First heard in a 1931 Broadway show, it became famous through the 1942 film Casablanca.
The words
Whatever else changes, the simple truths of love stay the same.
The singer reflects that whatever else in the world changes, the basic facts of love stay the same, and the old gestures between lovers keep their meaning. The song moves from these general truths to a hope that love will last against everything, ending on a note of quiet confidence. Dylan sings the standard from Casablanca tenderly and unhurriedly, with a light, understated band behind him.
