This is not even a song about the 60's, it's a song about human nature; hell, it's a song about nature itself. Everything is constantly changing, it's a universal truth, every second that passes is part of the momentum driving humanity and everything else forward; forward to what, we don't know. But this one's truly a gift that seems almost divine in its foretelling. "Admit that the waters around you have grown". How can a man barely in his twenties strike a phrase so concise yet poignant? It feels predetermined. I'm moved to tears by how grandiose the message is but how simply it is conveyed.

j' habitais une petite ville entourée de champs, il y avait quelques petites épiceries , mes parents écoutaient de vieilles chansons et pendant un séjour pour jeunes gens " débarque " dans ma vie le " folksong " ; Dylan , Cohen , Baez , une vision de la vie bouleversée , ouverte sur le monde de ce temps. Eh bien , encore maintenant , Bob Dylan m' intimide énormément car c'est lui qui m'a fait passer à l' age adulte , pourquoi lui plus que les autres , je ne sais pas mais j'aime ce qu'il fait et ce qu'il est !
Bob was so ahead of his time! . As we look around today, we see....... .” The Times They are A- Changing “. He is truly do gifted in his sense of timing ! Thank you Bob Dylan, for yet another of my absolute favourite songs! I play this one, more now than ever. 🌟🎶🌟🎼🌟🎵 🌟
Dylan's legacy is very current , most of his lyrics could have been written just yesterday , their meaning doesn't change and many times , like a good wine , it ages just to be better .
Timeless. There is a reason he is a Nobel Laureate. I saw him interviewed years ago. He was asked how did he right all these early classics (he was only 22-24 years old). He said they were easy. Just flowed out him like breathing. Like eating like sleeping. He said he could not write those songs today. He doesn’t know how he did it. Genius doesn’t need an explanation.
Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin' And you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin' Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin' Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled The battle outside ragin' Will soon shake your windows And rattle your walls… Source: LyricFind
Thank you so much for sharing this. This is an incredible performance here. This song has a message that still is relevant today. There is nobody like Bob Dylan. He is in a league of his own. I saw Bob Dylan live 30 years ago. Cheers!
With the world around me moving a million miles an hour. It's nice to stop for a few minutes and enjoy Bob. One of life's greatest companions. Music and a lonely man. God Bless xx
May 25, 2023 - I wished Bob Dylan would re-release this song today - it is always timely - and it makes one take stock of where they are at - this song speaks to me that way. Belated - 1 day late - Happy Birthday wishes to Bob Dylan - B.D. May 24
Thank u for this great pleasure to see my idol sing this song now at 71 boy we were bless be born in the times of the Great Dylan and still going strong so many beautiful times we had life was great even with free thought and protesting ❤❤
Yes indeed. Socialism , Communism, Government control. The new norm😷 freedom of speech gone. I feel sorry for the next generation. They’ll never have what we had.
He has so many faces and so many voices. And all imbued with such talent and belief and beauty and drive and all fascinating. An incredible performance artist
Love it, and thanks for your fantastic work in splicing it together SP! I'm English, and I totally agree with your sentiments about COVID-19, sorry for your loss.
Saw him live in Thomand Park in Limerick in 2010 just up the road from me with my mam and dad. I had discovered him while watching his documentary No Direction Home on TV in 2005 with my dad. I was a kid and mainly into rap music at the time but was blown away by his genius it was the start of my music journey
Such optimism. I heard this on a radio station (German I guess) at midnight on the car radio of a guy with whom I had hitched a lift between Helmstedt and Berlin on the night of German reunification (not quite 30 years after this video was recorded ... and a similar span of time since that car journey to when I am writing this). Such optimism.The times were changing ... and have changed ... but in the way that Mr Zimmerman hoped or that the reunified Germany hoped? Who knows? I wonder how much longer we really have to change things in the way that I suspect most of us would want to see (ie when there are no more 'masters of war' etc). [Sorry to sound so bleak].
Swinging, greetings from Australia ! Great to see this! Mate, you best spell Don't as Dont as that was the original title. Now I don't actually care but there's always some folks out there who are pedantic and fussy.
