One of the songs I constantly listen to is All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan, from his 8:th album, John Wesley Harding, which was released in 1967. The album is life-elixir to me, as well as his 30:th album "Time Out of Mind".
To me, Dylan somehow incarnates the beauty of simplicity, and the tinge of incompleteness, the haunting feeling of something left for you to fill in... I can't really explain it, the way Dylan awakens strong emotions in me... The listener is left in an evocative space, where dreams and memories come to life.
It's a great source of inspiration.
All Along the Watchtower fills me with an euphoric, apocalyptic feeling. It's like some great riddle hides within the song.
Then Imagine my thrill when, a couple of weeks ago, I saw Battlestar Galactica, my favourite series, and a cover of All Along the Watchtower is used in the end of the third season as an important key for things to come. It was like the episode was made just for me!
