Bryan Ferry - A Hard Rain's A - Gonna Fall ( Lyrics )

As lead singer of legendary art-rock band Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry earned a reputation as one of music’s great innovators. But as forward-looking as Roxy Music was, there was always a side of Ferry that enjoyed looking back. His first solo album, 1973’s These Foolish Things, began with a cover of Bob Dylan’s “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.” On that album, and throughout his solo career, Ferry has covered classic rock, Motown and jazz standards.

This version hands down ...
I love u son ❤️ 1973 was a seven yr old child... Never knew how prolific this song would become..

[danbernstein]

I have never forgotten the first time i heard this song in 1973
I was visiting a friend in Washington Heights, NYC, and he said he had picked up an interesting cover of Bob Dylan!49 years later, it is still jaw-dropping!

Written all those years ago and now in 2024 we are living it, a few verses are history, one or two the present and another few unfolding. Why has humanity failed itself so drastically 😥😖

[samsong]

I have been in LOVE with this song since I first heard it in 2012. This version is just so energetic! Ahhhh, I love it.

[angelocarbone]

This incredible song written by the genius Bob Dylan and beautifully performed by BF and Roxy Music sums it all up really.

[riffraff]

His eloquence is fantastic. I remember when this came out and I knew it was a Dylan song but had not heard the Dylan version and really didn't care.

[samguberman]

A magnificent cover of Dylan's classic, incredible lyrics.

[grantgrove]

Wow! I always loved this song anyway but now that I grasp the lyrics....Just wow!

[brookcrowley]

One of my favourite cover versions of a Bob Dylan composition.

[craigwright]

Fuck me, how good is this tune? And how good is Bob Dylan at writing songs? Dylan total genius.

[bermondsey]

Great band one of so many english bands from the early seventies.fantastic era never will this period ever be surpassed

[TigerRogers]

This longer version is brilliant !! Love those strings at the climax!!

[JohnWebley]

Dylan wrote it, Ferry owned it and you made a pretty damn good vid for me to get all the lyrics, thanks!

[ejnicolson]

Bet, no one will believe this, but I have just heard this track for the first time and it has lifted my spirits above and beyond - where have I been to come across this only now!!! Straight in my all-time greatest hits list. Well high at a late entry - brilliant :)

[davidaston]

This song! Especially Ferry's rendition scares the Shit out of me! Since I first heard it as a kid. It's a nightmare premonition.
That's the way Dylan meant it to be.

[klaustoth]

ferry sang a couple of covers that were so fantastic, you could cry.

[ketchup]

Yeah, this is THE cover of hard rain. Ferry nails it with style and panache in his unique way that just brings it on home in grand style.
Fucking fantastic ✌🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💘

[stevethebutcher]
