Bob Dylan , and appears on his fifth studio albumBringing It All Back Home , released on 22 March,1965 byColumbia Records . It was also released as a single as the B-side to "Like a Rolling Stone ". It is considered to be one of Dylans most surrealist songs, alongsideIt's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) andMr. Tambourine Man (both of which appear on Bringing It All Back Home). Many believe it to be a continuation from Mr. Tambourine Man and his earlier song,Chimes Of Freedom .
Dylan described the song as a "sacrilegious lullaby in D minor" and a "love song."Clinton Heylin said, "it was a song of vivid experience, constructed in the form of a dream, that came to [Dylan] in 'a house that is not mine." 1991 coveredLuci van Org as Eena the Song for the MovieGo Trabi Go .----
