He sings "...the next 60 seconds could be like an eternity" 60 seconds before the song ends. That's genius songwriting.
-
This song is a perfect example of Dylan's unique phrasing... and it's this phrasing... the odd places in which he pauses and the words that he seems to stretch for an eternity... that make him... and this song... one of a kind...
-
From Dylan's Oscar Speech: And I want to thank the members of the Academy who were bold enough to give me this award for this song which obviously [is] a song that doesn't pussyfoot around nor turn a blind eye to human nature.
-
Bob himself definitely had real affection for this song. He used it to open hundreds of shows throughout the ‘00s and ‘10s
-
This is not only my fave Dylan song but one of my fave 10 songs! ♥ So many great lines. Such an amazing song! ♥
-
as a hip hop fan who also absorbs varieties of great artists, you're a smart man for exploring masterminds like Dylan. RESPECT.
-
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is the other notable film he scored. Billy 4 and Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door are both classics.
-
I kind of see this as the third song in a trilogy -- The Times They are a Changin', High Water, Things Have Changed. I consider this as one of his best.
-
Dylan is an impressionist. His songs aren't about narrative, they're intended to convey and create feelings. He does that with lyrics and vocal phrasing.
-
Do "Shelter From The Storm" by Dylan, you'll love it lyrically.
-
I think this song grows on you. The instrumentals are great, the lyrics are also great, nothing lags behind and Bob creates incredible characters with a unique story to tell. You can't go wrong with this tune. It may become one of his all time classics.
-
My favorite recentish Dylan song. I can identify.
-
I'd never listened to this song before. Dylan's huge output is astounding. Thks for putting this one up.
-
According to Wiki, the song won an Oscar and a Golden Globe. I had no idea. Nominated for a Grammy also.

From Wikipedia: ' "Forty Miles of Bad Road" was a 1959 instrumental hit for [guitarist] Duane Eddy. According to Gray, Eddy's producer Lee Hazlewood heard one Texan say to another, "Your girl has a face like forty miles of bad road", and immediately recognised the remark's potential as a song title.' Also, in the line about 'looking up at a sapphire-tinted sky', the phrase 'sapphire-tinted sky' is apparently from a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Everything Dylan does has the attention and judgement of millions. He's been under intense scrutiny, personally and musically, for over 60 years. He's telling us he's human and has been hurt by negative judgements in the past and has finally learned to be less vulnerable.
-
One of my favorite "recent" Dylan songs. Love the video too.
-
Love this song. Witty, insightful, cutting lyrics, a great take on moving on, and unlike most Dylan songs, you can even dance to it!! 👍🏽👍🏻🎸✍🏻
-
Sounds like an older Dylan - things have changed, he can't relate, he doesn't care. I think being so human is what made him so appealing as a reluctant icon/hero of his generation.

Love this song ... fabulous. 💕💕💙💙
