(21) Precious Voice From Heaven

[SlowLearner]

Is it about Dylan again? Dylan doesn't really wear a trilby mind...

I actually thought it might've been about Dylan, just for the "I'm 42 years old" lyric. Dylan was 42 when Infidels was released.
As much as "Lights Of Taormina" and "Silver Eagle" can be about Dylan, so can this song be, in some way.
And the mention of folk rock in the lyric and similar stuff, make me believe that more and more.

First seconds of the song I thought it was a rewriting of Two skinny kids, but later I also thought about Dylan and also about him when he started his solo career, but there are big parts of the song I don't understand yet.

So I meant more that the person in the song is a third party singing about Dylan... a musician struggling to get by as times change. But he could listen to Dylan sing the phonebook.

(If there was still a phonebook).

Well, I would argue that Dylan does not have a precious voice from heaven. Imagine Crusty singing the phonebook...

It's not easy with this text.

Got the chills when heard the intro to this, what a nice track, MK should be fined for not putting this on the album.

So actually he's singing to a woman, so not Dylan then

Joni Mitchell?

[skydiver]

So actually he's singing to a woman

And is the woman singing the chorus back to him?

[Robson]

Maybe the answer can be found in MK radio programs. I need to check.

I don't see that but anything is possible, what makes you think that?

[Jules]

Somehow the film "Wild Rose" came to mind...
