Some of his songs are relevant, important and engaging. Some are playful, mysterious and endlessly intriguing. Some are just sentimental in a way that sends a chill through your core.
Someho, a song like The Times They Are A-Changin' still feels fresh and urgent even though it was written almost fifty years ago.
"Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'" (Bob Dylan, The Times They Are A-changin', 1963)Of course, the times happen to be changing now too, so maybe that's it. Perhaps they always are.
And then there are the songs that might as well be short stories. The ones that have so much detail, so many words, to keep you coming back again and again. And no matter how many times you do, you still can't figure it out. Take Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts.
And then, my personal favorites. The ones that seem to resound deep within your heart. The ones that feel like you wrote them yourself. And who could describe that feeling better than Dylan himself?
"Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you" (Bob Dylan, Tangled Up In Blue, 1974)Dylan on the unwelcome yet ecstatic feeling of desiring the wrong person:
Dylan's finest songs are both ethereal and incredibly insightful. It doesn't matter if they've been played a million times. I still get the same rush every time I hear Like A Rolling Stone.
If you haven't seen it yet, I strongly recommend the movie I'm Not There from 2007. The performances are amazing and the use of Dylan's music exquisite.
