| Bob Dylan – It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) Lyrics | 10 years ago |

Hey, go easy R-L, This great song came to me first thru watching 'Easy Rider' in '69. (I'm only 59 y.o. you see), and I reckon The Byrds gave it plenty of "Edge" there. Their instrumentation was spot on for one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time, so I'm sorry, I'll have to give you the thumbs down on this one. ps. I even have a soft spot for the Peter Paul and Mary covers: but I was barely out of my play doh years when my father played those. He didn't 'get' the Dylan 'edge' back then, but he taught the anti-war poets with a passion at his school. Some of those were pretty edgy. Some less so. All have their place- and their uses. |

Hey Mate, I read you- don't be so self deprecating- You gave it a really good shot. You put in some time and effort. Dylan is cryptic, not sure even His Bobness would care to forensically analyse his own lyrics for precise unambiguous meaning. Suspect a little stream of consciousness at play here, as with much rich verbally economical poetry. You say you are only 25 years of age? How old was Bob when he wrote this? I recently heard him say that he is unable to write stuff of this power these days. Youth Power - know what you've got- before its gone. Cheers M.A. Keep writing! |
