The content of this educational video is covered by fair use. My work is transformative and adds interpretation and analysis to the original work much as happens when I teach poetry in a university classroom. When I explain songs, I rarely use more the lyrics or short clips of the original song or music video and do not hurt the song’s salability or provide a market substitute. All copyright claims will be disputed and appealed. Please see me as your ally as I use a literary perspective to enable fans to understand and enjoy your wonderful and interesting piece of music.
Woo-hoo!!! Thank you for this! Please do more of the 60s era and Dylan or The Beatles as I feel you have really interesting insights into that style. I suggested Dylan a month or so ago in the comments and am so happy you've done one
He knew this was one of the sources for the AP Seminar exam.
Thanks I was so confused and guessed so many things wrong. Like the dove as a symbol of marriage or retirement lol.
i was literally watching old dylan concert videos from the 60s last night, i very much needed this
Omg I'm so happy! I love this song and Bob Dylan thank you for doing this amazing song!!
One of my favorite songs i was listening to it yesterday and im so happy you made this video. Bob Dylan is a legend.
Glad you're excited!
@@ThePopSongProfessor you should do one these on a change is gonna come by sam cooke partly inspired by this song
One of my favourite songs and Bob Dylan is an artist I respect so much! It also makes me so nostalgic because my dad always listened to Dylan
Oh god, Bob Dylan is such an amazing songwriter and I'm so glad you're talking about him ❤️
Hopefully this video will make many revisit this classic or maybe discover it
ahh I wish you could do more of bob dylan songs! I like how he does the talking blues, kinda reminds me of when Tyler Joseph raps!
It’s beautiful and yet it’s filled with harsh truth. This song never gets old.
Loving that you're taking a look at an older song, especially someone who wrote lyrics as good as Dylan. Thanks for making this video!
Thank you digging into the treasure trove of the past. Perfect and powerful video.
Im sure you knew that a video like this wasnt going to atract as many viewers as other videos but im glad to see a dedication to good content, nice video, cliff
Thanks for noticing. Yep, it may not get many views, but it was fun to make.
Amazing video!!! Love your channel, keep up the great content in 2019 💯
Thanks!
The Pop Song Professor absolutely
I've tried to learn different musical instruments, over the years. BUT, I'M A FAILURE!!
BUT, I TOTALLY APPRECIATE musical artists who magically say my words.
Thank you. Keep doing this.
Thank you for doing this! Bob Dylan was constantly asked to explain his song lyrics & his answers were intentionally ambiguous. Like so many great artists, he wanted people to come up with their own interpretations & meanings. I find him a great songwriter & lyricist. His voice requires patience to become accustomed to hear.
YES
Beautiful song, nice explanation
I think what Bob Dylan meant by saying "the answer is blowing in the wind" is that the wind has witnessed these same things in the past and therefore it knows the answers to all these questions.
Wow...that's some good observation!
Great help thank you!
last year in my English class we did a unit on Bob Dylan for rhetorical analysis, and the assignment was to write our own stanza in the style of a Bob Dylan song, and this was the song I wrote to!! We think on the same wave Cliff lol
Straight to the point
Thank you!!!!
Thank you ❤
I was only familiar with Joan Baez's version of this song until today, though I knew Dylan wrote it. But you have inspired me to go listen to the original.
Maybe the answer is blowing in the wind and it won’t come down till the wind calms down.
Maybe the answer has been right in front of us this whole time but the turmoil and turbulence of our minds makes us blind and deaf to it.
Maybe like a lake that you can’t see the bottom of while it’s windy and wavy until a calm is reached and the water is still, maybe just like that we can’t see the answer until we in the mind are calm still and mindfully observant.
You mean wind is our mind ??
Hey can you explaine Sound Of Silence
Well Done!
Well done on explaining the meaning of his lyrics... much of these songs have very deep meanings.. this is unfortunately missing in today’s music.
