Seal vs. Dylan: Beginnings On The Watchtower

 

Beginnings On The Watchtower (Musicina Blender mashup)

These two songs are not only in the same key, their tempos are only a couple of bpm’s apart. I’ve been wanting to mix “Watchtower” because it is one of the few Dylan tunes that actually has a straight-hard beat through the entire tune.  The Seal tune came to mind recently when my wife and I cut the rug on a Friday night and spent a few hours in our living room dancing to all kinds of stuff.  Man, I remember when that first Seal disc came out. It was one of those discs that everyone seemed to be playing, whether you were at a party, a friends house, a bar, or the radio. You couldn’t escape it. And it was great!
