doesn't it seem like the fade on the titanic song is wrong
it should be him starting up more verses and it fades anyway like a cane-reaching-onto-the-stage kind of thing

it's such a weird song, seams like Dylan saw Titanic and liked it enough to paraphrase it in a 14 minute long song?
funny stuff, referring to DiCaprio's character as "Leo" and all:
Leo took his sketchbookHe was often so inclinedHe closed his eyes and paintedThe scenery in his mind

His story in Chronicles of writing "Dignity" was about watching the news about Len Bias's death, so maybe he has a four-track near his TV chair.
Ronnie James Dio had stories about writing his big songs while watching NFL games.

Also, love this album's last track, "Roll On John."

Roll On, John is great

listening to "tempest" (the song) this really is a kooky thing
"Petals fell from flowers'Til all of them were goneIn the long and dreadful hoursThe wizard's curse played on"

it's somewhat similar to lily rosemary and the jack of hearts in its failed attempt at telling an epic tale on an epic scale
