Dylan Covers: I'll Remember You (Grayson Hughes)

In honor of Bob Dylan's birthday this week, I'm sharing some of his songs performed by other singers. "I'll Remember You" is from Dylan's 1985 album, Empire Burlesque. Grayson Hughes' version of the song was used on the soundtrack for Fried Green Tomatoes. The song very effectively underscored the emotional impact of that film as the credits began to role at the end.

Here's another strong Bob Dylan contribution that first appeared on Empire Burlesque (1985). Here the O'Jays offer an excellent R & B version of the song.

Trust Yourself: A Message from Bob Dylan

Trust Yourself
By Bob Dylan
(From the album, Empire Burlesque)

Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to do the things that only you know best
Trust yourself
Trust yourself to do what's right and not be second-guessed
Don't trust me to show you beauty
When beauty may only turn to rust
If you need somebody you can trust, trust yourself.

Trust yourself
Trust yourself to know the way that will prove true in the end
Trust yourself
Trust yourself to find the path where there is no if and when
Don't trust me to show you the truth
When the truth may only be ashes and dust
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.

Well, you're on your own, you always were
In a land of wolves and thieves
Don't put your hope in ungodly man
Or be a slave to what somebody else believes.

Trust yourself
And you won't be disappointed when vain people let you down
Trust yourself
And look not for answers where no answers can be found
Don't trust me to show you love
When my love may be only lust
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.

You, you got to trust yourself ....
