Song for Bob Dylan
"Song for Bob Dylan" is a song written by David Bowie for his 1971 album "Hunky Dory".
The song references Bob Dylan's 1962 homage to Woody Guthrie, "Song to Woody".
Yet while Dylan opens with "Hey, hey, Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song," Bowie addresses Dylan by his birth name saying, "Now, hear this, Robert Zimmerman, I wrote a song for you."
In the song, Bowie also describes Bob Dylan's voice "like sand and glue" which is similar to how Joyce Carol Oates described it upon first hearing Dylan: "When we first heard this raw, very young, and seemingly untrained voice, frankly nasal, as if sandpaper could sing, the effect was dramatic and electrifying."
Chimes of Freedom (song)
" Chimes of Freedom" is a song written and performed by Bob Dylan and featured on his 1964 album" Another Side of Bob Dylan"( see 1964 in music), produced by Tom Wilson.
Initially, critics described the song as showing the influence of the symbolist poetry of Arthur Rimbaud.
More recent biographers of Dylan have linked the origins of the song to verses Dylan had written as a reflection on the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963.
The song depicts the thoughts and feelings of the singer and his companion as they shelter from a lightning storm under a doorway after sunset.
The singer expresses his solidarity with the downtrodden and oppressed, believing the thunder is tolling in sympathy for them.
Music critic Paul Williams has described the song as Dylan's Sermon on the Mount.
The song has been covered many times by different artists, including The Byrds, Jefferson Starship, Youssou N' Dour, Bruce Springsteen, and U2.

He was a leading figure in the music industry and is considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, acclaimed by critics and musicians, particularly for his innovative work during the 1970s.
His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, with his music and stagecraft having a significant impact on popular music.
During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at 140 million albums worldwide, made him one of the world's best-selling music artists.
In the UK, he was awarded ten platinum album certifications, eleven gold and eight silver, and released eleven number-one albums.
In the US, he received five platinum and nine gold certifications.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
Born in Brixton, South London, Bowie developed an interest in music as a child, eventually studying art, music and design before embarking on a professional career as a musician in 1963.
"Space Oddity" became his first top-five entry on the UK Singles Chart after its release in July 1969.
After a period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with his flamboyant and androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust.
The character was spearheaded by the success of his single "Starman" and album "
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars", which won him widespread popularity.
In 1975, Bowie's style shifted radically towards a sound he characterised as "plastic soul", initially alienating many of his UK devotees but garnering him his first major US crossover success with the number-one single "Fame" and the album "Young Americans".
In 1976, Bowie starred in the cult film "
The Man Who Fell to Earth", directed by Nicolas Roeg, and released "Station to Station".
The following year, he further confounded musical expectations with the electronic-inflected album "Low" (1977), the first of three collaborations with Brian Eno that came to be known as the "Berlin Trilogy"Heroes (1977) and "Lodger" (1979) followed; each album reached the UK top five and received lasting critical praise.
After uneven commercial success in the late 1970s, Bowie had UK number ones with the 1980 single "Ashes to Ashes", its parent album "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)", and "Under Pressure", a 1981 collaboration with Queen.
He reached his commercial peak in 1983 with "Let's Dance"; the album's title track topped both UK and US charts.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment with musical styles, including industrial and jungle.
He also continued acting; his roles included Major Jack Celliers in "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" (1983), Jareth the Goblin King in "Labyrinth" (1986), Pontius Pilate in "The Last Temptation of Christ" (1988), and Nikola Tesla in "The Prestige" (2006), among other film and television appearances and cameos.
He stopped touring after 2004 and his last live performance was at a charity event in 2006.
