    Chorus:
    [Verse 1]
    Far between sundown’s finish and midnight’s broken toll
    We ducked inside the doorways, thunder went crashing
    As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
    Seemin' to be the chimes of freedom flashing
    Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
    Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
    And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
    And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
    [Verse 2]
    Through the city’s melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
    With faces hidden as the walls were tightening
    As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin’ rain
    Dissolved into the bells of the lightning
    Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
    Tolling for the luckless, they abandoned and forsaked
    Tolling for the outcast, burning constantly at stake
    And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
    [Verse 3]
    Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
    The sky cracked it's poems in naked wonder
    That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
    Leavin' only bells of lightning and it's thunder
    Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind
    Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind
    And the poet and the painter far behind his rightful time
    And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
    [Verse 4]
    And the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
    For disrobed faceless forms of no position
    Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
    All down in taken-for-granted situations
    Tolling for the deaf and blind, tolling for the mute
    For the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
    For the misdemeanor outlaw, chained and cheated by pursuit
    And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
    [Verse 5]
    Even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far-off corner flared
    And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
    Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
    Condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin'
    Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
    For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
    And for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
    And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
    [Verse 6]
    Starry-eyed and laughing as I recall when we were caught
    Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
    As we listened one last time and we watched with one last look
    Spellbound and swallowed ’til the tolling ended
    Tolling for the aching whose wounds cannot be nursed
    For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse
    And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
    And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

      @@cficarra You're probably correct but still a possibility, since in the past some have seemingly kept up with his life's journey and made awful false allegations about and against him. It really upsets me that the ole green-eyed monster at times surfaces spewing its misdirected jealousy where it doesn't belong. I have followed and been a fan of Bob's since 1970. I am certain he is as genuine as they come. Bob Dylan forever❤️

      When I WAS 12 my brother gave me a guitar, a chord book and the 1st Bob Dylan album. Years later we were in Scotland, and I (the little brother) was trying to tell him, it's not the music it's the poetry, he couldn't understand the difference. When Dylan got awarded a Nobel for his poetry my brother wrote to me here in Ireland and said "I understand". So never again if in Ireland or Scotland, we will chill with some whiskey and just enjoy possibly the greatest poet of our century

      With the power of both Chimes of Freedom and Ballad in Plain D, it is my favorite Dylan album. I admit I stopped listening to him after Blonde on Blonde as I did not like his new style. I liked him better as a gifted writer of folk songs.

      Hmmn "Motor Psycho Nightmare" and "I Shall Be Free #10"? I mean it's an amazing album and this is coming from a Dylanphile of the highest degree but not every song is a winner. And songs like "Ballad in Plain D" are just bitter and angry. While I love his Symbolist era songs I still think he is at his best when writing his little love pop songs mixed with Symbolist imagery like "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"

    Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll
    We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
    As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
    Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
    Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
    Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
    An' for each an' ev'ry underdog soldier in the night
    An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
    Through the city's melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
    With faces hidden while the walls were tightening
    As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin' rain
    Dissolved into the bells of the lightning
    Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
    Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an' forsaked
    Tolling for the outcast, burnin' constantly at stake
    An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
    Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
    The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
    That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
    Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder
    Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind
    Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind
    An' the unpawned painter behind his rightful time
    An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
    In the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
    For the disrobed faceless forms of no position
    Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
    All down in taken-for-granted situations
    Tolling for the deaf an' blind, tolling for the mute
    For the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
    For the misdemeanor outlaw, chained an' cheated by pursuit
    An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
    🎵🎶🎵🎶
    Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
    An' the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
    Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
    Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
    Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
    For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
    An' for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
    An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
    🎵🎶🎵🎶
    Starry-eyed an' laughing as I recall when we were caught
    Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
    As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look
    Spellbound an' swallowed 'til the tolling ended
    Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
    For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse
    An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
    An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

      Or did you wait until the mainstream media told you to care for the side supported by the CIA, WEF and Mossad, and headed by an actor infamous for playing the piano with his shlong ?
      The fact is that Russia did not start this war. Ukrainian troops did. And the Ukrainian government reneged on their agreement remain neutral, and not to ally with the EU and NATO.

