Im 34 yrs old and known of Dylan my whole life and just now during quarantine have I really listened to him. Bob Dylan is music for the broken man trying to find his way home.
Listend to him since I was a about 10 I'm now 64 I introduced my beloved husband last year and so many Bob Dylan songs and lyrics we've listened to over the years mean so much lots of love to true bob Dylan fans xxx
We had a teacher at Waltoffer Avenue Elementary School (Bellmore, NY) who sang this at just about every student assembly. Very progressive, even for a Republican Congressional district in 1972.
Man you folks used to have time to do anything in class huh. These days it's all about test scores and students get no breathing room for life and culture
I am an 80s child. Listening to songs that came before my time creates a special feeling inside me. It's like a time machine bringing me to a different time, a time my parents grew up in, for a short while.
I had an employee that I had to pick up at work everyday. He is a very humble old man, who worked for me as a heavy equipment operator. His machine seemed to be dancing ballet instead of moving dirt, the best operator I had the grace to work with. Back then, I had a Bob Dylan cd in my car and whenever this song played, he would cry copiously, even without understanding a single word once he is Brazilian. One doesn’t need to understand the lyrics to feel touched by this song. My dear old friend is very ill right now, struggling for his life… Listening to this, has made me reminisce about the good times we’ve spent together, not just as work mates but as genuine friends
I remember back in the late 1960s/early 1970s when I was little... we had "Folk Masses" in the Catholic Church. Some young people with an acoustic guitar or two... Blowin' In The Wind got everyone of every age singing together. It's such a wonderful memory. Thanks Bob
I remember the nuns singing this to us in the cafeteria in elementary school...I think I was in 2nd or 3rd grade...in the early 70s...it's a lovely memory....my little Catholic school was a refuge for a while...Sister Bernadette in 1st grade and Sister Monica in 2nd grade created an atmosphere of love and peace that helped me greatly. Thank you...I hope that your souls are shining with joy.

