Winning Poetry

The Beauty of Dreams
Niall Kennedy aged 13

Some people dream small, though many dream vast,
Some dream of their future, what they will do,
Others do not want to take life so fast.
What is your opinion, what about you?

A few desire money, power, fame,
They try to make their life the best they can.
For others, their dreams are far from the same,
They want to help, support their fellow man.

These are the people who keep sight of dreams
Some like to be in the ‘right now and here’
Now it is time for them all to redeem,
But those who say ‘no’ lose something so dear.

So keep your dreams in a safe, special place,
And use them in your life, the great long race.


Sandman
Laura Perrett aged 16

Sandman possess me,
Lace your fingers in my hand,
Take me off to the Promised Land
To your photo-fitted pictures
Of the place I want to be.

Give me your amnesia sight,
And leave me guessing after night.
Those pathways leading nowhere,
Joining islands of memory.

Sandman, convince me
The dust left in my eyes,
You took it from the skies
When the stars weren't looking
They were snoozing happily.

Do you think they remember?
That pinnacle before they fell,
Into stories they'd never tell

DYLAN
1 CD - Released October 1st 2007

For 45 years Bob Dylan has written and sung the history of himself and of our time. From young folk and protest singer, through hard rocker to mature man facing death and a changed world, he has consistently been our mirror and our prophet. His best songs are the best ever written, combining a subtle and ever-changing use of language with a breathtaking range of song styles. Whether Dylan does country, blues, rock or folk, he always makes the style his own. When he does love, he makes your heart stop. These songs are some of his very finest, but there are hundreds more. So sample one of the greatest artists of our age, but be warned, once he's inside your head and your heart, you'll never get him out.

1) Blowin' in the Wind |listen|

A song that has been covered many times, but this original recording from 1963 remains the supreme performance. The delicate, pleading tune frames a series of questions without answers. It was seen at the time as the ultimate protest song, but the lack of answers and the sudden strange, big questions - 'How many years can a mountain exist…?' - show Dylan was aiming for a more timeless effect. It was not about day-to-day politics, it was about being human and, therefore, uncertain.

2) The Times They Are a-Changin' |listen|

This was the song that, in 1964, really announced the start of the turbulent time we now know simply as 'the sixties'. It was the anthem of the Cold War generation facing the possibility of a nuclear annihilation planned by their parents. These were desperate times and no forgiveness was on offer. The old, bad world was to be overthrown; the line had been drawn, the curse had been cast. You were either on the side of the young or you were against them.

3) Subterranean Homesick Blues |listen|

Dylan had abandoned folk for rock and protest for hip poetry. A formidable piece of writing, this song takes a rap-like delight in words so rhymed and rhythmic they hardly needed to be sung. Again it is a kind of anthem, but this time the young seem doomed, trapped by meaningless orders - 'Don't wear sandals' - and futile careers - 'Twenty years of schoolin'/ And they put you on the day shift.' Dylan's art had become more complex and ambitious and perhaps the times weren't changing that much after all.

4) Mr. Tambourine Man |listen|

This was from the same album - Bringing It All Back Home- as Subterranean Homesick Blues, but its mood is utterly different. The singer wanders through a dreamscape following the tambourine man who seems to offer ecstatic release from the cares of ordinary life. At the time some thought it was simply about drugs, but, in retrospect, it sounds like an exquisite prayer, a wish-list for heaven.

5) Like a Rolling Stone |listen|

For me, the single greatest rock song ever written, this introduces us to Dylan as the embittered lover, one of his most consistent roles. Melodic but savage at the same time, the music falls like a wave on the society girl who's been stripped of her place in life and now faces the unknown Ð 'the mystery tramp', 'Napoleon in rags' - unprotected by her wealth, attitudes and education. By the time Dylan's famously strange harmonica playing swings into action, the girl is crushed, but - a typical Dylan touch this - she is also free - 'When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.'

6) Maggie's Farm |listen|

A Blues rock song about the futility of the lives on offer to the young, but the technique is new. Dylan writes an entire play in which he is persecuted by an extravagant cast of villains - Maggie who makes him scrub the floor, the brother who steals his pay, the father who stubs his cigar out in his face and the hectoring mother, the brains of the operation. But he's bored, he's not going to work there any more. Maggie is another consistent Dylan character - the woman who ties him down - but, as ever, he can escape by going back on the road.

7) Positively Fourth Street |listen|

This is the bitterest and most relentless of his embittered lover songs. Again the society girl - 'With your position and your place' - has her attitudes flung back in her face. Everything she has said to him is listed and rejected. She says she has lost her faith, but 'You had no faith to lose/ And you know it'. But, in the midst of this tirade, the singer's own uncertainties subtly become evident. His sneers go over the top and, suddenly, in the last two verses, he wants the girl to stand inside his shoes, knowing that she can't. The lover wants what he cannot have, a complete understanding of his rage.

8) Just Like a Woman |listen|

An anti love song in which Dylan evokes pity for a society girl who aches like a woman but breaks like a little girl. There is still a hint of bitterness in his feelings, but the failings of the beloved - 'her fog, her amphetamines and her pearls' - are now seen through more compassionate eyes and the song, especially the harmonica solos, sounds more like a serenade than a curse. Dylan seldom sings his words with such clarity and emphasis. He desperately wants us to know this woman, to feel her anguish, even though his love has faded.