    I believe he wrote this and Mr. Tambourine Man around the same time. He went on a car Journey with some friends. Took LSD for the first time. Went to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. I think after this experience, his songwriting went up quite a few notches. His songs began to look inward, and so with his influence on the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, music would never be the same again. He influenced everyone from the top, Beatles, Stones, to bands just starting out, and because of this there was an explosion of great music in the mid to late '60s.

      Sorry, but if you're going to label any of his songs as the "voice of the 60's" it would have to be Blowing In The Wind. i always thought that Phil Ochs got short shrift when compared to Dylan. He was a better guitarist , a better singer, and though not as many songs in his library, every bit the lyricist as Dylan.

    • @oleggorky906
      @oleggorky906 Před 6 měsíci +2

      @@stevenmeyer9674 Well, it’s each to their own opinion and I respect that. But I disagree.
      Phil Ochs might well have been Dylan’s equal when it came to protest, civil rights and social justice et al. But Dylan was never going to be satisfied with just that and wanted to capture the complexity of human relationships, and not (as he once put it) simply write ‘finger-pointing’ songs.
      I don’t remember Phil for songs like To Ramona, Don’t think Twice (It’s Alright), Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather, One too Many Mornings, Just Like a Woman, Shelter from the Storm, Sara, Idiot Wind, One More Cup of Coffee and so on.
      Then again, Ochs also didn’t write a plea for transcendence like Mr Tambourine Man either, or Knocking on Heaven’s Door. Dylan developed deeper narratives. Personally, I felt that Phil Ochs was a bit limited and that time had moved on and he had been left behind.
      Sadly Ochs had a lot of personal demons which he lost the battle to, and I’m not going to make light of that because it can be truly heartbreaking when your mental health breaks down; some of us have also been there. But some people use that as a stick to beat Dylan with, suggesting that he was jealous of Ochs, which is why he didn’t allow him to perform on the Rolling Thunder Revue Tour and that somehow he held him back and that that finished him off. He can’t be blamed because the other guy’s career stalled and he didn’t owe him anything (although it probably still upset him).
      If I was going to suggest others who pushed him and gave him a good run for his song writing money, I would have said Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Gordon Lightfoot, John Prine and Neil Young, all of whom proved their metal by adding longevity to add to their talent; I love them all.
      But it’s interesting what they themselves usually said about Dylan’s abilities that speaks volumes.

      ​@@oleggorky906right on! I liked Ochs too, but he was a bit of a one-trick finger-pointing pony who lacked Dylan's depth and breadth. I agree with you about Prine. To me, he's the closest we've seen to Dylan... Such intimacy in his lyrics. Was lucky enough to see him live only months before his passing.

      @@user-ul9rq6dw8s You saw John Prine just before he passed on!? I would have given my high teeth for that pleasure. I believe Bob would have as well. It’s well known how highly he regarded him; in fact, he has matured a lot since he was a young man and he has been generous in his praise for all of those I mentioned. That’s the mark of a man who’s comfortable in his own skin; because he knows his own worth he doesn’t feel the need to behave like an a-hole towards his peers.
      Heck, he even refuses to get drawn into a verbal joust with Joni Mitchell. As talented as she is, she has a chip on her shoulder the size of Alaska. But yeah, I feel for Phil and agree with what you said. Bob Dylan knew that the world couldn’t be changed by firing out bitter diatribes all the time; like he once said, he had been through all that. I agree that he - Phil - lacked the all round depth of a Dylan, Prine, Lightfoot et al and that he was a one trick pony who had failed to adapt to the changing landscape of the 70s. It was sad that he died a bitter, broken man. But it certainly was through no fault of Bob Dylan.
