Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone

Here is our cover version and arrangement of one of the all time greatest songs ever written, Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone". It is such an incredible song in so many different ways; of course, Bob Dylan's lyrics are superb as usual, he is the undisputed poet laureate of rock music. But "Like A Rolling Stone" really stands out as a landmark musical achievement; the song is basically just a C major scale, going up in the first half of the verses, C, Dm, Em, F, G, and then, as if you needed more proof that Dylan is a genius, it goes straight back down again, (F), G, F, Em, Dm, C. It's so simple, but so wonderful, because nobody else had ever thought of doing such a thing, and that is why Dylan is a musical genius, and such a huge influence. Every song written after this one, and indeed every musician, owed something to this song, whether they were aware of it or not. "Like A Rolling Stone" broke down the barrier which said popular songs had to be three minutes maximum, with it's 6 minute plus duration. And it also destroyed the idea that to sing you had to have a technically brilliant voice; Bob Dylan's rough, American drone had just as much power and emotion as any other more professional singer.

Whichever way you look at it, this song is an incredible achievement, but most importantly, it's a wonderful song.

This is fantastic guys, the only cover version of this that I love. I would even say this is as good as, if not better than the original. I stopped listening to the original on my ipod as it just didn't match up. Keep up the great work

@1690ftp1 Hey thanks so much for that comment 1690ftp1, we really appreciate it!!!! We're very flattered, any comparison to Bob is an excellent compliment, especially when one says we have bettered Bob! That really means a lot, thanks very much :) Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks again for the comment :D

It's a little bit fast. But it's a nice cover!

[shcorporation]

@lawchihei Thanks mate, we didnt want it to be exactly the same as the orig, defeats the purpose of a cover.

Thanks very much for the suggestion, and for your kind comment :D
