The duo started performing together in Toronto in 1959. By 1962, they were living in New York City, where they caught the attention of manager Albert Grossman, who managed Peter, Paul and Mary and would soon become Bob Dylan's manager. Grossman secured them a contract with Vanguard Records and they released their first album late in the year.
Four Strong Winds, their second album, featured title song "Four Strong Winds", written by Ian Tyson. "Four Strong Winds" was a major hit in Canada and ensured their stardom. Years later, the song was named as the greatest Canadian song of all time by the CBC-Radio program 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version.
Their third album, Northern Journey, featured the song "Someday Soon", a composition by Ian Tyson that would rival "Four Strong Winds" in its popularity.
Their fourth album, Early Morning Rain, introduced the work of the couple's fellow Canadian songwriter and performer Gordon Lightfoot through the title song and "(That's What You Get) For Lovin' Me".
In 1969, Ian & Sylvia formed the country rock group Great Speckled Bird.
By 1975, Ian & Sylvia had stopped performing together and soon afterwards were divorced.
In 1992, they were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
In 1994, they were both made Members of the Order of Canada.

Ian & Sylvia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
텅 빈 방 안에서 난 네가 떠올라
외로움은 시간이 해결해 주진 않잖아
For got u 너를 잊어버렸다지만
텅 빈 방 안에서 난 네가 떠올라
외로움은 시간이 해결해 주진 않잖아
너랑 있었던 시간이 그리워
돌아가고 싶어 시계를
혹시나 돌아가다면 i can change
I can`t change
시간을 돌려도
너를 바꾸지는 못해
Empty head
텅 빈 내 머릿속엔 네가 채워줘
That's right
Think of me on a rainy day
Is back 내게 돌아와 비가 내릴 때
Please come back
me 근데 넌 떠났고
이제 와 말해 너 없인 안되겠다고
All right I'll leave
on a rainy day
이젠 널 떠나 볼게 넌 그러길 바래
시간이 지나 그때도
몇 년 전이 되었네
너는 잘 지내고
있다는 소식을 들었네
다시 돌아가고 싶어
어린 나를 좋아했던 그때
근데 이미 추억이 되어버렸네
한 발짝이건 두 발짝이던 너에게
다가가 한말을 돌릴 수 있다면
Skip I want to
meet you 내 말은 너에게
Can you give me just one day?
For got u 너를 잊어버렸다지만
텅 빈 방 안에서 난 네가 떠올라
외로움은 시간이 해결해 주진 않잖아
너랑 있었던 시간이 그리워
돌아가고 싶어 시계를
돌렸지 수백 번
혹시나 돌아가다면 i can change
너가 떠난 뒤에 묻은 향기만 남아
가져가 전부다 이제는 필요없어
웃음이 안나 잘 그 후에
잊지 못할거야 그래서 그때를 후회
변한게 없잖아 멀리도 왔네
불편해도 감수해야 할 문제가 늘었네
줄여가고 싶어 우리만에 거리
너는 어디에 난 지금 여기에
I Finally Missing You But Broke
다시 또 기횔주겠니 알아 나도
구차한건 싫어 똑같이 생각해
우리가 만났던 만큼만
더해 사랑을 더도 말고
그 정도면 층분해 돌아갈거야 이젠
그만 울자 우리 바뀔거야 그 Sad
비가 올까 글쎄 세자 같이 둘 셋
걸을까 우리 밤새 아니 웃자 밤새
For got u 너를 잊어버렸다지만
텅 빈 방 안에서 난 네가 떠올라
외로움은 시간이 해결해 주진 않잖아
너랑 있었던 시간이 그리워
돌아가고 싶어 시계를
돌렸지 수백 번
혹시나 돌아가다면 i can change
I can change Change Change
I can change I
can change Change

The sense of urgency is reflected in the phrases "There's too much broke, there's too much hurt, there's too much pain for me to ignore" and "So let's do more, yeah let's do more, oh let's do more, we can all do more." The line "and will things ever change or stay the same" encapsulates the central conflict of the song - a desire for change in the face of uncertainty.

Line by Line Meaning
As I lie awake in bed
In the time of contemplation, I am wondering...
I wonder, is there hope for us
I am questioning if there is any possibility of redemption for us
Are we holy enough
Do we possess the qualities that make us righteous?
Have we lost our way
Do we know what our true path is and have we deviated from it?
And will things ever change
Is there any hope for things getting better?
Or stay the same
Or will things remain stagnant?
I'm gonna fight till it's over
I will persist until my work is done
I'm gonna fight till my feet can't hold my bones
I will keep pushing myself even when it is physically difficult to do so
I'm gonna fight it's over
I will continue to work hard until success is achieved
I'm gonna fight till I reach all of my goals
I will strive until every ambition is fulfilled
Until I reach all of my goals
I will not quit until all of my aspirations are met
There's too much broke
There is a lot of damage and destruction
There's too much hurt
People are in emotional and physical pain
There's too much pain
Pain is too much to bear
For me to ignore, ignore
I cannot turn a blind eye to this
So let's do more
We need to do more than just acknowledge the issues
Yeah let's do more
We should take steps beyond the basic minimum to solve these problems
Oh let's do more
We must put in extra efforts to make a change
We can all do more
Everyone can do their part to contribute to the solution
More
We must push ourselves to do more until we achieve our desired outcomes.
Oh till we reach our goals
We will continue to work hard until we achieve our goals.

Great version. I also love the original version from Phil Ochs. Each one is beautiful, in its own way.

Beautiful. This may be my favorite version of Phil's great song (although it's hard to pick just one!)
Jorge Espinosa
This is a song Dylan would have loved to have written.
