The warm weather's comin', the buds are on the vine

Entry for June 03, 2008

Bob Dylan's "Modern Times" album contains a song that expresses my situation. The only swaping out of symbols is to replace his "woman" with a picture of the modern world system of economy. I don't think this is too much of a stretch since the prophet Zachariah saw a vision of this very symbol swaping.

the woman in the basket is the world economy of: work = gain.

So, this in mind, hearing the Dylan song humbled me.

The entire song, as well as the albulm is full of Biblical symbols and can't be fully understood without a deep knowledge of the Bible.

Dylan song:

I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long Woke up this mornin', I must have bet my money wrong I got troubles so hard, I can't stand the strain I got troubles so hard, I just can't stand the strain Some young lazy slut has charmed away my brains The landscape is glowin', gleamin' in the golden light of day The landscape is glowin', gleamin' in the gold light of day I ain't holding nothin' back now, I ain't standin' in anybody's way Well, I did all I know just to keep you off my mind Well, I did all I know just to keep you off my mind Well, I paid and I paid and my sufferin' heart is always on the line Well, I get up in the dawn and I go down and lay in the shade I get up in the dawn and I go down and lay in the shade I ain't nobody's house boy, I ain't nobody's well trained maid I'm flat out spent, this woman been drivin' me to tears I'm flat out spent, this woman she been drivin' me to tears This woman so crazy, I swear I ain't gonna touch another one for years Well, the warm weather is comin' and the buds are on the vine The warm weather's comin', the buds are on the vine Ain't nothing so depressing as trying to satisfy this woman of mine I got up this mornin', saw the rising sun return Well, I got up this mornin', seen the rising sun return Sooner or later you too shall burn The night's filled with shadows, the years are filled with early doom The night's filled with shadows, the years are filled with early doom I've been conjuring up all these long dead souls from their crumblin' tombs Let's forgive each other darlin', let's go down to the greenwood glen Let's forgive each other darlin', let's go down to the greenwood glen Let's put our heads together, let's put old matters to an end Now I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long Ah, I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long I woke up this morning, I think I must be travelin' wrong Copyright © 2006 Special Rider Music
