Well, there are award shows for "those that weren't considered" not in so many words, but even this site is about those that were not considered.
Of course it won best song, because it beat out other songs lol. I get that much. but WHY did it beat out other songs, was it magic, or was there reasoning and a system behind picking this gem?
One of my favorite Bob Dylan songs is Ballad in Plain D. There would be no way in hell it would ever be nominated for a grammy, the song is 8 miinutes long, the same melody throughout the whole thing, basicly one giant verse. But it's one of my favorite songs of his, and i couldnt even tell you why, it just brings me in.
Back to point, in my opinion, Ballad in Plain D is better than Blowin in the wind. Many may not agree, but that right there is what im talking about.
i KNOW it won because it won. lol. What i dont know is WHY it won. Was it a bunch of people saying I like this song best, or was there a criteria to it. Based on...oh i dont know crazy things like structure, and story telling ability, great lines within the song, outstanding melody, great vocals, great arrangement, which btw, are ALL subjective.
If your answer is it beat out other songs, you are 100% correct.
But thats not really what i questioned. It's all good, lets not fight, im too good lookin to get a black eye!
