Dylan's Top Love Songs

In the sprit of Valentine Day I thought I would count down my top three Dylan love songs. Although two of the three songs may have more to do with lust than love they are all great songs with relationships being the topic at hand. Not saying that your going to sing these songs to your girlfriend and she'll madly fall in love with you, but hey if she’s a Dylan fan it might work

3. If Not For You”

This Song off of New Morning is a great song. Not only do I like it as a love song but also it’s just a great song in general. It is a song in which it talks about how some people just feel so completed by their significant other that they cant even function without them. Just the opening line in which is say “if not for you babe I couldn’t even find the door” and the song is full of words that tell your loved one that if they weren’t in your life not only would you be sad but life just wouldn’t be the same.

2.”I Want You”

This song from Blonde on Blonde is more about lust than love, but it works nonetheless. The song is rumored to be about Brian Jones’ of the Rolling Stones girlfriend because there are a couple lines that hint to him, such as the fact the Jones was known for wearing Chinese suits. This song is more for the girl that you cant have, the one that you are trying to get from another. So although not the most romantic song everyone knows that you want what you can’t have.

1. “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight”

From John Wesely Harding this song has a country feel to it, a feel that would continue onto Dylan’s next Album Nashville Skyline. It is a warm song that I think is a little less romantic than one might originally think. When listening to the song it is not so much a love song as it is a song about trying to get a woman take the relationship to the next step, but it sounds sweet and romantic and it is song that I can listen to any day of the week so that’s why it gets the top spot.
