Tammy ReesePublished 3 years ago in BeatThe Best Halloween Music Videos
The Best Halloween Music Videos By: Alisha Allen My favorite time of year is Autumn. I love the color of the weather, smore’s, costume shopping, watching scary movies. That is definitely one of my favorite parts about Halloween. I love to cuddle up with a nice blanket and watch a good movie. There are so many good ones, too! I might do a movie review at some point, however right now there is something else that I want to talk about. Halloween music! I love to watch some Halloween music videos on Youtube. Nobody ever talks about Halloween music, mainly because they believe Halloween is the devil’s birthday. Everybody listens to Christmas music. Some even listen to it all year, however nobody ever talks about their favorite Halloween song. I want to help try and change that, which is why I have made a list of my favorite Youtube videos.

Being able to play a musical instrument perfectly and with confidence can be fulfilling. Which instrument would you pick and instantly be able to play it? The violin would usually be among one of the top choices. The violin represents an elegant aura and a sense of class, however many individuals would think that the instrument is way too hard to learn.

The song “I Shall Be Released” by Bob Dylan has been covered by many, many artists over the years with my personal favourite being by Nina Simone. The song itself is a great testament to life and death in which Bob Dylan explores the point of imprisonment and the way in which someone’s own reflection can be seen in a place which is without any mirrors. Now, what we talk about in the posts of “Dylan in a day” is not the critical analysis behind the songs but instead what we think the songs might be about. I have read way too many books on Bob Dylan’s songs to start giving a citation for everyone I use, so instead I want to talk to you about what I take from the song myself. “I Shall Be Released” has to be one of my favourite songs by Bob Dylan and it actually appears in two different main forms: one being on “The Greatest Hits” album along with “Watching the River Flow” and the other on the “Raw” or “Complete” version of “The Basement Tapes”. By general consensus, the latter seems to be the one that is more liked of the two.

Before the lockdown, I wrote a list of articles that I wanted to write on here on my wordpress blog. This was one of them. Whilst I didn’t do as much writing as I had hoped for, I am still proud of the little achievements and small word counts. My 10th book, a dystopian novel called Game of Mass Destruction got its first review on Goodreads and it’s a positive review.

This is a song that I have loved for many years in many forms. There’s the album version on “Highway 61 Revisited” (1965) and then there’s the version on “No Direction Home” which is also pretty amazing in a different key. I want to have a quick look at what I think this song means and honestly, I want to have a look at how the song sounds. I think there’s enough critical analysis on deeper meanings in Bob Dylan’s lyrics for you to check out by people who have, to Bob Dylan’s own dismay, studied him for fifty or so years. My reviews on Bob Dylan are purely for entertainment purposes. Why? The poetics are great, the lyrics are amazing and wild, the song sounds good and his singing voice is seriously underrated.
