Tired
It’s been a couple of years since Squidge has released new music. With an outstanding response to their first EP, What’s The Point to Care? (including songs like "Disappear Reappear" and "On The Mend") and a lineup change, it’s a good job something is around the corner. And their next release is exciting.

I'm sitting at Shut Up and Write, I finished the screenplay I had been working on and started a short story I plan on submitting for publication. In preparation for this, I have a playlist on Apple Music to help my writing flow much easier. It works, and as I'm writing in a genre that I rarely get a chance to write in, I notice the female lead is badass.

Bob Dylan has been known to intelligently use autobiography in his songs, but there are several songs in which Bobcats and Dylanologists have no idea whether Dylan actually put himself into them, or if he was entirely separate. However, I personally believe that there are three modes to which Bob Dylan refers to himself within his songs and each one of these is entirely different to the last. They are:

Unfortunately for you, I'm no Dylanologist. I'm a Bobcat. The Bobcat is a curious creature—they appreciate Bob Dylan's music but they're not as smart as the Dylanologists who theorise and create books of extensive research on it. I would love to be one of them though, they seem real smart. Some famous Dylanologists include Harold Lepidus, Clinton Heylin, Seth Rogovoy, Scott Marshall, James Adams, and many, many more. These people are the staples of Dylanology. There are also a number of stations including: Dylan Radio, Definitely Dylan and the podcast "Is it Rolling, Bob?" that talk about various topics and play various things to do with Bob Dylan.

Bob Dylan is the beacon of hope for the music of the folk revival era. He is the stance of the great lyricist, the poet who writes personally about their own time and life rather than, what came before him—a string of impersonal songs about love. Bob Dylan experiments with dark lyrics, love songs of his own life, protest songs, songs that people have worked their entire lives trying to figure out and songs about things that only Bob Dylan could know.

Folk Rock and Southern Blues are so closely associated with artists from the 1960s and the 1970s, and even further back than that, such as: Bob Dylan, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Band, Woody Guthrie, Paul Simon, and many more in this field, that sometimes it can be difficult for someone like me to find new music to listen to.

Bob Dylan is one of the most timeless writers of music and lyrics who has ever lived. He is a magician of words and is able to write stories into his songs like no other person can. He has used numerous influences such as Moby Dick by Herman Melville, The Odyssey by Homer and even the Bible to write better, more epic songs in many different genres.

Eada HudesPublished 5 years ago in BeatA Beautiful Summer's Calling
1. "Seasons" by 6LACK ft. Khalid "Seasons" is the 13th song from the album East Atlanta Love Letter by 6LACK released in 2018. This gorgeous track also features vocals from Khalid which I believe also fits in the summertime mood I get from this song. With lyrics such as "A beautiful summer's calling," (a metaphor meaning better things coming in the future) how could you not miss that summer, and crave a wonderful future?
