Dylan, Jakob - I Told You I Couldn't Stop Lyrics






In my mind's eye
A plantation
In the clearing is a platform station
In the distance
Is a kingdom
Into the front line is how I'm coming
They say in war
All is fair
I'm headed to the field
In spite of my condition

Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop

Now through the desert
Out to the sea
Weather-beaten through all four seasons
Now there is love
In my creation
I've come back
For all the right reasons
I ain't your castle
You're not a queen
It isn't yours that you're so busy there protecting

Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop

Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop

All this beauty
I'll stick you sweet
This naughty world is due for a good a deed
Give me your poor
Your tired huddled masses
Bring me the head of a mule in my glasses
Sing that lonesome high melody
Now rumble your men
The horror behind me

Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop

Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop

Dylan, Jakob I Told You I Couldn't Stop Comments
  1. K.... L....

    Love bob Dylan's stuff, no-one else can put that emotion in words like him, but really like jacobs stuff,

  2. I.... K....

    ICH DENKE NUR; DU BIST INTERESSANT; IT CAOULD GO UP AND DOWN. ABER ICH GLAUBE WIR LASSSEN ES LIEBER. DEINE GRUNDEINSTELLUGEN AKZEPTIERE ICH NICHT.

  3. I.... K....

    LET'S LIFE PLAY

  4. S.... C....

    @***** I go buy a laptop. But my car depressing.

  5. S.... C....

    Richmond county investigator dept

  6. A.... S....

    I think little bob is bring jake

  7. S.... S....

    i'll stop doing when i'm dead
    or comatose in a hospital bed
    till then i'll keep on fighting
    and Jakob will keep me bobbing
    #GreatGenes  

  8. I.... ....

    Oh my god, he so looks like Bobby in this picture!

  9. g.... ....

    ;) I'm here 100% because of Jakob, actually. I loved one of his songs first, looked it up and was surprised to see who he is. I'm in my 40's so at the tail end of the Bob generation but must say that I've never cared for his voice. Jakob's though- and the lyrics and the delivery- LOVE!

  10. R.... G....

    I love the honesty this songs puts out there.

  11. R.... G....

    What makes you think that?...just out of curiousity?

  12. L.... K....

    Ok, he is really hot..

  13. T.... ....

    Favorite song of his solo music. I came here because I like Jakob Dylan

  14. A.... ....

    Nothing wrong with that :)

  15. R.... J....

    Not a person here, i bet, who didn't come here because of bob dylan

  16. A.... G....

    Its good that Jakob chose to be an entertainer instead of a fireman or something....his voice is a soft soothing one...bravo kid....

  17. b.... ....

    He absolutely puts his dad to shame.

    b.... ....

    Dumbest comment I've ever heard in my life LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

  18. E.... O....

    Absolutely beautiful song!!!

  19. A.... G....

    once again, music made me jizzing my keyboard...

  20. t.... ....

    He needs more airtime!! Miss the Wallflowers!

  21. w.... ....

    Gah I love this song, and I love Jakob. His stuff is just fantastic! He paints gorgeous, weathered landscapes with his lyrics and "raspy" voice. it's just GOOD... :)

  22. M.... S....

    I'd guess Mr. Dylan is rather pleased at how Jakob Dylan proved he's a fine writer/performer

  23. S.... ....

    goosebumps...

  24. Q.... ....

    Most definitely underrated. This cat's lyrics are damn good. And even while songs start out in a traditional progression he creates something unique and original around the chords in every one.

    Q.... ....

    You nailed it, so well spoke!

  25. N.... T....

    Ageless.

  26. R.... J....

    Oh Yea he is BUT..This song is EXCELLENT!!

  27. R.... ....

    Excellent musician.

  28. A.... W....

    @coldfront321 yes he didn't want he help BUT IT IN THE BLOOD

  29. n.... ....

    Underrated and damn good. Period.

  30. I.... S....

    must be a curse being the kid of someone that's too big...

  31. c.... ....

    Where do you think Jacob, got his style from, his father Mr. Robert Allen Zimmerman.

    Bob Dylan

  32. A.... S....

    His voice always reminds me of Bob Dylan, there are indeed similarities but are not exactly the same. Jakob's sounds also 'very unique', just like a softer, smoother version of Bob Dylan in his own lyrics and music. love ♥

  33. P.... T....

    I think Bob and Jacob are not to compare each other. They both are great in their own way.

  34. s.... ....

    I don't see or hear his dad in him. He's his own person unless he looks like his mother.

  35. s.... ....

    I disagree.

    I find Bob's to be more emotional, it really works with his music. It's also unique. It doesn't make him sound like "a rambling shizo"..it just gives the song more power.

    Whereas Jakob's is too much like all these other people's..it's also too rough. It grates my nerves a bit.

  36. M.... ....

    make that "anyone to anyone "but it is a favourite past time of many

  37. L.... ....

    i dig this ! nice sound, groovy... this comparing to bob goes on my nerves
    it is nonsense to compare bob with anyone....
    i am getting to like this guy more i research behind most commercial songs !

  38. m.... ....

    what do you guys think he is talking about... that he couldn't stop?

  39. S.... A....

    I really liked that comment!

  40. P.... S....

    it's pretty stupid how there are probably more people giving jakob sympathy for comparisons to his father than there are actually people comparing him to his father. i doubt he needs either such glaring demonstrations of ur charitable understanding or comparison. stop repeating what a hundred comments have said before u. good is good.

  41. s.... ....

    I guess I'm guilty of comparing him...SORRY JAKOB! haha. Being such a huge Bob fan! But I'd never listened to anything by Jakob Dylan, and my counselor said he was good...But anyways! All that babble leads to he's really talented! He's a bit like Bob, as he's folky, but...I can see the difference.
    Amazing :))

  42. P.... O....

    What are you talking about. No he's not. but I like him.

  43. p.... ....

    c'est music est géniale, trop bien et je comprend pas comment des gens ne l'aime pas!!!

  44. M.... P....

    Yup, finally someone who agrees lol. Everyone compares him to his father, which is really unfair.

  45. K.... L....

    His new CD, Seeing Things, is AMAZING! Everyone should get it now!

  46. J.... Z....

    yes,you never disappoint me !
    i love wallflowers!

  47. S.... F....

    who says I don't appreciate Bob?

    I've seem since before you were born proabaly.

  48. P.... ....

    Couldn't say it better myself! We love Jakob for his own music, he is very talented.

  49. S.... F....

    He's not trying to. He's got his own thing going on.

    And he's WAY better looking too!

  50. n.... z....

    yeah i had heard his stuff with the wallflowers and thought it was good, then i heard this album and had to buy. it has great melodies and jakob puts his whole being into these songs. You really can't compare him to his father, they are both great but totally different. I actually like Jakob's voice alot better than Bob's

  51. s.... ....

    cool, talk about big shoes to fill

  52. K.... ....

    he's the son of big Bob :)

  53. s.... ....

    Is he related to THE BOB DYLAN

    s.... ....

    scottilover

  54. K.... ....

    it's a good album ! worth buying
