The greatest songwriting process of all time

He gave an interview on 60 minutes and he said he can’t even remember how he wrote those songs .. Daid he made a deal with the supreme leader of this world and beyond .. aka Lucifer … So , what the if you see Kay trying to prove .. son of ah ..

Does anyone know what book the stills are taken from? The ones with notebooks, margin scribbling etc. Nice clip!

From Blood on the tracks to Time out of mind. Love the "let's skip of two decades" lol

Idolatry, hyperbole, magic thinking, and your vocabulary full of illogical absolutes.
(You even resemble Dylan.)
He should give the Nobel Prize back. 😮
I distrusted "Blowing in the wind" at first listen; nihilistic hippie irresponibility while we died in Viet Nam, and then his Jew-to-Christian conversion when market forces made that strategic ("You gotta serve somebody" as opposed to getting a real education, Bob? 😂 ) and that wonderful EPIC POEM "Tangled Up ,,," is much too long to be a song (maybe only obvious to those who try to learn it).
Add to that the fake Appalachian Pioneer unsmiling crazy staring schtick (what's with the white paint smeared on his face? LOL) extolling WASP anti-sensual anti-dance values (WASPs once OUTLAWED all song and dance, even in church!) and Bob looks more like a social anchor into a tradition that should have died in our short-lived "Land Of A Thousand Dances" which today AGAIN employs the conservatism and authoritarian tendencies of the 1960s, with the subconscious mantra "Short hair, long shorts, get smashed, and NO DANCING."
Jewish Bob maybe likes the LAW mandating The Ten Commandments on school walls?
Delusion's definition is Belief without Evidence EXCEPT RELIGION?
Bob deserved a Nobel Prize?
Read science. Learn critical thinking.
Bob Dylan = The most over-rated, irresponsible "artist" in history, that completely rejected the role of social critic "court jester" to promote a sullen, taciturn charicature of a "bard" from a couple of centuries ago.
And where does this Minnesota boy's speaking accent come from?
Fakery. Putting on airs.

Roger Waters is on a different level to bob. John Lennon too. Dill wouldn't even qualify to sharpen their pencils or fetch pen and ink for them. Dill's idols , Mr Thomas from Cymru, and Woddy Guthrie from OA were so great that lill ol bob would have had to stand on his mamma's shoulders just to kiss their A.s.s.

You're gonna make me lonesome is good but come on, compare that to I want you, or The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol or Stuck inside of mobile or of course my personal favorite Ballad of a Thin Man

you look just like him

sometimes i be digging around in my butt

Leonard cohen makes Dylan look like an amateur

Great video!

Once during an interview , John Lennon was accused of borrowing a chord progression from Chuck Berry to which he replied "Good songwiters Borrow . Great songwriters Steal"

I agree with you, Blood on the Tracks is Dylan’s best, and my favorite song is I’m going to Miss You When I Go.

bro looks exactly like bob dylan

Thanks!

Correction: Bob Dylan was the second songwriter to win the Nobel Prize in literature, the first being Rabindranath Tagore.

Bob Dylan was certaily worthy of getting the nobel prize but Leanord Cohen gets my vote as well.

Very nicely done.

I'm pretty sure other people have won Nobel Prizes. Dylan must've written this title.

Oh, my name, it ain't nothin', my age, it means less
The country I come from is called the Midwest

omg you two are very similar!!!

God this is a shallow video lol. Impresses the know-nothings i guess. Packed with clichés and old outdated info and clickbaity title. Yawn

Silvio Rodriguez should've won.

Nicely done.
The symbiotic overlap from the beat poets to the 60s rockers should get more attention, right from the Silver Beatles backing Royston Ellis in 1960 Liverpool to McCartney and Ginsburg doing Ballad Of The Skeletons at the Albert Hall in 1996.
There's a real argument to be made that Morrison and Dylan were the last of the beat poet generation.

