![]() Its a very selfless way to end a song that started so personal. The final four verses, which cement this track for me, are just so interesting because it expands the meaning of Dylan’s memory in so many ways: he’s not there, she’s not here, but the love he received from his mama was so special that he hopes this memory triggers her to remember that greatness she had. There are situations I have experienced that remind me of her even if she would never know why.ĭylan goes further, he goes on to detail how remembering her doesn’t mean he wants to worry her, ask her to come back, or demand anything from her, at the end of the day he just hopes she’s thinking of herself as highly as he has her in his thoughts…even though he isn’t with her. On good days, I can’t help but empathize. Its not a surprise that first verses from Dylan point out how a beautiful sunlit road or maybe a beautiful day bring thoughts of his “mama”. However, I find solace, that the living world can still offer much of the more important spiritual love. Unfortunately, my mom is no longer around, so fleeting memories are all that remind me of that physical, human aspect of it which I can’t experience from her again. Something about maternal love feels so unique that whomever we want to stick around with has to at times dive into these affections to keep part of us happy. I know with mine, a lot of them revolved around hopes and dreams, or dealing with personal crises. Who but our mamas guide us through how we interact with the people we will grow to love in a different way? There are certain sentiments and conversations you can only have with your mama before they give way to your significant other.
