Perhaps only Bob Dylan, a mature and vicissitudes voice, can interpret this famous philosophical life song, floating in the wind. ...
1962, Bob who was only a second-rate musician at that time? 6? 1 Bob Dylan performed this sad song "Floating in the Wind" with his unique hoarse voice. Throughout the sixties and seventies, the so-called "beat generation" of American rebellious youth, playing the old guitar and humming this song against the Vietnam War, went to every corner of the world to pursue their dreams. Thirty-two years later, this song was chosen as the theme song of Forrest Gump, and together with Forrest Gump, it became a symbol of progressive spirit. Every time I listen, I will inevitably feel something in my heart.
This song was selected as the textbook of American universities. If all poems are as concise and profound as Gone with the Wind, with the brilliance of wise men flowing between lyrics and songs and simple folk songs, then modernist poets will not complain that readers can't understand poems.
In 1962 published in Gone with the Wind, youth is surrounded by greater power and becomes the courage and edge to intervene in social movements. It was really an era of thought. You don't have to talk about love, you just need to have a sense of social responsibility to become an idol.
Floating in the Wind has become a masterpiece to remind people to wake up from time to time because of its wise lyrics. A kind of cold thinking flows out in the singer's rambling singing. A guitar, a harmonica hanging around his neck, a really broken voice and a messy hairstyle make people have to like his rough and casual style. Please don't say that only in an idealistic country will people give up form and attach importance to feelings. In fact, in this trivial and exquisite world we live in, Dylan's songs are still so inspiring, but arrogant, which makes people want to go out of the world, listen and sing.
[main idea of lyrics]
Drifting in the wind.
How many roads must a person walk before he can be called a hero?
How many oceans does a white dove have to fly to sleep on the beach?
How long will the shells run wild before they will never exist?
My friend can find the answer in the wind.
How long does it take for a mountain to stand before it is washed into the sea?
How many years will these people persist before they can be free?
How many times does a person have to turn his head to pretend he didn't see anything?
My friend can find the answer in the wind.
How many times does a person have to look up before he can see the sky?
How many ears does a person need to hear someone cry?
How many times does he have to die before he knows that too many people have given their lives?
My friend can find the answer in the wind.
