One of my favourite Dylan songs when I was a young girl, in England, training to be a nurse. It spoke to me and I understood every word of it.

"It's all just a dream, babe, a vacuum, a scheme, babe, that sucks you into feeling like this." How does a 22 year old kid come up with lyrics like that and then set them to a melody that perfectly expresses the emotions of the singer? Thank you for posting my favorite Dylan song of all time.

Dylan changed everything he touched. There will never be another.

Your magnetic movements still capture the minutes I'm in. Forever

This little love song changed everything.

He says he doesn't know where that genius came from. He said it wasn't him. Sounds like a genius to me. The more I learn about good music, the more I worship him.

Ramona, come closer Shut softly your watery eyes The pangs of your sadness Will pass as your senses will rise For the flowers of the city Though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes And there's no use in tryin' To deal with the dyin' Though I cannot explain that in lines Your cracked country lips I still wish to kiss As to be under the strength of your skin Your magnetic movements Still capture the minutes I'm in But it grieves my heart, love To see you tryin' to be a part of A world that just don't exist It's all just a dream, babe A vacuum, a scheme, babe That sucks you into feelin' like this I can see that your head Has been twisted and fed With worthless foam from the mouth I can tell you are torn Between stayin' and returnin' Back to the South You've been fooled into thinking That the finishin' end is at hand Yet there's no one to beat you No one t' defeat you 'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad I've heard you say many times That you're better than no one And no one is better than you If you really believe that You know you have Nothing to win and nothing to lose From fixtures and forces and friends Your sorrow does stem That hype you and type you Making you feel That you gotta be exactly like them I'd forever talk to you But soon my words Would turn into a meaningless ring For deep in my heart I know there is no help I can bring Everything passes Everything changes Just do what you think you should do And someday maybe Who knows, baby I'll come and be cryin' to you.

Oh my goodness.... just wonderful that is!

Late comer to Dylan. Almost 70 now and this has me in tears. So thankful I found all I had missed.

*_One of the absolute most important people of the 20/ 21st Century - Fact ..._*

It is difficult to pick my favorite Bob Dylan song, but certainly To Ramona is one of my favorites. A moving and evocative tune written by whom I consider as the greatest artist of my generation.

No one to beat you No one to defeat Except the thoghts From yerself feeling bad ❤

Bob Dylan is a unique talent!

Greatest there ever was took the dark out of my life that,s for sure

The more I listen to him the more I'm in awe of his genius at putting words together for so many songs.

I have also been listening to Bob Dylan since 1961. Kinda feel like I grew up with him💕💕💕💕

Bio i ostao ikona jednog prohujalo vremena, ikona uz koju smo stasavali.

"...it's all just a scheme, babe, a vacuum, a dream, babe, that sucks you into feeling like this..."

Wonderful. Never bettered

spills out like a lyrical cascade

First time I heard this song had a joint in my hand and a tear in my eye. First song to make me cry.

This concert from Newcastle,my cousin and me stood outside the stage door and listened to this show because we couldn't get tickets.Happy memo

Dylan, a genius, i'm in love with these words

My absolute favorite Bob Dylan song. It’s really amazing to see a recording of him singing it live. Thank you so much.

Thank you Bob for every SONG you have wrote and sung.

Your unbelievable Dylan contributions are the most sacred gifts anyone could offer to the world. I am forever grateful to you. This video means the world to me. Thank you.

I'd forever talk to you / but soon my words /would turn into a meaningless ring / for deep in my heart I know /there's no help I can bring / Everything passes , everything changes , / just do what do you think you should do / and someday maybe , who knows , baby / I'll come and be crying to you . To Ramona (BOB DYLAN )

What a wonderful song, his voice and intonation, the tune, the guitar playing and the beautiful harmonica playing. How does he do it?

Dylan, genio para mi el artista más hermoso y fabuloso, no me cansa escuchar su música 🎶 todos los días. Bob Dylan por siempre y sieeeeempre.❤ uan fanática hasta la muerte ,desde Chile 🇨🇱

Such a beautiful song, one of my late wife's favourites, she heard a lot of Dylan with me around. What a great performance, who knew what further gems where to follow.

Brilliant song in my top ten of Dylan tracks

coolest man on the planet 65-66

This is soooo good it frightens me

this was the first Dylan song I ever heard. They played it on a radio DJ show back in the mid 60's. I didn't know the name of the artist but I knew from the beginning of the song that this singer was going to be HUGE. I guess I was right.

Thank you Bob... and a thx to creator of this video presentation.

This just carries me away every time.

The first song I ever heard Bob do live. Unforgettable.

How brilliant his words and delivery.Thank God he came along to change things.

When I teach about Dylan, I use this song to demonstrate his ability to perfectly and organically match lyrics to the melody, tempo, meter of the music. You might try this. I ask how many students have ever heard "To Ramona." I then select one at random from among those who have never heard the song. I hand them a slip of paper (or use a whiteboard) containing the opening two lines. I then ask the person to recite the words aloud while slapping a beat on the table. I ask him/her to repeat it a few times and then try to sing it. Invariably, the student winds up singing the words to the actual melody - as if that's the only way they could possibly be sung. Which is, in fact, the case and is the point of the exercise.

Love this song ... 💟

goes straight to the heart

Back then, he sung with a lot of passion. And this song has such a beautiful melody. Thanks for the videos.

This was a realist talking to a boss eyed romantic what a tough old world it is to be kind & gentlle in....all the time .Cheers Lord Pig !

