I Shall Be Released
Hive Open Mic week 143 Voice of Hope.
My cover of Bob Dylan's iconic song, covered by just about everybody, The Band, Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, the Youngbloods, Joe Cocker Bette Midler etc
Rolling Stone magazine ranked "I Shall Be Released" 6th on a list of the "100 Greatest Bob Dylan Songs". An article accompanying the list calls it a "simple, evocative tale of a prisoner yearning for freedom" and a "rock hymn."
The song I Shall be Released
The lyrics
Here are the lyrics:
They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Hmm a nice cover dear fellow you have done a great job. Thanks for sharing ☺️
Thank you very much Akmal it's a great song alright
You are welcome ☺️
A great song nicely done.
Thank you very much
Bob has been so prolific and must be one of the most covered artists. In some cases I prefer the covers to the original :) I know some people who love playing his songs, but I only know the 'hits' really.
Rock on!
!PIZZA
He really is one of the most covered - Like All Along the Watchtower is so much better by Hendrix
Cheers
Some people, including my better half, just can't get past Dylan's voice. I do love Like a Rolling Stone.
Now, if only Hendrix had lived longer...
I wonder what he'd be doing. It is said that he wanted to play with Miles Davis .. that would have been a collab
We can only imagine. He did so much in just a few years. I've lived twice as long and made less music :)
Brilliant cover with an excellent voice to match!
Love it!
Thank you Anna!
