about

• Dylan wrote the song during the summer of 1975 at a corner table in the Greenwich Village Other End nightclub. He first played it live on October 30, 1975, at a show in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

• This track tells the tale of a gypsy girl and of the man who must leave her to enter the "valley below." Some critics see the song as a metaphor for Dylan's crumbling relationship with his then wife, Sara Lowndes, but it was a specific experience that inspired it.

When Dylan was 34 years old, he visited Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France. While there he attended a gypsy celebration. The experience left a strong impression on him. "I'll never forget this one man played Russian roulette with five bullets in the chamber!" Dylan wrote of the experience. "Anyway, things went on and it was time for me to go. They said, 'What do you want Bob, as you're leaving us?' I just asked for a cup of coffee for the road. They put it I a bag and they gave it to me. And I was standing there looking out the ocean, and it was like [I was] looking at the valley below where I was standing."

• The song has a specific inspiration, but it's not all literal. "My feeling about the song was that the verses came from someplace else," Dylan said to Paul Zollo. "'Valley below' could mean anything."
