Betydelse av you ain't going nowhere låttext?
Bob Dylans skriv- och inspelningssessioner med The Band (då känt som Hawks) i Woodstock, New York, som började i juni 1967 och slutade i oktober 1967, var källan till många nya låtar som Dylans förläggare skickade ut som demos till andra artister för inspelning. "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" skrevs och spelades in under denna period och innehåller en text som anspelar på att sångaren väntar på att hans brud ska anlända och eventuellt på en sista föräktenskaplig flört. Originalversionen som återfinns på 1975 års album The Basement Tapes spelades in med bandet (minus Levon Helm som tillfälligt hade lämnat gruppen vid denna tidpunkt) i källaren till deras hus i West Saugerties, New York, kallat "Big Pink". En första tagning som spelades in under sessionerna med Basement Tapes innehåller improviserade nonsenstexter som "Just pick up that oil cloth, cram it in the corn / I don't care if your name is Michael / You're gonna need some boards / Get your lunch, you foreign bib". Denna alternativa tagning släpptes 2014 på The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes Complete.
Starting in June 1967 and ending in October 1967, Bob Dylan's writing and recording sessions with the Band (then known as the Hawks) in Woodstock, New York, were the source of many new songs that were circulated as demos by Dylan's publisher for fellow artists to record. "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" was written and recorded during this period and features lyrics that allude to the singer waiting for his bride to arrive and possibly, a final premarital fling. The original version found on 1975's The Basement Tapes album was recorded with the Band (minus Levon Helm who had temporarily left the group at this point) in the basement of their house in West Saugerties, New York, called "Big Pink". A first take recorded during the Basement Tapes sessions includes improvised nonsense lyrics such as "Just pick up that oil cloth, cram it in the corn / I don't care if your name is Michael / You're gonna need some boards / Get your lunch, you foreign bib". This alternate take was released in 2014 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes Complete.
