Whatever You Wish To Keep, You Better Grab it Fast

It's All Over Now Baby Blue, cette chanson parfaite, à vous mettre à terre, chantée par un Dylan auréolé d'une classe absolument majestueuse, est définitivement dans mon top ten, all over the time... Voici donc, pour fêter la 2000 ème visite sur ce blog, une série de covers au mérite plus qu'honorable ( (pas évident de reprendre un truc pareil !) vu le gratin qui s'y colle...
Avec en plus :
- La version live filmée de Bob en 1965. La classe incontestable!
- Une vidéo amateur d'un type jouant chez lui ce titre à la guitare accoustique. On se rend compte alors que :
1/ la compo en elle-même n'est pas simple, surtout la ligne de chant.
2/ les versions qui suivent sont servies par des gens talentueux.
3/ ce type sans aucun charisme ni talent est totalement dépassé par la force de cette chanson...

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
