The legend released a heartfelt narrative track about that fateful day in Dallas and all the music that came after.
The almost spoken word track is a sprawling and poetic recollection of the day President John F. Kennedy was killed. However, it's also a song about how America was impacted by Kennedy's assassination, with Dylan dropping a number of references to things that came after the event.
Dylan croons over a mood setting instrumental that mostly uses string instruments and piano to set the scene. Despite the instruments swelling and adding character to Dylan's remembrances, they never distract from the folk icon's words. Flashing back to November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Dylan wastes no time in narrating the assassination."President Kennedy was a-ridin' high/Good day to be livin' and a good day/Being led to the slaughter like a sacrificial lamb," he sings."Then they blew off his head while he was still in the car/Shot down like a dog in broad daylight."
Bob Dylan performs as part of a double bill with Neil Young at Hyde Park on July 12, 2019 in London, England. Dylan released a new song"Murder Most Foul" on Friday.He then shows how so many Americans were affected by Kennedy's death, often dubbed the day that America lost its innocence."The day they blew out the brains of the king/Thousands were watching; no one saw a thing," he reflects.
Dylan also sings about other impacts of Kennedy's death with references to the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and narrations about the EMT's rushing Kennedy to Parkland Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The singer also muses upon some of his own interactions the day Kennedy died, including someone warning him that the worst was yet to come."The day that they killed him, someone said to me,/'Son, the age of the Antichrist has only begun,'" he sings.
