For the final Music Project, I would like to work on the Song “Blowin’ in the Wind” by Bob Dylan and would like to mainly relate it to the sub topic “The Relationship between History and Music.” Judging by the focus of the song, it can be also connected with the Subtopics “Protest Music” and “Music and Human Relationships.” Music is considered to be a work of art and it can be also said that its meanings cannot to deciphered and limited to a certain limit. Art is always open to analysis from all possible perspectives and so this song, studying from all angles, reveal a lot about anti-war spirit and the questions about pro civil rights.
