Desire Poem Analyse

The album I choose to my review on is Desire. I choose this album because most of the songs on here I enjoy and on the other albums I didn’t enjoy that much. Even though Bob Dylan is an awful singer but he makes decent music. I am going to go through my favorite songs and tell you how I feel about them and then I’m going to go through the songs I didn’t like at all.

Desire is known as a “Sloppy Masterpiece”. The album opens with one of the most debated songs: “Hurricane.” Generally slow to be his last great protest song, it is a brilliant eight-minute statement against the unfair conviction of middleweight boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter for a horrific 1966 triple-homicide in Paterson, New Jersey. By using a man’s small-town legal fight, forty

It was such a complex song. This song was written when Bob and his wife where separating, so there some of the fans think his song is about their relationship before they separated. He leaves town atop a pony headed "for the wild unknown country." On his way, he meets with a shady character and the both of them begin a search for treasure. During the journey, the man keeps thinking back to his ex-wife. Midway through the song the shady character dies, leaving the man alone. Then the man drags the dead man to a casket before going back to Isis, just to tell her he loves her. Isis then takes her husband back. This is a good yet confusing song because we don’t know who the shady character is. He has a conversation in the song which is “She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special.” She said, “You look different.” I said, “Well, I guess.” She said, “You been gone.” I said, “That’s only natural.” She said, “You gonna stay?” I said, “if you want me to, yes.” This is definitely a real conversation he had with his real wife. This makes the song special because he puts in real life situations and even conversations that make this song special. His vocals are very different in this song which makes it

Bob was visiting painter David Oppenheim in the South of France, and they both went to a gypsy festival. There, as Bob later told, he "got mixed up with someone" and met a man who "had maybe 16 to 20 wives and over a hundred children." Bob stayed for a week; and when he left, he asked for a cup of coffee for the road. "I wasn't sure if I could say anything else, but it was unsafe land," he said. That's a good story, anyway, and it might have been the beginning of "One More Cup of Coffee." The song is a gloomy tribute to a woman with eyes "like two jewels in the sky" and a amusing and dominant father. It's full of spirituality and made all the more powerful by the distinct vocals. This is a minor song compared to Hurricane because Hurricane is a big hit. Personally this song didn’t stick out to me like Hurricane did. This didn’t tell a great in depth story like Hurricane. It creates a mood all of its own and has been one of Bob’s most popular songs with his audience. The one thing I enjoyed throughout the song was the violin and has a great flow with the beat but the lyrics didn’t stick to
