— unpredictable thoughts

Was read­ing Rolling­Stone this morn­ing and took a look at 50 artists choos­ing playlists. I’m always inter­ested in lis­ten­ing to music that other musi­cians find essen­tial or impor­tant. I’ve often found the selec­tions that Patti Smith has made for her cov­ers very inter­est­ing. So when she selected love songs by Bob Dylan I had to check them out and see if I feel the same way about her selec­tions. Sev­eral topped my list at the start Boots of Span­ish Leather, Sad-Eyed Lady of the Low­lands, and Visions of Johanna. So now I’m on my way to redis­cover these other songs in her list and share them.

I’m also look­ing for videos to share. Strangely almost all of the ver­sions I could find of this song were in China. Piracy maybe?

You can also lis­ten at Dylans site. Just click on the song title below.

I have a new found affec­tion for:

One Too Many Morn­ings 1964

Down the street the dogs are barkin’
And the day is a-gettin’ dark
As the night comes in a-fallin’
The dogs’ll lose their bark
An’ the silent night will shat­ter
From the sounds inside my mind
For I’m one too many morn­ings
And a thou­sand miles behind

From the cross­roads of my doorstep
My eyes they start to fade
As I turn my head back to the room
Where my love and I have laid
An’ I gaze back to the street
The side­walk and the sign
And I’m one too many morn­ings
An’ a thou­sand miles behind

It’s a rest­less hun­gry feel­ing
That don’t mean no one no good
When ev’rything I’m a-sayin’
You can say it just as good.
You’re right from your side
I’m right from mine
We’re both just one too many morn­ings
An’ a thou­sand miles behind
