Hello.
00:02 - 00:05
We are going to introduce your song Bob Dylan
00:05 - 00:12
called Blowing in the Wind Whiten in 1962.
00:12 - 00:19
In the first part, we part. We will see the context when the song was white. Um,
00:19 - 00:24
and in a second part, we are going to analyst
00:24 - 00:30
some verses of the song as Bob Dylan was born
00:30 - 00:36
in May 24 1941 in Dollar to Minnesota to Green,
00:36 - 00:40
which rage the bohemian neighbourhood of New York.
00:40 - 00:44
While singers, artists and political activists coexists,
00:45 - 00:52
he starts playing it in cafes, alone with his guitar and harmonica.
00:53 - 00:57
It was one afternoon in the spring of 1962
00:58 - 01:01
that the Sun Blowing the Wind was born
01:02 - 01:07
after a political discussion, some thoughts of quickly
01:08 - 01:09
put on paper,
01:10 - 01:15
then arranged in music in just 10 minutes.
01:15 - 01:18
They were really the most famous British sound.
01:19 - 01:24
A few weeks later, Dylan waltz into a studio and record.
01:24 - 01:30
The song, which will be released for the first time, was a year later
01:31 - 01:34
on his groundbreaking album, The Fairway.
01:34 - 01:35
Bob Dylan,
01:37 - 01:43
his folks spirited attitude and a half.
01:43 - 01:48
So I've spoken voice while poetry, a numinous commitment planned
01:49 - 01:52
always on the road.
01:52 - 01:57
Dylan will not cease to confuse the issue of his supposed commitments,
01:57 - 02:01
refusing to be the hero of several generations.
02:02 - 02:05
This isn't a protest song or anything like that,
02:06 - 02:09
because I don't try protest songs.
02:09 - 02:17
This is how Bob Dylan introduced one of the most eloquent protest song ever written
02:18 - 02:21
in this song, Back the Land Ordinances.
02:21 - 02:30
What he considers to be the world's flower in Maine kind and differences.
02:31 - 02:36
It is in a context of, uh, departure from the Vietnam War.
02:36 - 02:44
Russia will discrimination or injustice and the social taboos of, uh,
02:44 - 02:50
well as the struggles of the civil, uh,
02:50 - 02:54
rights movement that this song will embody this
02:54 - 03:00
new generation of protesters of the sixties.
03:00 - 03:05
Then, in a full, uh, search for itself,
03:06 - 03:07
it is true.
03:07 - 03:17
It's poetic and somebody dimension that this song has become an essential him.
03:17 - 03:25
Dylan launches a real Kel for freedom with the American government,
03:25 - 03:27
needs rock shoots for this.
03:27 - 03:28
While
03:29 - 03:32
which is the racking in Vietnam,
03:34 - 03:43
Tools developed it in the United States, the hippie movement which advocates
03:43 - 03:48
to advocate love, peace and freedom.
03:48 - 03:50
In addition,
03:50 - 03:58
many religious congregation have adopted the peace in their celebrations,
03:59 - 04:03
well composed and performed by a white man.
04:03 - 04:10
The song quickly established itself in the African American community
04:10 - 04:16
as one of the aims of the civil rights movement.
04:16 - 04:28
Bob Dylan will receive in 2016, then, uh, 75 years old Nobel Prize for literature.
04:29 - 04:30
Sure.
04:31 - 04:31
Okay.
04:31 - 04:32
Mm.
04:32 - 04:39
Uh, the song is composed of three stands. Does it composed of eight verses.
04:39 - 04:42
Each verse is includes a question.
04:42 - 04:48
This question with always the same answer constitutes the chorus, uh,
04:48 - 04:52
is inspired by a folk song called No More Auction Block,
04:52 - 04:56
sung by former slaves slaves who decided to immigrate
04:56 - 05:00
to Canada when Britain announced the evolution of slavery.
05:01 - 05:04
Now let's analyse some verses of the song.
05:05 - 05:10
So, uh, university, uh,
05:10 - 05:12
Dillon says yes. And
05:13 - 05:18
And how many cities must white dog sale before she sleeps in the sand?
05:18 - 05:23
Um, Dylan uses the dove as a symbol of peace.
05:23 - 05:29
To show that this count rest because of all these incessant fights.
05:29 - 05:33
He also says yes.
05:33 - 05:39
And how many times must be cannonballs fly before they're forever banned?
05:40 - 05:41
Um,
05:41 - 05:44
in this verse verse,
05:44 - 05:50
Dylan didn't see the legality of murders in a time of war and
05:50 - 05:56
allow and law on the carrying of weapons in the United States,
05:56 - 05:58
uh,
05:58 - 06:02
in the other things he said Yes.
06:02 - 06:07
And how many years can some people exist before they are allowed to be free?
06:07 - 06:15
Here, uh, this world refers to humans, human rights and segregation here.
06:15 - 06:18
He didn't see the oppression against ethnic minorities.
06:19 - 06:20
Um,
06:20 - 06:21
he,
06:21 - 06:26
um universe, he say yes.
06:26 - 06:33
And how many deaths will it takes till he knows that too many people have died?
06:33 - 06:34
Uh, here,
06:34 - 06:40
The land challenge challenges the politicians who continue the Vietnam War
06:40 - 06:43
as the president. As a president,
06:44 - 06:45
gentlemen,
06:45 - 06:51
this shows that too much life has been sacrificed for war and that
06:51 - 06:59
we realise the power of war when we look at its human consequences.
06:59 - 07:04
As a conclusion, we can say that this song had no Protestant bearing,
07:04 - 07:08
but finally it touched the hurt of the of
07:08 - 07:14
the population and became an unintentionally an international,
07:14 - 07:15
revel
07:15 - 07:18
revolutionary. And then
07:18 - 07:25
that advocates freedom from its poetic and human humanistic side.
07:25 - 07:29
It still touches a large number of people today.
07:30 - 07:36
Its words are and will remain current, indeed, racism, the consequences,
07:36 - 07:38
the consequences,
07:38 - 07:43
the consequence of the legalisation of fire arms
07:43 - 07:47
or the insistent fighting that you know,
07:47 - 07:48
some people
