All the Tired Horses – Lisa O’Neill

I’m so late to the party… I only just started and finished the entire Peaky Blinders series.

Yikes! I know.

Saw there was a Peaky Blinders movie out. Watched it, and liked it. So started the series and finished it within a couple of weeks.

(Quick review on the series: It went from great, to flabby, across season 4 and 5, but redeemed itself with an epic finale.)

That leads us to where we are now – All the Tired Horses was the final song on the final episode, and it gave me chills.

A beautiful and haunting cover of Bob Dylan’s song, which matched the tone of the final Peaky Blinders episode perfectly.

Her voice voice reminds me of Aldous Harding. Who, if you don’t know, is New Zealand’s answer to Sharon Van Etten, Fiona Apple and Kate Bush.

Highly recommend giving it a listen.

Times They Are A-Changin’ – Bob Dylan

Do you want to be inspired? Lifted up? Be given a ray of hope?
Do you want to hear one of the best protest songs ever written..?

Well. This is it. This is the key to your hopes and dreams. Bob Dylan’s song is like Imagine by John Lennon and Blowin’ In The Wind by Joan Baez combined. Just as inspiring, just as awesome, just as timeless.

Depending on what mood you are in, this song could make you just totally despise what our world has come to, and make you want to make your own protest outside parliament listing all the reasons that you hate their selfish ways and that you are finally fed up with feeling fristrated and powerless against their blatant lies and flip-flops.

OR

You could feel at peace knowing that times really are changing, and that the great peace warriors are on your side.

Actually, I decided to liberate your minds with this song because Michael Moore covered it for the Occupy Movement album :) Look it up!

Peace out, dude-faces.
