Actually the right name of the song is It's all over now, Baby Blue
and ist written by Bob Dylan, published on his album "Bringing
it all back home" (1965, Columbia Records). Many artist had
covered this song including Van Morrison, Marianne Faithful, Bryan Ferry, Joan Baez, The Byrds
and Falco.
When the song came out in January 1965 it already became a tradition of Bob Dylan to end his albums with a goodbye gesture: A goodbye sign to discarded styles or obsolete political demeanors. Sometimes also to old friends. There are many speculations on the question of which kind of "Baby Blue" Bob Dylan would sing in his song.
Long time they were assuming that he meant his old fellow Paul Clayton. Dylan himself used to mention the Rock and Roll-song "Baby Blue" by Gene Vincent as source of inspiration. But in his typically mystical style he added: "Of course I meant another 'Baby Blue'." Perhaps his old love Joan Baez?
However - the melancholy of the song, its shocking ultimacy, the lingering pain of separation, the laconic chorus with its reconciling melody, all that made Baby Blue a classic.
It's all over now, Bably Blue was Falco's favourite song.
