"... the state of our society as it is today..." Quite right. Me, I have this - word by word - going round and round inside my head now sixty years. And it has been the state of our god blessed society all them years through. Nothing essential has really changed. By the way : To me, it is more a poem than a song, a poem with a guitar behind it, driving you mercyless through this maze of absurdities like a demon with a fiery whip... Truly very heavy stuff. RIP, RAZ !
It continues to amaze me how well you pick up nuances on your first listen. That was a lengthy barrage of words some of us spent months and years figuring out. Nicley done and thank you.
"But even the president of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked" There are so many incredible songs like "I don't believe you" from "Another side of Bob Dylan"!! Does anyone out there agree?
"Thousand temptations flying out the door. If you follow you hit the wall." Well... I picked another rhyme there, but I can't repeat it here...lol. Songs are like poetry... spoken word actually. Interesting song.
As a 55. yo Scottish man, we are separated by ethnicity gender and age, but Bob and this song in particular, demonstrates so clearly how none of that is important. PS - on the same side of the same original record is “Gates of Eden”. These 2 have always existed in my mind as 2 halves of a complete whole.
I remember getting it home when it first came out ~ the cover, everything was so mysterious. Then I heard these songs. It’s good to watch you turning on to them ~ we had to wait always for the next one to drop ~ you don’t … if you want a good laugh listen to Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream from this album.
Its about time u got to this one, girl!:D .....yeah, so much dylan is almost, like, life changing, like reading heavy philosophy or something....bob said about his early hero woodie guthrie “you could listen to this man’s songs and learn how to live...”, the same is def true with bob himself, its just next-level stuff that if it doesn't literally change ur life it def changes ur musical standards, or at least ur lyrical standards for music, and theres just no going back after that....h3ll yeah, great reaction:) ...& about wanting more, i always feel sorry for you youtube reactors because if u find something u really like u cant just put on an album and binge the artist (and all the artists worth their salt are def album writers, not just song writers)...but, if u guys did that, youd have less good material to react to on the channel in the future, so, that sucks....sh#t, when i got into bob in the summer of 1996, i heard his first album, got hooked immediately, and just bought one early album after the next (much more expensive in those days), but by the summer of 1997 i had heard at least the entire first 8 albums that first year, i just delved and binged; u guys cant do that, and its bummer:( ...anyway, again, awesome reaction vid
Another 2 masterpieces he wrote that I think you would really enjoy is "It's a Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," written when he was 21 years old, and "With God on Our Side" written when he was 23 years old. I highly recommend only the official studio versions of these 2 songs, the live versions of these sound garbled and sometime verses are left out. Really enjoy your reactions, I just subscribed.
The human condition changes slowly, far more slowly than human material conditions change. And as rapidly as those changes have occurred, there's still so much more to be done.
You're gonna run out of superlatives with Dylan lol. His music will change your life, no doubt. I can tell by your blink rate that you're listening to every word 👌
I know this song from the movie, 'Easy Rider', but also just from having heard it around before that. It's always intrigued me. There is nobody else like Dylan. The only one is Leonard Cohen.
Great reaction! How about a reaction to one of Dylan's fans and someone who Dylan also admired? That would be the legendary Rory Gallagher. I'd love tohear your thoughts on the 1971 London live version of Rory's song "I Could've Have Had Religion". Dylan liked it so much, he wanted to record it but arrangements between him and Rory didn't get finalized before Rory became seriously ill and passed away in 1995. Thank you!
The word-play and wild imagery just pours out - sometimes it's not much more than nonsense, but it always leads to some phrase or aphorism that you'll never forget; e.g., 'he who is not busy being born is busy dying', 'you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows', etc.
@@searchthewind99 I think it's just the way his mind works: the stuff pours out - and, as with many wordsmiths, did so especially when he was young - and it's kind of hit-and-miss, bits of nonsense mixed with bits of profundity. Sometimes it all holds together; other times, it's pretty scattered.
It will be very helpful if you put up the lyrics of the song in your video... Dylan can only be appreciated if one knows exactly what he is singing, because only then can one know that he is the best singer ever... singing is not about having a pretty voice... it is about conveying emotions and no one does that better than Dylan... no one even comes close to the towering genius of Bob... he is a once in a millennium genous.
Bob was the original rapper. I'll have to send you a copy of his first song lyrics. Tell me where to send it and I will. Thank you Gorgeous. Much Love. 🤔🥴✌️👍
Greatest lyrics of all time.
I am sure you would love A Hard rain's a gonna fall .
You are so right, Dylan is on another level!
Great reaction. His music and poetry changed my life.
Easily my favorite Dylan song, which is a huge statement. Thank you so much for this reaction, I love it and you nailed it!
that's how you win a Nobel prize
"He not busy being born is busy dying".."money doesn't talk, it swears.." agree, great lines, and true.
His guitar playing is hypnotic
Best reaction lovely sister.
My favourite song of all songs.
God bless.
One of the greatest songs ever written,money doesn't talk it swears
"... the state of our society as it is today..."
Quite right. Me, I have this - word by word - going round and round inside my head now sixty years.
And it has been the state of our god blessed society all them years through.

