The opener, and perhaps the most famous song in rock history, 'Like A Rolling Stone,' is a stellar example of the Dylan formula. Each song, no matter the length, holds the weight of the world inside it, due to Dylan's transcendent lyricism and inexplicable, uncanny ability to weave such a deceptively simple tune with an immeasurable amount of hidden depth. While listening to Highway 61 Revisited was a cathartic experience for me, it still would have been nearly as, or just as special as it is to me. It exposed itself to me when I was about ten years old, when my infatuation with music was not yet ablaze, and my delicate ears would not bear to be disturbed by anything that didn't top the charts. It's the album that has stuck with me for my whole life, and will, as long as I am alive. The most personal and affecting album for me is Highway 61 Revisited. This is the beauty of music: its extremely subjectivity allows us to encounter the genius in an album others might not see, therefore giving you and the music a very personal relationship. Usually, however, they don't share the same opinion as you. Our friends are exasperated by our fruitless yet incessant attempts to foist our very strong opinions about the album unto them, to force them to enjoy the album at least half as much as we do. It's all we think of for weeks or even months, having a permanent spot in our CD players. What else is there in the world that has as much power as music does?Įveryone once in a while, if we look hard enough, we find an album that completely knocks us out. People are constantly exploring the vast ocean that is music, attempting to find the next band that will affect us deeply, whether it's emotionally or in the way we act or think. We move on, and consume the next one, ravenous as we are. How does music manage to sweep us off our feet time and time again? Each time we uncover the genius of an album, our ears devour it till there is no more left.