... a music is not alone in its song, because, produced, its energy is the fire of a heart that we hear !

best lyricist ever 'it's all just a scheme babe a vacuum a dream babe, that sucks you into feeling like this' Wow what a songwriter of such a young Dylan

It's Super. Love it. Remember it back in '65. Loved it then, love it now.. Yes the sound is great. Dylan the prophet.

Very early, Bob penned in a song," and i know my song well before i start singin'". Still true today.

I'm another one thanking you for the work it took to compile this for us.

Every time I look at this footage I have to stop and check if I already liked the video, and yes, I liked it many many times, I loved it many many times

🎶 Ramona, come closer, shut softly your watery eyes The pangs of your sadness will pass as your senses will rise Oh, the flowers of the city, though breath-like Get death-like sometimes And there's no use in trying to deal with the dying Though I cannot explain that in rhymes Your cracked country lips I still wish to kiss As to be by the strength of your skin Your magnetic movements still capture the minutes I'm in But it grieves my heart, love, to see you trying to be a part of A world that just don't exist It's all just a dream, babe, a vacuum, a scheme, babe That sucks you into feelin' like this I can see that your head has been twisted and fed With worthless foam from the mouth I can tell you are torn between staying and returning Back to the South You've been fooled into thinking that the finishing end is at hand Yet there's no one to beat you, no one to defeat you 'cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad I've heard you say many times that you're better than no one And no one is better than you If you really believe that then you know you have nothing to win And nothing to lose From fixtures and forces and friends your sorrow does stem That hype you and type you, making you feel That you gotta be just like them I'd forever talk to you but soon my words Would turn into a meaningless ring For deep in my heart I know there's no help I can bring Everything passes, everything changes Just do what you think you should do And someday maybe, who knows, baby I'll come and be crying to you ~

Love it! Nice editing and it sounds great. It's my favorite song from that album. so many amazing songs from this guy.

Nothing but great, one of the best "eras" in many of Bob's IMO. I love this period of his. Thanks SP

I saw Dylan in the sixties and it is incredible how he managed to survive the drugs the constant touring etc that he did tells us something whilst some fell by the wayside Hendrix and Joplin to name but two.Despite everything Dylan was always in control which apart from his talent was his great strength.

Gosto muito mister Dylan no seu melhor as suas musicas sao sempre atuais

❤️Recently showed this to my eldest son He said, this is the one we saw before but leave it running How about that Thank you Pig, Thank you Bob Over and out Blighty happy ❤️U.S

beauty at its finest

Best years of him. A different Bob.

Gold piece coming to reality 2023

Harrrrrrrrppppppp … and lovely video 56 years young❣️🌺🌹👌🎶🌞

....there is no help I can bring. Lovely. Thanks for sharing.

I've never heard this song but saw Bob & Rolling Thunder review in '75. But today I'm here due to Lucinda Williams book. Another great song writer. 😊

How could one man write so many timeless lyrics, that'll hold it's weight for eternity? He was literally a genius. I'm talking Einstein, Musk, whoeverthef*ck level! ❤

Brilliant

Excellent. Thank you very very much, as always.

Ramona has long been one of my favorite songs. I'v performed it so many times. Wonderful to see it here! Thank you!

I love this song. Thank you for posting it.

His harmonica is haunting

I’ve been a fan of Bob Dylan for many years and this is the first time I heard this song

Wonderful video and wonderful song.

Jaw dropping genius

Love this track. I like Another Side Of Bob Dylan. It has some great songs on it. All I Really Want To Do, Chimes of Freedom, To Ramona, My Back Pages, I Don't Believe You, It 'Aint Me Babe. That's not bad for an album that was slated.

This and My Back Pages are the best hymns against following ideologies we have.

I’d like to meet someone named Ramona one day

Thanks for putting this together. One of my all time favs

Dang U struck gold Feed us we r greatful

Thanks so much for posting this priceless early Bob performing live. His performance reminds me of the line from Simon and Garfunkel's song "Homeward Bound" - I'm a poet and a one man band! I purchased the DVD of "Don't Look Back" recently - last watched it on TV when it first came out.

His possibly cos he's concentrating so hard blinking is quite alluring

this was delightful!

This song is both funny and tragic, a warning to Baez to give up, saying fighting is futile because he knew nothing wud be able change the world at a big enough scale for it to matter, Baez tho never listened and suffered from it unable to see she was fighting an unwinnable war, but he knew she’d never change which is probably why they never stayed together

This is based on a classic German waltz known in Mexico as the tundata or waltz ranchero that gave birth to Mexican norteño music, bob dylan was the first gringo on making a hipster corrido or ranchera with American folk mix

Thanks a lot for sharing. Greetings, Andi 🙂🎸

The Great White Wonder in Concert with a guaranteed Trade Mark of Quality.

The sighs, no use in trying to be with thd dying. Greieves my heart to see be apart of a world that just does not exist, fooled you

Truly a genius- a once in a generation kind of dude- an Asura as Iain M Banks described it.

grazie

Totally amazing. I'm going to try this with capo ii in D later. then I will become 1965 dylan.

This like so many classic

Great poet

Não ouço Bob Dylan me ocupando com algo. Eu paro com algo para ouvir Bob Dylan

Nice work! Thanks for the post

He got her with that one.

❤️The triprigramathon I love this

GREAT POST AGAIN THANKS SWINGIN PIG ♥♥♥

Very good

Meraviglioso genio

He DOES explain it 'in lines'!

To Ramona was about Joan Baez, as was I Want You. Right? Her song to BD was Diamonds and Rust. My favorite JB song. Heartbreaking.

Nice.

Break on through...that`s what he did with this one. The first true Dylan song...weird psychedelic smartness!
