Dylan

這幾日將Bob Dylan的精選集Dylan又拿出來聽，有一個想法：感謝這位老先生當時能不畏粉絲的反彈，走出民謠，不然，我就得從頭到尾聽他的民謠風聽到打瞌睡。

說實在的，Bob Dylan的民謠重點完全在歌詞，至於樂曲，一把木吉他，一兩個和絃，唸唱幾句，來一段口琴間奏，幾乎每一首都如此，聽久了不免神魂出竅，迷迷茫茫不知到哪去了。

慢慢往下聽，逐漸有插電樂器出現，感謝。初期的插電作品，基本上結構和民謠時期差不多，都是敍事詩(ballad)型態，性質上就像：「我來唸歌囉~~惑恁聽哩~~，咿~咿~咿」，只是樂器的音色多些變化。

等到Dylan的迷幻作品Mr. Tambourine Man出現，突然耳目一新，有不同的樂曲結構，歌詞也比較像是歌詞；到了Like a Rolling Stone，終於讓人清醒，可以繼續認真聽下去。之後還是會出現幾個間歇性的出神時間，不過比起前面的一大段要好多了，無所不在的口琴也少了。

在Rolling Stone Top 500中，Bob Dylan個人就占有12首，如下：

NO.1 Like a Rolling Stone
NO.14 Blowin' in the Wind
NO.59 The Times They Are A-Changin'
NO.68 Tangled Up in Blue
NO.106 Mr. Tambourine Man
NO.185 Desolation Row
NO.190 Knocking on Heaven's Door
NO.203 Positively 4th Street
NO.230 Just Like a Woman
NO.332 Subterranean Homesick Blues
NO.364 Highway 61 Revisited
NO.404 Vision of Johanna

如果單就作品的音樂性來看，除了那首冠軍曲之外，我最喜歡的歌曲是：



Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
