I just received Bob Dylan's Tell Tale Signs in the mail.
It's a delightful collection of rare and unreleased tracks from recent years. The most rewarding gem so far is an expanded version of one of my favorite songs: Can't Wait.
Contemplate these words — only a snippet of the full lyrics, mind you — and think on how true they are to the human experience.
Skies are grey, I'm looking for anything that will bring a happy glow
Night or day, it doesn't matter where I go anymore; I just go
If I ever saw you coming I don't know what I would do
I'd like to think I could control myself, but it isn't true
That's how it is when things disintegrate
And I don't know how much longer I can wait
What do you run after to find a "happy glow"?

It's amazing how our world looks so desperately for some little glimpse (or glow) of something bright and good in the world and miss completely the brightest hope of all.
