„Death Is Not The End“

When you’re sad and when you’re lonely
And you haven’t got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you held sacred
Falls down and dows not bend
Just remember that death is not the end.

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end.

When you’re standing on the cross-roads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all your dreams have vanished
And you don’t know what’s up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end.

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end.

When the storm clouds gather round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end
And there’s nowhere there to comfort you
With helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end.

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end.

Oh the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation
Shines in dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire
When the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
And you search in vain to find
Just one law abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end.

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end.

Schon zu Lebzeiten ein Mythos: Robert Allen Zimmermann, besser bekannt als Bob Dylan. Schon 1961 begann Dylans Karriere in einem Folk-Club in New York, seine „Never Ending Tour“ ist nicht zu stoppen. Das geniale an Bob Dylan sind seine Texte. Seine Qualitäten als Musiker, Gitarrist, Munharmonikaspieler und Sänger sind wohl eher „durchschnittlich“. Aus diesem Grund wurden viele seine Lieder auch erst in den Coverversionen (z.B. Blowing in the wind von Joan Baez oder Knocking on heavens door von Guns&Roses, Mr. Tambourine Man von den Byrds) erfolgreich. Man glaubt gar nicht wie viele Welthits letztendlich aus der Feder Dylans stammen.
