Sunday Classics 20.07.25​

Hey members! This week’s Sunday Classic is all about raw truth wrapped in a beautiful melody.

Say hello to 'Positively 4th Street' by Bob Dylan—a 1965 release that’s as sharp as it is soulful. On the surface, it’s a breezy folk-rock tune with that signature Dylan drawl and warm organ backing. But listen closely, and you’ll hear a fearless expression of disappointment and clarity. Dylan isn’t angry—he’s honest. And that’s what makes this song so powerful.

Whether you’ve ever had to outgrow a toxic friendship or just needed to speak your truth, this track resonates. It's a reminder that music doesn’t always have to sugarcoat things to make an impact. Sometimes, the most lasting songs are the ones that dare to say exactly what they mean—with elegance, wit, and courage.

My favourites are usually the ones that Peter Paul and Mary sang. Blown in the Wind is a protest song. Someone once said 'What if they held a War and nobody came?'

I was thinking about The Righteous Brothers song - "Unchained Melody". I could not find a video on You Tube though, only the music.

He certainly is a classic storey teller. This tune is certainly that. How many times in your life you run across people like this he sang about here.