9) Rainy Day Women Nos 12 & 35 |listen|

This time the women are everywhere, reeling, stoned and crazy. This is a raucous evocation of the big downside of the sixties - the manic, drugged, endless and meaningless party. The music seems to jeer at the singer, refusing him any escape because 'everybody must get stoned.' Fleeing from the futile work on Maggie's Farm, Dylan finds himself dazed by a new, though fleetingly pleasurable, futility in which he keeps having to console himself that at least he does not 'feel so all alone.'

10) All Along the Watchtower |listen|

With the album John Wesley Harding, Dylan swerved into a new landscape of dark prophecy, strange dramas and haunting significance. In just twelve lines, All Along the Watchtower sets up an urgent dialogue between two outsiders, the joker - one of Dylan's regular alter egos - and the thief, who insists that now is the time for truth-telling. And then, suddenly, we are outside amidst strange, courtly rituals being played out as unknown threats begin to emerge from a wind-swept dreamscape. Seldom has any song suggested so much with so little.

11) Lay, Lady, Lay |listen|

This is a song of sweet, humble seduction - the lover's 'clothes are dirty but his hands are clean'. This lady shares her inhibitions with her predecessors. She's plainly holding back, as if for something better than what's on offer. There an air of snobbery about her, but this time Dylan himself is the 'mystery tramp' and he knows that the man she really loves is standing right in front of her. Almost courtly in its insinuating grace, Lay, Lady, Lay shows Dylan as the grown-up lover, all bitterness forgotten. For the moment.

12) Knockin' On Heaven's Door |listen|

This was written for the Sam Peckinpah movie Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Dylan instantly mastered the two principles of movie score writing - keep it simple and keep it big. Using only eight lines and a rock solid tune, he captures the epic life and death scale of Peckinpah's version of the West. The homely literalness of the chorus is that of the frontiersman who really does think heaven has a door on which he must knock.

13) Tangled Up In Blue |listen|

An entire novel about love and loss on the road is compressed into one unforgettable song. The music just rolls along, like life, and the words sail effortlessly from one startling and vivid scene to the next. It is, perhaps, the supreme example of Dylan's storytelling in song.The accumulation of telling, dramatic details like'Mama's homemade dress' and then the devastating but offhand, novel-like conclusion - 'We just saw it from a different point of view' - make this one of his most sophisticated and accomplished works.

14) Hurricane |listen|

Suddenly Dylan swings back to straight protest. The story of a black boxer wrongly convicted of murder, this is another superb example of his genius for a clipped, narrative style. There's a formidable amount of storytelling in this song combined with cinematic drama and stark character protrayal. The cop who says, 'That sonofabitch is brave and getting' braver' has been immortalised. The music is a thrilling headlong rush with the solo violin as angry lament and commentary.

15) Make You Feel My Love |listen|

This is from Time Out of Mind, the album that announced Dylan's rebirth as the poet of old age. It's a simple, direct and exquisite love song. As with Lay, Lady, Lay, he is trying convince the woman of the depths of his feelings and the line 'You ain't seen nothing like me yet' echoes his insistence in the earlier song that, though she does not know it, the lady has at last found true love. But age and approaching death have brought a more tender and urgent feel to the words and an elegaic quality to the music.

16) Things Have Changed |listen|

In 2001 Dylan won an Oscar for this song. It was written for the film Wonder Boys, but, unlike Knockin' on Heaven's Door, it makes no attempt to be movie music. Instead, it's just a wonderful example of late, mature Dylan. He sighs and murmurs the words against a lazy, rolling rhythm. He's complaining about the difficulties of life and and the strange contradictions of love - 'I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me.' The world, wild and surreal, passes before his weary eyes. 'I used to care,' he sings, 'but things have changed.' Things have changed - not him.

17) Someday Baby |listen|

A rolling urban blues song with overtones of Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, this is the latest incarnation of Dylan the bluesman. The tradition of the blues is one he understands perhaps better than any other. From Maggie's Farm through Subterranean Homesick Blues to Someday Baby, blues rhythms and harmonies have acted as the natural accompaniment to his verbal brilliance. In this case the warm, insistent repetitions of the musical signal are all about survival, the great quality celebrated by bluesmen down the years.

18) Forever Young |listen|

After all his anthems and prayers for rebellious and then doomed youth, Dylan now offers up this blessing. When I first heard this I was baffled, it sounded like a head teacher addressing a school. But, on closer examination, Dylan's blessing is full poignancy and nuance - 'May you build a ladder to the stars' but also you must 'climb on every rung', know the truth but also 'see the lights surrounding you.' This is a song full of experience and wisdom and, after all the crises of youth - Dylan's and ours - he still sees it as a blessed time.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

released: May 27, 1963

 BUY 		A giant step forward, Dylan’s second album, released in the spring of 1963, is still one of the finest in his recorded oeuvre. It features eleven Dylan originals, including “Blowin’ In The Wind,” which became the Dylan song most recorded by other artists. Freewheelin’ saw Dylan’s songs becoming political focused (“Masters of War,” “Oxford Town,” and the quasi-apocalyptic “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”) and increasingly crystallized presentations of a persona that could deliver love songs like “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” and “Girl From The North Country” as well as playful, wry sketches like “Bob Dylan’s Blues” and “I Shall Be Free.” Freewheelin’ was such an advance over Dylan’s debut that it overwhelmed nearly everyone, and established him both as the fastest-rising star in the folk music world and its most powerful songwriter.
