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!

Bob Dylan Meets The Beatles

Positively Fifth Beatle

Wouldn’t this be the ultimate bootleg? Legend has it that Dylan turned the Beatles on to weed, but conversely, the Beatles turned Dylan on to the possibilities of rock. Imagine them in the studio together, circa 1964. Could this have been the moment when Dylan truly went electric?

Note that the visual mashup of the album cover syncs perfectly with the audio mashiup. And that Paul McCartney was a killer bass player.
