About Mr. Tambourine Man

"Mr. Tambourine Man" is a song written by Bob Dylan, released as the first track of the acoustic side of his March 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home. The song's popularity led to Dylan recording it live many times, and it has been included in multiple compilation albums. It has been translated into other languages, and has been used or referenced in television shows, films, and books. The song has been performed and recorded by many artists, including the Byrds, Judy Collins, Melanie, Odetta, and Stevie Wonder among others. The Byrds version was released in April 1965 as their first single on Columbia Records, reaching number 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the UK Singles Chart, as well as being the title track of their debut album, Mr. Tambourine Man. The Byrds' recording of the song was influential in popularizing the musical subgenres of folk rock and jangle pop, leading many contemporary bands to mimic its fusion of jangly guitars and intellectual lyrics in the wake of the single's success. more »

Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me, 
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to. 
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me, 
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you. 

Take me for a trip upon your magic swirling ship, 
And my senses have been stripped 
And my hands can't feel to grip 
And my toes too numb to step, 
Waiting only for my bootheels to be wandering. 
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade 
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way, 
I promise I'll go under it. 
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me, 
I'm not sleepy and nobody cares where I'm going to. 
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me, 
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following. 

Take me disappearing down the smoke rings of my mind, 
Through the foggy ruins of time, 
Down past the frightened leaves 
And the lifeless frozen trees 
Way down to the windy beach, 
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. 
I want to dance beneath the diamond sky 
With one hand waving free, 
Silhouetted by the sea, 
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves. 
Please let me forget about today until tomorrow. 
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me, 
I'm not sleepy and nobody knows where I'm going to. 
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me, 
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following.

Borne in its Latin form by two saints: Melania the Elder and her grand-daughter Melania the Younger, the name was introduced to England by the Normans in its French form Melanie. However the name only became common in English usage in the 1930s due to the popularity of Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel Gone with the Wind and its 1939 filmation, as one of the novel's main characters was named Melanie Hamilton. The name's popularity increased until the 1970s since remaining constant. Melanie was the 80th most popular name for girls born in the United States in 2007 and - as Mélanie - was the 86th most popular name for girls born in Fr… more »
