"Beyond Here Lies Nothin'" opens Together Through Life, Bob Dylan's 2009 album, and he wrote it with Robert Hunter, the Grateful Dead's lyricist. Even the title is borrowed, lifted from the ancient Roman poet Ovid. Dylan produced it himself under Jack Frost, the alias he has used for much of his 21st-century work, with David Bianco recording and mixing and Bil Lane and Rich Tosi assisting on the recording.
In March 2009 Dylan's website gave it away free for two days, and on April 21 Amazon premiered a photo montage built around it. Since 2010 it has turned up on each reissue of The Essential Bob Dylan.
