The answer is blowing in the wind

The Philosophy of Modern Song

“What’s important is what’s in a song that makes you feel about your own life.”
Reflecting on society through music and navigating life through philosophy: Bob Dylan's playlist and sources of inspiration
| 66 classic songs + over 150 full-color illustrations |
————————————————————————
Blowing in the Wind is Bob Dylan's first new work since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. He began writing the book in 2010 and continued it for over a decade. In this new volume, he offers remarkable insights into the context and essence of 66 carefully selected works of modern popular music. Through the music of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Little Richard, Cher, The Who, The Temptations, and others, Dylan not only offers readers a personal playlist of modern popular music but also uses these works to present a kaleidoscopic portrait of 20th-century America. As a wry observer, Dylan is filled with affection and passion for these songs and the fascinating people and stories behind them. These essays are more than just music reviews; they are filled with wisdom, insight, and originality. You can almost hear Dylan's voice emerging from the pages, with emotional fantasies and confessions, as well as rational interpretations and revelations.
