The Times They Are A-Changin

 Bob Dylan may be a controversial figure but his music is amazing. He is hands down one of the best lyricists in my mind and wrote about so many global and still relevant themes. When a musician can write something that is relevant and still relate-able years later that's how you know they are a true artist. Dylan was able to do that and I say that without hesitation. Though people may not like folkish music, you can't deny the power of his lyrics. You could just read his lyrics and they can come through as a poem instead of a song, that's the sign of an amazing writer. My favourite song, I think, by Dylan is "The Times They Are A-Changin". It's an extremely moving song and every generation can relate. More so now I think considering how rapidly the world has changed in the past 50 years. Our parents are so quick to judge us on so many topics like technology, school, sex, religious belief, life paths. They aren't exactly open minded and ready for the world to change. Our current generation is so much more open and ready to accept it I think. We have our own beliefs but we're open to listen to others as well. Regardless of whether or not anyone wants the world to change, it always will be, it's inevitable. Like Dylan says "you better start swimming, or you'll sink like a stone", this could not be more true. So below are the lyrics to the song and the song itself.
