We’re not the only ones that are excited that Dylan is coming to town. We asked some local musicians to tell us their favorite Dylan lyrics, and here’s what they said. See if you can match the musicians with the lines that they chose.
1. Timothy Summers (co-director of the Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival)
2. Terri Allard
3. Rogan Brothers
4. Laura Thomas (director of the CHS Orchestra)
5. Sarah White
6. Stephen Barling (of B.C.)
7. Andrew Ewell (of American Dumpster)
8. Jamie Dyer (of the Hogwaller Ramblers)
a. Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from.
(“Not Dark Yet”)
b. The man standin’ next to me, his head was exploding,
Well, I was prayin’ the pieces wouldn’t fall on me.
(“Day of the Locusts”)
c. Been shooting in the dark too long
When somethin’s not right it’s wrong
You’re gonna make me lonesome when you go.
(“You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go”)
d. The pump don’t work
’Cause the vandals took the handles.
(“Subterranean Homesick Blues”)
e. Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free.
(“Mr. Tambourine Man”)
f. An’ here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice.
(“Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again”)
g. I can still see them playin’ with their pails in the sand,
They run to the water their buckets to fill.
I can still see the shells fallin’ out of their hands
As they follow each other back up the hill.
(“Sara”)
h. You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on
Don’t think twice, it’s all right.
(“Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right”)
