It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue is a song by Bob Dylan. It is track 11 from the Bringing It All Back Home album, released on 22 March, 1965 by Columbia Records.
Among the numerous artists who have covered it were The 13th Floor Elevators, Them ( with vocals by Van Morrison), Barry McGuire, Joan Baez and, more recently, Hole and the duo of Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs. The Byrds recorded two versions, four years apart, the first of which was released as an unsuccessful promo single in late 1965. The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band covered it for the release of their first album, Volume One. George Harrison referenced the title in his 1987 single When We Was Fab.
The song was a source of inspiration for Joyce Carol Oates' short story, "Where are you going, where have you been," prompting her to dedicate the story to him.
A portion of the first verse of the song was used as the title for the 1995 novel "Yonder Stands Your Orphan" by Barry Hannah.
The Van Morrison version of the song is used in Beck's Odelay in the song "Jackass" as the musical accompaniment. '
