Hearing for the first time.
I had one of those moments yesterday, where I have listened to a song so many times over the years, but actually heard it for the first time.
I was sitting in the train, and looked out the window. The was a really beautiful cloud formation and the sun was behind it, and it looked awesome. I actually tweeted ‘The clouds look happy”. They did 
.
I was listen to some music at the time, on shuffle with about 4000 songs, and about 20 seconds after I sent the tweet I heard this line: “How many times must a man look up, before he sees the sky”.
I sat back and said ‘woah’ to myself, and skipped back to the start of the song to listen to it in it’s entirety.
This is the song:
The song, is of course, Bob Dylan, Blowin in the Wind. The lyrics are below. It strikes a cord with me. How about you?
Blowin in the Wind – Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?
Yes, ‘n’ how many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, ‘n’ how many times must the cannon balls fly before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist before it’s washed to the sea?
Yes, ‘n’ how many years can some people exist before they’re allowed to be free?
Yes, ‘n’ how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes, ‘n’ how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes, ‘n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