What do you mean by saying "fals covers"? There are quite a many good covers of this. Actually this is a version too, of his own song, also very good. I, personally, like the recorded album version the best. It is also true that there are not very good "covers" out there too, but mostly those are amateurs expressing their admirations towards Bob's music. I do not believe "fals" is the right word to use to describe most covers. Bob Dylan himself has done many excellent covers of other musicians work before him - many of which made those earlier recordings available to a much wider public now and now for forever. The very meaning of folk music is carrying the torch from the past to the future, making it alive again and again, and adding to it new meanings. There can be some less successful steps, trials in this process - that is true - but that should not discourage anybody from wanting to contribute.
I'll be succinct: "False Covers" is a UA-cam song proclaiming "BOB DYLAN!", but actually it's NOT BOB DYLAN. Or whoever you're looking for. "False Advertising" might be a better descriptor. ProTip: if Comments are disabled, it's never real.
Pretty sure Columbia (or whoever the fuck owns Columbia these days) made it impossible to upload any actual studio versions of his songs. At least any they can't make any revenue from. Imagine how much money Bob made that company.
@xalluex bro: Yes, it is extremely shameful that people Dylan's age when he wrote this are so gullible and low information that they support BLM, which has burned down Black businesses and tries to convince Black folks and other POC that they are eternal victims. It's also shameful that Critical Race Theory is accepted by the Loving Liberals, which is really reverse racism.
It sure is relevant today: One must blow with the wind if one is to survive. A lot of peeps miss the underlying message of the lyrics: This song advises folks to be like the wind in approaching life. In other words, one must be like Captain Louis Renault in the 1942 movie Casablanca: Renault: "I have no conviction, if that's what you mean. I blow with the wind, and the prevailing wind happens to be from Vichy."
@@lemurianchick So what should they read then to inform people of the way racism operates if critical race theory is reverse racism and harmful to promote?
I remember listening to this song in 1965 when I was a little boy, asking my mother what the lyrics meant. Even as a child, the song left quite an impression on me with it's stark simplicity and universal message. "Abraham, Martin, and John" was another such song. When I think of how far popular music has fallen since then, I could cry.
The summer of “63” as a six-year old I would accompany my mother to the fields for harvesting. There the workers, listening to the radio would sing along to Dylan. This is the first song I learned, and the message is still as strong as ever.
If you think music has fallen far from this, you haven’t listened to the right music. BD will always one of the og greats, but there’s plenty of modern singer songwriters who are right there on his level. Only reason you would disagree is because you wouldn’t give it the time of day. ‘Don’t criticize what you can’t understand’ was literally written for people thinking like ^ this. Just another take, Much love and respect, truly!! 🧡
maybe in my generation now only a few people like music like this. I am very happy even though I am only part of those few. thank you Mr. bob dylan, this is very good music with lyrics that make sense
+Buick Le Sabre In those days, a musician didn't get a slot to perform on national television unless they were growing in popularity. I saw Dylan play in 1962 in NYC. This was one of his first songs that I learned to play on guitar in 1963, before Peter, Paul and Mary made it a popular civil rights song.
+Buick Le Sabre You said Dylan wasn't good enough until the Beatles? I'm not sure what you mean. Please clarify. I was around in that era too but very young. I did not discover Dylan until about 10 years later. Within a year of arriving in NYC Dylan was signed to Columbia Records by the legendary John Hammond. There is no doubt the Beatles had an influence on Dylan as Dylan had a HUGE influence on the Beatles. (from the Atlantic) Though The Beatles stayed fairly up to date on popular music in the early 1960s, Bob Dylan wasn't on their radar until the spring of 1964, a full year after The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan established the young songwriter as American folk music's premier voice. Once the band heard that record, during a tour of France, it had an immediate impact on them. "For three weeks in Paris, we didn't stop playing it," Lennon would later say. "We all went potty about Dylan."www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2012/09/bob-dylan-and-john-lennons-weird-one-sided-relationship/262680/
Nufot Dylsn snf The Beatles played for different audiences; Dylan emerging in the U.S. with a record contract in '62, playing for the folk/college crowd. The Beatles had their US contract in very late '63/early '64, playing to mostly teens. You, Sir, are misinformed.
Bob Dylan doesn't sing a song simply. He roars meaningful messages to the world, containing philosophic ones sometimes. So his songs pull my ears and shake my mind.
+Buick Le Sabre Come to think of it, I remember you wrote your comment about 3 months ago. You wrote "Few people know that " Blowing In The Wind " means in fact " Farting in the Wind ". Is that right? I responded to yours. Don't you remember mine? I looked for it. But mine was eliminated. I don't know why it was eliminated. It's really weird.I write my response of that time to yours once again. "That can be. I mean business. Truth is anytime and anywhere. It is limitless. It is really near or around us. It can be found in farting or pissing or shitting or anything. The important thing is that most common people, foolish, try to discover it far away." Now Do you remember it? Period!
