Gates Of Eden (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gates of Eden is a song by Bob Dylan, and appears on his fifth studio album Bringing It All Back Home, released on 22 March, 1965 by Columbia Records. It is considered to be one of Dylans most surrealist songs, alongside It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) and Mr. Tambourine Man (both of which appear on Bringing It All Back Home). Many believe it to be a continuation from Mr. Tambourine Man and his earlier song, Chimes Of Freedom.
Dylan described the song as a "sacrilegious lullaby in D minor" and a "love song." Clinton Heylin said, "it was a song of vivid experience, constructed in the form of a dream, that came to [Dylan] in 'a house that is not mine."
