Bob-Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home

"She Belongs To Me" Is A Song By Bob Dylan And Was First Released As The Second Track On His 1965 Album Bringing It All Back Home. It Was One Of The First Anti-Love Songs And One Of Dylan's First Of Many Songs That Describe A "witchy Woman". The Song May Be About Fellow Folk Singer Joan Baez Or Experimental Artist Nico. Recording
The Version Of The Song That Appears On Bringing It All Back Home Was Recorded On The Evening Of January 14 1965 And Produced By Tom Wilson. This Version Included Electric Guitar Parts Played By John Hammond Jr. And Bruce Langhorne And A Bass Part Played By William E. Lee In Addition To Dylan's Acoustic Guitar And Harmonica. However Like The Other Love Song On Side One "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" "She Belongs To Me" Was Recorded A Day Earlier In An Acoustic Version. It Was Also Recorded Earlier In The Day On January 14 With The Full Band That Is Used On The Rest Of Side One Of The Album. An Unreleased Outtake Of The Song From The Bringing It All Back Home Sessions Is Known To Exist Where Dylan Is Supported Only By Langhorne's Guitar With No Bass Drums Or Third Guitar. Meaning
The Title Of The Song Is Ironic. Although Entitled "She Belongs To Me" The Singer Clearly Belongs To The Woman Described In The Song And That Woman Belongs To No One As Alluded To In This Line She's Nobody's Child The Law Can't Touch Her At All. The Lyrics Describe How The Woman Cuts Her Man Down To Size But Leaves Him Proud To Serve Her As He Bows Down To Her On Sunday" And "salute Her When Her Birthday Comes." Other Lines Celebrate The Woman's Assertiveness And Moral Conviction As The Singer's Tone Alternates Between Devotion And Contempt. Some Of The Lyrics Appear To Reference Dylan's Former Lover Folk Singer Joan Baez Particularly The Line About The Woman Wearing An "Egyptian Ring" Since Dylan Had Given Baez Such A Ring. Other Lines That May Refer To Baez Are A Line Describing Her As "an Artist" And A Reference To Being A "walking Antique" Which May Be A Reference To Baez' Desire To Keep Dylan Writing Protest Songs. John Cale Of The Velvet Underground Has Stated That He Believes The Song To Be About Nico With Whom Dylan Spent Some Time Around The Time Of The Song's Composition. An Alternate Interpretation Of The Song Is That It Is A Paean To Dylan's Muse Depicting It As Unapproachable But Domineering. According To English Artist Journalist And Political Activist Caroline Coon The Song Was Inspired By Her. Another Possible Interpretation Is That The Song Is About Dylan's Country America Rather Than A Person.For Example "salute Her When Her Birthday Comes" May Refer To Independence Day.Giving Her A Trumpet And Drum May Refer To American Militarism.The "Egyptian Ring" Verse May Refer Obliquely To The Power Of The Dollar. The Dollar Bill Bears The Image Of An Egyptian Pyramid. Musical Style
Any Bitterness In The Lyrics Is Offset By The Gentleness Of Dylan's Singing And The Delicacy Of The Accompaniment. The Song Is In A Symmetrical 12-Bar Blues Form. Music Critic Robert Shelton Has Described The Song As Having A Melody That Is Gentle With Relaxed Phrasing And A Swaying Waltz-Like Rhythm Although It Does Not Use The 3/4 Time Signature Of A Waltz But Rather A 4/4 Time Signature. Cover Versions