+Buck Le Sabre That might happen. My response really might disappear in the wind or fart or shit. Anyway, I wrote my response to your comment whether you didn't even look it. But my answer was not a joke. I was serious about it cos I thought your joke stood to reason. Anything can happen in the world. Infinite Universe, not defined! Truth is anywhere and anytime, not far away. That's the way the ball bounces.
Music is the greatest form of art I've known, and Bob Dylan has written and produced some amazing songs. Over the years he's shared some wonderful music with us, and I'm grateful for that. There should be no doubt, he's one of America's finest songwriters. Thank you Bob
Wow. I totally needed to see this. Bob clearly was in tune with something deeper than what other's saw. Even in the "folk" movement. He subconsciously in some ways prophetized the 60s. Amazing poetic lyrics that changed music in my opinion. ✌️✌️✌️
+Paul Nery i think Bob has not written any book to make a litrature, Rabindranath Tagore wrote many and specifically his Gitanjali made him won it. and i m glad that nobel academy considered Bob.
I am so lucky to have lived during this Troubadour's life, luckier to have seen him live in a small 5000 seat intimate concert in the late 70's in Australia, (1978, Festival HALL, Queensland) ...& ...EVEN luckier to have actually shaken his hand!! ( I was in law enforcement security at the time)...I am truly blessed. *Bob kindly thanked us all for keeping him safe. during the tour. Such a gentile soul. I really wished we had iphones then!! I would have amazing pics...
'I'm x years old and listen to Bob Dylan'.. Great music transcends age. Those who don't appreciate Bob Dylan are either those who have not yet listened, or those that do not wish to hear.
This was my dad's favorite song. So when he took his life in 1982, we found a random person to play this at his funeral. I was a teenager at that time, and I always thought of blowing wind as something positive and still do even with tears in my eyes. The wind is constant and brings renewal. Never give up because what might blow in will be holding the key. Peace along this journey called life.
My grandad used to play the Harmonica and he used to play so well. He passed away three years back and I believe he's watching over us from above, because he was a saint! Rest in peace grandpa, we all love and miss you.
I'm from Bangladesh; currently, students are protesting against the dictatorial government. Already 1200+ deaths and still counting! The whole country has become a massacre. This song feels like someone is talking to my heart.
This song came out at a time of huge soical upheaval in America with the black civil rights movement, race riots and the growing movement against the Vietnam war.
A Masterpiece... It hits as deeply today as it did the first time I heard it as a child. I was about 5 years old and I remember crying when I heard it. My older siblings loved Dylan.. Thank God for them...
paul w Rambling Jack Eliot, Odetta, The Carter family, Lead Belly, Hank Williams, Blind Willie Mctell, Pete Seeger, Robert Johnson, Tommy Johnson. Dylan is coming right out of the roots of true American music. At this point this was his own style, he learned from the greats like all greats do. Changed popular music forever and he combined Rock N Roll and literature to make a whole new style of music never done before. Won a Nobel Prize and didn’t show up to receive it. One of the greatest poets of our time. Brought the poetry of the surrealist into Rock N Roll and folk. He’s still writing songs to this day that have a cultural impact.
Pls don’t associate Dylan with the boring and ignorant people who refuse to listen to modern music because of some false assumption that art has worsened as time has gone on. Dylan is my favourite artist of all time but they are countless great modern artists making music in 2020. You just have to be willing to find them, as is true with any point in history.
Maravilloso, cada día más me encantan las canciones de Bob Dylan, no me canso de escucharlas. También he leído las traducciones, realmente es muy hermosa su poesía. Bobby l love you forever. 💚
How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly Before they're forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? And how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind
Parabéns Dylan, o segundo músico a ganhar o Premio Nobel de Literatura e o primeiro em 103 anos. Rabindranath Tagore recebeu o título em 1913 e compôs mais de 2000 músicas e o hino nacional da Índia.
+Janet_M The composition "Sri Lanka Matha" was written in 1940 by Ananda Samarakone. And it was on November 22, 1951 that this composition was adopted as the country's hymn. Tagore only influenced Ananda Samarokene to create a style of music appropriate for the people of Sri Lanka. (Tagore: composer of the national anthem of India / Samarakone: composer of the national anthem of Sri Lanka). And sorry, I do not write well in English, I'm Brazilian.
Tagore's songs became national anthems in both Bangladesh and India. Bangladesh: www.wikiwand.com/en/Amar_Sonar_Bangla India: www.wikiwand.com/en/Jana_Gana_Mana
Grande bobby .la prima volta che ascoltai questa canzone…( un giovane ragazzo con chitarra.. ( Bob Dylan in versione folk ) bobby mi ha commosso mi penetra nelle ossa e non so le volte che ho ascoltato e ascolto questa canzone! ( e’ come..un inno di pace che invoca e chiede il perché? ) Canzone incredibile indimenticabile senza tempo.. …love ❤️❤️❤️
I was 20 when this came out. I worked in the upper village in Manhattan. I can relate. I was a baby on D-Day and I am lucky to be here writing this. Bob was right-on. AWESOME.
