The Life of a Song: A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall
單曲鑒賞:A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall
David Cheal looks at how Bob Dylan took inspiration from an old Scottish border ballad while writing this era-defining apocalyptic vision of what he saw as the violent, ignorant and hypocritical socio-political landscape of 1960s America.
迪倫的研究者們從未停止過對這首歌的創作初衷、意圖和歌詞的象征意義的追尋,而這首具有時代意義的歌曲在David Cheal看來是上世紀60年代美國政治社會情形的真實寫照。
