D No voice can hope to hum. /c /b-a G C G Struck by the sounds before the sun, I knew the night had gone. The morning breeze like a bugle blew Against the drums of dawn. Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Lay down the song you strum, And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum. The ocean wild like an organ played, The seaweed's wove its strands. The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed Against the rocks and sands. Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Lay down the song you strum, And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum. I stood unwound beneath the skies And clouds unbound by laws. The cryin' rain like a trumpet sang And asked for no applause. Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Lay down the song you strum, And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum. The last of leaves fell from the trees And clung to a new love's breast. The branches bare like a banjo played To the winds that listened best. I gazed down in the river's mirror And watched its winding strum. The water smooth ran like a hymn And like a harp did hum. Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Lay down the song you strum, And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum.

It has been commented on in terms of interpretation of the lyrics of his songs, of their musical treatment, and of the distinctiveness of Dylan’s performance style, while Dylan himself has been treated both as an important figure in the world of popular music, and also as an artist, as a significant poet.

BOB DYLANS SANGLYRIKK (ALLV202/252/303/304) Kursbeskrivelse Dette er det første kurset ved UiB som utelukkende er viet sangskriveren og sangeren Bob Dylan. Kurset skal gi et innblikk i og overblikk over (utvalgte deler av) hele hans sangverk – og det primære pensum vil bestå av ca. 200 sider sanglyrikk. Sanglyrikk er en lyrisk kunstart, og kursets hovedmål er diktanalytisk: Sangdikt skal analyseres og fortolkes – som litterære kunstverk i seg selv, og også som krysningspunkter av lyriske og musikalske referanser til annen kunst og sanglyrikk. Typiske sanglyriske trekk skal fremheves – ikke minst sangstemmen og andre orallitterære særtrekk. Det er også et mål å lese denne lyrikken i et historisk, ideologisk og sosialt perspektiv, og sekundærlitteraturen (artikler og utdrag svarende til ca.

  • The Recording Sessions
    Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions by Michael Krogsgaard, compiled from files available at http://www.punkhart.com/dylan/sessions.html 1 2 Some general information regarding the different sources made available for the study: 1. The Columbia Studios Recording Diaries are books, which for each day of the year (since 1941) list every planned session in the different studios. Information includes: time of the day, name of the studio, name of the producer and the engineers and the name of the artist. For the New York studios one diary is missing, that which covers the period January 1967 to December 1970. For the Nashville studios, the diary for the period 1969 to 1971 is missing. 2. Recording Sheets are lists made during each session and put into each tape box. The sheet records the date, the studio, the artist, which tracks were recorded and the CO number (Columbia's own reference number) for each composition (of which, more later). Each recorded take is marked as complete (C), with a short false start(b) or a long false start (B). It is indicated on these sheet which takes are removed to other tapes for further use. 3. The Tape Boxes themselves also usually contain information about each take and which takes are removed for further use. 4. CO Cards contain information about the CO (CO=Columbia) number and title for each composition and usually also the recording date. The CO numbers are basically a secure identification of each composition but they are not always chronological (for instance: the CO numbers for songs recorded in Nashville are generally higher than CO numbers for songs recorded at the same time in New York), and, confusingly, sometimes one composition has several CO numbers, especially (but not always) if it has been recorded several times at different sessions.

  • The End of Times and Christian Modernism in the Work of Bob Dylan
    chapter 7 Hard Rain: The End of Times and Christian Modernism in the Work of Bob Dylan Anders Thyrring Andersen Mag. art. i litteraturhistorie, sognepræst ved Vor Frue Kirke i Aarhus, Danmark Master of Arts, parish priest at Vor Frue Kirke in Aarhus, Denmark Abstract: In Denmark it is still common to characterize Bob Dylan as a left wing protest singer. However, this view is unjustified. On the contrary, Christianity is cen- tral to his songwriting, and not only in the period around 1980, when he presented himself as a believing Christian. Religiosity is not only the basis of Dylan’s work from the debut in 1962 to today, but the very core of many of his songs. Sustained by a large number of quotes from, and references to, the Bible, the theme of the flood and judgement day is one of the themes running through Dylan’s songs, and, based on a belief in providence, it is used to criticize secular modernity. However, this criticism is formulated in a modernistic language of images, and therefore Dylan can be characterized as a Christian modernist. He can be compared to T. S. Eliot, and uses an indirect, dialogical and dialectical method reminiscent of Søren Kierke- gaard: to speak of Christian belief in the language of modernity with the purpose of re-Christening modernity. Keywords: Christian modernism, Bible quotes, the End of Times, The Flood, Providence, dialectical method Sammendrag: I Danmark er det stadig almindeligt at betegne Bob Dylan som en venstreorienteret protestsanger. Det er der ikke belæg for. Derimod står kristen- dommen helt centralt i hans sangskrivning, og vel at mærke ikke kun i den periode omkring 1980, hvor han trådte frem som erklæret kristen.
