A Dylan original from Empire Burlesque, a soft soul-pop ballad built around backing singers and a smooth mid-1980s production.
The words
A brief encounter with someone has changed the singer for good, and he admits there is no going back.
The singer addresses a woman whose touch has left him altered, and he confesses it plainly, almost with gratitude. There is little story here; the song lingers on a single feeling of being shaken out of one's old self. Its tone is tender and slightly bashful, apologising and thanking at once. The recording leans on a gentle groove, keyboards and female backing vocals, making it one of the most polished, radio-minded sounds Dylan had attempted.
