Subterranean Homesick Blues

In Subterranean Homesick Blues I’d sample “You don’t need a weatherman to see which way the wind blows”, “20 years of schooling and they put you on the day shift”, “Better stay away from those that carry a fire hose” and “I’m on the pavement thinking about the government”. I like the fact that the music is very upbeat and yet the lyrics, used within the right setting, could talk about serious subjects. The upbeat nature of the music could add a bit of humor or light-heartedness to a serious piece and I think that is key.
