The messenger came with bad news from the front
Said the soldiers are starving and their swords are all blunt
They need a show of support or some futile sign
Thats what they told me to tell you, not even the words are mine...
The messenger came with bad news from the war
Said the fine young men forgot who they were fighting for
They dont wanna be stars on your tv screen
Thats the general feeling, please dont blame it on me
And the people said one and one is two
Theres nothing left for us to do
But since we can blame it all on you
We will kill the messenger
The messenger came with bad news from the town
Said the phone-lines are on strike and the doormen are all down
Theyve turned your den of thieves into a temple
They need someone of stature to set them an example
And the people said two and two is four
Dont tell us anymore
We all know the score
We must kill the messenger
Someone brought the news to the messengers folks
He said your sons been killed two times
They said is that a joke?
He said no
He was he victim of ignorant minds
I hate to bring such bad news, please dont think me unkind
And the family said one and one is two
Theres nothing left for us to do
But since youre here and we can blame it on you
We will kill the messenger
So if you want to send a message...
John Wesley Harding è il nome d'arte di Robert Allen Zimmerman, meglio conosciuto come Bob Dylan. L'album "John Wesley Harding", pubblicato nel 1967, segna un cambio di direzione nella sua carriera musicale. Dopo l'esplosione del folk rock e le proteste sociali degli anni '60, Dylan si allontana da sonorità più elettriche e impegnate per abbracciare uno stile country-folk più introspettivo e minimalista. L'album presenta canzoni come "All Along the Watchtower", "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" e "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine", che riflettono un approccio più personale e poetico, con testi spesso oscuri e enigmatici. L'influenza del country music è evidente in arrangiamenti semplici e melodie orecchiabili. John Wesley Harding rappresenta una fase di transizione per Dylan, segnando l'inizio di un percorso musicale che lo porterà a esplorare nuovi generi e sonorità.
