about

This track was inspired by a certain scene from the webcomic "Todd Allison and the Petunia Violet," where, in an apartment complex courtyard, Dylan’s violin playing gathers a dancing crowd. You can find the scene here: www.petuniaviolet.com/index.php?id=430 (Though do be warned--TAPV has been archived, unfinished, and may never be completed. Consider if you want to get invested! I am already painfully so)

The ambient sound is from a soccer game on my college campus.

lyrics

Say, do you recall Dylan…
Tall, dark, slim
Could I tell you ‘bout our Dylan
Young man on the violin
And since they say that bad luck follows
At the hips
Let’s shake it while we’re dancing
Dylan on the violin

Hey Dylan! Can we dance the homesick blues away?
Hey Dylan! Can you shake the fog from your mind?
Can you blow the ghosts from my eyes?
Hey Dylan, you were the kid
Blowing bubbles of smoke
Cigarettes in the forest
Oh, hey Dylan, you were the cough
In the back of our throats
As we kept moving on, oh
Hey Dylan, can we dance the homesick blues away?
Hey Dylan, can we dance the homesick blues?
Ooh, oh, oh… Oh.

(Interlude)

Say, do you recall Dylan…
(Oh, I know you won’t forget)
Tall, dark, slim
(And I know you won’t let go…)
Could I tell you ‘bout our Dylan
(But for a moment, let’s forget)
Young man on the violin
(For a moment, let’s let go)

And since they say that bad luck follows
(Oh, I know you won’t forget)
Like hounds at our hips
(And I know you won’t let go…)
Let’s shake them while we’re dancing
(But for a moment, let’s forget)
Dylan on the violin
(For a moment, let’s let go)

Since they say that bad luck follows
At the hips
Let’s shake it while we’re dancing
Dylan on the violin
