Not Dark Yet - Shelby Lynne & Allison Moorer
from the album Not Dark Yet (2017)
For me, listening to Bob Dylan is a little like a journey through the fun house. with mirrors distorting reality at every turn. The genius of Dylan is that in these abstractions, the listener realizes truths and feelings that would not have otherwise synthesized.
Then in 1997, Dylan released Time Out Of Mind, an incredible album where he removes the mirrors and bares himself for a brief moment. By his next record, Love & Theft, the distorting mirrors had returned.
Not Dark Yet is the centerpiece of Time Out Of Mind. Here, Dylan looks at his life and acknowledges that he may not live long enough to experience all he desires.
Shadows are falling and I been here all day
It's too hot to sleep and time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't let me heal
There's not enough room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but its getting there
Well my sense of humanity is going dow…