Truly very heavy stuff.
RIP, RAZ !
A fabulous reaction. This song could’ve been written today.
Love the song and your thoughtful response.
This is the single greatest lyrical achievement in popular music in the last 125 years.
Love your videos and the you are so beautiful 👍🏴😄❤️
As Bruce Springsteen said Elvis frees your body Bob Dylan Frees your mind. 😎
Elvis never did anything for me
Bob's a way of life.
Bob Dylan was way ahead of his time nobody was doing anything like what Dylan was doing.
It continues to amaze me how well you pick up nuances on your first listen. That was a lengthy barrage of words some of us spent months and years figuring out. Nicley done and thank you.
She definitely did.
Took me several listens to even pick up on some of them lol there’s just so much in there
Old-Testament Bob at his most exquisitely creative and convoluted.
"But even the president of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked" There are so many incredible songs like "I don't believe you" from "Another side of Bob Dylan"!! Does anyone out there agree?
you will love his harmonica in Just Like a Woman
Once again I suggest "Chimes of Freedom". Keep up the good work!
Words! I love this for matured minds. Beautiful guitar 🎸
"Thousand temptations flying out the door. If you follow you hit the wall." Well... I picked another rhyme there, but I can't repeat it here...lol. Songs are like poetry... spoken word actually. Interesting song.
I'm here with you Beautiful. Let's go! 🤔🤔🤔🥴✌️👍👍😆😆
Great song...Great Reaction!
I love this song. It sounds like spoken word poetry.
Which is why he won the Nobel Prize for Literature
Mr Dylan plying his magic
Growing up in this era, there were such promises dangling in front of us. And yet it is, sixty years later... "it's about today!"
I like this guitar play, he talked about everyday situations in his song.
Money doesnt talk it swears
Great insightful reaction...I'm enjoying your sharing of his mastery!

My theme song for the years I lived on the streets after my dad kicked me out of the house because I refused to be a clone robot of him 💪💪💪💪
Dylan was doing rap in the mid 60s with exquisite poetry that won a Nobel Prize for Literature

To get a feel for his most early days as a naïve country boy first coming to the big city to make a name for himself check out Talkin New York.

I wouldn't say any is nonsense, it's all about the theme of the dark side of America and life in general.
Nonsense? Some of the greatest lyrics ever written. Dylan said he couldn't write something like this now.
Looking back, I see my meaning was a little unclear: I wasn't referring to these lyrics specifically, but to Dylan's lyrical output generally.
@@nozecone A lot of his songs do sound like nonsense.

Great,! Please take a listen to "Gotta serve somebody" it's great!

A good Bob Dylan documentary: ua-cam.com/video/roLitsZ9KZs/v-deo.html
