Álbum Street Legal de Bob Dylan - Canciones
Street Legal
Reseña
El álbum Street Legal encuentra a Dylan experimentando con un sonido de banda grande, incorporando una sección de vientos y coristas femeninas al estilo góspel. En consecuencia, el sonido es denso y pulido, muy diferente a la crudeza de sus trabajos anteriores. Sin embargo, la producción original fue criticada por ser turbia, aunque versiones remasterizadas han mejorado notablemente su claridad. Las letras, por otro lado, son complejas y a menudo crípticas, explorando temas de traición, espiritualidad y crisis personal.
De hecho, canciones como "Changing of the Guards" o "Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)" son épicas llenas de imágenes apocalípticas y alegóricas, que presagian su inminente conversión al cristianismo. Por lo tanto, a pesar de ser un álbum a menudo pasado por alto, 'Street Legal' es una obra fascinante y ambiciosa que captura a Dylan en un momento de profunda transición personal y artística.

[X]letra de Changing of the Guards
Sixteen years,
Sixteen banners united over the field
Where the good shepherd grieves.
Desperate men, desperate women divided,
Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.
Fortune calls.
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
On midsummer's eve, near the tower.
The cold-blooded moon.
The captain waits above the celebration
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.
They shaved her head.
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.
I stumbled to my feet.
I rode past destruction in the ditches
With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.
The palace of mirrors
Where dog soldiers are reflected,
The endless road and the wailing of chimes,
The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.
She wakes him up
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking.
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.
Gentlemen, he said,
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.
Peace will come
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Between the King and the Queen of Swords. - New Pony 4:28
- No Time to Think 8:19
- Baby Stop Crying 5:17
- Is Your Love in Vain? 4:30
