ALL ALONG MY WATCH TOWER...Bob Dylan

BOB DYAN

JIMI HENDRIX

Merveilleuse chanson ? Poème ? Délire suréaliste ou psychédélique ? Elle a été reprise par beaucoup de chanteurs Rock , fait partie des classiques

C'est surtout Jimy Hendrix qui l' a rendu célèbre , si bien que Dylan s'est inspiré de lui pour lui une autre version musicale

Aprés avoir été un leader Folk, Dylan était devenu un " folk rocker" au grand désespoir de ses fans, " pur jus, ringuard "

Il eut un accident de moto , il s 'est assagit et a repris sa guiare séche , et, a écrit cette chanson dans un album acoustique :

“ALL ALONG MY WATCH TOWER”

THERE MUST BE SOME WAY OUT OF HERE

SAID THE JOCKER TO THE THIEF

THERE IS TOO MUCH CONFUSION

I CAN T GET NE RELIEF

BUSYNESS MEN, THEY DRINCK MY WINE

PLOW MEN, THEY DRINCK MY EARTH

NONE OF THEM ALONG THE LINE

KNOW WHAT ANY OF IT IS WORTH

NO REASON TO GET EXITED,

THE THIEF, HE KINDLY SPOKE

THERE ARE A MANY HERE AMONG US

WHO FEEL THAT LIFE IS BUT A JOKE

BUT, YOU AND I ,WE VE BEEN THRU THAT

AND THIS IS NOT OUR FATE

SO, LET US TALK NOW FALSY NOW

THE HOUR IS GETTING LATE

ALL ALONG MY WATCH TOWER

PRINCES KEPT THE VIEW

WHILE THE WOMEN CAME AND WENT

BARE FOOT SERANTS TOO

OUT SIDE IN THE DISTANCE

A WILD CAT DID GROWL

TWO RIDERS WERE APPROCHING

THE WIND BEGAN TO HOWL
