Music by Bob Dylan

I went ahead and listened to most of the songs in Bob Dylan's album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. All of his music is light and good for easy listening, but they also all allude to fighting in the Vietnam War. For example, in the song A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, Bob Dylan depicts the war as something that is terrible as a way of protesting the war, especially in the last verse. This is part of the final verse: "I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest, Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, Where the executioner's face is always well hidden, Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten, Where black is the color, where none is the number." He makes it sound depressing, which is something that obviously going to be experienced at the time. The soldiers were fighting in a war that they could see was going no where.
