I’m obsessed with Tangled Up in Blue

I have been a Bob Dylan fan for 25 years or so. I first heard “Tangled Up in Blue about 20 years ago. I bought Blood on The Tracks after a bad breakup. It’s my favorite album of all time also. I think I’m obsessed with Tangled Up in Blue.

I have listened to it more than any other Dylan song. I have probably heard it 3,000 times or so. I listen to it several times a week. Sometimes I will just start singing it out loud. It randomly pops up in my mind. The weird thing is that it’s not even my favorite song by him. Like a Rolling Stone is my favorite Bob Dylan song.

The opening line just hooks you and takes you to a different time and place. I love how it can either be several different stories, or one story depending on your interpretation. And I would say outside of Like a Rolling Stone, it’s Dylan’s most accessible song by the general public. It’s also full of great lines, especially “The only thing I knew how to do was to keep on keeping on, like a bird that flew. Does anyone else absolutely love this song? I Tinder listen to this and Shelter from the Storm back to back.
