A Hard Rain

"A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" - from The Times They Are A-Changin': The Music of Bob Dylan," conceived, arranged, and conducted by Steve Hackman.

[@jpgsnemesis3847]

As a 15 year old French teenager, my low level of spoken English and the cultural distance between folk and French variety really prevent me from enjoying songs as poetic as those of Bob Dylan. But the mystical beauty of your arrangement transcends all these barriers: you have brought me to the experience of a perfect fusion between poetry and music. Please continue to bring your talent to bear on such emotion !!! You make people discover unsuspected emotions, which let us glimpse our sensibility beyond ourselves.

[@garyhuman6747]

Brilliant, just brilliant,....what a great version on Dylan's classic,....thankyou so much !!!!!!

[@marieboutin9054]

Very beautiful ! truly awesome ! Marie from France. I think that Bob Dylan is a poet; I love his music and songs; No one equals him

[@elpresidente8730]

The lyrics of this song are prophetic and this arrangement really does it justice,

[@mtoscano343]

The power of poetic lyricism. The message of Dylan.

[@TimSimms7]

I just saw it in Seattle with the chamber symphony and eight vocalists. People all around me were moved quite profoundly. One of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever seen and heard.

[@mairz10]

That was beautiful. And real. Dylan's poetry in beautiful harmonies. Singing together as one! So missing that!

[@Michael-gg3xe]

Amazing. Takes Hard Rain to another level - if that's possible!

[@ilariacapelli1267]

What a beautiful version... 🥺 I am really, really moved...

[@bradleyholland4881]

Revealing yet again and as always, the transcendent beauty and power of Bob Dylan’s musical poetry.

[@tampadan7128]

Just so beautiful! Dylan’s poetry will live forever.

[@bigbictors2804]

Lord God and all of you , thank you, love all, big

[@johnmilnthorp8409]

The silence after the last chord was not doctored by the sound crew - you couldn't hear a pin drop until the applause started.

[@josephclifford163]

It's a nod to A Day In The Life.

[@jimbloomfield1026]

Best version of this song I have ever heard and I've heard a lot covers of it.

[@debrupchaudhuri9871]

And the Legacy lives on!

[@nissi.k]

This is one of Bob Dylan’s most precious songs to me! So deeply meaningful and insightful! Although Bob singing it will always be the best to me, this euphonic arrangement highlights his words in a new way! I felt moved inside with this like a soft wind stirring my heart and soul in a meditative way. Thank you for sharing this! 🙏🏻✨🤍✨

[@petergillett6190]

Dylan played this at an outdoor Sydney concert. It was threatening rain and someone called out "Hard Rain". Just beautiful.

[@marioski54]

So a brutal text lifted to a celestial level

[@linakoeltgen3616]

[@health9437]

The most daring affinity group leading the mass actions against the Seabrook nuke with the Coalition for Direct Action at Seabrook (CDAS) on Oct 6, 1979 and May 24, 1980 called themselves Hard Rain. They were maced at the fence repeatedly, proving they stood by their words.

[@gladysespiritu8190]

wonderful

[@bobgonzalez1198]

This is a Master-Piece !! Punto Final ( there is nothing else to say )

[@valeriavisconti1281]

[@ivanstrelka3448]

how is it possible to find and listen to the whole concert?

[@michaelmelling9333]

Cool!

[@EfrainCigarraPerez]

¡ Hermosa y conmovedora versión de la canción de Bob Dylan : "A hard rain's a gonna fall ". Recomendable. Si alguien se animara a complementarla con sus respectivos subtítulos en español, sería mejor aun.

[@vernwallen4246]

Dylan's song but Leon Russell"nailed it".🗽👍💕

[@RussCR5187]

No truer words have ever been spoken.

[@tonydawson2670]

I'd need the words in front of me too! Mr Tambourine man is tough enough...

Inderdaad een mooie versie. Wat vond Bob er zelf van?

[@vesnaantisin7688]

Bob dylan is power of planet

[@henryjraymondiii961]

Jeez. I need to try harder. Its hard. The Who. I mean it --check the video if you click on my circle.

[@EfrainCigarraPerez]

Muchas veces se ha acusado a Dylan de su supuesta falta de expresividad vocal Pues bien, esta grabación lo suple con creces.

[@manoelbatistadasilvasilva6024]

[@MrMcgooOG]

Painful listening to the original, this is even worse. A non coherent drug induced hippie making music is not choir worthy.

[@rajabhattacharya1735]

very good music guys...but sorry this is not so dylan or his poetry and what he would stand for ...forever ...sorry again, doesn't capture that at all...

[@patricm.3718]

Why would they want to capture the same thing that Dylan already had? By your logic, Jimi Hendrix should never have covered 'All Along The Watchtower'. Not even Dylan condescends to own the work that he gave to the world. Light does great stuff through stained glass windows and jewels--just because the light becomes different through a different vessel does not mean that the light's source is diminished or even captured; merely refracted, filtered, reinterpreted.

[@rajabhattacharya1735]

@@patricm.3718 Cool!..just enjoy from inside the stained glass window....with 500 violins and whatever. I will be waiting outside "where the executioner's face is always well hidden where hunger is ugly........where none is the number"

[@SandfordSmythe]

How old are you?

[@jorgejohnson451]

The over-dramatization of an over dramatic song. The only thing worse might have been if it had been sung in Latin.

[@kostyapolykova9879]

This is such a normie response to bob dylan. No flavor. No edge. All the colors sucked on out.

[@SandfordSmythe]

Art appeals to many people, has many meanings and can be expressed many ways. We don't separate people.
