It'll be played at my funeral in Scotland, when I slip away.. God bless you, Bob. Thank you for everything. I'm grateful you were with me since I was a teenager.

Oh Mercy is an underappreciated Dylan album. I think it is one of his best.

Patty, I'm 77. And I hope I die before Bob. I couldn't handle it. He made my life what it is: an honest one.

Lyrics: Seen a shooting star tonight And I thought of you You're tryin' to break into another world A world I never knew I always kinda wondered If you ever made it through Seen a shootin' star tonight And I thought of you Seen a shootin' star tonight And I thought of me If I was still the same If I ever became What you wanted me to be Did I miss the mark Overstep the line That only you could see Seen a shooting star tonight And I thought of me Listen for the engine Listen for the bell As the last fire-truck from hell Goes rollin' by All good people are prayin' It's the last temptation The last account Last time you might hear The sermon on the mount Last Radio is playin' Seen a shooting star tonight Slip away Tomorrow will be Another day Guess it's too late to say the things to you You needed to hear me say Seen a shooting star tonight Slip away

❤✌🎶 I'm 67 and still listening Bob... When I have major decisions to make about my life I listen to Dylan... Peace everyone...

Done a morning of crying. About my Dad mainly. He loved the skies over here

I had this played at my only brothers funeral in 2012. Glad I can come here jus every now and then

That last verse "slip away" is so simple, and yet it is a stroke of sublime genius.

I'm 68 now, a dear wife of 48 years, 7 children, and 24 grandchildren. We all love Jesus and will be seeing Him face-to-face soon. God just took my daughter's, unborn baby home. Her name was Lily and I dedicate this song to her.

Finally it's released, waited for this done for so long.

*_This is for you Christine , I miss you and will always love you. As soon as I heard this song this morning you were my first thought so I googled the lyrics and wow, this song is all you baby! I seriously hope we meet again and that we will know each other. RIP_* 💥⭐🌠

One of my favorite Dylan songs, glad to see the original version finally on youtube

There are two kinds of music - Bob Dylan's and anything else.

Unbelievably beautiful. The nearest to divine I have ever heard

Dedicated to my soldier hero James Joseph. What a hero an father. I feel it was a sign this song he is still thinking of me. God Bless you Bob for making such a great masterpiece of music for my heart and soul. 😂😂

i discovered this song thru my father that he kept playing ... lovely❤️ Rest in peace Papa

The production, so concise and the delivery of Bob's vocal. It brings the listener into an intimate mood. Grown men may cry. And I certainly did.

He's Got me through some tough grief ❤

God knows I never heard this song before. 2 days ago I saw a shooting star across the sky blazing. So I said there must be lyrics out there somewhere to describe what I saw. And this was the song that touched my heart. I lost my husband I May 21st 2023 this is for him. I know he broke through! 🙌

Once had a shooting “star” start above the railroad tracks in front of my house and “land“ on the peak of my Home’s bedroom where I sleep. Looked so cool! :)

Possibly my favorite dylan song.

99' I'm still here Dad ... Waiting for you to return. 🙏

My favorite Dylan song. Amazing words, amazing emotion & amazing harmonica at the end.

Genius songwriter 🌠

❤️ his voice.

Pure Gold, Just Pure Gold!

Hidden Dylan gem this song is

Did I miss the mark Overstep the line That only you could see Ive been so lucky to have 'found' Dylan when young...genius

Oh Mercy, released in 1989, and in and out of my mental playlist ever since, seems every time it comes back, it comes back harder, and knock's me off my feat even harder than the last time.

thoughts of my dad every time

Another gem that many won’t appreciate. I love this one.

Ending this song with the harmonica sums up the deep feeling within, uplifting and softly fluttering away into a blissful darkened night sky…

The greatest problem in life is to find the right timing..to catch the shooting star .I think Bob Dylan rarely had this problem as he sees these shooting stars before they start.

ALL LOVE PROPHECIES ARE BEING FULFILLED NOW!!🙏🛸🦅☯️🕊🛸🙏

Amazingly underrated Dylan song.

The words are coming out like a brush in a canção, master work 🌞

Great, underrated.

I've always liked Bob Dylan's music. I still like this song..

That's a wonderful thought. Recently I've been thinking that aren't we so lucky to have lived in an era with Bob's music. Imagine if we'd have missed that! Probably lived only half a life. Enjoy your funeral my friend.

SUPERB!!! 🌟❤️

Great song Robert! Very glad you rode the bike out of New Orleans and got some perspective, and time, before coming back to finish the album with Danny. It's a bookend to Masters of War for sure, thank you LORD!

💕 lovely song

Oh Mercy. indeed

Once again Dylan treats us. A song of longing for a place time and lost love. i guess its to late to say the things to you that you needed me to say.

Love this beautiful album !

Great song love it

His best

I always kinda wondered If you ever made it through.

One of Dylan's best

Thank you!

I love you Bob with all my heart x

Meraviglia!❤️

Barry, that's a cool thing to think. To me, that means your dad was great.

This song is one of Bob Dylan's best songs everything about it is amazing from the lyrics to the harmonica at the end it's a tear jerker for sure

Played this song at my friend's sisters funeral 2005,we kinda fell away from each other, he moved away,, but he came back home we met up in my house for a few beer and a we reminiscing moment happened,, alexa was on and he said play shooting star,, we never spoke, sung a word, or even hummed under our breath,, when it was over we just cried... ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I bought one in 92 or 91, was a cassette tape.

Sounds like Bob wrote this song with his "father" in mind....Great lyrics!

Bob Dylan: Beautiful Man Are You! Love Victoria 💞

Amo la lírica, sutil, no complaciente

❤️❤️❤️❤️

thank you for un paywalling oh mercy

❤️

Für all die guten Geister, die uns von dort oben zulächeln, die unbemerkt an unsere Seite treten und uns bestehen, die uns wortlos gut zureden, wenn uns der Mut sinkt, die uns „in fremden Kleidern begegnen und uns segnen“ (so ungefähr irgendwo bei Ringelnatz).

See You soon... Dad & Danny...

There is this sayin that tears are like the ocean,and that they will lead you to a new shore,will if that is true,then maybe I will come to my shangri la very soon.Anyway saw a Shooting Star last night,slipt into the eternal infinity of the universe....

Mibbe one day he'll play a gig on George Square ...

Bought most albums but not this one I assume cos I was going thru a bad time in my life and was almost permanently drunk then. Odd my pervy maths teacher told me when I was 16/17 deputy head by then called McCartney he told me I knew where the invisible line was.

I was asking ok