I think the answer is in the wind like, is so hard to get it, to capture the answer (wind) in your hands but still hits u in the face, it’s still obvious, at least thats my opinion don’t know if it makes sense.
Wow I've never thought about it like that. That's very smart
Well said.
I love your idea of critiquing great lyrics. Thank you. My query is : are do you avoid copyright infringements while using his lyrics? Many thanks .
TIMELESS
Whats the backgrounds music you use in your videos
Pleeeeaasssee do more bob Dylan lyrical analysis
I was sitting in a lawn chair listening to the noise my American flag made, as it blew in the wind. And I suddenly made a connection to this song. Was Bob saying that as long as man has national boundaries and yes flags, that these problems (as he saw them) going to continue to exist?
Choosing the last name Dylan is important yet no one mentions is. After Dylan Thomas.
Could you explain the lyrics of Politik from Coldplay?
I love Peter Paul and Mary's cover of this. 💙💙💙💙
Could you do "Northern Downpour" by Panic! At The Disco ? It's such a beautiful song and so complexly written, if that makes sense.
I think I did!
Yess
Amazing video! Could you maybe do it's alright ma by bob
This is a pretty good song explanation. However, most of Dylan's early career was as a folk musician in New York. He had a huge influence from Guthrie and about half of his first two albums were covers of old folk songs.
The answer is blowing in the wind means these things in our time perhaps for the first are attainable and we need only to reach out anď grasp the answer.
could you do something by King Princess please?
Hello there, your account is great. I'm a literature student. For a project I thought of analyzing Bob Dylan's songs. Can you suggest the themes you find in his songs or the best lyrics from his songs. Thank you.
Hey may I ask sir what does the "ears" symbolize in the song?
❤❤❤❤ folk songs
Blowing in the win
Hi, loved your video. I'm doing literature. For my project I'm thinking a way to connect songs and literature. What do you think? Recommend me any songs or lyricist to analyze. Btw I'm from India.
Explain tambourine man of bob dylon plz teacher plz
Can you do It's all over now baby blue? :)
The answer is in the air... you probably had to be there at the time to understand what the mood was "in the air" at the time. But like all good songs - its open to interpretation
It becomes more and more appropriate and relevant to these days.
How I need to know for school
I only know the Peter, Paul and Mary version.
Will you ever do an explanation of a Jack White or White Stripes song?
Maybe
The moon and sun cause wind.
Please do more about Eminem
I plan to. :)
Looking for something deep? Listen to Sawyer Fredericks new album, Hide Your Ghost. It’s incredible.
You never mentioned what Dylan means by "the answer is blowing in the wind."
Chris Davidson he certainly did
"Writing ballads about a specific person"
At least the person isn't a painting
Elanor Rigsby lyrics explained
Thought this song was written about Vietnam?
dude youshould really check out AJR, preferably burn the house down.
Ask 「War-Weapon Traders」and U.S. Presidents.
Is Bob Dylan alive ?
“BLOWIN’ in the wind “ .. may be by this he is trying to say that’s the FLAG of a nation probably ... ???
you forgot one possible meaning for "the answer my friends...". To "blow" air with your mouth, like in making bubbles or steam for sunglasses, one might clean with the hem of a cotton shirt... to blow air like that in the wind is insignificant compared to the wind. The wind takes your minuscule exhale of air and completely dissolves it into itself and swirls it away. You can't recapture that breath of air ever again. It is hopelessly elusive to even try. So it could mean that 'THE ANSWER" (to all these previously posed questions in the song) will be near to impossible to ever find. Trying to find it is like, "...BLOWING IN THE WIND"
o for gosh sake take a hike sheethead
I think ‘The Wind’ is the Holy Spirit
Is there anyone writing SSLC IN india..🔥🙈
First
To say I’m not first
Nice way around that.
...you know that there was no rock music in the 1940's, right?
rock n' roll from the 1940s?
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind; the flag is blowing in the wind.
😂😂😂😂 Its not a slave song.
