I have heard of Bob Dylan before .They say he is a legend.
I have seen him in tshirts of guys in Mumbai. (And Che,Metallica,Madonna,Rock, Skulls,snakes,fire--
you name it, and sure it is in the tshirt of a mumbai guy) .
Today I thought of giving his music a try.
I felt wow! His music is minimalistic and it flows.
When you feel lonely Bob's music wont help you but make it more intense.
You feel happy. Bob's music will file it,remove the bubbly part of it and make it more lucid.
Thats what I felt after hearing Bob
What adds to this, is his lyrics. Infact I feel his lyrics excel his music at times. The lyrics of the song 'blowing in the wind' made me think of the Shelly's poem 'Ozymandias'.
'How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, n how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, n how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before theyre forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, n how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, n how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before its washed to the sea?
Yes, n how many years can some people exist
Before theyre allowed to be free?
Yes, n how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesnt see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.'
