When I Paint My Masterpiece, by The Band
Is it a Dylan song? Is it a Band song? Is it a Dylan and The Band song? I know it best as a song by The Band, so that’s what it is to me.
I must’ve sung this to my infant children a thousand times or more when I was rocking them to sleep in my arms. If it had worked better, I joked that I could probably play it when they were teenagers and they’d pass out without knowing why.
I love this little song. It felt like a great day for something raw, and triumphant, and appropriately enough getting the recording for the day done before the aforementioned children are asleep in their beds means I can let a little looser and get a little louder.
I’d add an accordion if I could. If I had a harmonica in the right key… huh wait maybe I do. Next time?
