It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue is a song that was released in 1965 by Bob Dylan.

Dylan wrote the lyrics and melody probably in January 1965 and took him for his album Bringing It All Back Home on. He was joined by bassist Bill Lee. The song was released on 22 March 1965 as a single. It has been speculated that Dylan with the song sings of his sadness at the waste of love for Joan Baez or whether he has the followers of folk music explains why he moved away from the folk camp. However, to date it is not known whether he ever thought about a particular person, whether or not rather a mixture of different people is treated in the text.

In 2002, the magazine Uncut listed the song as the Number Eleven of the best Dylan songs of all time. In a reader poll of the magazine It's All Over Now, Baby Blue came on the tenth of Dylan songs while the song went to # 7 in another ranking.

Joyce Carol Oates was to her short story Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? inspired by Dylan's song.