1of the most important songs ever written. It's good to be alive at the same time as Mr Dylan. He's stamped in the history books, for ever. Thanks, Swinging! 👍 Sorry about your sad loss. All the best for you and your family. Remember SP, Time is the greatest healer
I'll have to look that one up. I cannot imagine the Beach Boys harmonizing to "The Times They Are A-Changin'". They were always just about surfing and sitting on the beach with their bikini-clad girlfriends. Teenage boy fluff.
@@DoubleDogDare54 It's on the "Party" album. It's sung solo by Al Jardine. But it's clear they weren't taking it too seriously. However, you're clearly unfamiliar with The Beach Boys after 1965, if you think they were "always" about the endless summer.
@@trfesok Most of what I remember them for is sand and tans. Liked some of their stuff on "Pet Sounds" but had otherwise aged out Beach Boy/ Jan & Dean pop by that time. If you heard one song about California girls and hot rods, you heard 'em all. Lost my interest in pop and moved on to Classical music and Gregorian Chants.
@@DoubleDogDare54That’s like saying The Beatles only sang about holding hands and chasing girls. The Beach Boys shifted away from those topics with Pet Sounds and Smile
In the late 70s and early 80s there was a songwriter from Berkeley named Will Bluefield, and he wrote songs as good as Dylan and was popular in the Bay Area. Check out his songs on UA-cam, like Salt of the Earth, Ain't it Funny, Pearl Diving Blues, Walking in the Rain, Old Mexico, Visions of Rimbaud, Silver Shield and others. It's worth the effort.
The anthem of change in the 60s and 70's. We need that anthem now to move forward, not back,. Young Americans, step up like your grandparents did and fight for freedom!
Had to make a choice between this and another song to write about for a school thing, we had to say why we thought one was better then the other and my teacher used this video and all I have to say is that I never had liked a school assignment more then this one.
• Another track that is widely misunderstood-most people believe this is in support of the anti-war campaign. Dylan was adamantly opposed to it. This song endorses a much stronger message of inspiration for the Civil Rights Movement, which we know he passionately encouraged. • BOB DYLAN: "I wanted to write a big song, some kind of theme song, with short, concise verses that piled up on each other in a hypnotic way. This is definitely a song with a purpose. I knew exactly what I wanted to say and who I wanted to say it to."
Still as true today as the day it was written. Even more vital today the way it seems the wheels keep trying to fall off our world..and right out front..senators and congressmen. Either Dylan had a crystal ball, or none of the problems ever got fixed. I do so respect the man for trying though..
The times are changing whether we like it or not, but we need to be involved in the change, if we ignore it now, I don't know that we will have another chance?? Amazingly the song is still appropriate for today!! We don't seem to learn anything about the war, climate change, equality and so the list goes on, are we going to continue to ignore these realities or are we going to become involved in the change?
Thanks for uploading the full video and audio of this. Cool to see but, I must say, it’s an unremarkable performance of the song. He rushes through like he’s just trying to get through it to the next one. Maybe because Times was such a big hit at the time and he was getting bored with it? Anyway I’ve heard much better live versions. But of course, mediocre Bob is better than nothing at all. :)
This doesn't feel like a 1965 video, it feels like it was stylised to look like 1965, but it sounds just like 2023, it's crazy how much sound affects perception
I understand your anger, but in France I had to go to the emergency room of the hospital and none of the three doctors and nurses present around me wore no mask, so how do you want people seeing this to wear the mask since most high authorities don't wear it, it's a real scandal ..... yake good care of you and your family too ♥♥♥
The times are Still changing...what a timeless song. It will always be relevant. Genius.
And I cannot imagine a time when this, these words, would not be relevant, as you said, always...
Always Matt

Dylan said some important things.
So young then, too
Wow, I remember this song so well! I used to play it on my acoustic guitar when I was learning to play. I'm 70 years old now.
"don't criticize what you can't understand"- the best part for me
99.9% of writers use ‘don’t’ - can’t is so much more powerful
A young master at work! The ONE and ONLY Bob Dylan! There is no substitute!

Hello
I was also very creative at that age. I wrote poems and songs and painted and drew pictures. I was into photography too.
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
And you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls…

Oct 28th, 2020 this song was in my head... Perfect for these times.
