Song of the Day: It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)

It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding) by the one and only Bob Dylan. A song that many consider a masterpiece, it features some of Dylan’s most memorable lyrical imagery. Coming in at 7 minutes and 30 seconds, I’m sure this song never touched the radio but it’ still one of the more popular song by Dylan. Bob Dylan himself has even said that this is one of his favorite songs that he’s wrote and he played it over 700 times in concert. I’m not sure what’s more impressive, being able to write this song or actually being able to remember all 15 verses of this song and sing it. The lyrics truly are something else and I feel like an English class could devote a whole week just to dissecting this song and the lyrics. The lyrics are that in-depth.
