New Morning by Bob Dylan
It’s so tempting when asked for a song that reminds you of someone to just write God Save the Queen.
But my choice is New Morning by Bob Dylan which reminds me of my auntie Eva in her flat in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland. I’d reached the age where anything that the adults did was boring as far as I was concerned. So I would mope around her flat reading books, and then discovered one day a copy of Bob Dylan’s New Morning album hidden away amongst a predominantly Swiss folk collection. I didn’t know it but it looked different so I put it on the turntable and I remember two things – my delight at discovering a gem that I’ve loved all my life since, and her delight in hearing again music from a long way back, maybe some special time in her life. I don’t know if she ever played that album again, but whenever I hear that album and this opening song it reminds me of her delight.
