~Bob Dylan (David Gates interview Sept 1997)
Most of The Time” is a “big song,” a major work, the sort of listening experience that brings people back to an album again and again.

From the album Oh Mercy (September 18, 1989), recorded March 12, 1989 @ The Studio, New Orleans, Louisiana. Produced by Daniel Lanois.

I’m clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path
I can read the signs
Stay right with it[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row]

If i ever see her again

Like anyone who has loved and lost, I have at times found this song unbelievably meaningful and unbearably sad. Lyrics like this hit with a cosmic force; who but Dylan can put down in writing such simple eloquence?
