Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZfaq, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZfaq. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZfaq, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.
If you enjoy this video and my reactions make sure you subscribe to the channel, like the video and comment down below which video you would like to see me react to next.
This is a reaction video used to educate and give my feedback on the song and artists.

This song is just as fresh and relevant to the times now as it was then. Dylan has been a treasure, a gift of the boomer generation to those who come after.

@Cheryltwin2012 10 ай бұрын

You have to consider that Bob was still a very young man when he wrote this song. I wonder if he knew that, over 60 years later, it would still be relevant to the times we're living in?

I was 13 when The Times They Are a Changing came out in 1965; it was written around the time of Blowin’ In The Wind in 1963. I took the words of Changing to my father as Dylan had hoped; after all he had written it for people like me. It served as a warning to our elders that war had to cease and be aware - "Your sons and your daughters / Are beyond your command" - that this enlightened generation I belonged to would see to that change. During the 60s the two most powerful politicians in America that wanted no more war were assassinated and the man most likely to heal race divisions of that country met with the same fate. By the end of the 1960s Bob Dylan had grown up and moved on to other forms of music and forgotten his failed prophecy. I failed my medical after conscription called me up for Vietnam and avoided death or permanent PTSD; a most likely outcome having heard first hand accounts from returned soldiers. If you wish, you can see his words in today’s context; but back then they subdued the populace by flooding the country and youth with drugs. Today they are using more severe methods to keep down the population and nobody of Dylan’s vision is there to lead us towards a Change is Gonna Come. I wanted so much to believe, but compare today's events with 1965 and tell me what's changed...

Having grown up in a very tumultuous time (60s) in our nation and hearing these songs then, so much a fabric of the times. It amazes me how relevant they still are today. Saddens me, in many instances, that we haven't learned and grown more than we have. Love your reactions in general, but your Dylan reactions especially - he's been a favorite of mine for many, many years. Have all his albums in a box on my shelf (along with all the original Beatles albums, from Capital before Apple came into the picture - my treasures!). Keep 'em coming!

@Hexon66 Жыл бұрын

It's less that we haven't learned or grown, it's that the forces against change (back from Goldwater through Reagan and to the current lunatics), have skillfully learned and grown and fought to oppose progress, equality and justice for all. Presumably, if their slogans are to believed, to a time they believe when things were great. At least for them anyway.

here in my country (Brazil), there was a singer who had a song about it "Belchior" was his name and the song is "Como Nossos Pais" (released in 1976) I highly recommend listening to this song One of the themes of the song is that even though we've done everything we've done, we're still like our parents. one of the reasons he wrote this song was that the whole movement that was created in the 60's had become like the people that the movement itself was criticizing. This song also talks about the military dictatorship (established by the USA) in our country (many consider him the Brazilian Bob Dylan)

Hi. your analysis of this song is spot on has been mine too since this song came out. I love Bob Dylan. I subscribed bc of your willingness to listen to Dylan. I'm staying because of your admiration for Dylan... I gotta say not having heard this song in a while the 'Senators, Congressmen please heed the call' verse.. .after the attack on the capitol.. just wow. It made me take the verse literally ..there's a battle outside raging..it'll burst your windows & rattle your walls.😢that was scary.

The irony is that many members of Bob's and my revolutionary/ protest/ love and peace generation are now struggling with various aspects of today's culture and politics. Which just shows we shouldn't be too arrogant in how we criticise others - or too smug when we congratulate ourselves on the improvements we've brought about over our parents' generation. It's not just that we eventually 'become our enemy' (as Bob wrote in My Back Pages) but even if we remained true to our ideals, after many long years of struggle to get them generally accepted, we now find ourselves in a world where many of those ideals are routinely trashed and trampled over by a new generation of ambitious politicians, 'influencers' and aggressively contrarian/ anti-establishment conspiracy enthusiasts. It's we who are now 'the [villainous] Establishment' in their eyes. These new firebrands actually remind me quite often of the more extreme fringes of the 60s revolution, who spouted hate and gleefully espoused violent revolution/ the tearing down of every vestige of current Establishment in their quest to create a better (more peaceful/ loving?!) world.

Truely a timeless piece. A message that now seems lost with politicians today, notably with many of these anti trans bills. If I, as a freshly turned adult ever got to deliver a message to congress all I would do is play this song.

i understand he wrote the song to the back drop of civil rights and vietnam. but times have changed, and with that so has the meaning of the song. the song is now about all aspects of change from generation to generation and is still so good because you can apply it to almost anything. for example. Youth: do you understand why a person might want to identify as someone other than a boy or a girl? Older generation: no. i dont understand that. you either a boy or a girl. i dont understand why these people keep talking crazy. Youth: well mothers and fathers through out the land, dont criticise what you dont understand. it seems to me that so many people of older generations claim to love bob dylan but ignore every word he said. but young people love bob. always have. always will.

The 60s were a time of vast change, with a large push of free thought and equality by the teens and adolescents of that time. Those same people who pushed for that change are now at the top, resisting the modern era. This is especially true with trans people today, as it was with black people in the 60s. As an 18 year old a close friend to a trans person, and a strong ally to the trans community I see it growing ever more. Many of these anti trans bills being passed in the country are merely based on hatred, rather than love and science, the two driving forces for the 60s. As Dylan stated it is a cycle. Young people are often very liberal, slowly growing more conservative as they age; with the more life lived the harder it is to accept change. The politicans of today, many of the how grew up in and fought for equal rights in the 60s need to take a step back; remembering their past experiences; what they fought for as youth; how now, much like then, the times are a changin, and they never will stop.

The most powerful part of this song to me is the last verse. Its basically scripture from the Bible, where Jesus was talking about how when his kingdom comes everything will be flipped and the powerful now will later be the weak. As relevant as this song was in the 60s its also relevant in Bible times as well as the future.

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children. And he said: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable. " On Children" from Kahlil Gibran's - The Prophet -

In less than 10 years my generation was blessed with Elvis, Bob Dylan, and the Beatles. If you grew up with them you know what a special time the 60's were. They don't refer to Bob Dylan as the poet of a generation for nothing. Dylan's catalog of songs is truly mind boggling. I've heard critics for 60 yrs say they can't stand Dylan's singing voice. I love Dylan's voice for Dylan songs. But that's not the point. When you listen to Dylan and focus on his singing, you're missing the main attraction of the song.
