Dylan expresses this same dynamic in the song’s chorus where he asks us to rest and enjoy the music of the Divine that “no voice can hope to hum.” But all the while, Dylan is singing nonetheless, because this is our calling: to praise, even if we know our words will fall short-because the effort alone is beautiful and even heroic:Īnd rest yourself 'neath the strength of stringsĪs Shabbat draws near, fill your day with praise. In the liturgical song “Adon Olam” which frequently concludes our services, we exult the Holy One while at the same time recognizing that ultimately, God is beyond our human capacity to bless. Indeed, in the verse before the final chorus, a river sings its hymn of praise, like a heavenly harp: This effect is magnified by the music, which is hymn-like in its glorious simplicity. As music critic Michael Gray notes, it offers “a vision of the world, that is, in which nature appears not as a manifestation of God but as containing God in every aspect.” It brims with lyrical images from the natural world, some of which are reminiscent of the biblical psalms. “Lay Down Your Weary Tune” deserves to be better known, because it is one of Dylan’s finest compositions-and that, of course, is a very high bar.

He wrote it in 1963, in the home of his then-partner, Joan Baez. This is one of my favorite Dylan works-a little-known song that Dylan never included on any of his studio albums and only performed in a few live appearances.
