Dylan and Sedgwick...

Cuando llegue a mis 150 entradas e hice la lista del Spotify me di cuenta de una cosa: ninguna canción de Dylan de las que he subido al blog esta disponible en Spotify. "Habrá que solucionarlo" pensé. Y ayer encontré la escusa perfecta. En la versión digital del periodico "El País" se publico un articulo dedicado a la canción más importante de Bob Dylan: "Like a Rolling Stone". Para los que no lo sepan esta canción, [que trata sobre la vida de una chica que cae sin freno en el mundo de las drogas y muchos dicen que se inspira en la figura de Edie Sedgwick amiga y supuesta amante de Dylan], es considerada la mejor de la historia debido al punto de inflexión que creó en el panorama musical. Total, que hoy les dejo una entrada cuádruple : Primero, el link actualizado de la lista de este blog en Spotify; Segundo, el artículo sobre el himno de Dylan que os recomiendo ;Tercero, un link de Edie Segdwick, musa e ídolo de los años 60'; y Cuarto, la canción Like a Rolling Stone de Mister Bob Dylan.

¿ Qué tal esas vacaciones ? ;-)

Lyrics - Bob Dylan

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?
People’d call, say, “Beware doll, you’re bound to fall”
You thought they were all kiddin’ you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin’ out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You’ve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you’re gonna have to get used to it
You said you’d never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He’s not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain’t no good
You shouldn’t let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain’t it hard when you discover that
He really wasn’t where it’s at
After he took from you everything he could steal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They’re drinkin’, thinkin’ that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you’d better lift your diamond ring, you’d better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can’t refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You’re invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
