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

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

Bridge
It’s alright ma I’m only bleeding
A sad sad ballad is what the crowd is needing

This is a great title that peaks instant interest, especially with the baby boomers and Dylanites.

I like the song and your raspy vocals and attitude which fits the vibe very well. I couldn't help thinking it "may" be better from a lyrical perspective being a ballad to have your 2nd vs be your 1st verse.........it reflects an earlier time and Dylan himself immediately - whereas bringing "Lennon" into the opening line feels more additional story than opening story. When that chorus hits, would like to hear a more dynamic drum track and maybe a longer interlude to launch the bridge better and give it more digressive & individual identity.

Very cool song!

Now its mastered , Lets see if kids get Dylan, Lennon and Viet Nam

Thanks

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

This is very interesting, musta missed it before.

It's all about poking curiosity.

It's interesting cause it makes the listener think the singer knows him.

I'm not sure if Dylan is the perfect example of somebody who doesn't get the blues.

Not sure he's the picture of happiness, most of his stuff was on the downer side.

And his music always had blues in it...then again all music does

But it does make you wonder, gee what the heck is this about, so it works in that way.

It rode on the coattails of that new movie , it got organic views on searches of Bob Dylan songs in keywords . I haven't seen the movie yet . Well its just a song , Net worth of 500 million , he probably don't get the blues . its alright , I'm sick of hearing it , I get bored easy

Thanks F

I love your stuff. The way it hangs together so loosely, held together by your voice and performance. Very individual and distinct. This works for me.

Hey Gavin. lucky there's a movie on Dylan now , or it might have been dated
Thanks man, I'll wait for movie on Apple , suppose to be good on his early life
