Jeffrey Martin - Buckets Of Rain (Bob Dylan) | The Influences

Показать описание

Jeffrey Martin playing a cover of 'Buckets Of Rain' by Bob Dylan for The Influences.

“Most love songs feel depressingly far from anything that love feels like to me. Sweeping, giant, romantic notions about eternity and weightlessness and sunshine. Give me a break. I think Dylan captured little perfect flashes of deep love in this song – the small wisdoms we find in knowing our hearts a little better in those moments, the melancholy that always accompanies love when we realize how temporary everything is. Scarcity of time, scarcity of easiness and joy. I like the confidence of the writing– we know what we know in love, and that we can’t explain it doesn’t make it any less powerful or crucial or true. Little red wagon, little red bike, I ain’t no monkey but I know what I like, and I like the way you love me strong and slow. And then the most beautifully simple line, I’m taking you with me honey baby when I go.”
