Links to Song: One Too Many Mornings
What you should know about this song: “A pretty breakup song” is what Rolling Stones Magazine called it, “and the rare tune where Dylan offered a fare-thee-well without assigning any blame” (Issue 1131). Similar to “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” this song was also inspired by his relationship with Suze Rotolo but it’s a bit gentler than the aforementioned song. Dylan has revisited this song many times since recording it in 1964, performing an electric version in 1966 amongst others. Johnny Cash also covered this song and chose to record four different versions of it over his career.
“‘One Too Many Mornings’ is a goodbye to innocence – the end of something and the beginning of something else. I love that song.” – Ralph McTell
