Emma Swift (2020)
In honor of Bob Dylan’s 1966 song One of Us Must Know, released 56 years ago today, I present to you Emma Swift’s beautiful rendition of the song. Enjoy.

“Her high, clear voice highlights each syllable, letting you hear the words form, one seemingly following inevitably from the other, until they feel handed down, fragments of old songs now speaking to each other.”
Greil Marcus, LA Review of Books
One of Us Must Know is an emotional confession of mis-connects and apologies from Bob Dylan to a young woman he regrets having mistreated.
Emma Swift is an Australian singer-songwriter. Before becoming a musician, she was a radio broadcaster, hosting Americana music show In the Pines on FBi Radio and Revelator on Double J at Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Sydney, Australia.

Well, I’m glad I was the one to share it with you.
I’ve never heard this song before that I remember. It’s really lovely. And I absolutely love the video. It’s so vintage and artistic.
I think I may have seen one of them
It’s a pretty video. Reminds me of the videos The Rolling Stones did for one of their albums I can’t remember which one. The music is decent also.
