Hip Hop relies a lot on words or its power. Dylan is perhaps the most powerful lyricist of our lifetimes. Tangled up in Blue next.
This was a rallying call to many of that era. It let us know that others were seeing things we saw and couldn't ignore nor follow blindly. I think the message is as relevant today as then. I last saw Dylan in 2008, his song "Ain't Talkin" blew me away, his voice is deeper but his poetic prowess is as sharp as ever. I think you may be poet yourself, your analysis is great.
"Bob Dylan - It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) with Lyrics" should be on your list of Dylan songs. This song depicts a more cynical side of Dylan, it expresses his anger at what he sees as the hypocrisy, that commercialism brought about, and how consumerism has turned out to be a war like mentality inherent in contemporary American culture. This is why Bob Dylan is one of my favorite artists' He's fearless and brilliant with his prose setting fire to the idea's social hierarchy. Such magical stuff, even to this day.
Do "masters of war" or "a hard Rain's gonna fall" from free wheeling Bob Dylan . You want lyrics , these 2 are master pieces way ahead of their time .
Not folk music, nor rock-n-roll, would ever be the same again.
Looks like you completely missed the biblical references. Dylan did not. He brought them to our attention. Years later, you missed 'em.
"It's Alright, Ma" Dylan
Relevant today? I think so " Come Senators Congressmen heed the call. don't stand in the hallway & back up the halls". Don't encourage riots with 'alphabet' plants and demonize half the votes that were cast.
I love this reaction and, given that, would like to make these recommendations to you. "Chimes of Freedom" and "Masters of War" are 2 other thematically-chewy, early-Dylan songs with lyrics a rapper would envy, and a later (1974) song with
I am 76. I have been listening to him since he first started. His brilliance as a song writer is unmatched. Nobody in the history of music has produced the quality and quantity that Dylan has.
💙”So direct yet at the same time so profound” - perfect characterization! 💙
"It's Alright, Ma" is an incredible Dylan piece with very profound lyrics..
Still waiting for ‘It’s Alright Ma (I’m only bleeding)’! 🤯🤯🤯
He stood in the Zeitgeist and named it for us. I love Bob. Thank you 😊
Not a huge Dylan fan, but this... this is just timeless, and it fits Dylan's voice perfectly. Incredibly iconic; the lyrics really capture a the feel of the era.
The rhymes, meter and wordplay are just brilliant. All in service of meaning. True genius.
Dylan live at Newport in 64, the song “Mr Tamborine Man” a year before he went electric there. You can virtually see the world change as he sings. There is a good video of that performance on TH-cam.
I grew up on Dylan, and I’m a big fan. I think you nailed it all so well, thank you. The verse that always get me begins with, “Senators, Congressmen, please heed the call.” That one is, sadly, always current. Oh, they all are, what do I know? He’s freaking brilliant.
Love listening to you young guys thinkin' on Dylan .. makes me smile .
I enjoy all your reactions but especially of Bob Dylan. Please do more of him. You remind me of how brilliant and impactful his songs are. Thank you for your unique perspective. At some point please react to Its All Over Now, Baby Blue, a personal favorite.
