Tangled

I give you: Tangled Up in Blue...One of Dylan's finest works. This sounds so much more like a story than a song. There's so much truth and pain in it; it stings when you hear it for the first time. Out of all its beautiful lines, I think those three are the best and most unforgettable:
"The only thing I knew how to do was to keep on keeping on"
"I've seen a lot of women but she never escaped my mind"
"And every one of them words rang true and glowed like burnin coal. Pourin off of every page like it was written in my soul from me to you"
With no further blabbing...Enjoy:

NOTE: In one Dylan's best live performances ever of this song, Dylan placed white make up on his face to 'disguise' himself. He then sang the words in second person rather than the first person in which they were originally written.
