I do hope you find it in you to get back to writing...<br />Not knowing about Lennon's views up until now, I always thought the song is Dylan's take on what was (at the time) a huge milestone for the Beatles. The harmonica line recalls the sitar, the chord progression is almost identical. One can even sing FTA to NW's melody, it works quite well.ghost of electricitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-63476235946238032362013-09-11T22:38:39.040-07:002013-09-11T22:38:39.040-07:00great interpretation of dylans folk/rock transitio...great interpretation of dylans folk/rock transition. i got here through trying to interpret it strictly in dylan to lennon narrative<br />like the woman is the failed relationship and the you as lennon<br />(picture of john in a wheelchair,<br />johns handicaps? limitations). then i decided to just enjoy the odd six beat song and intricate guitar playing that makes norwegian wood simplistic by comparison... and dylan simply genius.reallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10536325496801841470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-21353017657895794702010-04-05T02:42:20.220-07:002010-04-05T02:42:20.220-07:00* for those that don't know, McCartney got so ...* for those that don't know, McCartney got so stoned at one point that he thought he'd discovered the secret of the universe and told roadie Mal Evans to write down his incredible realization - only to find, in the morning, that the only thing written down was "there are seven levels".

But in the end, I think, as you yourself seem to realize, we'll never know and Dylan will never tell us. I often think he's just putting wordplay together for his own amusement and doesn't know what the heck he's really driving at. He's pretty well said as much in interviews over the years. In his liner notes to "Biograph," he basically says he decided not to release "Caribbean Wind" because it had so many ideas and feelings in it that he kind of lost track of what it was even remotely about. Something like that., anyway. I think of "Fourth Time Around" as a comic relief, albeit twisted, black comedy at that.kevin cramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068872656273139452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-69228355567324664602009-03-10T08:43:00.000-07:002009-03-10T08:43:00.000-07:00To begin with, how do you get "burning the pl...To begin with, how do you get "burning the place down" from "I lit a fire"? When I was younger, I figured it to mean he started a fire in the fireplace. As I got older, I decided that the singer could be doing the same thing that Dylan & the Beatles did during that legendary meeting you described earlier in the article. In during our endless late night college discussions, we figured that Norwegian Wood was a slang for pot. Also, Dylan seems to think that the "theft" was from the other direction. He previewed an early version of the song for Lennon on a visit to England <I>before</I> the Beatles recorded "Rubber Soul" which is why when Dylan heard "Norwegian Wood", he titled his song <B>"4th Time Around"</B>. Makes a lot of sense if you think about it (especially if you're doing what the Dylan & the Beatles were doing together in August of '64!!)icex2008https://www.blogger.com/profile/17445936535130786936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-84859952145473488462009-03-09T15:09:00.000-07:002009-03-09T15:09:00.000-07:00Your blog is so awesomely amazing..love reading it...Your blog is so awesomely amazing..love reading it everyday!danhofstrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432447664423989960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-52796426705435913892009-03-09T12:18:00.000-07:002009-03-09T12:18:00.000-07:00One thing I appreciate with Bob's lyrics is how we...One thing I appreciate with Bob's lyrics is how well he twists descriptions of mundane acts.
