Link to Song: One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)
What you should know about this song: “One of Us Must Know” is an emotional confession that truly highlights Dylan’s mastery of poetic lyrics. There is a ting of sadness as the song carries through and Dylan recalls the misunderstandings and apologies he shared with someone who seemingly slipped away. The song was written as a single in 1966 and included on his classic Blonde on Blonde album, but it was over a decade later that Dylan chose to perform this song in concert.
“This friend of mine used to keep playing Blonde on Blonde. I could hear something there that was really powerful. I realized he was truly making a crossover. It was very powerful.” – Eric Clapton*
