Cascada – Everytime We Touch Lyrics 15 years ago
I just heard this song tonight and I was very touched. It hit me as a basis for Annie on my Mind, the way Annie and Liza truly loved each other. I could just sense what Annie and Liza looked like and just the hopeless love they had for each other. Annie on my Mind is one of the most beautiful (if not the most beautiful) touching depictions of lesbian love ever written.

Bob Dylan – Mr. Tambourine Man Lyrics 15 years ago
Give me the omniscient access to the prophetic telepathy of the young children of all of the prophetic happenings all across the universe in all past, present and future prophetic directions, the unfolding and infinite wonders of all of their lives, all the wonder they experience in the unfolding of their innocent pure carefree existence in this universe. Let my very quintessence of dust be consumed in it all and be telepathically consumed in all prophetic omniscience of every happening, all experience of wonder of the children.

If the entire human race had Aspergers Syndrome everything would be perfect for Michael, as he probably had it too.

Bob Dylan – Mr. Tambourine Man Lyrics 15 years ago
Right now in this moment of infinite aesthetic euphoria, Mr. Tambourine man is Quentin Tarantino. is a god at creating iconographic imagery in cinema and adding the infinitely neyond oerfect music to match the cinematic iconic imegary making it quite literally an omnipotent work of godly aestheticomniscientism of an infinitely timeless obscure aesthetic realm. The interrogation scene in Inglourious Basterds, the imegaery and spaghetti western music, it's quite literally a pop work of aesthetic god. Whenever I hear that music I am immeadiately taken into that unearthly aesthetic realm and I see just feel that scene. Henceforth it has occured to me that QT might be the Bob Dylan of cinema.

Simon and Garfunkel – April Come She Will Lyrics 16 years ago
This is one of those pieces of art that is passion but no logic. Logically just a bunch of words scrambled together. But passionately it could mean anything in the world. One of those songs that logically is probably a bunch of nonsense but just sounds stunningly beautiful. And I'm sure Simon wrote it with passion with his deepest soul.

Bob Dylan – Chimes of Freedom Lyrics 16 years ago
Wow! That's one of my favorite songs, but it's really, really hard just to "explain" a Bob Dylan song.

I mean, in general, he's using a narrative of them being caught out in a storm as a metaphor for the idea that the concept of freedom is ringing powerfully through the world. This was written in 1963 or 1964, so it was right in the middle of the civil rights movement and all of that.

It would take a lot of talking to really begin to explain each image, but I'll point out a couple.

"the warriors whose strength is not to fight" this is the passive resistance preached by Martin Luther King, exemplified by Rosa Parks keeping her seat on the bus. You probably read about "civil disobedience" when studying Thoreau. Similar.

"tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts"
This, to me is about all the people in the world who don't have freedom of speech, who need other people to speak for them, and in this lyric, the chimes are speaking for them.

The entire last verse has a special meaning for me. As I sat watching the news on 11 Sep 2001, this lyric came into my mind and it fit, almost prophetically. "... for they hang suspended" is the contrails we see in the sky every day. "spellbound and swallowed..." describes perfectly the feeling every American had when seeing those images for the first time that day. "And for every hung-up person..." we can only hope that they all get the message someday.
