One of Bob Dylan's more intriguing songs, in treble time, whacked out on a tinny but strangely haunting piano, not commercially released at the time, was "I'll Keep it with Mine".
The un-commercially released version, informally recorded in the basement of Big Pink, seems not to have made it onto the internet. Yet here is a creditable cover, in the affectless yet somehow affecting delivery of the German singer Nico:

Her Thorazine voice is here buoyed by unusually crisp orchestral accompaniment.
The lyrics don't really make sense; but such is the seduction of the delivery (warm in Dylan's case, hypnotic-robotic in Nico's) that you are lulled or lured into a state of mind in which they seem to.

Dylan "demo tape" -- without the slow magical piano ...

Dylan indeed but -- a lousy version -- still looking for the good one:

Another "demo" -- much better despite murky acoustics; still searching for the magical piano:
