Probably my favorite version of my favorite Dylan song.

[alphonsushayes]

A great version of one of the great songs. Thank you.

I can't believe how motionless they remained throughout the entire performance.

[johnknottenbelt]

James Taylor puts such a wonderful touch in every tune he sings & plays. Man, his music pulled me through moments of despair & added warmth to the great times too ! What a joy.

[catherinegeldart]

Still resonates with me. Heard the original as a preteen and didn’t know what it meant till my mid 20s

[dougwhiley]

That was a beautiful cover. His version has an undertone of heartbreak.

[mrdeafa]

James Taylor has a voice like melting chocolate. Dylan's words are running water and daily bread. Our lives need this.

[garyschneider]

James Taylor is a treasured and blessed troubadour for sure

[craigdylan]

James could make a rock melt. I saw this guy way back in Boston in the late sixties. Three people in a cafe. Us and James. He must of thought I was nuts copying fingers stylings and chords. James could make rocks

[alphonsushayes]

Thank you so much, I am a big fan pf both. All the best from Ireland.

Sort of a cultural “Mountain”... Range. Well said James Taylor & lovely take on this early Bob Dylan classic.

James Taylor, my first concert at The Hollywood Bowl when Mud, Slide Slim came out. AMAZING concert, especially for my first one.

[pocahon]

His voice feels everything but is still a soothing touch.
Beautiful sounding guitar.
What lyrics

[mariavictoriacabreraballez]

Best version ever! Thank you, JT; thanks, Bob Dylan!

[lordemed]

Wow! No one ever did this better than James Taylor.

As North America, the 🌎 begins to come out of the darkness and strong hold of covid-19, 🇺🇸 and a few other countries are attempting to become creative as far as safety protocols and concerts go. I know May are left out of rescheduled concerts. Until my Canadian border opens up, live- streaming, and past performances we shall have to settle for here in 🇨🇦, and "ain't no use to sit and wonder why" nor "think twice about" what just is. We must pack a healthy dose of patience, respect for a process just now and a whole lot of thanks into our daily lives that we came out of this ordeal still intact So fortunate to tune up a James Taylor song or one he has covered. Feeling blessed.

" Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right "

… It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If'n you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm a-traveling on
But don't think twice, it's all right

… And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right

… So it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you anymore
I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child, I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

… So long honey, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say, "Fare thee well"
I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind
You could've done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Deusche Version
„Überlegen Sie nicht zweimal, es ist alles in Ordnung“

… Es hat keinen Sinn, herumzusitzen und sich zu fragen, warum, Baby
Wenn nicht, wissen Sie es noch nicht
Und es hat keinen Sinn, herumzusitzen und sich zu fragen, warum, Baby
Irgendwie wird es nie gehen
Wenn Ihr Hahn im Morgengrauen kräht
Schau aus deinem Fenster und ich bin weg
Du bist der Grund, warum ich weiterreise
Aber denken Sie nicht länger darüber nach, es ist alles in Ordnung

… Und es hat keinen Sinn, das Licht anzuschalten, Baby
Dieses Licht habe ich nie gekannt
Und es hat keinen Sinn, das Licht anzuschalten, Baby
Ich bin auf der dunklen Seite der Straße
Aber ich wünschte, es gäbe etwas, das du tun oder sagen würdest
Um zu versuchen, mich dazu zu bringen, meine Meinung zu ändern und zu bleiben
Aber wir haben sowieso nie viel geredet
Aber denken Sie nicht länger darüber nach, es ist alles in Ordnung

… Es hat also keinen Sinn, meinen Namen zu rufen, Mädel
So wie du es noch nie zuvor getan hast
Und es hat keinen Sinn, meinen Namen zu rufen, Mädel
Ich kann dich nicht mehr hören
Ich denke nach und wundere mich, während ich die Straße entlang gehe
Ich habe einst eine Frau geliebt, ein Kind, erzählt man mir
Ich gebe ihr mein Herz, aber sie wollte meine Seele
Aber denken Sie nicht länger darüber nach, es ist alles in Ordnung

… Bis dann, Schatz, Baby
Wohin ich gehe, kann ich nicht sagen
Auf Wiedersehen ist ein zu gutes Wort, Baby
Also sage ich einfach: „Lebe wohl“
Ich sage nicht, dass du mich unfreundlich behandelt hast
Du hättest es besser machen können, aber das macht mir nichts aus
Du hast einfach meine kostbare Zeit verschwendet
Aber denken Sie nicht länger darüber nach, es ist alles in Ordnung
