=== Side two === ==== "Mr. Tambourine Man" ==== "[[Mr. Tambourine Man]]" is the first track on side 2 of the album. It was written and composed in early 1964, at the same approximate time as "[[Chimes of Freedom (song)|Chimes of Freedom]]", which Dylan recorded later that spring for his album ''[[Another Side of Bob Dylan]]''. The lyrics are surrealist and may be influenced by the work of [[Arthur Rimbaud]] (most notably for the "magic swirlin' ship" evoked in the lyrics). ==== "Gates of Eden" ==== "[[Gates of Eden (song)|Gates of Eden]]" is the only song on the album that is mono on the stereo release and all subsequent reissues. Dylan plays the song solo, accompanying himself on acoustic guitar and harmonica. It is considered one of Dylan's most surreal songs. ==== "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" ==== "[[It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)|It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)]]" was written in the summer of 1964, first performed live on October 10, 1964, and recorded on January 15, 1965. It is described by Dylan biographer [[Howard Sounes]] as a "grim masterpiece". The song features some of Dylan's most memorable lyrical images. Among the well-known lines sung in the song are "He not busy being born is busy dying," "Money doesn't talk, it swears," "Although the masters make the rules, for the wisemen and the fools" and "But even the president of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked." Musically, it is similar to Dylan's cover of "[[Highway 51 Blues]]", which he recorded four years earlier and released on his debut album, ''[[Bob Dylan (album)|Bob Dylan]]''. ==== "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" ==== "[[It's All Over Now, Baby Blue]]" is the album's closing song. The song was recorded on January 15, 1965, with Dylan's acoustic guitar and harmonica and [[Bill Lee (musician)|William E. Lee's]] bass guitar the only instrumentation.<ref>{{cite book|title=Bob Dylan: Performing Artist, 1960β1973|url=https://archive.org/details/bobdylanperformi00will|url-access=registration|edition=2nd|author=Williams, P.|page=[https://archive.org/details/bobdylanperformi00will/page/138 138]|year=2004|publisher=Omnibus Press|isbn=978-1-84449-095-0}}</ref>
