How did Bob Dylan's lyrics influence songwriting?
I just wrote what I heard, what I saw. If it changed anything, it’s that people started to listen more closely to the words. The idea that a song could be more than just a simple hook, that it could carry complex narratives, images, and ideas, that it could be poetry set to music. It opened up possibilities for how a song could be structured, how it could tell a story, and what subjects it could tackle.
