Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter whose lyrics are noted for their intensity and interest in political and social causes. He also included his personal philosophical and literary influences in his writing, setting him apart from many of his contemporaries. Often, his songwriting is regarded as his crowning achievement.
‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,’ by Bob Dylan, is a song that explores his feelings about his girlfriend at the time moving abroad.
It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don’t matter, anyhow
An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don’t know by now
What’s actually blowin’ in the wind? What’s already there yet deliberately ignored? The answer, my friend, is there in the memorable lyrics of Bob Dylan’s best-loved song ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’.
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?
Dylan’s ‘All Along the Watchtower’ explores societal conflict through a joker and thief’s dialogue, hinting at imminent upheaval.
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too
Bob Dylan’s ‘John Brown’ critiques war’s glorification through a soldier’s story, revealing the harsh realities versus heroic narratives.
John Brown went off to war to fight on a foreign shore
His mama sure was proud of him!
He stood straight and tall in his uniform and all
His mama’s face broke out all in a grin