Some of the best music ever created is heavy music, and many of the greatest songs ever include vulgar language. Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Tupac, Nirvana, Behemoth, Frank Zappa, etc.
Lords of Acid did all of that, yet dancing in the rain, under strobe light, to "The Crablouse" during their show at Nautica in Cleveland in 1996 is one of my fondest musical memories.
My late mother was 2 when this was recorded and she loved her some Bob Dylan, I never understood why. She's been dead for 13 years and I'm 41 now and this dude is still rocking. I finally get it mom. Rip moma, I miss you. Rock on Bob you old strange old bastard! ✌😁
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 cannonballs fly Before they’re forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind The answer is blowin’ in the wind How many years can a mountain exist Before it’s washed to the sea? Yes, ’n’ how many years can some people exist Before they’re allowed to be free? Yes, ’n’ how many times can a man turn his head Pretending he just doesn’t see? 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
The lyrics of this song are always alive, now Ukrania. I am from Venezuela and live in Venezuela, and always think about those who still turn their heads to pretend that they do not see and/or do not people cry. My late father used to play this song many many times, especially in every new year celebration. Now that I am 61 I wonder if there is something to celebrate. Great song, it means much much that just words.
My neighbor is from Venezuela. He helps me when I need help. I needed help on the phone when my Spanish is not sufficient. He is a good person. Bendigas a Usted.
I don't know about the voice. But for any other artist, this comment might be a compliment. But for Dylan, this is just discourteous and demeaning to even compare him with the trash that is promoted as music today...he's a nobel prize winner for heaven's sake!! Let's keep a sense of proportion
To Packleswolf1 It's not about his voice. He was a political messenger artist. IE Anti action against communists. Viet Nam was happening. The cold war (USA West standoff Vs Communist Soviets. The Judaeo Marxists had murdered millions. His Jewish grand parents fled from action against Jews during times circa the 1907 Judaeo Marxists revolution which later linked to the total assassination of the Romanov Dynasty (Tsarist Russia). His voice fit's his style? What style? The revolutionary style? Or the antiestablimentarian style? His Marxist style? Have you ever considered that Marxists at their fundermentalist level are theives? Revolutionaries requiring a victim. So is that his style? Later he is involved in the Heroin junky movement. So are heroin users the type of revolutionary leaders you want your children listening to? So people listen to find out what he is about.
People that critique music are dumb assholes , music is subjective it’s not a fucking competition , if you don’t like his voice don’t fucking listen , critics are the ones who have no talent themselves
This remains basically untouchable. There are certain guys who are just without a doubt the best messengers in their genre. Here are a few of them who, in my opinion, are the greatest songwriters with a message that I have ever heard: Bob Dylan (Folk Rock) Bob Marley (Reggae) Tupac Shakur (Rap/Hip Hop) John Lennon (Pop Rock) Marvin Gaye (Doo-Wop) Johnny Cash (Country) Woody Guthrie (Folk) Tupac is my personal favorite.
From one Bobby to another....BRAVO my friend. Consciousnesses have been met with your energy and will until the end of time. Well done...well done indeed. 🌱
known this song for over 10 years and only now find out that the *answer* is blowing in the wind, not the answer is *blowing in the wind* ... big difference.. something light and shallow into something deep
Well, just imagine: Dylan got the Nobel Award.. ! And some people are just wondering why...So they get to know this trashy voice and keep on wondering..
Music is the greatest form of art I've known. It has the ability to cut through the borders on the map, like they never existed. I love that about music.
I was 20 when this came out. I lived in Astoria. I worked in Manhattan, just above the village. I grew up with this music. It brings tears to my ole eyes. The best times but I didn't know it then. Too many people have died... How true, how sad.
@@mr.n7132 The thing is you see this exact comment on most songs older than 40 years, it's like seeing the same add for the 100th time, it gets annoying.
Love Sam Cooke, he and I share the same last name. He had the smoothest male voice in history with the possible exception of Smoky Robinson. Sam was murdered and it was a real American tragedy.
Im 34 yrs old and known of Dylan my whole life and just now during quarantine have I really listened to him. Bob Dylan is music for the broken man trying to find his way home.
Listend to him since I was a about 10 I'm now 64 I introduced my beloved husband last year and so many Bob Dylan songs and lyrics we've listened to over the years mean so much lots of love to true bob Dylan fans xxx
So true it is.live long bob
So very damn truth. Live long sir Zimmerman bob.
this song was actually pretty political in its meaning, it had a lot to do with the civil rights movement
Bob Dylan Zimmerman is the best, only he can do the justice to his songs. Soothing painful but great.
Who ever come to listen this song you all have a great taste in music ..God Bless 🎶🎸
Many, many moons ago, my English teacher in junior high used to get his guitar and sing this song to us every Friday. RIP Mr. Stevenson 😔
We had a teacher at Waltoffer Avenue Elementary School (Bellmore, NY) who sang this at just about every student assembly. Very progressive, even for a Republican Congressional district in 1972.
Man you folks used to have time to do anything in class huh. These days it's all about test scores and students get no breathing room for life and culture

