I have noticed there are a few Bob Dylan fans out there. So this thread is for all of you. You need to list your top 5 favourite Dylan songs of all time. But you are also welcome to add lyrics, quote songs and just generally discuss his music. You can also talk about other similar musicians or any music you happen to like that you think is relevant to the discussion. :emot-talk:

Please note: This is not a thread for debating what music may be listened to or not. If you want to talk about such things, start your own thread. If you think he is evil and want to say so, do it somewhere else. This is for those who like, listen to and enjoy his music or have something positive to add. :33:

My dad is a huge Bob Dylan fan. And so from a young age I have come to know his music. Now lets face it, he is not everyone's cup of tea. And while I personally think his way of singing brings the best out of the songs, he is definitely not going to win awards for the purity of his voice :whistling:. And there have been many who have done a great job of covering his work (Joan Baez, the Byrds, etc)  But he has had a major influence in music. He has a talent for writing incredible lyrics. Even Marlene Dietrich, the great German cabaret singer, sang one of his songs. 

 

So now I need to pick my 5 favourites.  A difficult task. It changes with my mood, so this is a list of the ones I happen to like right now :D 

So in no particular order: :emot-drums:

Every Grain of Sand

Desolation Row

Visions of Johanna

Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands

Tambourine Man 

 

But let me just make it clear. that it doesn't scratch the surface of all the great songs he wrote.

Not even close. Nowhere near close enough. Great start though. Thanks for the thread, bro! 

Here's a good one and a tremendous cover also by The Byrds. An all time favorite. Chimes of Freedom. 

 

  1. Chimes of Freedom

    Far between sundown's finish
    An' midnights broken toll
    We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
    As majestic bells of bolts
    Struck shadows in the sound
    Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
    Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
    Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
    An' for each an' every underdog soldier in the night
    An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

    Even though a cloud's white curtain
    In a far-off corner flashed
    An' the hypnotic splattered mist Was slowly lifting
    Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
    Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
    Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
    For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
    An' for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
    An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

    Starry-eyed an' laughing as I recall when we were caught
    Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
    As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look
    Spellbound an' swallowed 'til the tolling ended
    Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
    For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse
    An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
    An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flash

ok make it top 10. Even that would be hard. so that means I can add 5 more to my own list too:

Chimes of Freedom

It's Alright Ma (I'm only bleeding) 

My Back Pages

Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts

Like a Rolling Stone 

 

Of course you can talk about any song you like, but I would love to see which you consider to be at the very top (no pressure)

Songs ABOUT Dylan:

Stagefright ( The Band )

Diamonds and Rust ( Joan Baez )

 

Well as we march down

As we march down to Finario

Well the captain fell in love

With a lady like a dove

The name that she had was pretty PEGGY-O

 

Some songs can be attributed to Bob's gf' s - Echo Helmstrum, Susie Rotolo, Joan Baez, Sarah Lowndes, even Maria Muldar

"I'd love to dance with you, Maria, but my hands are on fire"

Worst book I ever bought - TARANTULA - but I had to have it cuz Dylan wrote it

Video clips - EAT THE DOCUMENT, sumpn else I can't remember - DON'T LOOK BACK?

An early interview, reporter asks Bob "How many folksingers would you say there are in the United States?"

He said either 136 or 142

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
