About This Track

“Blowin’ in the Wind” is a song written by Bob Dylan and released on his 1963 album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. Although it has been described as a protest song, it poses a series of philosophical questions about peace, war, and freedom without supplying concrete answers. The refrain “The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind” has been described as “impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind”. The song makes no reference to a specific event.

There are many famous covers of Blowin’ in the Wind, and it is often regarded as one of the most covered songs of all time.

    How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man? Seven! Dad, it's a rhetorical question. Rhetorical ay? Eight! Do you even know what rhetorical means? Do I know what rhetorical means??

    In other words, "the truth surrounds us, if we're willing and able to recognize it". Dylan is a modern-day shaman.
