Sara (Bob Dylan song) instance of musical work/composition
Background and recording
The song is named after Dylan's wife at the time, and the song alludes to their earlier relationship, including the couple's children together. In his book Down The Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan, Howard Sounes quoted Jacques Levy's account of the recording of the song, stating that Sara was present at the studio and listened "from the other side of the glass" as Dylan played the song. According to Larry Sloman, Dylan turned to Sara just before beginning the song, and stated, "This one's for you."The song contains the line "Staying up for days in the Chelsea hotel / Writing 'Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands' for you," a reference to the Hotel Chelsea, where Dylan had resided in the 1960s. It is also the only instance of Dylan deliberately quoting one of his own song titles in the lyrics of another song.
That first take of the song, recorded on July 31, 1975 in New York City, at Columbia Recording Studios, Studio E., is reportedly the one featured on the album. Bob and Sara reconciled after the recording of the song but would divorce in 1977.
