Watch Bob Dylan Write "If You See Her, Say Hello", as You Listen

Watch Bob Dylan Write “If You See Her, Say Hello”, as You Listen

With the release of Vol. 14 of Bob Dylan’s Bootleg series, Columbia Records released a video of the first take Dylan recorded of his song “If You See Her, Say Hello” with a unique twist. It is an animated version of Dylan’s own handwriting from his original notebooks.

The song unfolds — is written — before our eyes, with additions and words crossed-out, as though we were seeing through Dylan’s eyes, as he wrote in Barry Weinstein’s photo, an unexpected intimacy and insight.
