Fallen Angels · 2016

Nevertheless

Written by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby in 1931 and recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1950; the sixth track on Fallen Angels.

The words

Someone admits that falling in love may end badly, but chooses to fall anyway.

The singer knows that this romance could bring heartbreak and that friends would advise caution, yet admits to being hopelessly in love regardless. The song is light and good-humored, more amused than anguished about its own foolishness. It moves at an easy, strolling pace. Dylan's version is relaxed and affectionate, with the band's gentle swing and steel guitar giving it a soft, slightly old-fashioned glow.
