inadvertent subliminal (ER LIMINAL) messaging
sometimes you send a song to someone because you had a conversation about it and she hadn't heard it so of course, just email the track and continue the conversation to illuminate your solid yet inconsequential point (becuz MUSIC IS FUnn). sometimes that song means a lot more than you realized because, hell, you don't always listen to lyrics. she might always. maybe. you don't know.

the point about that dylan song was the melody; the melody was co-opted (as covered and rerecorded later, in jazz form) by a rap producer you both love. and incidentally, you both love dylan. and you both have the pete rock song. so let's match em up.

but later it becomes clear that the dilllonnn lyrics are SEISMIC. bob's like "i love you, you love me, why is this so complicated? just be with me." haha. this message is totally synergistic with bob's pleading, vulnerrable "country boy" crooning.

WHY WAIT ANY LONGER FOR THE WORLD TO BEGIN
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO
WHY WAIT ANY LONGER FOR THE ONE YOU LOVE
WHEN HE"S STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU
LAY LADY LAY
LAY ACROSS MY BIG BRASS BED
STAY LADY STAY
STAY WHILE THE NIGHT IS STILL AHEAD
I LONG TO SEE YOU IN THE MORNING LIGHT
I LONG TO REACH FOR YOU IN THE NIGHT
STAY LADY STAY
STAY WHILE THE NIGHT IS STILL AHEAD
