Bob Dylan – Nuovo album di inediti in uscita a giugno

Bob Dylan pubblicherà il 19 giugno 2020 “Rough and Rowdy Ways”, nuovo album di inediti, e intanto è uscito “False Prophet”, terzo nuovo singolo che anticipa il lavoro
Con il terzo singolo pubblicato in breve tempo è arrivato anche l’annuncio tanto atteso: Bob Dylan pubblicherà il prossimo 19 giugno il nuovo album di inediti Rough and Rowdy Ways. Il nuovo lavoro arriva a otto anni dal precedente disco di inediti, Tempest, e a tre anni da Triplicate, triplo disco di cover scelte dal repertorio tradizionale americano.
Dopo Murder Most Foul e I Contain Multitudes è uscito inoltre il terzo singolo che anticipa il nuovo lavoro, False Prophet, che si può ascoltare qui:
 

 
Ecco infine il testo di False Prophet:
Another day that don’t end
Another ship goin’ out
Another day of anger, bitterness, and doubt
I know how it happened
I saw it begin
I opened my heart to the world and the world came in
 
Hello Mary Lou
Hello Miss Pearl
My fleet-footed guides from the underworld
No stars in the sky shine brighter than you
You girls mean business and I do too
 
Well I’m the enemy of treason
Enemy of strife
Enemy of the unlived meaningless life
I ain’t no false prophet
I just know what I know
I go where only the lonely can go
 
I’m first among equals
Second to none
Last of the best
You can bury the rest
Bury ‘em naked with their silver and gold
Put them six feet under and pray for their souls
 
What are you lookin’ at
There’s nothing to see
Just a cool breeze that’s encircling me
Let’s go for a walk in the garden
So far and so wide
We can sit in the shade by the fountain-side
 
I search the world over
For the Holy Grail
I sing songs of love
I sing songs of betrayal
Don’t care what I drink
Don’t care what I eat
I climbed the mountains of swords on my bare feet
 
You don’t know me darlin’
You never would guess
I’m nothing like my ghostly appearance would suggest
I ain’t no false prophet
I just said what I said
I’m just here to bring vengeance on somebody’s head
 
Put out your hand
There’s nothing to hold
Open your mouth
I’ll stuff it with gold
Oh you poor devil look up if you will
The city of God is there on the hill
 
Hello stranger
A long goodbye
You ruled the land
But so do I
You lost your mule
You got a poison brain
I’ll marry you to a ball and chain
 
You know darlin’
The kind of life that I live
When your smile meets my smile something’s got to give
I ain’t no false prophet
No I’m nobody’s bride
Can’t remember when I was born
And I forgot when I died
