It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

ThemThem

'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' is a song written by Bob Dylan (1965) about moving on, which Irish singer Van Morrison brought to international attention with his band Them in 1966. Them’s electric, R&B-tinged cover gave Dylan’s poetic lyrics an urgent feel, and it became a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Morrison’s husky vocals and the band’s propulsive sound made this tender farewell song resonate with rock fans. Decades later, the song is still celebrated; Dylan’s own version appears on *Blonde on Blonde*, but many also credit Morrison’s rendition for popularizing the tune in the folk-rock canon.