None of that happened.
Também sou brasileiro, não preciso entender ❤❤
That was beautiful
This song brings back memories that never happened.
Helloo! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it!! See you!!! 😊
Naw they happened its encoded in your DNA dreams and all
This this
Wooooww❤
Vietnam, Russia, Israel, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Contras, Border Crisis, China is waiting. You must have been hibernating for 60 years.

I'm from 69 and this song was played in church also using the chords and melody and changing the lyrics...
74 yrs old and i still listen to this song on my 50 yr radio
How many videos a man search by to find the original version of the song
the answer is blowing on this link
Mr Pack what link? 😂
키아라
The URL of this youtube video.
And btw all you have to do is type : "Blowin in the wind dylan" into the search bar of youtube and you get this video

Just type original version... that’s all. Yeah, we need someone would share it,too.
It's the year 2020 and this song still stand as magnificently as it always did.
The best songs can stand the test of time....
Oh jesus its true
...and as true as it always did...
Truth
It hits different
Only 20 years old when he wrote this song.
I was 2 1/2.
the answer is blowing the wind man
Max Power I think He wrote this song because he was 20 years old
You'd think this song was written by a 60 year old black man but was really written by a skinny white kid from Minnesota. Amazing.
Max Power Why is that amazing?
It's the year 2023 and this song still stand as magnificently as it always did.
Genius!! Will we ever get to hear this sort of music with such amazing meaningful lyrics ever again?
FINALLY! A version that's ACTUALLY by the man himself! :) I went through so much false covers while searching for this song.

Music is the greatest form of art I've known, and Bob Dylan has written and produced some amazing songs. Over the years he's shared some wonderful music with us, and I'm grateful for that. There should be no doubt, he's one of America's finest songwriters. Thank you Bob
The greatest of them all.
Great song. I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
Wow. I totally needed to see this. Bob clearly was in tune with something deeper than what other's saw. Even in the "folk" movement. He subconsciously in some ways prophetized the 60s. Amazing poetic lyrics that changed music in my opinion. ✌️✌️✌️
First musician ever to win Nobel Prize in Literature today on Oct 13, 2016
I just read that he is the second. The first one was Rabindranath Tagore, that won in 1913.
But Dylan totally deserves it !!!!
+Paul Nery i think Bob has not written any book to make a litrature, Rabindranath Tagore wrote many and specifically his Gitanjali made him won it.
and i m glad that nobel academy considered Bob.
man,.......
he write more of 30 books
Vijay Yadav He also wrote all of his dozen or so songs. I think he deserves it.
i hope we have a folk revival in america soon, people are gonna get tired of computerized music eventually, your soul can feel these things.
The return of vinyl is a start. ;)
turn back time...

What amazes me is that, this song was written 53 years ago, but it is still modern.
What amazes me is that A Hard Rain was written more than five decades ago and yet is even more relevant today.
How many times shall the biafrans die before the world can hear.
... and relevant!
Thiago Silva This song is & always will be a golden oldie :)
yes, this song still carries a lot of weight. Changed from man to a student and people to students and it is a rally cry for good causes.
I'm listening to this song in 2023 and I love this sound quality. It fits this song.
I am so lucky to have lived during this Troubadour's life, luckier to have seen him live in a small 5000 seat intimate concert in the late 70's in Australia, (1978, Festival HALL, Queensland) ...& ...EVEN luckier to have actually shaken his hand!! ( I was in law enforcement security at the time)...I am truly blessed. *Bob kindly thanked us all for keeping him safe. during the tour. Such a gentile soul. I really wished we had iphones then!! I would have amazing pics...
Man, that's hella of a good story!!! Do you have any other stories like that?

He lived in my city. I wished I had appreciated Bob Dylan more than I did back in 1963. He is one of, if not the most prolific poets of our lifetime.
Hello Arlene, How are you doing?
Hello arlene how are you doing?
'I'm x years old and listen to Bob Dylan'.. Great music transcends age. Those who don't appreciate Bob Dylan are either those who have not yet listened, or those that do not wish to hear.
This was my dad's favorite song. So when he took his life in 1982, we found a random person to play this at his funeral. I was a teenager at that time, and I always thought of blowing wind as something positive and still do even with tears in my eyes. The wind is constant and brings renewal. Never give up because what might blow in will be holding the key. Peace along this journey called life.

