" I Shall Be Released" Youtube Short
A song by the lyrical master Bob Dylan, I shall Be Released has touched our hearts for many years and it is an honor to share with you our rendition. It feels reverent and unassuming in its lilt and sway, a folk ballad of soul and grit whose chorus is the medicine we need in these times. “I see my light come shining. From the west into the east. Any day now. Any day now. I shall be released”. We cannot know precisely what the poet Bob Dylan meant by these words, but when we sing it we sing it for the release of shackles in the mind. Of the lands. Of bodies and spirits in all places. We dedicate our version of this song to Palestine as well as the Israeli hostages still being held. May humans get a grip on how precious life is and how hard it is to create one.
