Hard Rain
On the liner notes for “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan” album, it’s explained that the song “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” was written during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. “A desperate kind of song,” Dylan called it.
“Every line in it is actually the start of a whole song,” he explained. “But when I wrote it, I thought I wouldn’t have enough time alive to write all those songs so I put all I could into this one.”
Imagine if all art were created in that spirit…
