When he thinks about Lennon being murdered by Chapman

He wishes all the bad would stop happening

Times are changing but maybe not with him

Greenwich village ghosts haunt him like bad rhythms…like bad rhythms

 

CHORUS

Sometimes even Dylan gets the blues

Still moving on and pushing 82

He misses those long lost glory days

Even now he’s trying to find his way

It’s so hard living in different  shoes

Yeah, sometimes even Dylan gets the blues

 

He was happier at 17 when he could barley afford a sandwich

Now he stumbles down the hall in his mansion

He still remembers kids dying in Viet Nam

And why his music didn’t stop it sooner but he tried man….he really tried man

CHORUS
bridge
It’s alright its alright ma I’m only bleeding
A sad sad ballad what the crowd is needing

I REALLY like this tune! You have mashed a few musical styles together into a fantastic production that absolutely demanded a replay. It's all cemented in place by some seriously good vocals and songwriting.

Hey

This is catchy and has a very professional sound. With 6.5k listens on SoundCloud I guess you know that already!

Cant fault it at all. Enjoyable listen.

Interesting and dynamic melody. Beautiful vocals. The guitar accent on the weak share sounds beautiful.

This didn't sound like Dylan or the Blues :D
Seriously though - good vocals and production.
To me, the melody was a bit samey and not very catchy but others disagree so I'll shut up about it.
Good luck with it!

Hi, this sounded nothing at all like I expected it to after reading the lyrics - that's a good thing I guess, it subverted expectations.
It sounded ultra modern to my ears (my not very modern ears).  I didn't really like the vocal effects if I'm honest - because the lyrics are cool, but the voice felt so effected I couldn't make out the lyrics in the track itself, or get much of a sense of "you" from the delivery.  I'd love to hear it with less effects on the vocals, particularly for a song that references Dylan.
None the less, production was really slick, it has good dynamics, I liked the intriguing intro a lot, and clearly loads of people on Soundcloud love it! And like I said, the lyrics are ace.

@Elvis Nash  …. Future conversation I’m going to have: “hey sis, you know I’m on that songwriting forum? Well that guy who’s just gone to number one in the album charts - he once posted his hit single ‘Dylan gets the blues’  on the forum for feedback” 😁
Awesome man 👌
Sound formed in a vacuum may seem a waste of time...

@Elvis Nash
Great title and chorus.
Spot on the current pop sound and production.
Vocals sound great, even if you probably didn't need all the processing.
Good luck with it.

Hola @Elvis Nash

You have a very harmonious musical sense. I really liked the song, it is a very good production.
The lyrics are fantastic, sad and realistic. This line has enchanted me

"It’s so hard living in different shoes"

Stay safe

Wow, that was great. Really liked it - production, singing, song-writing all top notch. The voice and harmonies are super. Well done.

Only one thing jumped out at me and that was the line "He was happier at seventeen". Was he? I don't know. But because none of us can know (except Bob) it sort of just struck a little dischord with me. Very minor, I know, and that aside, I loved it.
