Bob Dylan has always spoken to me, for 60 years, like a friend, a guide, and a comfort. This song touches me now as I approach my end….its not dark yet……

If he'd only ever written this song, it would be enough to call him a genius - staggering.

Losing a child last year has left me hollowed out with pain. Hearing this song gives me an inexplicable sense of solace and comfort knowing that someday my light will too dim to darkness and allow me to meet my darling boy on the other side. Just not yet....

This was on my daughter's playlist and played to her the night before she died from a brain embolism. She was in a coma but I hope that she heard Bob Dylan whose music resonated with her. It makes me sad that someone so lovely died so young.

I worked on this video. It was shot in Memphis in the New Daisy theater on Beale Street. Dylan had rented the theater for a week to rehearse while working up a set to take on a small club tour.

This is my favourite Dylan song. Apart from all my other favourite Dylan songs.

A glorious hymn from history's greatest singer songwriter....a masterpiece

My husband passed 2 years ago Dylan was one of his favourites I get great comfort listening to Bob 🥰

Absolutely beautiful. This song is a masterpiece.

Bob Dylan is by far the most influential, inspired, singer songwriter of all times, he makes me thrill still after more than a half of century... Thank you Bob, with you is never dark...

the ultimate bob dylan song - words, sounds, atmosphere and god humming in the background.

It’s not dark yet but it’s getting there. What an incredibly poignant title. Absolutely brilliant.

That guitar. Gently swaying, like trees in a quiet rain.

"Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain"...deep

His lyrics remain so prophetic. Dylan is a master for sure. I love this song.

Well, you know, you get to a certain age in this life and the words to this song begin to hit so close to home.

Dylan's depth and musicality are unparalleled

I listened to this song all the time when my father was dying and now it always reminds me of him and his last days on this planet. It always makes me cry. I had witten him that letter ... we had lived in London and we had been to Paris ...and ended up living in Spain in front of the sea ... we were both very dissapointed with humans whom we had both devoted our lives to, to no avail. His nerves were naked and numb in the end due to the sedation ... and I wasn't there at his side for a couple of days because a very very close cousine commited suicide the day he was sedated. I had to go to the morgue to identify her and stayed with her til she was cremated. My father seemed to be waiting for me to say goodbye...because he didn't leave until I was back at his side and told him I loved him and that now he could go to the light ...then, he died. It seemed the song had been written for us, for that moment in our life.

It IS one of his absolute best and most poignantly beautiful songs, evoking in me a very specific bitter-sweet time in my life.

I bought my first lp in 1963 at 75 listening to this 1130 at nite Alone love this Man

My favourite Dylan song is without doubt whichever song I happen to be listening to when i think about it. Never be another like this in any lifetime.

When Bob Dylan is on stage it will never get dark - he just has an amazing way to light up bright shining candles for the lovers of his music. Tx BOB. Old Hippie Cape Town.

This is majestic. It might very well last forever.

Sit alone, close your eyes and take it in...best way to listen to such a lovely song.Through all the ups and downs in life often music is what sees you through...it has for me

i LOVE DYLAN! I LOVE THIS SONG! I LOVE EVERY SONG HE HAS WRITTEN AND SUNG!

The song that helps me unlock the grief of losing my Dad suddenly when my wife was 22 weeks pregnant with our twin girls. Thank God for this song.

We are very lucky we have Bob with us the greatest poet of our time

As Dylan and his music have become more soulful his voice just reaches you, guys a musical Genius

Absolute masterpiece of a song on another brilliant album by the genius that is. Put it like this when Bob goes to heaven I want to be five metres behind him😊

JUST WATCHED A MOVIE CALLED THUMPER & THIS WAS THE LAST SONG IN YHE MOVIE HAD TO LISTEN IT AGAIN I HAVE LOVED DYLAN FOR 50 YEARS

Apart from the brilliance of the Dylan's lyrics and delivery, the producer - Daniel Lanois - gets a lot of credit from me. I know a lot of Dylan fans disagree, but I think Lanois' striving for texture rather that just sounds from the array of backing musicians, works beautifully for the song. In the wrong hands the track could have ended up pretty depressing but the production transforms it into more like a spiritual.For me, this is up there with Dylan's best work.

I just came to the realization that this is my favourite Dylan song.

My life of music would've been absolutely destitute without this man's endlessly creative touch.

