Listening Guide In order to fully understand the dynamics of Bob Dylan’s song that I have chosen we must address the musical aspects in each song in order to come to that better understanding.
The Times They Are A-Changin’ Notice the timbre of the voice Find the stops and starts of the chorus Notice the instruments used
Like A Rolling Stone What key are we starting in? Does the timbre of the vocals seem different than other Dylan songs? Notice which instruments follow the beat and which lead
Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door Notice the pace of this song, almost as if a story is being told The length of time it takes for the first chorus What instruments are narrating the story when the vocals are not?
