In particular, biographer John Hinchey has suggested in his book Like a Complete Unknown that the singer is praying to his muse for inspiration Hinchey notes that ironically the song itself is evidence the muse has already provided the sought-after inspiration.

Outside of drug speculation, the song has been interpreted as a call to the singer's spirit or muse, or as a search for transcendence. Though he was smoking marijuana at the time the song was written, Dylan was not introduced to LSD until a few months later. While there has been speculation that the song is about drugs, particularly with lines such as 'take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship' and 'the smoke rings of my mind', Dylan has denied the song is about drugs. The final take was selected for the album, which was released on March 22, 1965. However, in the biography Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades, Clinton Heylin relates that the song required six attempts, possibly because of difficulties in working out the playoffs between Dylan's acoustic guitar and Bruce Langhorne's electric lead.

It was long thought that the four songs were each recorded in one long take. More than six months passed before Dylan re-recorded the song, again with Wilson in the producer's chair, during the final Bringing It All Back Home session on January 15, 1965, the same day that 'Gates of Eden,' 'It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding),' and 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' were recorded. Later that month he recorded a publisher demo of the song at Witmark Music. As Elliott was slightly off key, that recording wasn't used.
