MODS: I would argue that there's plenty of politics going on in this song/video but if you believe it lacks sufficient political content for this forum, please feel free to lock.

Here's the opening track off Dylan's new album - Together Through Life. It just landed in my mailbox and...it is really tasty, a major improvement over his last original studio album (Modern Times). The photos in this video are taken by Bruce Davidson - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Davidson_

Beyond Here Lies Nothing (Lyrics)

Oh well, I love you pretty baby
You're the only love I've ever known
Just as long as you stay with me
The whole world is my throne
Beyond here lies nothin'
Nothin' we can call our own

Well, I'm movin' after midnight
Down boulevards of broken cars
Don't know what I'd do without it
Without this love that we call ours
Beyond here lies nothin'
Nothin' but the moon and stars

Down every street there's a window
And every window's made of glass
We'll keep on lovin' pretty baby
For as long as love will last
Beyond here lies nothin'
But the mountains of the past

Well, my ship is in the harbor
And the sails are spread
Listen to me, pretty baby
Lay your hand upon my head
Beyond here lies nothin'
Nothin' done and nothin' said

1. I just got the album in the mail today.

There was plenty of politics on the last two albums, too. Subtle, though. I liked "Modern Times" but if this is better, that's great! The song titles look very interesting.
