KW-13-2020: …. die Nacht, in der wir alle schliefen …

… lud Bob Dylan einen neuen – geradezu erstaunlichen – Song ins Netz. 3 Tage später klickten das YouTube – Teil von VEVO knapp 1,5 Millionen User an…

http://www.bobdylan.com/… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NbQkyvbw18&feature=emb_logo For years, Bob Dylan fans have spoken in a sort of hushed awe about the longest song he ever released, “Highlands,” an album side-length 1997 track that ran 16 minutes and 31 seconds. Now, 23 years later, he’s slightly outdone himself. As the clock struck midnight on the east coast Friday morning, Dylan released a new song, “Murder Most Foul,” that has a 16:57 running time — and it’s an epic free association on the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Little information was given about the surprise track, except for a brief statement from Dylan himself:

“Greetings to my fans and followers with gratitude for all your support and loyalty over the years.

“This is an unreleased song we recorded a while back that you might find interesting.

“Stay safe, stay observant and may God be with you.

“Bob Dylan”

A Dylan representative said the statement was all the information they would be releasing about the song, so whether “a while back” means a matter of months or many years remains a mystery.
