Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Farewell Angelina
The bells of the crown
Are being stolen by bandits
I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles
The music play slow
But farewell Angelina
The night is on fire
And I must go
[Verse 2]
There is no use in talking
And there's no need for blame
There is nothing to prove
Ev’rything still is the same
A table stands empty
By the edge of the stream
But farewell Angelina
The sky's changing colours
And I must leave
[Verse 3]
The jacks and the queens
They forsake the courtyard
Fifty-two gypsies
Now file past the guards
In the space where the deuce
And the ace once ran wild
Farewell Angelina
The sky is folding
I'll see you after a while
[Verse 4]
See the cross-eyed pirates sitting
Perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans
With a sawed-off shotgun
And the corporals and neighbors
Clap and cheer with each blast
Farewell Angelina
The sky it is trembling
And I must leave fast
[Verse 5]
King Kong, little elves
In the rooftoops they dance
Valentino-type tangos
While the hero's clean hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
Not to embarrass anyone
Farewell Angelina
The sky is flooding over
And I must be gone
[Verse 6]
The camouflaged parrot
He flutters from fear
When something he doesn't know about
Suddenly appears
What cannot be imitated
Perfect must die
Farewell Angelina
The sky's flooding over
And I must go where it is dry
[Verse 7]
Machine guns are roaring
Puppets heave rocks
At misunderstood visions
And at the faces of clocks
Call me any name you like
I will never deny it
But farewell Angelina
The sky is erupting
And I must go where it's quiet

I’m pretty sure he’s singing a song about the transition in his life when his career blew up and his switch from folk icon to rock musician probably directed to either Joan Baez or suze rotolo explaining how his career has taken him to new and wild places and that he can’t be a normal civil person anymore and marks his transition to rock music. I think this verse sells it for me The camouflaged parrot, he flutters from fear When something he doesn't know about suddenly appears What cannot be imitated perfect must die Farewell Angelina, the sky is flooding over and I must go where it is dry He’s calling himself the parrot saying he’s scared when he masquerades as a folk protest icon and he feels he can’t live up to the woodie Guthrie standard, so he has to go. The rest of the verses make a lot of sense from this perspective and it makes sense why he’d gift the song to Baez as well

So, most times I can garner a/the message in a Dylan song. Visions of Johanna confound people, I get it, Ballad of a Thin Man seems to throw people but it's a simple one. This one? Not a clue, you just kind of enjoy it, for it.

@jakehoward2493 Жыл бұрын

To me this song is about a young man going off to war with Vietnam in context. Could be wrong but that is the beauty of Dylan's lyrics, once you find your own interpretation the song begins to mold around it with every other listen

This is the definitive version. I cannot listen to the Baez or Mellencamp version where they add the V7 chord at the turnaround - it destroys the stark purity and desolation conveyed by the modal arrangement of the original (this) version. My opinion, if you don't like it, we agree to disagree. I think Joan B and Mellencamp are both monster musicans btw, but I just dont like what they did with this song. Jeff Buckley - nailed it. He kept the spartan chordal arrangement and added embellishments around the sparseness - and it worked like magic.

@nancysherburne7445 Жыл бұрын

I may love music but I do not have the kind of knowledge you have. I just let my ears decide if the singer is good. I have listened to Baez for four or five decades so maybe I'm biased, but I like her version better than Dylan's.

@Soulshine77 Жыл бұрын

@@nancysherburne7445 music knowledge is overrated :) All the music teachers I've had always said to me "If it sounds good it IS good". What I am referring to is that in the section "the triangle ...music plays slow" - Baez plays a different chord/tonality whereas Dylan holds steady to the root chord, he doesn't change the tonality on that section. I like Dylan's arrangement v/s all the other cover versions. Its just my personal preference. You might like Jeff Buckelys version as well, he was a very accomplished vocalist closer to Baez than Dylan.

@jakehoward2493 Жыл бұрын

Could you please drop in the comments what chord arrangement this is? Dylan has many arrangements like this but I can never quite get my guitar to sound the same, it always sounds like a slightly more major arrangement when I play it then when he does on many songs

@Soulshine77 Жыл бұрын

@@jakehoward2493 not sure what you mean but i think he's just letting the open strings ring and holding the G note on the high E string to get that chimey/drone type sound. Def dont play barre chords that will destroy the feel. I believe the chords are G, C, Em, D. Try it like this maybe it will work for u - G - 320003 Em - 022003 C - X32003 D - XX0233 something like that...:) He could also maybe using an Open G tuning not sure...
