Two Soldiers (1993) – Bob Dylan
Nothing quite like a traditional folk song about war – and this is one I’ve always had a soft spot for and enjoy singing. The tenderness in Bob Dylan’s voice, and the way he caresses each word, really carries the…
Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (1973) – Bob Dylan
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door comes from soundtrack album Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. I’ve always thought it’s a bit of an underrated record, even if today’s song certainly isn’t – it’s one of Bob Dylan’s most recognisable tracks and…

To Sing For You (1965) – Donovan
I had to laugh when I read the first comment under the video of this song: “heyy that’s a good song, man!” Of course it is – especially when that reaction comes from Bob Dylan himself. Dylan’s remark comes after…

To Fall In Love With You (1986) – Bob Dylan
To Fall in Love With You is an unreleased and unfinished romantic jewel from Bob Dylan. The lyrics are incomplete and he’s in mid-songwriting process. Still, the headspace the song puts me in is one of serenity and deep longing.…
