}} "Tangled Up in Blue" is a song by Bob Dylan. It appeared on his album ''Blood on the Tracks'' in 1975. Released as a single, it reached #31 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. ''Rolling Stone'' ranked it #68 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. ''The Telegraph'' has described the song as "The most dazzling lyric ever written, an abstract narrative of relationships told in an amorphous blend of first and third person, rolling past, present and future together, spilling out in tripping cadences and audacious internal rhymes, ripe with sharply turned images and observations and filled with a painfully desperate longing." "Tangled Up in Blue" is one of five songs on ''Blood on the Tracks'' that Dylan initially recorded in New York City in September 1974 and then re-recorded in Minneapolis in December that year; the later recording became the album track and single. One of the September 1974 outtakes was released in 1991 on ''The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991''. == Lyrics == "Tangled Up in Blue" is one of the clearest examples of Dylan's attempts to write "multi-dimensional" songs which defied a fixed notion of time and space. Dylan was influenced by his recent study of painting and the Cubist school of artists, who sought to incorporate multiple perspectives within a single plane of view. As Neil McCormick remarked in 2003: "A truly extraordinary epic of the personal, an unreliable narrative carved out of shifting memories like a five-and-a-half-minute musical Proust."〔"The Rough Guide to Bob Dylan", Nigel Williamson, ISBN 1-84353-139-9〕 In a 1978 interview Dylan explained this style of songwriting: "What's different about it is that there's a code in the lyrics, and there's also no sense of time. There's no respect for it. You've got yesterday, today and tomorrow all in the same room, and there's very little you can't imagine not happening".〔Interview with Jonathan Cott, ''Rolling Stone'' 11/16/78〕 The lyrics are at times opaque, but the song seems to be (like most of the songs on the album) the tale of a love that has, for the time being, ended, although not by choice; the last verse begins: :''So now I'm goin' back again,'' :''I got to get to her somehow...'' and ends :''We always did feel the same,'' :''We just saw it from a different point of view,'' :''Tangled up in blue.'' Dylan continually re-worked the lyrics even after the album was released; the version on his live album ''Real Live'' (and throughout the '84 Europe tour) has radically different lyrics. In the first studio version (NYC sessions, September '74) and often in live performances he has sung some of the verses from a third-person perspective (usually "he was laying in bed," but sometimes even "she was laying in bed"), as opposed to the first-person point of view in the ''Blood on the Tracks'' version. Dylan has said that the version recorded on the 1984 ''Real Live'' album is the best. Dylan has often stated that the song took "ten years to live and two years to write". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tangled Up in Blue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
