Kristen BarenthalerPublished 5 years ago in BeatMy Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 4)
As you probably know by now, I love Bob Dylan. I didn't think I had to spell that one out for you. I love each album for its character and authentic sound. Knocked Out Loaded is a good album; you guys are just mean. Each album has credibility for being a great.

If the law of attraction is real, and we attract the thing with the same frequency we’re vibrating on, could it be that by listening to certain songs—vibrating on that frequency as you put your heart and soul in singing along with it—we’re telling the universe that is what we want? Everything in your life right now could then be a manifestation of your favorite song. Perhaps a childhood favorite, one that you sang over and over and over; one that you would still know by heart. What if the law of attraction is real and you’ve been vibrating to that song for years. The universe and its laws never fail, so you would have experienced it. Maybe you’re still experiencing it.

Bob Dylan's catalogue is expansive and, well, I've probably said many things about him by now. You're all probably sick to death of me talking about him, but you wouldn't be here if you really were, so I'll take that as a compliment. He's won Grammys, he's got a Golden Globe, and the man even has an Academy Award for the song "Things Have Changed."I will have to say that this series may be a bit longer to what you're used to of me. I love writing about Bob Dylan and sharing my love for him with everyone, and I would love to hear what you think of my articles and what your favourite Bob Dylan songs are too.
Annie KapurPublished 5 years ago in BeatGrowing Up with the Band
Every generation has their boybands that all the preteens fall in love with. We’ve heard of NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys, and even the Beatles. The Beatles came from Great Britain and paved the way for what's known as the British Invasion. Now, today’s generation has been taken over by yet another band from across the waters: One Direction. The band released their debut song “What Makes You Beautiful,” pushing themselves to the top of all charts around the globe. Over the next six years, not only did they grow up, so did the fans and their music. The band announced their hiatus in 2016, also releasing their last album with a song that sticks out, “History,” which is described as the band's anthem.

Bob Dylan's name is associated with quite possibly the greatest songwriter who has ever lived. From names like the King of Folk Rock, the God of Folk, the Voice of a Generation and even, if you're lucky, Robert Zimmerman. Bob Dylan's history has filled the memories of over four generations of humankind and will remain timeless throughout world history. He is one of the greatest and most talented people on this planet and near on every songwriter of his time and ours cannot hold a candle to him.
Annie KapurPublished 5 years ago in BeatA Song Turned to Protest
“Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life,” words written by the romantic writer Jean Paul Richter, and they are ever so true. There have been numerous gloomy historical events within America’s 242 years since its establishment. One gloomy event in particular was the Vietnam War, and this war also became known as "America’s First Rock n Roll War." Anti-war songs were almost on every musician’s album, played on every radio, and added fuel to fiery protests against the war all over the nation. There was a musical being preformed on Broadway promoting these ideas against war. Protesters plastered lyrics from anti-war songs on signs as their rally cry. War, any war, can shape and change many things for the people being effected by it, but the Vietnam War, while changing and shaping different things, did something very important: It changed music in the late 60s and early 70s that showed just how powerful music really was and is. This war helped define the rebellious way that is Rock n Roll.

I don't normally do personal lists, but this one is personal. If I've already spoken to you on social media then you probably know what is roughly going to appear on this list. Everyone knows how much I love and adore Bob Dylan and how much I love reading and writing about him. I love the way he sings in stories, as someone who holds degrees in this stuff (see my profile) I respect the talent he has and the intelligence he gives off.
