Bob Dylan - Ring Them Bells (Official Audio)

[@philchristensen2787]

There is Bob Dylan, and then there is all other music.

[@nevennekic5262]

Bob never actually left the gospel. its within him.

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

I would call that old testament lyrics much more the prophet Jeremiah then Saul of Tarsus

[@erikdyrting4582]

Robert Zimmerman is, what he is. I am happy for that ✌️❤️

[@sxywivgreeneyes]

It's not gospel its BLUES, fused with soul, country, easy listening, folk, etc, but predominantly BLUES. Take "man in the black coat " for instance that is a waltz 😎. Gospel you have to have church religious lyrics and you've got to have a choir. Gospel and all genre's based on BLUES. I'm a bluesman... 😎

[@erikdyrting4582]

@sxywvgreeneyes you’re right. It is! Blues!

You are right green eyes ✌️

so good "And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow." Amen please

[@iggypyro78]

"They're breaking down the distance between right and wrong." That is such an incredibly beautiful lyric. One of the best. Dylan has quite a few - this is one of the best. I think.

[@viking956]

Just reading Dylan's autobiography, "Chronicles Volume One". In it he said that last line "....between right and wrong" was the subject of intense debate among himself and the producer of the album "Oh Mercy", Daniel Lanois. At issue was whether it should read "right AND wrong", or "right OR wrong". I don't know which sounds better or which means more or how they resolved their disagreement to end up with "right and wrong". But it does speak to the level of care and intensity with which Bob Dylan the songwriter tries to, as they say, "get it right". I mean he struggled over whether to use the word "and" or use the word "or" when from the outside looking in, I doubt if any of us fans would even notice the difference between the two. I know I certainly didn't.

I saw Bob outdoors at a festival in 2008. I was amazed at how freaking long and powerful it was. I've seen about 50 concerts but that one was epic. My first sober concert...although when Bob came on I crowded the stage and hit a Doobie or two when he played All Along The Watchtower. Good stuff. Thanks Mr Zimmerman.

[@brianolson1098]

When I hear this song or ringing bells it makes think about peace on Earth. With this virus that is plaguing humanity the world has became a house divided. Global economies are being destroyed by Covid 19, government intervention, and the World Bank, which has caused many people to totally lose it and forget how to be civil. Hopefully bells will keep ringing and the world will find peace.

the chosen few...who will judge the many? What group of people is he refearing to? Who are the chosen?

[@123thof]

Just lore from his weird religion at the time

[@damiandoherty3303]

“You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” when Bob sings them lyrics they have the same meaning as the quote I just typed

[@helencheung2537]

Ben Henning Burk: 1st Corinthians 6:3 . "Or do you not know that the saints [believers in Jesus] shall judge angels? Christ is exalted above all, and as He has redeemed us we share in his authority over the fallen angels (the demons, active in our world, to which they are confined), as they, unlike the unfallen angels, are lower than us. As we are told that the angels in heaven are uncountable, it stands to reason that the third that fell away are greater in number than the saints. So, perhaps Bob Dylan is referencing the saints as the chosen few who will judge the many [the fallen angels]. However, maybe not, because we have to chose Jesus, rather than him choose us. Even though he has paid the debt of sin for all mankind past present and future, we have to recognise his stupendous sacrifice and freely accept his gift of eternal life. It's our choice, because God created us with free will. Will you be in that number when the saints go marching in when the game is through.

[@buckyoung4578]

@@123thof Your silly arrogance is the same that The Beatles used when they said they were more popular than Christ. Two are dead. One is very sick. And, the other will die like all men do. Yet, Christ is alive today and Christ is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Don't die in your weird, self-religion. Turn to Christ and be made whole.

[@buckyoung4578]

Dylan is nothing if he is not allegorical, seldom literal. So, the chosen few could be The Holy Trinity or those that have been redeemed in Christ. The many that are judged most likely are those that reject Christ. The Word states, "All shall die and stand before their Creator to be judged." Also, "Christ sits at the Right Hand of God making Intercession for those that have received Him as Savior and Lord of their lives". What is absolute is that those that reject Christ while alive on Earth will be, "Cast into the lake of fire where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth". The exact procedure of how Judgment Day works is not as easy to know as other things in the Word, but for certain a day that all will face and have to give an accounting.
