Lyrics to "I Shall Be Released":

They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

I'm a 70 y.o. musican, mostly retired. I've been listening to versions of this great old chestnut for most of my adult life. I gotta say that your rendition is about as good as any I've heard and better than most of them! You sound wonderful...I wish you every success in whatever you try to do, and hope to hear LOTS more.

[johnmesser]

A 78 yr. old rocker...I been singing this song live, for decades...
Got pretty good @ it...But..I have never heard it sweeter than this..the Joy that comes with these young artists, doing these songs as if they've lived them...
May God's Grace surround them, always...

[balanaidoo]

These two wonderful ladies so easily achieve that magic thing called FLOW. Just look at the look on Toni's face as she lovingly plays that lucky guitar! Reina is the perfect partner. I just love these two. At age 82. I hope I live long enough to enjoy more from them.

I listen to this every day. Today I was in the ER. I had a heart thing happen. I asked the nurse if I could start up my laptop. Your song was the first thing that played. Today, I pray that I will be released. If this is my last post, I love your music. If I could play my guitar right now, I'd play along with Toni. If you ever get a dream about an old Ojibwe hippy that loves your music, that'll be me. Sing with me as I am always singing with you. Fare thee well my dead head friends.

Dano passed away at 4:20 pm today. he wrote this down and asked me to post this.

I may be considered to be an old man ( 67 years ) ... in my heart .. I am the same age as the young ladies playing here ... I was a youngster when I first heard Dylan play ... nothing has changed ... music is ageless ... our band self taught players ... not as proficient .... but the crowd danced when we played and we were all happy. ... Thank you for your version of the music .

Dylan wrote it, The Band made it famous, Grace Potter took it over the top, hundreds of people sang it, but this is by far the cleanest, purest, simplest version I have ever heard! Saw this about a year ago, been a fan ever since.

[kmccjoe]

I'm also a 70-year-old musician, and I loved your rendition, ladies. That's a great arrangement, excellent singing, and some damn fine picking! Thanks for sharing your talent!

[chinto]

I see im in good company here..Im 71 Toni: great work.. love your playing Reina.. your voice and compassion comes through.. Dylan did this with the band.. I see previous posts that state a progression from writer to success.. Dylan wrote it and HE and the band made it great.. the best part o this song is that We are all still singing this decades later.. THAT is a great song. I have sung this song several different ways since the beginning and still bring this out to sing at least a few times a month. Reina and Toni I have been following you for a few years now.. You are a group that puts your heart and soul into a piece.. well done .. very well done.. LOve it.

[williamkoch]

Holy crap! That redhead can rock the guitar like I’ve never!!!

[isabelcowley]

For my 60th birthday 10/10/2020 ... I gave myself a guitar as my very own gift. I'll tell you this. YOUR remarkable rendition of this song... makes me want to learn to play it right now. You just capture the essence of this song and make it sound remarkably beautiful! I want to keep listening to it over and over again... and now I want to learn to play it. Great work!
KEEP UP YOUR INSPIRING MUSIC GIRLS!!!

i could live life lost in the warmth of Reina's voice and the intricacies of Toni's playing. BIG LOVE

I'm 70yrs old and I've been loving this song for about 53 of those years. One of my favorite vocals of all time is Richard Manual's vocal on this song from "Music From Big Pink" album. Wore that album out! Shout out to Dylan for writing such a great song! I wish he had written a few more good tunes...Haha! Thanks Reina del Cid for keeping this kind of music alive. Your sound is awesome and downright therapeutic.

[billsteeves]

I've been a Dylan fan for over 35 years. Hands down the best cover I've ever heard.

[imannonymous]

Keeping the faith, and reminding us that rocknroll will never die. Another timeless classic, bless ur hearts

[lamonanderson]

Watching you sing the classics never gets old. I've been a fan for over 5 years. Keep doing what you do and know that you gave fans

[guynelson]

I cant believe it's been 4 years ago that i commented on this, , , I showed this to my Dad who was a musician on the side but a candy man full time. He is gone now but loved these videos!

[robertocentomo]

I started to know these two young artists by searching this song...and from that far day I coudn't stop watching them. Thank you Reina and Toni.❤️🇮🇹

[carlneville]

The most undoubtedly, indisputably, absolutely gorgeous music clip on Youtube

[rsmith]

I usually don’t comment on stuff but this is so good I couldn’t help it. A Bob Dylan song, covered by everyone (probably 50 versions on Spotify), and you two get it PERFECT! Great job.

[wattsd]

The two of you make every Dylan song come to life. So much passion!
