Bob Dylan Confesses She Was the Love of His Life

What a musical genius Bob Dylan is. One never tired of listening to his music.

Joan Baez "found her voice" long before she met Dylan and had already recorded a couple of albums. He hitched a ride on her success, appearing on stage many times at her invitation, and hurting her deeply when he failed to return the compliment after she travelled with him on a UK tour.

“I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky
When the children were babies and played on the beach.
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You were always so close and still within reach.”.

Growing up I was more into the sound of the music than the words of the song… till I heard Dylan (and the Beatles). This whole album is wonderful and the song Sara paints a perfect picture in my mind.

Bob Dylan’s music was the backdrop for my life in the 60’s & 70’s, and I adore the man. I’m sorry that I never got to meet him. His lyrics are everything. The music is special. Love you Bob!

[durangomcmurphy]

Amazing the guy had any time to write music .

[PatriciaSousa-mp]

He's beyond the best . Absolutely love him . Man of many talents . Great at all . There will never be another Bob Dylan . ❤

[mariodonizetepelissaro]

Dylan is a genius. He is more than a great songwriter. He is a great storieteller and the greatest living poet and the one of the greatest poet of all the times. He continues to perform well now, in the stages around the world and writing books and song. All with the same quality as always.

ive b een following bob dylan all my life ffrom 1972 as a teen now im 64.his music will play at my funeral.❤

[Peter-wckr]

So many of his songs bring back memories of a past love from so long ago.

[velinabrown]

Dylan did NOT help Joan Baez "find her voice"! She was already a big star BEFORE she ever met him.

[Chuckie_Baby]

Suze Rotolo left New York in June 1962, and moved to Italy with her mother. Bobby composed "Tomorrow Is a Long Time", for Suze, not for Ian Tyson as he claims.

[gbferrell]

Arguably his most passionate song, Sara, off the Desire album tells the whole story. The song reeks with honest, direct emotion without mincing of words. Unlike a lot of his work, there is no guessing about what he is singing about here.

[husseinnz]

Yes Sarah is the love of his life. She is also the subject of Red River Shore, in which he quotes the advice she famously gave him "Go home and lead a quiet life". And we get an expression of the enduring regret at losing her, and acknowledgement of her anchoring presence - "Sometime I think nobody ever saw me here at all except the girl form the red river shore." and why 'red river' - that is the (perhaps subliminal) awareness of her soft pink aura. Many do not know that song - have a listen!

[johnballard]

For me he's the best songwriter of all time by some distance. Saw him in Zurich and Sheffield and the shows were a tad disappointing though as Bob mumbled and was lost in the rhythm of his backing band.

[deborahcazalas]

Joan Beaz was already the queen of folk before they met.

[AllStarLeague]

Long story short Dylan was too busy being Dylan, he was in such a successful place to where he just couldn't love these women the way they should 🤷🏽

[BRAD-ob]

As it was said earlier. Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, Sara, Blood on the Tracks. We did not need this video to know the answer to the question. But a good job on the video none the less.

[SuperBeachbum]

The best thing he ever said was that Elvis sun sessions are the most creative and best music ever .

[KB-ihgf]

Four decades ago I walked away from the love of my life when he confessed he’d got someone else pregnant. Lay lady lay was playing on the bus station speakers. Stay lady stay…

[sharonhearne]

Narcissists can never be true to anyone but their own neurotic egos but that does not negate Dylan’s outsized talent as a great songwriter and there is no question that these varied relationships fed that eclectic and brilliant song catalog.
