Two songs by Bob Dylan have collided below. Name the two?
Remove the actual lyrics from those two songs, then rearrange the remaining words to form the TITLE of a third Dylan song. Which one?
'Her Jamaican rum howls in the bones
of her face, she's kept delicate and grave.
She screamed: ‘don't waste your words,
my, they're all too concise and too clear.’
Seems like the mirror is breaking my eyes -
See that, she threw me clean outside.'

The silence is deafening. But, how many Dylan songs have 'Jamaican rum' in them, hmmmm?

The challenge has once again been accepted...the songs are 4th Time Around and Visions of Johanna.
The title song would be, See That My Grave Is Kept Clean
(nicely done, Bowzer...save Beyonce for another day)

We all recognize a love song when we hear one. Love songs are a universal genre of oral poetry and musical texts. Bob Dylan has written many beautiful love songs. Most of them conform to the traditional lyrical form as opposed to narrative. However, “Tangled Up in Blue” is composed primarily in narrative form. The singer is both a lone lover, wishing for his lost love, and a narrator, recounting a past experience. But, as we will see in a close reading of the text, the singer is foremost a narrator. Rather than expressing how he feels, he describes rather obscure events1.
Like the lyrical love song, this text comprises a nostalgic reflection upon a lost love. In verse B of the first stanza, however, the singer begins to tell the story of being with his beloved, parting from her, meeting up again, and parting from her again. He weaves a narrative in which the lover seems to ramble aimlessly while finding, losing, finding, losing and hoping to find his beloved.
Much of the story is indeed a journey. The lover is “heading out for the east coast” at the start of the text. He uses the metaphor of a car (one that can only go so far) for a romantic relationship. In verse G, he is living in the north woods while in verse H, he travels south to New Orleans.
