20 MONDO SCRIPTO
21 MONDO SCRIPTO
I Want You In an urban world somewhat reminiscent of Marcel Carne’s 1945 film Children of Paradise – par t circus, par t Edwardian decadence – a soul adrift reaches out to a nameless love amid a gallery of grotesques. As with many of the voices on Blonde On Blonde , where ‘I Want You’ appeared, the persona in this song is an anthology of ambiguities and ambivalences, cer tain only of wanting some kind of connection with the persona the lyrics address. He claims that he ‘wasn’t born to lose’ her, but from the evidence that seems unlikely.
First album release: Blonde On Blonde, 1966
