Relative Something

Here we go again, two-fold! I now have two new songs that are jumping out at me at the same time.

The first one of the two to get my attention recently has the banjo sound that I have always been fond of, and an energizing amount of crescendo. I have heard other Mumford & Sons songs and been drawn to their sound before, but the new release has made a different impression on me. It has led me to actually look up the band, to learn their history and discover member’s names. The song is, “I Will Wait,” the first single released from their latest album, “Babel.”

I am partial to the studio version, but the version I found at the time of this posting is of them performing live. It will suffice:

The second song is a surprise for me. When I heard the radio DJ introducing a new song from Bob Dylan, I was intrigued. I automatically wanted to like it. Unfortunately, from the start, I was disappointed. I didn’t like what I was hearing. However, by the time the song ended, I was singing along. When I had a chance to hear it a second time, I found myself excited to hear it. Like has happened for me many times before, the initial sounds that didn’t appeal to me, now came across as desirable. And I get hooked by that chorus. Go, Bob, go. “Duquesne Whistle.”
