Girl From The North Country This song of longing for an absent love was written in 1962 and appeared on The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan – a kind of companion piece to that record’s ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right’, but with tenderness and regret supplanting the other song’s bitterness and stoicism. It would be unmatched in its intense summoning of a lost love until ‘If You See Her, Say Hello’, from the 1975 album Blood On The Tracks . As in that later song, the lyrics address not the absent lover, but a friend who may come across her, thereby reinforcing the sense of distance and sorrow.
First album release: The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, 1963