My grandad used to play the Harmonica and he used to play so well. He passed away three years back and I believe he's watching over us from above, because he was a saint! Rest in peace grandpa, we all love and miss you.
At the end of 2020, I don’t know how we could have endured these times without this divine, channeled song that brings tears still.
Congratulations! Nobel prize in literature - awesome!
Literature whaaaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa
I'm from Bangladesh; currently, students are protesting against the dictatorial government. Already 1200+ deaths and still counting! The whole country has become a massacre. This song feels like someone is talking to my heart.
1200 deaths? If thats true then its hard to believe I've not heard about it. Looking into it rn.
We did it brother🇧🇩
Theree literally no way I left that comment 6 days ago, I remember this as if it was like 2 months ago
This song got nothing to do with you.
This song came out at a time of huge soical upheaval in America with the black civil rights movement, race riots and the growing movement against the Vietnam war.
A lot of love and respect from România! Happy anniversary, happy birthday, Bob! Stay blessed and in good health! Lily
How many ears must one man have before to hear people cry ?
Very DEEP and MEANINGFUL phrase
A Masterpiece... It hits as deeply today as it did the first time I heard it as a child. I was about 5 years old and I remember crying when I heard it. My older siblings loved Dylan.. Thank God for them...
Great song. I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.

@@Unseen_warfare. I didn't want any reaction. I just described mine.
paul w Rambling Jack Eliot, Odetta, The Carter family, Lead Belly, Hank Williams, Blind Willie Mctell, Pete Seeger, Robert Johnson, Tommy Johnson. Dylan is coming right out of the roots of true American music. At this point this was his own style, he learned from the greats like all greats do. Changed popular music forever and he combined Rock N Roll and literature to make a whole new style of music never done before. Won a Nobel Prize and didn’t show up to receive it. One of the greatest poets of our time. Brought the poetry of the surrealist into Rock N Roll and folk. He’s still writing songs to this day that have a cultural impact.
If we are listening in 2020,than our taste of music is still good.
Or we are slaves to UA-cam recommendations.
Pls don’t associate Dylan with the boring and ignorant people who refuse to listen to modern music because of some false assumption that art has worsened as time has gone on. Dylan is my favourite artist of all time but they are countless great modern artists making music in 2020. You just have to be willing to find them, as is true with any point in history.
You're a man of culture
Helloo! I covered this song in my channel and I really hope you like it!! See you!!! 😊

When listening to Bobs lyrics I sometimes wonder is he truly one of us....Genius at such a young age...Truly a gift from the God
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Thank you!!!

must one man have before he can hear the people cry

Recent tragic events have brought me back here.
same here. This started playing while I was out clearing my head/exercising, and I was just like damnn..
Yeah. I was just reading and doing a little work on my own things. This song entered my head and it made me think of recent events.
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
There were a number of tragic events around the world,so let`s make it a collective rememberance.
hearing how relevant these questions still are really makes me see how far we still need need to go as a race
Even though this song was released so long ago, each time I listen to it, it brings the same feeling as the first time. Truly amazing
I can't make it one minute into this video before I want to shed a tear. Such a beautiful song...
Parabéns Dylan, o segundo músico a ganhar o Premio Nobel de Literatura e o primeiro em 103 anos. Rabindranath Tagore recebeu o título em 1913 e compôs mais de 2000 músicas e o hino nacional da Índia.
Luiz Henrique i didn't know this. thank you for letting us know.
Great information Luiz. Thank you for sharing this.
+Janet_M The composition "Sri Lanka Matha" was written in 1940 by Ananda Samarakone. And it was on November 22, 1951 that this composition was adopted as the country's hymn. Tagore only influenced Ananda Samarokene to create a style of music appropriate for the people of Sri Lanka. (Tagore: composer of the national anthem of India / Samarakone: composer of the national anthem of Sri Lanka). And sorry, I do not write well in English, I'm Brazilian.
Tagore's songs became national anthems in both Bangladesh and India.

Grande bobby .la prima volta che ascoltai questa canzone…( un giovane ragazzo con chitarra.. ( Bob Dylan in versione folk ) bobby mi ha commosso mi penetra nelle ossa e non so le volte che ho ascoltato e ascolto questa canzone! ( e’ come..un inno di pace che invoca e chiede il perché? ) Canzone incredibile indimenticabile senza tempo.. …love ❤️❤️❤️
Fond memories when I (as a 16 year old usher) heard Dylan sing this live at Berkeley Community Theater. Tears of joy.
I was 20 when this came out. I worked in the upper village in Manhattan. I can relate. I was a baby on D-Day and I am lucky to be here writing this. Bob was right-on. AWESOME.
Music touches our heart without vulgar language, without nudity, without heavy music..... Just voice, a voice is enough to win our hearts ❤️
Those should be lyrics brother, I believe you can find the song in that feeling.
Some of the best music ever created is heavy music, and many of the greatest songs ever include vulgar language. Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Tupac, Nirvana, Behemoth, Frank Zappa, etc.
Lords of Acid did all of that, yet dancing in the rain, under strobe light, to "The Crablouse" during their show at Nautica in Cleveland in 1996 is one of my fondest musical memories.

