It's partly the way he sings it & partly the rhyming of "U-tah" & "Me-pa", where the implicit "You" is followed by the tongue-flicked "tah" as opposed to the soft "pa" preceded by the low hum of "me" briefly ascendent. Best song on that album, in my opinion, and unusual in his work in its highlighting of that slowed down central use of pathetic fallacy (or call it projection & condensation) in that falling "sleet", mj Peter Ciccariello wrote: > I remeber thinking back then that only Dylan could rhyme > "me Pa" with Utah > and get away with it! > > -Peter Ciccariello > -- Lorsque le ciel s'obscurcissait, ta victoire toujours, lampe des signes!
