Treat Me
First, if you do not know who Image is, it is time for you to do your homework. He is a soft subtle mix reminiscent of Drake with a sprinkle of Bazzi, a real voice floating smooth runs, and honest relatable lyricism. His latest release, “Treat Me,” is no deviation from this recipe, painting a picture of relationship fallout through bluesy vocals on a trap beat. Here we look not only at the song itself, but the video as well, which I was privileged to preview before its release.

Ignorance Inside the Gates of Eden
“Gates of Eden” is one of those songs that all bobcats make the effort to learn all the words to off-by heart. It is one of those songs that is very difficult to figure out and many a Dylanologist and Bobcat has toiled away at finding different meanings within the song, including myself. I want to discuss this song in the way that it shows us ignorance. Especially the ignorance of the rich regarding the normal working person. This is a problem we as a society face today. Where Hollywood celebrities try their hardest to be ‘relatable’ by taking pictures of themselves eating pizza from a normal pizza place, or thinking that telling vulgar jokes on television is ‘relatable’ content. But in reality, they understand nothing of the normal working world. We know this, but they continuously make themselves look like idiots by discussing and preaching to us how we should be living our lives when they, in fact, are the most disconnected people in the world. Bob Dylan takes this, in his own time, and applies to to the rich-man Rockefeller-esque culture instead.

"Pay in Blood": The Revenge Tragedy?
Bob Dylan has many songs that people do not really listen to enough and one of those is “Pay in Blood” from the album “Tempest”. Until “Rough and Rowdy Ways” came out this year, “Tempest” was the last album to have new and original content by Bob Dylan and is not a cover album, a bootleg etc.

"Don't Fall Apart on Me Tonight" is underrated...
“Don’t Fall Apart on Me Tonight” is one of the most underrated songs of Bob Dylan’s eighties career. As a song on the album “Infidels”, it often gets ignored in favour of the song in which Bob Dylan criticises the moon landing - “License to Kill”. Or even the song in which Bob Dylan talks about how all of his stuff is from different countries all over the world - “Union Sundown”. It gets ignored in favour of Bob Dylan basically talking to himself in “Jokerman” and how you should not trust everyone who means well in “Man of Peace”. The songs of Infidels ignore this strange love song which is not actually a love song at all. It is a criticism of love and a criticism of the different things that people can love apart from each other. When confronted with this fault, we are bound to fall apart and yet, we cannot change this.

"The earth is strung with lovers' pearls..."
The song "Dark Eyes" by Bob Dylan will be the focus of this article. I think that initially, it is important to look at where this is possibly set. The setting seems to be in some time of war, because we have ‘gentlemen’ and we have ‘soldiers’. The ‘gentlemen’ obviously are not the ones going to war, so they can drink and have a great time, whilst the images of the soldiers are rather solitary and isolated, normally very melancholy and quiet in comparison to their counterparts. The narrator states that they have to leave the gentlemen to go somewhere else, as if trying to observe both sides of the coin of society in these troubled times:

Eclectic Collective EC001
Hi! I'm a music addict and part-time producer hailing from the sunny UK. I felt it was time to share some of the gems I'm lucky enough to unearth every week with the world, and hopefully connect some people with music that's a little off-piste but that they can still enjoy. I'll be touching on a variety of aspects, from sounds through to connections, and of course the best mood (in my opinion) for listening. Here goes...