The world would never have been any better without Dylan and songs like this... In each lifetime we can enjoy special beings that share the same space and time that we do. Their art leaves an indelible stamp on that lifetime and time itself... . Thank-you Dylan

I guess my dad would have chosen this song in his last months, fighting his battle against a ruthless disease. He kept his suffering to himself, never complaining

As much as some people may not like him, he is a incredible song writer and poet.His ability to put out some great songs, is insane.I,ve been lucky to listern to him since i about 9/10 back in 60,s and seem to enjoy him still. Keep it Bob.

So lyrically rich... Love Bob's voice. Sung from the heart ♥

Dylan has wrote some amazing stuff and this is right up there with the best of them.

Magically it gets better every time you listen to it, and him

I’ve still got the scars physically and mentally,no sun will heal,no drugs don’t really take away the pain I play the game and now it’s for real, Not Dark Yet yeah but I feel like I’m getting there.Absolutely true Mr Dylan hopefully no one minds my slight change of words, that is how a bad motorcycle crash just coming up to four years ago left me in chronic pain for me to feel, but know one, know one can feel or see.I’m seventy next year been a Dylan fan for well over sixty years this song because of my conditions has given me a chance to reflect on my life, Thanks 🙏 Ivan Obst I sure hope it will not be deleted

I lived in Toronto 2013-2017. Figured out after a while that the same guy I'd see in the line at my coffee shop was Lanois. Great neighbour, took time to chat with everyone. He played a fundraiser for dogs in the neighbourhood and I got to see him work that pedal steel in person. It's something to see. I've been hooked on that big wide ethereal sound ever since, even though I'd heard the joshua tree over and over again growing up I finally understood that it is very special/unique

The mellow twangy guitar is a great contrast to Bob's poetic voice. I can't think of a sad song that elicits so much raw emotion. Dylan's a genius.

Pure genius..love this dude's music..God Bless you Bob!

I came here by accident, just scrolled through YT. And now my heart breaks. I lost the love of my life almost 2 months ago, on the 15th of Febuary 2020 and I miss him so much. And than hearing this song makes me shatter to pieces.......

Bob Dylan and music know no boundaries . A living genius when it comes to music 🎶🎼👍

I have listened to this about 20 times in a row and I'm still going back to play it again. I can't find words to properly express how I feel about this song, maybe Bob himself could help me in this regard!

The honesty of the song, what a unique delivery, what a superb singer. Music, voice and lyrics all blends together to a great work of art.

No words for this song can ever give it justice 🤭😥💔

I can enjoy this every day. Never boring!

Eu não sei porque cada vez que escuto esta canção me emociono tanto, que tenho lágrimas nos olhos, assim sem motivo nenhum. Dylan toca com uma intimidade assustadora, as vezes penso que ele observa e conhece minha alma. Estranho e maravilhoso. O premio Nobel de Literatura foi justo.

Left my son at school. It was all quiet at the school next door.. closed cos of a case of Covid. Here, in Malaysia it may not be much but the cases are climbing. Chanced on listening to this song by Dylan, I've not heard before and, the lyrics.. at a time like this.. 'fear in the darkness' but there is still hope.. 'it's not dark yet.' So peaceful. Your music speaks a language of calmth. God Bless..

Pure Masterpiece.

Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all day It's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' away Feel like my soul has turned into steel I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal There's not even room enough to be anywhere It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind She put down in writin' what was in her mind I just don't see why I should even care It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris I've followed the river and I got to the sea I've been down on the bottom of the world full of lies I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there I was born here and I'll die here against my will I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there

This is another fav Dylan song....what a master...it's not dark yet but it's getting their....lucky to see my play this in Australia.....legend...no one else IS. 38 original studio albums....60 years....no one else...Lachlan from Australia.....please tour one last time on your rough & rowdy ways tour

The whole album Time Out Of Mind album is absolutely amazing i became depressed around 17 years old I credit this song and the album for keeping me that way for 10 more years. I stewed in my own misery while listened to it. I remember a line from one of his songs like “I can write a song that can make a grown man lose his mind” that he sure can. Dylan’s music is so powerful it dances on the line between this world and the one you want to be in. The ambience in this song and album just gives me goosebumps every time. A word of advice, don’t listen to this album too much you will seriously loose your mind, you start to question everything about yourself and life in general, how someone can write the music that captures depression so succinctly is a testament to Bobs ability as by far the greatest songwriter in history. He was clearly battling his own demons to capture the detail for this album.

