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 is the stage name of Robert Allen Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan. The album "John Wesley Harding", released in 1967, marks a turning point in his musical career. After the explosion of folk rock and the social protests of the 1960s, Dylan moves away from more electric and engaged sounds to embrace a more introspective and minimalist country-folk style. The album features songs like "All Along the Watchtower", "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" and "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine", which reflect a more personal and poetic approach, with lyrics often dark and enigmatic. The influence of country music is evident in simple arrangements and catchy melodies. John Wesley Harding represents a transitional phase for Dylan, marking the beginning of a musical journey that will lead him to explore new genres and sounds.
