If you’ve ever said to yourself, “how the hell did they write these songs?” or “I wish I could do that,” it’s comforting to know that Bob Dylan feels exactly the same way.

Bob Dylan worked with Bob Johnston. I set mics for Bob Johnston while he was working with Roy Buchanan. I said to Johnston "Dylan was so good anybody could have recorded him." Johnston replied to me " I did it and didn't fuck it up." I said to Johnston "That is the perfect answer." We both laughed. Johnston's whole philosophy was to capture the signal and let the artist be himself. He did Dylan's first six albums. Simon and Garfunkel's first two albums. He was on the road with Leonard Cohen for 6 years. My job was to shut up and listen. We didn't talk about anything that wasn't absolutely necessary to capture the signal.

Dylan gave us everything he had. And he’s still giving. This is a rare case where we get to see an extraordinary artist actually live out and fulfill his complete promise. Because if he died in 1967 we would all be saying… If only he had lived, what profound poetry he could’ve shared with us. Every artist and every human being goes through ages stages and phases… And Dylan has had some hits and misses… But it’s been a blessing to have him… A living national treasure. and the human being just living out his life and finding new ways of being creative. God bless Bob Dylan.❤

As a 34 year old man who was writing songs in his early teens, when you write a song it's like a snapshot of where you are emotionally, logically, spiritually at that time in your life. Life changes your perspective over the years. Sometimes we become more creative, sometimes we become less. Back when I was a teenager all the way into my early 20's, I wrote songs almost exclusively about breakups but then I lost my mom and since then I have realized that nobody is entitled to happiness and sometimes life is just cruel and there's nothing you can do about it but heal as best you can and hope the next disaster doesn't sweep what's left of you away. Anyway, when I wrote it was almost always to explore how I felt about something that moved me and at 34, nothing much moves me anymore. You eventually become cynical to protect yourself from pain and that pain has always been where my songwriting has come from. Now, the question I struggle with is whether the pain is worth the inspiration when I'm already just barely hanging on as it is. I'm not sure if Dylan's problem is the same as mine, but my point is that as you get older and learn more about yourself and the world around you, there's less wonderment about why things are the way they are and you become more critical of your own takes.

Ok here’s my theory. If anyone cares. So all songwriters experience what you’ve described there but Dylan is a little different. Most songs are about something or someone and the writer can articulate the meaning, not Bobby’s stuff. If you watch interviews where he’s asked what his songs mean he totally avoids the question or gets downright annoyed. Bruce Springsteen had a few songs like this like does this bud stop at 42nd street where he just rhymes to nowhere. I personally don’t think there’s any hidden meaning behind his work but most folks just can’t accept that. Love dylan, don’t look too closely, enjoy.

I’m a songwriter on the side though I had a 30-year sabbatical from it. I have written some very, very good songs even in my old age, but I cannot make it happen. Never could. Instead I’ll usually henoodling on guitar and a simple chord progression will generate a simple, short fragment of a melody and it sticks in my mind. Then over the next one to three days as that melodic phrase rolls through my mind often, especially in the shower, words will come out of nowhere and attach to it. They may be simple or profound but they stick. But there is no greater theme or purpose yet. But there is a very general emotion to it. I’ll get the guitar and more melody and word phrases start tp flow more quickly. Suddenly a message focus emerges and it starts zooming together. It can be finished in hours. Or less. Sometimes it starts when I’m asleep. I often wake up at night with my hands playing air guitar. In the morning I’ll have part of a chorus or first verse written. I once awakened with two verses and a chorus written in Spanish to a Christian faith song played in the style of Mexican folk music. (Yes, I speak decent Spanish.) But I do get the idea that you’re channeling something other than yourself at times. The “muse” comes and it goes as it will. I can’t make it come. And when it does, I can’t NOT respond to it.

As a musician I've had a similar experience. This is apparent for most artists/creative types. Eddie Van Halen and Devin Townsend have said as much regarding their own creativity. It's like the music writes itself while the musician plays the role of medium. And that creative energy (from guys like Dylan at least) goes on to change the course of history and everything to come. It's interesting as well how it's often purely intuitive, there's not much in the way of thinking going on.

Such is the "magic" of youth. A beautiful, flickering flame that often burns out as quickly as it appears. I think a large part of its power lies in the uninhibited, often naive nature of the youthful mind. There is less restriction of the imagination, less lines drawn or firm boundaries in thought and expression. It doesn't always have to fade but it often does, life takes its toll and this magic is something that simply cannot be forced... The moment you "try", the magic is lost. It's born of a truly mysterious and unspoken connection to something deeper than the individual psyche. The subconscious mind seizes its opportunity while the doors of perception are open, before the dull of normalcy and conformity take root in the once vibrant soul. Though, I believe that connection can be re-established, only there is no method for doing so, it's not something you do, it's something you open to and allow. Each person must discover it within their own inner landscape, to become again as a child, a fool, an explorer of the mystery that is Being. What a strange dream we inhabit.

