about

Woog Riots got an invitation to celebrate Bob Dylan’s 80th birthday with an event in May organized by Thomas Waldherr. Thomas wrote several books about Dylan and runs a blog called “I’m a cowboy in a band”. Instead of contributing a Dylan cover song Silvana Battisti and Marc Herbert decided to write their own contribution. The song uses a typical “Blowing in the Wind” song structure: there are essential questions in the verse and a swinging answer in the chorus “when you’re lonely and on your own, you wish Bob Dylan knocks on your door”.

Even though the song was written on acoustic guitar Woog Riots added their trademark electro pop flavour.

Along with the single they release a video with a very special participation concept. Musicians, film makers, actors and painters from all over the world show their favorite Dylan album or sing along. Jeffrey Lewis from New York City, Matthias Kom (The Burning Hell) from Canada, Knarf Rellöm from Hamburg, Nan Turner (Nan + the One Nite Stands) from Kansas City and many more. The result was an overwhelming collage of Dylan memorabilia and creativity!

lyrics

D Em A
Have you seen a big whale in the deep blue sea?
Could live 200 years needs air to breathe
Have you seen the orange clown in the White House?
Why people wanted him? You`re glad he`s gone

F D
Searching for love and peace what has changed in eighty years?
F A A7
No direction, still unknown history`s like a rolling stone

D G D
When you`re lonely and on your own
D A D
you wish Bob Dylan knocks on your door
D G D
When you`re lonely and on your own
D A D
you wish Bob Dylan knocks on your door

Instr.: F D / F D / D Em A / D Em A

D Em A
Have you seen them waving, waving their flags?
It`s white supremacy that kills
Have you seen the funeral flowers on the fresh grave?
Another un------------------------ necessary death A7

D G D
When you`re lonely and on your own
D A D
you wish Bob Dylan knocks on your door
D G D
When you`re lonely and on your own
D A D
you wish Bob Dylan knocks on your door

F D
Searching for love and peace what has changed in eighty years?
F A A7
No direction, still unknown history`s like a rolling stone

D G D
When you`re lonely and on your own
D A D
you wish Bob Dylan knocks on your door
D G D
When you`re lonely and on your own
D A D
you wish Bob Dylan knocks on your door
