Tiny Desk Rides Again...

The sounds of spring and summer were looming large in the neighbourhood tonight.  But these two and their guitars seem to be what I need most right now.

That was great! I didn't catch the lyrics as I was just listening to the music but it was a great way to start the day.

Glad you enjoyed it!  I like how they finished off with a Neil Young song too.  A couple of weeks ago, they popped up on youtube.  Then last night this video came up when another musician mentioned them and I looked them up.  It's got what appears to me, to be some difficult harmonies (maybe it's the key of the song that's different), but I find it's a haunting and captivating song that reminds me a little of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

I ran into this last night because people on Twitter were discussing the lyrics. It was released a few weeks ago.
I'm not a big Dylan fan (and I didn't really listen to the lyrics) but it was 16 minutes of somber, softly building music that I enjoyed.

Here is Neil Young on the song:

I can see why you got hooked in.  17 minutes in the key of C, with heart-wrenching strings and powerful piano.  I wonder what possessed Dylan to mention so many pieces of music.  Did he pick his favourite songs and artists, then find what rhymed, or did he mention someone he loved and threw in someone who happened to rhyme?  Dylan has a voice (certainly his later years) that lends itself to melancholy, I believe.  Maybe it's because I fell in love with songs like Not Dark Yet. This, despite his voice sounding downright cartoonish at points.

Since we'll probably never do a proper Dylan thread...and its Saturday night....
