“Sometimes you know things have to change, or are going to change, but you can only feel it. Like in that Sam Cooke song, “Change is Gonna Come”. But you don’t know it in a purposeful way. Little things foreshadow whats coming, but you may not recognize them. But then something immediate happens and you’re in another world, you jump into the unknown, you have an instinctive understanding of it. You’re set free.”
Bob Dylan
connect the pieces
“Folk songs were the way I explored the universe. They were pictures, and the pictures were worth more than anything I could say. I knew the inner substance of the thing. I could easily connect the pieces. Most of the other performers tried to put themselves across, rather than the song. But I didn’t care about doing that. With me it was about putting the song across.”
– Bob Dylan (Chronicles (Volume One))
