The song’s structural freedom and mesmerizing arrangement – a dusting of piano, a lilting violin, distant percussion – feel like fresh territory for Dylan, occasionally evoking Van Morrison at his most mystical. Its themes of doom – and possible redemption – feel alarmingly in tune with our current moment, which may have prompted Dylan to choose it for release.
“The day they killed him, someone said to me, son, the age of the Antichrist has just only begun,” Dylan sings. “The soul of a nation’s been torn away, and it’s beginning to go into a slow decay… It’s 36 hours past judgement day.” In its prayer-like final passages , Dylan invokes the DJ Wolfman Jack before dropping a long list of songs and musicians, from John Lee Hooker to Guitar Slim to Bud Powell to Stevie Nicks to Don Henley to Dickey Betts to Thelonious Monk, and even mentions Billy Joel’s “Only the Good Die Young.” Oh, and somewhere in there, he nods toIt’s unclear if the song is connected to a new album, though there were murmurs of such a project earlier this year.

Thought we’d be in for a lot of bad quarantine art — didn’t expect this. Thank you bob.
Pretentiously terrible if you’re gna talk just make a podcast. Just another argument it didn’t take much back then to be famous musically and before you argue remember phish used a vacuum....To be fair when you’re on acid everything’s great
clem_burke your Rag is So Sad.
Absolutely glorious
m0vemebrightly Big Dylan fan as I am, this one doesnt make the cut.
Song? It’s a goddamn podcast!
JohnFugelsang Praying for coherency....lol
I love Bob Dylan and I know his sycophant cult will proclaim this song as yet another masterpiece, but seriously what a rambling incoherent train wreck my ears just endured... I'm going to listen to 'Highway 61 Revisited' to purge this mess from my soul
Could this be an indication of a new album? Hopefully.
Trump is the new JFK.
Isn’t the world suffering enough?
Mind numbing more likely

Mesmerizingly beautiful.
Prick
Asshole. . Wish I'd never heard of the man
Must say that liarosemusic singing BobDylan's 'The Times They Are A-Changing' yesterday at the end this webinar with NaomiAKlein KeeangaYamahtta astradisastra & TheLeap_Org StrikeDebt haymarketbooks had words from 1964 that seem prophetic today:

Wow!

A SEVENTEEN MINUTE BOB DYLAN TRACK? Life, even during this wretched period of isolation, is too short. :)
Thanks Bob
Bob has always written about the evil of the deep state I say...he's releasing this last parting shot at them because he knows....it's getting dark, now One last stab into the heart of the evil deep state
Oh c'mon, only 17 minutes? That's still a quickie song to me! 🤠
Outdated band pics linked to new releases irks me. Time for a new file photo.
Extraordinary.
JohnFugelsang Good to hear from him hope he’s ok healthy it was so sad poetic, America’s ugly past being brought back in such a powerful way only he can do , but I love Bob Dylan .
Does he mention MOSSAD?
‘If I keep going I’m sure to get off a couple of good lines’, thinks Zimmy.
“Song” is quite a stretch...
The greatest artist of all time in any genre or field. No doubt.
night_NYC Unfortunately not a well written song. Should have kept this one in the vault . It really hurts to hear a true master pounding out forced rhyme.
How many chords?
I wonder how long it took him to write that
Brilliant. American Pie for the Kennedy Assassination.
This is really ominous... idk is this connected. Q qanon
JohnFugelsang Wow!
If I want to listen to somebody mumble incoherently for 17 minutes, I'll just listen to Trump. Pass
There’s only one Bob ✌️
Or listen to your Grandfather gargle for 17 min.
Maestro.
Whoa. Wow.
JohnFugelsang Pass.
Song of the year
JohnFugelsang 17 minute song? Dafug? A 17 minute Dylan song? C'mon! that's gonna be nails on a chalkboard at around 3 minutes in. I don't care how much one loves Dylan. He's no Pink Floyd. 17 minutes of PF, yeah! Dylan? GTFOOH.
Soupelina Well done, Bob. Hope you're well. Trump is a murderer.
no thanks
