Empire Burlesque es un álbum de Bob Dylan, publicado en 1985 por Columbia. El disco incluye 10 canciones, entre ellas «Tight Connection To My Heart (Has Anybody Seen My Love?)», «Seeing The Real You At Last», «I'll Remember You» y «Clean Cut Kid».
Sobre el álbum
En Empire Burlesque, Bob Dylan se sumerge de lleno en el sonido de la década de 1980, con una producción brillante, sintetizadores y baterías electrónicas. Producido por él mismo, el álbum es un intento de sonar contemporáneo, lo que ha hecho que su sonido envejezca de manera desigual. Debajo de esa producción a menudo criticada, se esconden algunas composiciones de gran calidad. Canciones como "Tight Connection to My Heart" o la épica "Brownsville Girl" (coescrita con Sam Shepard) son puntos álgidos de su producción en esa década.
Aunque el envoltorio sonoro puede resultar chocante para los puristas, las letras de Dylan siguen mostrando su ingenio y su profundidad poética. 'Empire Burlesque' es un álbum polarizador: una colección de canciones excelentes atrapadas en una producción que es un producto inequívoco de su tiempo.

Come baby, find me, come baby, remind me of where I once begun Come baby, show me, show me you know me, tell me you're the one I could be learning, you could be yearning to see behind the closed door But I will always be emotionally yours. Come baby, rock me, come baby, locl me into the shadows of your heart Come baby, teach me, come baby, reach me, let the music start I could be dreaming but I keep believing you're the one I'm living for And I will always be emotionally yours. It's like my whole life never happened When I see you, it's if I never had a thought I know this dream, it might be crazy But it's the only one I got. Okay. Come baby, shake me, come baby, take me, I would be satisfied Come baby, hold me, come baby, help me, my arms are open wide I could be unraveling wherever I'm traveling, even to foreign shores But I will always be emotionally yours. - When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky7:18

Letra
Oh, the gentlemen are talking and the midnight moon is on the riverside They're drinking up and walking and it is time for me to slide I live in another world where life and death are memorized Where the earth is strung with lover's pearls and all I see are dark eyes. A cock is crowing far away and another soldier's deep in prayer Some mother's child has gone astray, she can't find him anywhere But I hear another rum beating for the dead that rise Whom nature's beast fear as they come and all I see are dark eyes. They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes They tell me revenge is sweet, I'm sure it is But I feel nothing for their game, where beauty goes unrecognized All I feel is heat and flame, and all I see are dark eyes. Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise and a drunken man is at the wheel Hunger pays a heavy prize to the falling god of speed and steel Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that flies A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes.
