14 MONDO SCRIPTO
It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue A merciless valedictory: the final verdict on a relationship, seen from outside, although the object of the verdict is ambiguous. This is one of the dense song-poems that strikes a match and sets a fire on the 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home. The carpet is moving, the sky is folding, an ex-lover has stolen the blankets and an orphan is holding a gun and crying in this more lyrical precursor to the stance and point of view in his slightly later masterpiece, ‘Like A Rolling Stone’.
First album release: Bringing It All Back Home, 1965
