Almost Famous - Tiny Dancer

 

This is one of my favorite movies. My parents are from the 60’s and 70’s therefore, as a child I grow up listening to rock and roll and southern rock from this era. The movie kind of reminds me of some of the stories and music they forced me to listen to. After awhile your parent’s music sticks and becomes a part of your childhood.

Bob Dylan- You're gonna make me lonesome when you go-Lyrics

I love an artist that is poetic and Bob Dylan is an amazing song writer. I am taking a creative writing class where we are studying how to write poetry and trust me it’s hard to rhyme the same word over and over without making up a word like Dr. Seuss or not making any since what so ever. I catch myself all the time either humming this tune or singing the lyrics to the song out loud to myself. It is common place in my shower. This song happens to be my favorite of Bob Dylan but he has other really good songs to and some I have yet to discover. ~ KS

I’ve seen love go by my door
It’s never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
Been shooting in the dark too long
When somethin’s not right it’s wrong
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Dragon clouds so high above
I’ve only known careless love
It’s always hit me from below
This time around it’s more correct
Right on target, so direct
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne’s Lace
Crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you don’t know
Can’t remember what I was thinkin’ of
You might be spoilin’ me too much, love
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Flowers on the hillside, bloomin’ crazy
Crickets talkin’ back and forth in rhyme
Blue river runnin’ slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever and never realize the time
Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine’ve been like Verlaine’s and Rimbaud
But there’s no way I can compare
All those scenes to this affair
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Yer gonna make me wonder what I’m doin’
Stayin’ far behind without you
Yer gonna make me wonder what I’m sayin’
Yer gonna make me give myself a good talkin’ to
I’ll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco, Ashtabula
Yer gonna have to leave me now, I know
But I’ll see you in the sky above
In the tall grass, in the ones I love
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Miley Cyrus featuring Johnzo West - "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When ...

I tried to find the actual Bob Dylan version but all I could find was covers of the song. Even though I would rather have The Original Bob Dylan song I picked Miley Cyrus’s adaptation because she put a unique sad twist to the song where as Bob Dylan’s original melody was more upbeat.

This is a sad country song which judging from my ipod I seem to prefer.

Bonamassa was born and raised in New Hartford, New York. His parents owned and ran a guitar shop. He is a fourth-generation musician; with a great-grandfather and grandfather who both played trumpet, and a father who plays guitar, Bonamassa credits his parents with fostering an appreciation of music in his life as early as he can remember. When he was a young child, he would listen to his parents' large record collection. He recalls at age 7, sitting with his parents on Saturdays and listening to Guitar Slim, Bonnie Raitt, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Eric Clapton, and Jethro Tull. Thus, he sees his music as an amalgam of all the various rock and blues he heard as a child.^[8]

He received his first guitar from his father at the age of 4, and by age 7 he was playing Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix tunes note for note. At the age of 11, during a short period of being mentored by Danny Gatton, he learned such styles as country and jazz as well as polka. During this time with Gatton, Bonamassa sat in with Gatton's band whenever they played in New York. He first opened for B. B. King at 12 years of age. At 14, he was invited to attend a Fender guitar event; during that trip to the West Coast he met Berry Oakley, Jr., with whom he founded the group Bloodline, along with Miles Davis' son Erin and Robby Krieger's son Waylon. They released one album which produced two chart singles — "Stone Cold Hearted", and "Dixie Peach." He has since played with Buddy Guy, Foreigner, Robert Cray, Stephen Stills, Joe Cocker, Gregg Allman, Steve Winwood, Paul Jones, Steve Lukather, Ted Nugent, Warren Haynes, Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, Eric Johnson, and Jack Bruce.

This is my midnight melody. When I can’t sleep this is the song that I put on repeat on my IPod to calm my thoughts. The instrumentals are what I love about the song. You could take out all the vocals and still know exactly what the song is trying to say.
