marianne" - on Stephen Stills 2nd solo album.

  8. Ah. A good, albeit forgotten track. Well, since I don't have it, and we've only got 2.5 hours until the theme ends, I suppose we'll have to wait until another relevant theme comes along.

  9. I technically have about 4.5 hours, I'll indulge our fine reader and crank it out, give me a few...
