Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Bob Dylan's Dream (page 1/1) ------ performed by Bob Dylan The sadness is the point | Reviewer: JohnMcLaughlin | 4/9/2008 I know it's not fashionable to read the artist into the lyrics or the oetic text, but in this case, it's so profoundly first-personal, coming from someone whose various masks and personae have come to cloak the young man from the Midwest, not so long before arrived in the big city, that I find it impossible to let this one go. Sadness over lost friendship cuts to the core for so many of us who have travled that road in our own waysa, of course, that it's also possible to pick it up and put it to our own uses too, so it goes both ways, inwards to the personal, and outwards to the near universal. One of the most perfect of his early songs, and one you could wish he hadn't felt compelled to write. I like PP&M, OK, but they're to tuneful, not lost enough for me. As so often, Dylan is his own best interpreter, and I could listen to this one over and over if it didn't hurt so much. Better done by Peter Paul & Mary | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/12/2007 If you really want to hear this song done well, hear the PP&M version on their Album 1700. One of the best songs the trio ever did.
