From: GUEST,ifor I definitely remember that Pete Bellamy sang a Dylan song at the Neath Folk Club....and i am pretty sure it was a lesser Known song [for 1976] and one which went back to the earlier years of Dylan's singing career.

06 Aug 11 - 07:37 PM (#3202974) Subject: ADD: Death Is Not the End (Bob Dylan) From: Joe Offer I just came across a wonderful recording of this song by Cockersdale, and I heard another recording by Peter Bellamy the other day. It's on the 1988 Dylan album, Down in the Groove - you can find the Dylan recording on YouTube. Click here for a YouTube recording of the song by Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue, Shane MacGowan, Blixa Bargeld, and Mick Harvey. DEATH IS NOT THE END (Bob Dylan) When you're sad and when you're lonely And you haven't got a friend Just remember that death is not the end And all that you've held sacred Falls down and does not mend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end When you're standing at the crossroads That you cannot comprehend Just remember that death is not the end And all your dreams have vanished And you don't know what's up the bend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end When the storm clouds gather 'round you And heavy rains descend Just remember that death is not the end And there's no one there to comfort you With a helpin' hand to lend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end Oh, the tree of life is growing Where the spirit never dies And the bright light of salvation shines In dark and empty skies When the cities are on fire With the burning flesh of men Just remember that death is not the end And you search in vain to find Just one law-abiding citizen Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end Copyright © 1988 by Special Rider Music |

See if I can find the Peter Bellamy version, I have the Cockersdale version, it on "Wide open Skies". I wonder if Peter and Keith ever sung this together as they were great friends, does any one know? |

31 Jan 12 - 05:34 AM (#3299549) Subject: RE: Pete Bellamy sang Dylan: Death Is Not the End From: Dennis the Elder Managed to find Peters version on Mr Bellamy, Mr Kipling & The Tradition, had it all the time!!. I am amazed sometimes how much good material we are surrounded by and without a trigger don,t listen to or appreciate it. I will now try to complete the set by finding and listening to Bob Dylan's original. |

08 May 13 - 03:52 PM (#3513129) Subject: Death is not the end (Dylan / Bellamy) From: Phil Edwards Just been listening to Peter Bellamy's wonderful version of "Death is not the end" and trying to work out what he's playing. According to dylanchords.info, the entire song's on three chords; the accompaniment of the verses consists of alternate lines on F and C, while the refrains have a few Bbs chucked in. (The chords are actually A, D and E, but it works better for me transposed ot F.) After playing around with it for a while I've worked out an accompaniment with a bit more variation, breaking up what would otherwise be one long F with passing chords (Bb and G minor). But what Bellamy was playing was much livelier. I can't work out if it's just those three or four chords (in different orders), a wider range of chords or a melody line cunningly disguised as a chordal accompaniment (I/V chords?). Could someone have a listen and see what they think? Anglo players' opinions would be particularly welcome, for obvious reasons. |

08 May 13 - 06:04 PM (#3513181) Subject: RE: Death is not the end (Dylan / Bellamy) From: Phil Edwards Thanks for that, Dick. Yes, Joy of Living is a lovely song. For now, though, I'm trying to work out the chords Bellamy played in his accompaniment to Death Is Not The End. Any thoughts? |

08 May 13 - 08:20 PM (#3513208) Subject: RE: Chords: Death Is Not the End (Dylan / Bellamy) From: Joe Offer I combined the two threads on this song to keep all our information together. I think what's interesting about this song is that Dylan put it in the form of an American gospel song, and I think he did a very good job of it - within those confines. It's fun and easy to sing, and it's very easy to harmonize with a song like this. -Joe- |

09 May 13 - 05:28 AM (#3513281) Subject: RE: Chords: Death Is Not the End (Dylan / Bellamy) From: The Sandman Iwould guess its in c or g or related minors, peter had a drone button on his concertina, and generally played up and down the rows, when i get more time i will try and work it out for you. dave webber has peters old concertina |

09 May 13 - 05:31 AM (#3513282) Subject: RE: Chords: Death Is Not the End (Dylan / Bellamy) From: Phil Edwards Joe - fair enough. Novice box-squeezer still seeks enlightenment on the whole chording thing. I mean, according to the 'chords' sites the first two lines should go like this (if you're playing it in F): F When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend C F Just remember that death is not the end As I said in the OP, I've stuck in a few passing chords... F Gmin F C F Gmin F When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend C F C F Just remember that death is not the end but it still doesn't sound anything like Bellamy's version. What's he actually doing? |

09 May 13 - 06:01 AM (#3513297) Subject: RE: Chords: Death Is Not the End (Dylan / Bellamy) From: The Sandman on a brief listen he is playing melody, as regards chords or dyads he is possibly playing two notes together,button immediately below, an over simplification, sounds like hes straight up and down the rows. pm m the g m he knew peter and plays anglo, in fact he has one of peters anglos. at a guessand after avery quick listen he is playing melody using thirds fourths and fifths, in two note dyads including the melody, and occasional full three note chords, as if he was playing harmonica with notes either side of the melody |

09 May 13 - 06:03 AM (#3513299) Subject: RE: Chords: Death Is Not the End (Dylan / Bellamy) From: The Sandman the other alternative is to slow the whole thing down and go through it note by note, also have alookat the anglo finger board. |

09 May 13 - 06:12 AM (#3513305) Subject: RE: Chords: Death Is Not the End (Dylan / Bellamy) From: The Sandman if you are playing an english you will have to work out his notes, and change bellows in the same place an anglo would, to copy the rhythym sound., if you want an exact representation |
