[pjharvey]

i’m working on writing songs for a solo album and so far every song is either love songs or about romantic relationships except i have one song i wrote about the time i had a near death experience on the freeway in a snowstorm while listening to bob dylan

#the song playing when the blizzard came on was a hard rain’s a gonna fall which was a very funny coincidence #i was like yeah bob it sure is

[rodeoromeo]

Bob Dylan voice and it’s hard and it’s hard and it’s hard and it’s hard

#a hard rains gonna fall…. #op

The truest measure of a singer is how they sing the word "rain" in "A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall"

Bob Dylan's is the original, and it makes me respect him even though I'm not a huge fan.

Anais Mitchell puts all of her force and beauty into the "hard"s that lead up to it. I respect that. I first became aware of her through her version of Tam Lin, which takes a lot of liberties to make something recognizable yet unique, and I think a similar thing is going on here, just less.

Laura Marling has a lovely voice, but seems to have very little confidence, burying it in production. Her version of the song is nice to listen to, but "nice to listen to" is not what A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall is about.

The way Joan Baez does it gives me shivers. It reminds me why I love Joan Baez so much. It makes me feel things. It makes me want to listen to more Joan Baez.

There’s this high pitched whistling or ringing noise outside somewhere and it’s driving me bonkers

#it almost sounds like some kind of toy malfunctioning or something #or maybe an alarm #but it’s giving me anxiety and I want to destroy it #it’s also storming quite a bit and the rain keeps hitting my window hard #so I’m either gonna be lulled to sleep or it’s gonna take me 3+ hours and 200 hundred turns in bed to fall asleep #no inbetween #birdie chirps

Hey Southern California Drivers.

(sits down) (pats the couch next to me) Come on bud, you're not in trouble, I just need to talk to you for a second.

Dealing with a lot of rain, huh? It's scary! I'm scared too. The roads aren't built for this kind of rain, drainage is terrible, there's going to be flooding. And you're not used to it, and that makes it scarier.

That means you're going slower! No, that's good, that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. Make sure faster drivers can pass you, you're going to add to make people angry if you're going slow in the fast lane, but I think you know that already, you did a good job today with that. You should go as fast as you feel comfortable, and it's good that it's slower than normal, since you're going to be reacting to circumstances that are new.

Now...here's the important thing...*that doesn't mean you should turn your hazard lights on*. I know, you want to be more visible, and you don't want people to ram into you from behind. But if you have your headlights on, your taillights already do a good job of that. Turning on your hazard lights and leaving them on make it harder to see a couple things. Me and other drivers have a harder time knowing that you're breaking, and it's harder to know when you're changing lanes. That makes it *more likely* that I run into you. And neither of us want that.

This is a lot, and I hope you can get off the road and safe soon. It's better to wait out the storm inside.

But please, while you're out there, don't use your hazards all the time while driving in the rain.

#i had to drive theough the grapevine and across los angeles in the worst of the storm #and at one point ever car in front of me across three lanes of traffic had their hazards on #and oh boy do I feel for you #but please don't #its confusing visual information when its on for minutes and minutes and even hours just blinking in front of me #i promise I can see you #i am in fact looking real hard at you #save the hazards for when you are parked on the side of the road or actively seeking to park/exit the road #or quickly to communicate #i love you all stay safe #now I'm home and I'm gonna make some tea and watch the rain fall

AMY! https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/taylor-swift-the-bob-dylan-of-our-age-pmlg5m7hl

You are the third person to send me this link but I finally managed to dodge the paywall to the article in order to make a nuanced statement, and that statement is: Mhh.. idk?

