The Times They are a Changin
The Times They Are A-Changin’—Bob Dylan “Come gather ‘round people, wherever you roam, and admit that the waters, around you have grown.” As the title indicates, this song is about change and how it is so prevalent in our lives. There are numerous lines throughout the song that reiterate this opening line. Not only is this song talking about change, but it also talks about how we accept change and how we deal with it. Dylan is emphasizing that you have to adjust to change and try to understand the times that are constantly changing. Dylan hits on a lot of different levels as he is getting his point across. At first he starts off broad by talking to all people in general, as is indicated in the opening line of the song. The next stanza starts off “come writers and critics, who prophesize with your pen.”