I'm so blessed to have heard this literally from the womb, my parents playing it before I was born. Walking into hope, still not giving up on us!!
One of my all time favorite songs! Bob Dylan is a true inspiration!
that is without a doubt one of the greatest and most well written songs ever
He's just a human, but an extraordinary one. He influenced many many lives. All for the good.
Did you know Sam Cooke was inspired by this song to write 'a change is gonna come'

The lyrics of this song are always alive, now Ukrania. I am from Venezuela and live in Venezuela, and always think about those who still turn their heads to pretend that they do not see and/or do not people cry.
My late father used to play this song many many times, especially in every new year celebration. Now that I am 61 I wonder if there is something to celebrate. Great song, it means much much that just words.

No autotune
No nudity
No vulgarity
Pure voice
Masterpiece lyrics
Yeah mind is blown in the air !!!
I don't know about the voice. But for any other artist, this comment might be a compliment. But for Dylan, this is just discourteous and demeaning to even compare him with the trash that is promoted as music today...he's a nobel prize winner for heaven's sake!! Let's keep a sense of proportion
shut up dork, just enjoy it
For this he got a Novel!
if this is how you judge music you're completely missing the point of it
@@jakem5795 everyone's way of judging may be different but the main point is that i enjoy and vibe with this Song
happy 75th birthday Dylan! may you stay forever young!
why is there so much hate for him. sure he doesn't have the best voice but I like his singing voice it fits his style
To Packleswolf1
It's not about his voice. He was a political messenger artist. IE Anti action against communists. Viet Nam was happening. The cold war (USA West standoff Vs Communist Soviets. The Judaeo Marxists had murdered millions. His Jewish grand parents fled from action against Jews during times circa the 1907 Judaeo Marxists revolution which later linked to the total assassination of the Romanov Dynasty (Tsarist Russia). His voice fit's his style? What style? The revolutionary style? Or the antiestablimentarian style? His Marxist style? Have you ever considered that Marxists at their fundermentalist level are theives? Revolutionaries requiring a victim. So is that his style? Later he is involved in the Heroin junky movement. So are heroin users the type of revolutionary leaders you want your children listening to? So people listen to find out what he is about.
Michael Greenwood woah, I wish I was this smart and knew all this stuff )))))):
what a load of bs
Michael Greenwood, Could you just stick to the music. There's plenty of channels if you want to talk BS there.
People that critique music are dumb assholes , music is subjective it’s not a fucking competition , if you don’t like his voice don’t fucking listen , critics are the ones who have no talent themselves
Sempre admirei esse cantor. Me faz voltar ao passado. Onde eram feitas essas lindas cancoes. Beautiful

This is wonderful music!!!

This remains basically untouchable. There are certain guys who are just without a doubt the best messengers in their genre. Here are a few of them who, in my opinion, are the greatest songwriters with a message that I have ever heard:
Bob Dylan (Folk Rock)
Bob Marley (Reggae)
Tupac Shakur (Rap/Hip Hop)
John Lennon (Pop Rock)
Marvin Gaye (Doo-Wop)
Johnny Cash (Country)
Woody Guthrie (Folk)
Tupac is my personal favorite.
Paul McCartney ( Pop Rock)
He says the song was written in about ten minutes, it's been around for 51 years - and will be for a long time still.
From one Bobby to another....BRAVO my friend. Consciousnesses have been met with your energy and will until the end of time. Well done...well done indeed. 🌱

Those who dislike this song, what are they doing here in the first place?
Well, just imagine: Dylan got the Nobel Award.. ! And some people are just wondering why...So they get to know this trashy voice and keep on wondering..
...and after deeper thought, think, "Ah! The award's not for the voice, but for his words. Then, it is well-deserved." ;-) Congrats, Bob Dylan! :-)
It is the lyrics man, the lyrics. The prize was for literature.
Nothing is free from criticism. Even Bob Dylan.