If you have been around for a while you have probably been witness to me arguing why I tend to disagree with statements such as "Taylor Swift is the new Bob Dylan/Bruce Springsteen!" (Spoiler: It is because I personally find a lot of the impulses Bob and Bruce use to create art vastly different to the impulses Taylor uses - Taylor's art is tied to her life and her experiences in a way that many, though not all, of Bruce' and Bob's songs are not) and generally speaking I tend to find most of the comparisons sort of lame because they kind of revolve around the "both of these people are great songwriters who were the voice of a generation!", which is true but doesn't capture what makes these artists special. That said, I do think the article makes some interesting points in regards to how both Bob and Taylor came out of a scene that highly valued authenticity and were punished for breaching out of it, and I also agree that Taylor's influence on the future generations of songwriters likens her to Dylan, as does her tendency for self-mythologization (although her n Bob's public personas are radically different) (+ Bob is much more intertextual in general). I also think both are excellent in transporting you into the scene of a song and making you envision the setting and characters. However, I personally can't simply look past the vast difference in subject matter and style that these artists have. "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" is a great song, as is "The Times They Are A-Changing", but they obviously deal with very different things. And sure, perhaps it is unfair to pidgeon-hole Bob Dylan as a protest singer (a comparison to "Tangled Up In Blue" for example would make much more sense), but it IS a significant part of his oeuvre and part of what made him "the voice of a generation". The same can be said for Taylor, who captures the anxiety of the social media generation incredibly well, but writing songs about brewing revolutions and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation is a lil different than writing songs about how tough it is to preserve your sense of self in times of Instagram & Co. Not that one is per se more deeper or worthwhile than the other, it's just different. (I do wonder why we never see the comparisons between Dylan and certain HipHop artists, who genuinely follow into Protest Song footsteps.)

And, to simply be biased for a second here: I consider Bob a better and more versatile writer than Taylor and because I specifically hold his more Protest Song-adjacent songs close to my heart for how well they manage to capture broad anxieties within society/young people in particular, the comparison will always slightly rub me the wrong way. But as I am not a music journalist writing for a major publication... That's okay.

#like sorry that i don't agree with saying 'the person who wrote you need to calm down is this generation's person who #wrote the times they are a-changing #i also think bob could out-write taylor in a love song battle any day #misogynist moment i guess #but this also is very personal #if anybody starts 'but taylor writing about her experiences as a woman is inherently political!' again........ #yes that absolutely is true but i'd argue 'mad woman' is much more rooted in taylor swift's specific personal narrative than #'a hard rain's a-gonna fall' is in bob's

Bryan Ferry // A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (Bob Dylan cover)

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? What'll you do now, my darling young one?

I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin' Walk to the depths of the deepest black forest Where the people are many and their hands are all empty Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters

Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison Where the executioner's face is always well hidden Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten Where black is the colour and none is the number

And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it Then I'll stand in the ocean until I start sinkin' But I'll know my song well before I start singin'

And it's a hard (Hard), it's a hard (Hard) And it's a hard (Hard), ha-ha-ha-ha-hard (Hard) And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall (Fall)

6, 34

6. Why did you do that?

- For shits, giggles and devotion to The Bit. Observe:

34. Is there a song you know off by heart?

Regular human answer: yes of course, multiple.

Bragging answer: this one.

#ahem. one of those fucking awful black days when nothing is pleasing and everything that happens is an excuse for anger. #an outlet for emotions stockpiled. an arsenal. an armour. these are the days when I hate the world. #hate the rich. hate the happy. hate the complement. the TV watchers the beer drinkers the satisfied ones. #because I know I can be all of those little hateful things and then I hate myself for realising that. #there’s no preventative directive or safe approach for living. we each know our own fate. we know from our youth we will be treated #how we will be received and how we shall end. these things don’t change. you can change your clothes change your hairstyle #your friends cities continents. but each time your old self will always catch up. always it waits in the winds. #(ideas swirl but don’t stick. they appear and then run off like the rain on a windshield.) #I’m gonna stop now but you get the idea. AMAZING criminally underrated song btw. please check it out #thanks for the ask!! #I know a place we can go where you’ll fall in love so hard that you’ll wish you were dead <3
