As we all know that Boy Dylan is celebrating his 70th birthday I‘ve decided to publish „MR. TAMBOURINE MAN“ which he wrote and released for the Byrd’s in 1965. The Byrd’s recording of the song was influential in initiating the musical subgenre of folk rock.The song has been covered by many artists.Bob Dylan’s and the Byrd’s version of the song have appeared in various lists rankingit as the greates song ever.
Here is the link to the song‘s lyrics.http://www.mp3lyrics.org/b/bob-dylan/mr-tambourine-man/
It seems that the narrators describes an early morning after a night without sleep and he is still unable to sleep. Despite being aware of his weariness he is ready to follow Mr. Tambourine Man.
There have been speculations that the song refers to drugs such as LSD . The lines „take me to a trip upon your magic swirlin ship “ or „through the smoke rings of my mind“ in particular. make think of such a connection.
See below the link to the song.
