The song I heard as I walked to my train this morning.
Buskers often catch me by surprise, to be walking thinking or concentrating on where your going and suddenly there is music, lyrics that catch you by surprise.
Bob Dylan doesn't need huge backing, a guitar and a space to be heard.
How many roads must a man walk down,
before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove fly,
before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must a cannon ball fly,
before they're forever banned?
I don't think I have ever heard Bob's songs being played without being struck by the words, some songs it's the melody but Bob Dylan's songs are always the words for me, they speak to the heart, they make you ask questions.
Questions that I think our world is still along way from finding the answers to.