Nah, you're all wrong on this. I used to write a lot of stuff, nowadays i overthink and can't write an idea that satisfy My ego, or sometimes i doubt and don't write the things i got in My head at all, etc. but the thing is that we tend to get lazy at wanting to convey things thru words, the art of conversation might have zillions of words that rhyme and shit, but sometimes it's more the joy of singing ir playing an instrument that compells You to keep going more so than writing lyrics, it can be grey area only poets or ppl who are into arranging words are more profficient at than musicians or singers. Rage, magic, inspiration, are just nonsense when it comes from will, no matter how meaningful or dull lyrics can be. Highway Star have fast and furious kinda lyrics to it, nothing beautiful, heartfelt about it, and it's still a good song. Writing shit it's easy, but making lyrics work in a tune can be difficult, especially if You doubt on your line of thinking when writing. Not many ppl are wired to let themselves loose in the writing process, let alone being confident about your attempt. Sometimes the first step s the hardest.

@@nathaninostroza7655 there’s a difference. I write poetry as well as lyrics and music and various kinds of prose. Don’t get me wrong you can make yourself write some very good stuff if you know how, but it’s not the same as when a piece is inspired. It comes to you from some outside source. Like the god of music and poetry has put a CD on repeat in your head. Sometimes a full song, the whole band, instrumental breaks and solos, even all the lyrics, will just appear in your head and play the whole way through, sometimes it’s just a verse or a chorus. Or when you write lyrics or poetry, sometimes you can write the lyrics without even stopping to think, they just come completely naturally and say exactly what you want them to say, or sound exactly how you want them to sound, and that’s that. That’s what he’s talking about, he doesn’t have that anymore. The reason is because his subconscious isn’t trying to express anything. If he had anything to express it would come.

The complexities of how to care is how do you reach the heart of people, without losing touch with your own heart too.

It's why 'protest' songs only take us so far. If you don't already love people, the new society you build won't love people either. Side note - you might like my music.

I resonate with this deeply as a 26 year old songwriter and musician who feels like I’ve lost that magic in the last year or so. When I was 21-24 I wrote some of the most interesting music. The lyrics, chord progressions, compositions were magical as hell. I was a lost, broken soul and in some way, music found its way through that soul and gave it a path. I’m not the type to really share myself or my talents. But I shared with a few close friends and they were shocked that I could write something like the songs I wrote. Now I don’t have that magic. Im a lot happier than I was when I wrote them. A lot more mature and not so naive. Naivety is gold. Maybe I just need to have a broken heart again

As someone who frequently writes songs, I know exactly what he’s talking about. Others in comments are sharing these things here too, but so many song writers talk about the magic-like experience of writing a great song. You absolutely can hammer away at writing a song slowly and methodically, but 99% of the time a truly great song has been written, it happened super easy with no effort, it popped in the writers head, and usually got it all on paper in about 25 minutes. Same thing has happened with the best songs I’ve written. It’s less like working hard/creating and more like catching a butterfly in a net as it flies by.

As a writer i feel the same way, it just comes to you, youre just a conduit, and i look at some of my best writing with pure amazement, i was just the vessel that wrote it.

It’s a common misconception that life is an upward trajectory in achievement and talent, but not so. Oftentimes folks may be at their apex and not realize it, as in Dylan’s case. Also, it’s almost as if there was some elevating vibration bathing the earth in the 60s, it felt so real and palpable. I think this contributed to the tremendous creativity and search for love and higher meaning so prevalent during those times.

It's what the beatniks called stream-of-consciousness... Open yourself up to it and there's no closing let alone explaining that box. This is where the term "inspiration" comes from-'inspiro' is Latin for 'to breathe through'-the words pour forth from some eternal-yet-ephemeral spring 🌬 Like Dylan said: "There's no sense in trying..." Just let it come.

I completely understand, although I never sold but gifted my writings, bc they were gifts given to me. It left me some years ago, I’m now in my sixties & take pride in a poem I gifted to a woman to print & sell in her shop. Said she wanted my address to send a thank you card, but sent an excellent tapestry, of her talent using my words. Being human, I had it framed & it’s on a wall in my bedroom. God bless Bob Dylan for still sharing his beautiful gifts with the world bc he is a beautiful soul. I sincerely love him, as I finally sincerely love everyone, although that has taken an unbelievable life to achieve. GBU all, & thanks to anyone with patience to read my comment.

"Sit down and try to write that" This is my favourite Dylan quote - that song is unfathomable as a composition and I find it beautiful and revelatory that Dylan finds that song as unfathomable as a composer as I do as a listener. To me, "That's Alright, Ma" is more accurately understood as conjuring rather than composing.

Later in the interview, Bob describes going down to the crossroads and making a deal with “the chief commander.” It’s chilling. The crossroads is a reference to a meeting with the devil, who Dylan said he made a deal with, he won’t call him “satan” but he will call him the “chief commander.” I feel sad for him. Regardless of wether he actually wrote everything that he’s credited with, he’s a fantastic performer, and always has been!
