To see you get touched by this song that was written over 60 years ago shows the power that music can have
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever".
@@misterk4580 That's John Keats
Music is one of the best ways to get people to unite. I am 37 years old I heard this song back when I was 11, it's always been one of my favorite because my dad kind of broke the song down for me Barney style, definitely help me grow even at a young age.
One of America's most treasured poet/singer. He addressed just about every social injustice.
Thank you for this reaction. I'm 76 yrs old and listening to your reaction it was like I was transpoted back to the 16 yr old boy whose social consciousness was awakening to the extreme, witnessing the injustices in this world we were inheriting in the very early sixties. Thank you for this and all your other spot on reactions to the music that helped shape a generation. Peace and love my lovely lady😎
I think he was around 20 years old when he wrote this. A young man with real wisdom.
This song was released during the Civil Rights movement of the ‘60’s & the Viet Nam War, and it struck a chord with the youth of America, motivating many to work for change.✌️❤️🎶
And yesterday an equivalent was released mainly on TikTok by Macklemore called Hinds Hall that has also struck that same type of cord with the youth of today
@@012345family We shall see.
I'm 73 and grew up with this music. We knew it was special then and this proves we were right
Bob Dylan, aka Robert Zimmerman, is as relevant in 2024 as he was in 1963. He is what we call, The Voice Of A Generation. He is over 80 now, but still active and performing. I have had the privilege of seeing him 10 times in concert, and each show was a remarkable event. He has hundreds of songs, most as emotional and memorable as "Blowin' In The Wind".
Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter of all time. I am 70. When I was 9 I bought Freewheelin and I was hooked.
Such a great song, what a message master Bob Dylan is. "How many deaths will it take he knows that too many people have died." War has to end.
Great to see your reaction.
Always had discussions with my parents, about music.
My music was nothing,and theirs (classical music),was the only good music.
I let them listen to this song, and told them,this was a twenty year old guy,who wrote this.
THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE ME! 😂
Had to prove it.
Great music, with a meaning.
Thanks Sarah,this was a joy.
👊👍😁❤️
Sarah. Bob Dylan was awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature. Well deserved.
Starting in 1964, I have over 400 shows under my belt. A fabulous sixty years in my 73 years life..
Fellow Hibbing High School grad. He won a Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016. Loved his music since I was a kid.
Dylan was 20 years old when he wrote and sang this song!! Incredible. Enjoy, but there is 60 years of his Astonishing music to listen to and he is still going!!!
Dylan has been the North Star for dreamers, poets, songwriters and for anyone who needs to be reminded that we are more than what we crave. That we are not alone and we need to keep our hearts and minds open.
He has been showing us the way for 60 years now and still going strong. His first “1 hit was in 2020 with “Murder Most Foul” which reflects on the last 60 years through the lens of the Assassination of President Kennedy. Stunning.
Perhaps best reaction to this version I've seen. Dylan is so young here and this version is so pure. Bob's voice, his rhythm folk acoustic guitar and harmonica. He is a troubadour and you describe well the spirit of the moment.
Great reaction, thanks. He is a very simple but complex artist.
Not simple at all.Mr. Zimmerman thinks and writes far beyond any of us could ever put into words!
Sometimes it's enough to just ask the question. No answer needed, deep down we all know.
Thank you, Sarah, for providing such a fertile landing-place for these songs of meaning, songs of consequence. Bob Dylan was at the vanguard in a time of Renaissance which is resonating still, thanks in part to lights like yourself.
What a beautiful reaction. Brought tears to my eyes!
The wind is still blowing, along with the answers.
This early song made him famous around the world👌 in 1970s this was included in schoolchildren songbook 🤔✌️
A folk music trio, Peter, Paul & Mary, sang this at Martin Luther King's March on Washington D.C. It's worth find this on youtube.
It’s so wonderful to see your emotional response to this beautiful song. It really took me back to how I felt hearing it the first time. Thank you for feeling music so deeply and opening your mind to so many different artists. ❤
Powerful song
You are right. This is so different... Bob Dylan man! No one like him. He goes so deep in the heart of people.
