What song best represents Tuesday and the election; lots of folks have identified various versions of A Change is Gonna Come…great song even if folks know it best from American karaoke.

For some reason, I think this Bob Dylan song gets it best, particularly for those who’ve waited. It’s as much the sound of the song as it as the lyrics…

The ocean wild like an organ played,
The seaweed’s wove its strands.
The crashin’ waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and sands.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Lay down the song you strum,
And rest yourself ‘neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum.

I stood unwound beneath the skies
And clouds unbound by laws.
The cryin’ rain like a trumpet sang
And asked for no applause.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Lay down the song you strum,
And rest yourself ‘neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum.