One of my favourite Dylan songs, love the lyrics!

I was a D.J. in University Radio. I got sober from the booze and cocaine life some 5 years before. One day during a show I get a call from an old buddy I went on long cocaine runs with. He wanted to request this and 'Trying to Get to Heaven" to his old friend, Moi. That was my introduction to this classic album.

I love the way Dylan sings as though he's on death's door. His breathing is almost like a death rattle and he sounds like he's straining and in pain, even though he's actually trying to sing. This song makes me think of my own death and how I wish I could sing like Dylan about the pain of existence. Unfortunately, I was classically trained and so I'm unable to make such raspy, hoarse sounds with my voice. He's a genius. Brilliant.

“I’ve been down on the bottom of a world full of lies, I don’t see nothing in anyones eyes!” Blows me away! I feel the same. Leaders especially- nothing in their eyes! He’s right and has Always known. (More than us)

Brilliant version of this amazing song by the greatest rock musician of all time, thank you for uploading, Ivan.

The most beautifull song I ever heard from Bob. It says a lot.

Well it’s now 2022 and still listening to Bob Dylan after half a century. Happy new year to all….

Real class, the backing group are superb 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nobody comes close except Mr Cohen God's gift to the World of music still listening to this man for fifty odd years now and Robert Zimmerman still delivers..!!!

Just so good. I could play this all day & never get sick of it. Thank you sir for the words & the music.

"I hope this video will not be deleted" - Ivan Obst I truly hope so too! Thanks for uploading this, long may it remain on KZfaq! After all, it's not dark yet.

Every Dylan song is my favourite song !!

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed 4 years ago with stage 4 cancer. Had another tumour removed August 2023... and the fight continue. I loved this song before I was diagnosed, and now even more❤ Its on my playlist ... and hope it will bring comfort to loved ones when its my time to go.

Beautiful🥰 Love it❤ Thank you for sharing🙏

I was born here and I'll die here Against my will. I know it looks like I'm moving, But I'm standing still. Arguably the most perfect verse Dylan has ever written.

Stunning absolutely stunning - always loved it ❤

Thanks for uploading this wonderful song and video.

Thank heaven he went electric all those years ago... this is sublime.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful song, I so love it. Bob Dylan’s performance is out of this world xx 😊❤️

Bob Dylan , éternellement jeune et en perpétuel renouvellement ; le temps n'a pas de prise sur lui, c'est pourquoi nous l'aimons tant .

Another Masterpiece from the number one.

Class of thee highest order. Thanks for the upload

I definitely believe that this is the best of the best Bob Dylan is a very special person. He definitely has a god-given talent

Wow wow wow ... i am breathless...how wonderful is this...👍💞😍🌿🧘‍♀️💎

Incanto assoluto del più grande cantautore del mondo!

Just about the greatest song by the greatest song and dance man of all time.

No cover ...and there are many.....comes even close to conveying Bob's ironic delivery or arrangement, no matter how hard they try,. Once again Genius at work and play.

Truly a so Beautiful song with so lovely lyrics Bob we love you

"I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes." 💔

It's such a master piece of music.

Full Cold and foggy weather and i am inside my warm dark room with dim light and listening this awesome song.

Beautiful

Wow gets better this song will live forever a masterpiece

thanks for the sharing, this song is so pure and wonderful. the clip too!

By far the best version. Magic!

"I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes"

I have a brother.. He molested me when I was younger... I have a father who left without a trace when I was 3 years old... All I know at the age of 41 is that my brother loved this song, my father loved this song and so do I... Even though shit happened and we all went our separate ways... I still want this song to be the thing that made us a family... A indefinable piece of history... No matter what... I don't condone any of it... But it binds us...

Afterlife series 3 brought me here,beautiful 😭

Magnificent performance of a very fine song. Beautiful, evocative footage too.

Most reflective yet-as a poet Dylan s maturity reveals Superb observance ❤

I have no doubt devoted a great deal of my life to studying the art of the meister himself, our great barde, Bob Dylan. Some say it was not a good thing. I am now the same age as Dylan when he recorded this song. Though i have related to much of his art, I can't pretend I understand what he was saying. This haunting song reminds me of my age, but I feel 17 in the spirit. Thanks Bob.

One of my most favorites of my most favorite singer all time - Bob Dylan. Nothing depicts Post-modern humankind than this song.

I have this song in my mind constantly! the moore i think of it, its not a song thats in me, its that feeling of it!
