Sobre el álbum
Con Infidels, Bob Dylan se aleja del góspel explícito de sus álbumes anteriores para regresar a temas más seculares, aunque la espiritualidad sigue muy presente. Para este disco, recluta a una banda de estrellas, incluyendo a Mark Knopfler en la guitarra y a Sly & Robbie en la sección rítmica. El sonido es limpio, rítmico y muy profesional, con un toque de reggae y new wave que refleja la producción de los años ochenta.
El álbum contiene algunas de sus mejores canciones de esa década, como la mordaz "Jokerman" o la nostálgica "Sweetheart Like You". La decisión de dejar fuera temas magistrales como "Blind Willie McTell" ha sido objeto de debate durante años. Pese a esa controvertida omisión, 'Infidels' fue visto como un fuerte regreso a la forma y un trabajo mucho más accesible para su audiencia general.

Letra
Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams. I and I In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives. Think I'll go out and go for a walk Not much happening here, nothing ever does Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll just want to talk I got nothing to say, 'specially about whatever it was. I and I In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One say to the other, no man see my face and lives. Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face And see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. I and I In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives. Outside of two men on a train platform there's nothing in sight They're waiting for spring to come, smoking down the trck The world could come to an end tonight, bt that's all right She could still be there sleeping when I get back. I and I In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives. Noontime, and I'm still pushing myself along the road, the darkest part Into the narrow lanes, I can't stumble or stay put Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I'm listening with my heart I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I go barefoot. I and I In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives. - Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight5:54
