Some of Bob Dylan's songs reach deep, for me, particularly this one: The
lyrics combined with their delivery get me, time after time. I can meditate on it.
Now I know that a lot of the words are drawn from the Bible, but before I knew the Bible I was being touched by this song. Why?
Why do some songs/words/music touch us, while others don't?

I don't know - maybe it struck a chord with something you were familiar with, but knew not from whence it came?
Anyway, great track - another good 'un from that album is "In the Summertime." Again, somehow familiar.

It's good to meet someone else who enjoys it, Mark Betts.
It's more like a hymn to me than a song.
I don't know what I don't know, hence the thread. All ideas are welcome. I don't think that the words struck a chord of familiarity when I first heard it, although they do now. It could be that the harmonica resonates, as I'm told my father used to play one, although he gave it up before my childhood memories kick in.
I only know that it touches me deeply, not in the mind as much as in the soul/spirit?