This song is based on the melody from an African-American spiritual, "Ain't No More Auction Block." Bob wrote it in ten minutes at a Greenwich Village cafe. It became an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, covered most famously by Peter, Paul, & Mary, but also embraced, appropriately enough, by the sublime Staple Singers.
Sarah: I'm 74, and your reactions to these classic songs are uplifting and inspiring. Thank you, so much!
Your reaction to this song really shows your own depth of feeling, understanding and humanity, something the World really needs right now.
Everybody cries. I grew up listening to this music/poetry
Dylan toured with one of the most awesome groups ever. The Band and The Weight was voted as one of the top 50 most influential songs of the 20th century. 8 wound to see your reaction to it
He also sang at the March on Washington.....with Martin Luther King.
Huge fucking hug for you.❤
I used to follow you so closely and lately it hasn't popped up in my feed partially because I'm so busy with life and partially because I follow so many different channels. But wow Sarah you are making my allergies act up. Just that was just fantastic. I don't know man it really got to man.
Not only was this song on the radio when I was a little kid I got exposed to it in kindergarten kindergarten, and I guess it always stuck with me. I'm so glad you reacted to this. I can see you removed by it. This was an important message and believe it or not, we actually sing it in church sometimes
He was a young man when he wrote this..imagine that.
I still remember my 9th grade English teacher, Mr. DeVito, bringing the Freewheeling album to class in 1963. Most of my classmates hated it, but after "Talkin World War III Blues" I was hooked, and walked into town to buy the album after school instead of riding the school bus home. (I hitchhiked, which we did a lot in those more carefree times.) This was the same year the Beatles hit America--pretty amazing in retrospect.
Brilliant reaction. So well said. It takes a genius to write simple clear words that capture humanity.
There were some very lovely and meaningful songs in the 1960s. Bob Dylan was one of my favorite...And a British band from the era called Fairport Convention recorded one of the most beautiful songs ever. There wonderful singer Sandy Denny wrote it. I promise you will love it. Absolute poetry. It is 'Wo Knows Where the Time Goes. The best quality shows the cover of the 'hit's LP Classics 19671975- and a photo showing the band with family members? Give it a spin. You'll never forget it.. FAIRPORT CONVENTION - WHO KNOWS WHERE THE TIME GOES.
OK I'm 64 years old and this was the first song I learned to strum on the guitar when I was nine or ten. Even then I knew it was something powerful. Maybe this is a strange jump, but it puts me in mind of a classic Eric Bogle song, Singing The Spirit Home. You can find a live 1994 performance of that one on YT; more country-ish, a bit longer, but you wouldn't be surprised by it because the video includes Bogle's on-stage explanation of what the song is about.
Yes Sarah... this song is so powerful in large part for its simplicity. Mr. Dylan cuts right to the heart of it. You cannot beat the original but check Peter, Paul and Mary for a great cover if you haven't already. Thanks. ❤
this is surely one of your best reaction ever till now, dear Sarah
Thank you for this gorgeous reaction
Thank you for your reaction to this lyrical genius!
Lovely reaction, Bob sure touches the soul!
You will never know how dramatically compelling this specific song was worldwide at the time. To appreciate Dylan’s deep influence you should listen to THIS LAND IS OUR LAND by Pete Seger. We were taught these subtle revelations in elementary school. alongside with standard patriotic lyrics from God Bless America, America the Beautiful, and the Star Spangled Banner.
I love your reactions. Dylan is amazing. If you liked this song, be sure to check out "The Times They are a'Changing," and "Like a Rolling Stone."
You should do Tangled Up in Blue. I think you’ll like it. It’s a little later age wise but worth it. He’s a great storyteller. And a protester back in our day.
Other amazing songs on this album were Masters of War, A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall and Don't Think Twice It's Alright.
One of the greatest songwriters of all time. 😎
PLEASE DO Seals and Crofts. They were big in the 1970s and had HEART. My Mom played their music as a child. It was beautiful.
