‘INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS’ TRAILER – WHAT’S THE SONG?
by Jeff Giles Yesterday
For film buffs, the arrival of a new Coen brothers picture is always cause
for celebration — but the first trailer for the critically lauded
filmmaking duo’s new release, ‘Inside Llewyn Davis,’ also includes
something of note for classic rock fans.
We’re talking, of course, about its inclusion of ‘Farewell,’ a somewhat
obscure Bob Dylan song originally recorded — and discarded — during the
sessions for 1964′s ‘The Times They Are a-Changin’.’ After laying
dormant for decades, ‘Forever’ was formally released on the 2010 vault-
purging collection ‘The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 – The Witmark Demos: 1962–
1964.’ Clearly, someone in the Coen camp is a Dylan completist, because a
version of the track (apparently different from the one included in ‘The
Witmark Demos’) forms the musical foundation for the ‘Llewyn’ trailer.
The choice of ‘Farewell’ makes sense, given that ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’
is a fictionalized retelling of the life and times of legendary Greenwich
Village folk artist Dave Van Ronk, whose substantial talent and indelible
identification with the neighborhood earned him the nickname ‘The Mayor of
MacDougal Street.’ While Oscar Isaac, who plays Davis in the film,
reportedly does a fair amount of his own singing and playing, it wouldn’t
be a Coen brothers movie without an eclectic, impeccably sequenced
soundtrack — and it looks like the ‘Llewyn Davis’ disc will feature a few
minutes of vintage Dylan. Check out the trailer below.
Farewell by Bob Dylan
Oh it’s fare thee well my darlin’ true
I’m leavin’ in the first hour of the morn
I’m bound off for the bay of Mexico
Or maybe the coast of Californ
So it’s fare thee well my own true love
We’ll meet another day, another time
It ain’t the leavin’
That’s a-grievin’ me
But my true love who’s bound to stay behind
Oh the weather is against me and the wind blows hard
And the rain she’s a-turnin’ into hail
I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin’ west
Though I’m travelin’ on a path beaten trail
So it’s fare thee well my own true love
We’ll meet another day, another time
It ain’t the leavin’
That’s a-grievin’ me
But my true love who’s bound to stay behind
I will write you a letter from time to time
As I’m ramblin’ you can travel with me too
With my head, my heart and my hands, my love
I will send what I learn back home to you
So it’s fare thee well my own true love
We’ll meet another day, another time
It ain’t the leavin’
That’s a-grievin’ me
But my true love who’s bound to stay behind
I will tell you of the laughter and of troubles
Be them somebody else’s or my own
With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high
I will travel unnoticed and unknown
So it’s fare thee well my own true love
We’ll meet another day, another time
It ain’t the leavin’
That’s a-grievin’ me
But my true love who’s bound to stay behind
I’ve heard tell of a town where I might as well be bound
It’s down around the old Mexican plains
They say that the people are all friendly there
And all they ask of you is your name
So it’s fare thee well my own true love
We’ll meet another day, another time
It ain’t the leavin’
That’s a-grievin’ me
But my true love who’s bound to stay behind