That’s Tupac Process

Have you done Joni Mitchell as well? I would love to explore her outlook on writing lyrics - I was deeply in love with her approach to lyrics for years.
Another guy who used the "scraps of paper" method was David Bowie. As a Lyric writer myself, I find all three people interesting.

Great job on breaking down his writing process. Personally, I will always consider "Jokerman" to be his best work. THEN Blood on the Tracks.

I went through a phase of trying to find out his genius, then thankfully I realised I didn’t necessarily have to know everything about his work, also luckily I heard his music without knowing anything about his struggles for his freedom, it’s shameful to know he was judged for busy being born, plural wise , now he is teaching me how to be busy dying 😅, my point, enjoy, “ I am my words “

In that interview after that statement he threw out a verse of It's alright ma. Songs like that I believe is what he referred too. His early music has a bit of magic. As George Harrison once said he says everything and nothing in those songs

Been to loads of gigs, festivals etc but one of my most profound musical experiences was watching Bob Dylan play Tangled up in Blue on the Rolling Thunder Review on my laptop with headphones on in the dark in my bedroom. Raw visceral power.

test

I remember the first time I heard Tangled Up in Blue decades ago, as a teenager. Changed my life. Bought Blood On The Tracks — and to this day, you can just ‘repeat’ the whole album.

This is how I write lyrics too. I start with a general concept and then vomit out page of unfiltered ideas. And then I pick out 3-4 most interesting lines and build off of that. I definitely recommend it.

As he aged, he became increasingly duller.

Dylan is not the first songwriter to win the Nobel Prize in Literature! Indian poet and musician Rabindranath Tagore won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.

hmm you look like you wouldve been a great casting to play Bob Dylan in a movie.

No profounder literary influence on my generation

you know, they say, if you narrow in, that DaVinci at times also drew inspiration from his counterparts as well. They polished the idea stones to shine so bright.

thank you for the video. you kinda look like him btw

Greatest music festival headliner team outlaw festival woot woot🎉

I am a writer and musician. I think Dylan's best record is BRING IT ALL BACK HOME. It was the first record I ever bought. Not because it was Dylan. I bought the record because the LP's picture was SOOOO WEIRD. It also had Tambourine Man on it, and I HATED that song. I'm from Shetland, and we play FIDDLE, or when I lived there, from 1950 to 1963. In 63, when I was 13, we moved to America; Detroit, Michigan for a year, then out to a tiny wee farm -- only 15 acres and the farm had been vacant for over twenty years; I learned SOOOOO MUCH on that farm. But I hated R&R, BUT a friend on the island who lived close had an uncle who was a merchant marine and would being my friend R&R records which he loved; he also had a portable turntable that you wound up with a skate key. The day before we came to America he came over with his record player but had only one 45. MY LIFE CHANGED IN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES; IT WAS THE BEATLES!!!!!! Then, in America I heard the band that made me want to play ROCK!!! The Beatles made me question my only instrument, FIDDLE, but it was THE WHO that made me want to play ROCK!!! MY GENERATION was AMAZING!!! BUT. my favourite writer/songwriter IS JOHN PRINE, and I'm pretty sure I read or even heard him in an interview say, when asked about John Prine, he said: I WISH I COULD WRITE LIKE HIM; Mr. Dylan, JOHN PRINE IS THE BOMB!!! But you ain't no slouch yourself!!! The Best Beatles record is REVOLVER! Because on that record you could hear where they come from, where they were, and where they were going!

Dylan reconfigured, repackaged, and borrowed a ton.

You skip over his reformating acoustic music on albums such as Another Side of Bob Dylan and culminating in Bringing It All Back Home. The acoustic side of BIABH bears little resemblance to traditional folk forms and the modernity and density of the lyrics far outstrip not only tradional folk songs, but original songs from emerging artists following in his wake. No one else could write sonething like Desolation Row

G, D, Am...G,D, C...repeat to fade...just... incredible.

Thank you❣️💥👌

It's time Bob wrote a song about Gaza.

Lovely post.
