Bob dylan to fall in love with you

And a few words stick. This process is a thoroughly valid one for writing a song — and this is where I get back to Dylan, because it is a technique he obviously has used on occasion. It is not the only way of composing of course, but it is one, and it can work. Sometimes no, sometimes yes; but that is how it goes with most creative people much of the time. The measure of genius is not that every item produced is a work of sheer brilliance, but that quite a few of them are.

Even the greatest genius has off days. This is a beautiful song, and it is wonderful indeed that we have a copy of the recording.

The lyrics are only partially formed but the chord sequence and the melody is there, and above everything else, Dylan clearly believes in where he is going. If it had ever been finished it would have been considered one of the masterpieces, of that I am certain. And - once again - he was a genius. And he gets an A. And you should like him, 'cos if you don't - you don't know what music is all about.

And I don't make these statements that often. Yet please don't think of me as of a stubborn Dylan deadhead, ready to lick the man's toes any day of the week. The reason I don't prattle too much about Dylan flaws like quite a few reviewers like to do is that these "flaws" are so obvious that discussing them is one of the most banal things to do.

The bad sides are obvious. I might just have to add that it's easy to cope with these sides once you stop thinking about Dylan's singing and songwriting in the conventional terms of singing and songwriting: frankly speaking, his creativity transcends all conventions.

Sure, his voice is gruff and wheezy: but wasn't he the first rock'n'roller to prove to the world that you could get away with singing without having to sound like Elvis Presley or Frankie Avalon? His singing style has served as the primary inspiration for hundreds of performers, including such outstanding acts as Lou Reed and Jimi Hendrix.

It's just not what you're going to expect. Unfortunately, people seem to be divided in two major groups here: those that "get" his singing and those that don't - or, to put it more politely, his singing "gets" to group A and doesn't "get" to group B.

The first group which includes your humble servant thinks he's a great singer, highly emotional and in a class of his own, using his vocal cords as a peculiar musical instrument all the time.

The second group either thinks he's talentless or, at the very best, that his songs always sounded better when sung by other performers. And practically nothing can change the opinions of either, and I do mean nothing - I've held numerous battles defending poor Mr Zimmerman from those who say they'd better go listen to their toilet flushing than put on a Dylan record.

I guess this has something to do with your genes after all. Nevertheless, it is always better to 'get' something than 'not to get' it this is my primary belief about art: always try to like it , so I say that if you don't 'get' Dylan there must be something wrong with your genes.

Now feel free to flame me. It is not entirely true as well that Dylan's primary strength lies in his lyrics. Sure, he was one of rock's greatest poets, and certainly the main force behind the 'lyrical revolution' that took place somewhere in the mid-Sixties, when people finally started listening to songs like 'Mr Tambourine Man' and getting away from the permanent 'girls-and-cars' thematics.

And he's indeed a great poet. He started off as a funny, rambunctious, smarter-than-thou folk singer, then plunged into full-bodied psychedelia and afterwards just kept flooding every possible basement with one layer of unexpected, unpredictable imagery after another.

Again, some people complain about the utter nonsense and incomprehensibility of his lyrics, but somehow people often forget that lyrics are not prose: you do not go around 'understanding' lyrics like you 'understand' prose.

Much more often than not, Dylan's lyrics just convey a mood, a general feeling, maybe a vague idea, and an endless stream of entertaining, intriguing, and sometimes downright hilarious wordgames. And then they go on complaining about lines like 'give me some milk or else go home' and say 'THAT's protest? Man, you're whacky! Satan crossed the fields of the earth and reported his findings to God Job Here however, it is as if Jesus speaks through his mouth of Dylan.

He immediately takes us in our mind to what will happen on the Latter Day. He Jesus comes with the clouds of heaven. And everyone will see him—even those who pierced him.

And from The Beatles came Born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota, in , Dylan had a voice that sounded old when he was 20; now it sounds positively decrepit. But then no one has followed quite the same, zig-zagging musical path; from folk-protest to rock visionary, to born-again bible thumper, to worryingly lost-soul, to truly reborn songsmith of jaw-dropping dexterity as, now in his late 70s, he considers the onset of his own mortality — a subject no rock artist has yet tackled head-on the way Dylan has on the albums he's made since the turn of the century. Here, we round up the albums which have defined his career.
