‘Congratulations’ is the sixth song on Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 .

I think the tune on that one was, you know, we worked out the tune straight off, together, but Bob basically had the idea for that. The difference was the rest of us had more time, but Bob had to go on the road. We knew he couldn’t come over and do any more vocals so we had to get his vocals immediately.

The Traveling Wilburys were a British-American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Originating from an idea discussed by Harrison and Lynne during the sessions for Harrison's 1987 album Cloud Nine, the band formed in April 1988 after the five members united to record a bonus track for Harrison's next European single. When this collaboration, "Handle with Care", was deemed too good for such a limited release, the group agreed to record a full album, titled Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1. Following Orbison's death in December 1988, the Wilburys continued as a quartet and released a second album, titled Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3, in 1990. The project's work received much anticipation given the diverse nature of … more »

Meaning of Congratulations lyrics by Traveling Wilburys

The song "Congratulations" by Traveling Wilburys explores the aftermath of a romantic relationship that has ended. The lyrics express a sense of resignation and reflection on the part of the narrator, who is addressing their former lover.

In the first verse, the narrator looks out of their window and sees a bluebird singing, symbolizing happiness and freedom. However, they feel a sense of loneliness because their former partner is no longer with them. This image highlights the emptiness and longing they feel in the absence of their loved one.

The chorus in the song emphasizes the ironic tone of the lyrics. The narrator sarcastically congratulates their ex-partner for breaking their heart and tearing their life apart. It shows bitter resentment towards the person who left them, highlighting the emotional pain they have experienced.

In the second verse, the narrator realizes the depth of their love for their ex-partner, and the emptiness they now feel without them. They express a longing for a second chance to win back their love, acknowledging that they would approach the relationship differently if given the opportunity. However, they also acknowledge the futility of pretending things could be different now.

The third chorus further emphasizes the bitterness and resentment the narrator feels. They sarcastically congratulate their ex-partner for making them wait and coming out on top in the end. This reflects a sense of powerlessness and frustration on the part of the narrator, as they see their former lover as someone who never knew when to stop, perhaps referring to a pattern of destructive behavior in the relationship.

Ultimately, the song "Congratulations" by Traveling Wilburys conveys a mix of emotions: bitterness, longing, resignation, and a touch of sarcasm. It explores the aftermath of a failed relationship and the emotional toll it has taken on the narrator.

Your a jackass, mostlikelyme. I could sit here and flame you, but in the end, when you stand before Bob Dylan at the pearly gates, he will strike down upon you with great vengence and furious anger!

For the love of God, You ought to take pity on yourself.

This song is pretty obvious. Discovered he loved someone that he had taken for granted.

I really like the sound and flow of this song. It just grabs me.

I think bob dylan is singing about tom petty in this song.

"At night I lay alone in my bed With an image of you goin' around in my head"

it is very easy to imagine bob dylan, cig hanging out of his shriveled agape mouth, laying in bed sobbing slightly, listening to "american girl" and jerking off furiously late at night, every night.

"Congratulations you came out on top Congratulations you never did know when to stop"

clearly tihs is about tom petty fucking bob dylan up the ass for hours on end, leaving bob dylan's anus a bloody flowing mess.

congratulations, for fucking my ass congratulations for having gay sex congratulations tom petty is a homo congartulations i jizzed in my own mouth, oh no!
