Dylan Gets The Blues

https://hearthis.at/elvis-nash-xk/ssss-added/0kV/

When he thinks about Lennon 

Being murdered by a Chapman

He wishes all the bad would stop happening 

Times are changing

But maybe not with him 

Greenwich Village ghosts haunt him

Like bad rhythms like bad rhythms 

Ch

Sometimes even Dylan gets the blues

Times moving on, he’s fading from view

He misses those long lost glory days 

Even now he’s trying to find his way 

It’s so hard living in different shoes

Yeah sometimes even Dylan gets the blues

sometimes even Dylan gets the blues

v2

He was happier at seventeen

When he could barely afford a sandwich

Now he stumbles down a hall in his mansion 

He still remembers kids dying in Vietnam 

And why his music didn’t stop it sooner 

But he tried man he really tried man

ch 

Bridge

It’s alright its alright ma I’m only bleeding 

A sad sad ballad is what the crowd is needing

  • very cool lyrics. i can actually hear dylan singing this one, the grittiness in the vocals, really sells this one

  • Real smooth with that edge...love it through an' through. Love your vocals, too; nice production.

    Nice to meet you, @ElvisNash ! Now, South of Memory, she plays . . . 💔

  • Lovely production on this, top quality.

    Nice lyric. Makes me wonder if anyone will understand it in say 30 years. Not that we'll likely be here to see it!

    Good stuff.

  • No doubt he do. Great concept. Great story. Beautiful song.

    Happy holidays everyone

    Thanks for listening

    I think I'd be lucky on a young audience getting the song now , 30 years from now , who knows . They might

  • Very cool song, the tempo, and vocals gave it a very Dylanish feel for me. Love that line about wearing different shoes it kind of illustrates his different stages of life all by itself. Your vocals were right where they needed to be for this peek into the life of Dylan old and new.

    It still needs a final mix and master it . These guys tracked it out

    But will kids even know who Dylan even is ? or Lennon or Viet Nam .

    its stark with little harmony , final mix and master will balance it out

    I believe that if you love music in 50 years, whatever music is in 50 years, guys like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, The Beatles, Chet Atkins, and so many more will be rediscovered, or handed down through the families to be heard and enjoyed for a good long while.

    But kids these days I don't know if they can know anything not on TIK Tok

  • I'll find out on promotion once its mastered and released

    Theres a new movie coming out on Dylan , called the "Unknown " . it took the actor 6 years to prepare for the part

    So this might not be dated , as I suspected

  • I will be very interested to see the movie, even more interested to know how the actor prepared for what must be a complex persona.