I enjoy watching your reactions. You’re a good person. 😊
excellent reaction
Great reaction...!
Thanks 🙂
I used to have that LP, same cover etc...great great great
Me as well. The woman on the cover was Suze Rotolo, also a folk singer, and Dylan's gf for a time.
Isn't that beautiful? And great reaction.
It also gives you hope.
" ... before you call him a man" - Black men in the southern States of the US were still often being addressed as "boy" when this song came out .....
Always one American in the crowd that feels the need to mention ethnicity...you don't get tired of that nonsense?
@@christiandengler6689Dylan is a folk singer. He writes about cultural strife. The commenter was referring to a lyric in this folk song.
@carlgemlich1657 "how many roads..." this now addresses black folk???
@@christiandengler6689 "now"?? This song was written in the early 1960s, when the civil rights movement was front and centre in the collective consciousness of young Americans. The notion that this line might have to do with that prominent issue clearly bothers you for some reason. Here's another one: "How many years can some people exist/Before they're allowed to be free" ... hmmm, not trying to upset you, but I wonder who those "people" are?
@hilariousname6826 bothers me??? 😂😂😂 because that is a far reaching interpretation I never heard of?! Did you bump your head of something?
Also check out lay lady lay
❤❤❤
Other great early Dylan songs to check out "The Times They Are A-Changin'" "Tangled up in Blue" "Subterranean Homesick Blues"
There is only one Dylan. You should try "Shelter From the Storm", and "Black Diamond Bay". Also, you'd like CCR's "Wrote a Song For Everyone".
❤
Dylan,...listen,...enjoy,...BUT THINK...
Yes, this IS a masterpiece. Please listen to Peter, Paul & Mary's version. It's beautiful...and different.
Thing is ............probably everybody who heard it ever was touched....................................when i heard this/him first time................ I KNEW i wasn't alone anymore.............
Te amo, Sarah. :)
♥♥♥
Great song! Bob Dylan is a legendary songwriter poet starting in the 60's. So many great songs such as "Don't Think Twice It's Alright", "The Times They Are A-Changin'", "Mr. Tambourine Man", "Shelter From The Storm", "Lay Lady Lay" etc. The 60's group The Byrds covered a lot of his songs. In 1988 Bob Dylan joined the supergroup the "Travelling Wilburys" which included George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison & Tom Petty.

Great writer, great song, if you want to hear another version which I think is the best, Sam Cooke live at the Copa Cabana is worth a listen🎶🎶🎶
"Little" Stevie Wonder did a great version.
Peter Paul and Mary please
HOW COME YOU NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE,??😢👀🔥🙏🦁😄❤️💛💚🌍👀🔥🙏🦁😄
I wasn’t as open minded as I am now to music
@SarahDengler huh? What has that even got to do with you being open minded...even if you wanted to, how'd you have listened to that? Was it on TV? Would you have used the little data you have to find out? Got nothing to do with being open minded or not if you don't have the access in the first place.
Some,
Most people cannot relate to this song.
This is the tragedy.
The tragedy of an artist.
To write words that many will never hear or understand.
xxx
The energy of this band is off the charts🔥 Do yourself a favor and listen to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song. React to it, please 🤘
This song is 50 years old, nothing has changed. How fucked up is that?
Sooo...one really different Dylan song with less social importance but a story you mite like, "Black Diamond Bay"
I am forced to conclude
blowin' in the wind
means
it will never happen
Netanyahu should be forced to listen to this song. "How many deaths....?"
Dylan sang for MLK
He sang this at the March on Washington August 1963 where Dr Martin Luther King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Peter Paul and Mary had the but they play the chords wrong, same ones over and over, Bob does a proper chord cadence 1st line: I-IV-I, I-IV-back to I 2nd line I-IV-I, I-IV-V. 3rd line same as the first. Peter, Paul and Mary kept going the V chord every line....musically boring...redundant
They didn't play the chords 'wrong'; they played them the way they wanted to.
Just goes to show, we haven't learned a God damn thing.
