Originally posted 2008-08-29 23:49:12. By Chris Moore : Thanks for coming to the best acoustic cover song music blog on the Internet! Today, our featured cover is “Bob Dylan’s Dream.” Bob Dylan, believe it or not, is the original songwriter. Who would have guessed? Well, I guess anyone could have… This song was originally released on Dylan’s early folk album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan and it is what you would call a deep track, as it was never a hit, no one that I know of ever covered it for an album, and it never appeared on any live compilations. At least, not official ones. But, regardless of how little attention it has received, I think that it is a perfect candidate for the Laptop Sessions treatment. First, it’s originally acoustic, recorded once as a “live-in-the-studio” recording, which makes it easily translatable to an acoustic cover song. Second, it has a really nostalgic feel to it. By nostalgic, I don’t mean that it sounds like an oldtime song or anything like that. Rather, I mean that it really makes you think about your own “first friends” — those people that you spent your youth with, engaged in simple activities that brought indescribable happiness. Well, those “first friends” very rarely make it into your future. And while it’s always nice to look back and remember them, it can be very sad to think about the exits they took from your life. Like Bob Dylan, I would pay a good deal of money to go sit “simply in that room again.” But you can never go back… …you can only write and sing songs like this one that describe the feeling! Another thing I love about the song is that it starts off with the line, “While riding on a train going west…” It gives the feeling of someone nodding off as a train barrels on down the tracks, and as that person just drifts off, these memories of his life come rushing back to him. I think that’s a great way to start the song.
