Bob Dylan Mystifies Again With New Single, “I Contain Multitudes”

Yesterday evening, Bob Dylan’s Twitter feed sent out the simple message: #IContainMultitudes. Just three weeks had passed since his epic “Murder Most Foul” stunned and confused listeners, and Dylanologists everywhere wondered what could be next. This morning, we have the answer as Dylan has released “I Contain Multitudes.” The new single (its title inspired by Walt Whitman) clocks in at roughly four-and-a-half minutes, but it’s no less engaging than the lengthy track that preceded it. The singer-songwriter-storyteller is in a ruminative if cryptic mood on the evocative ballad, its reflective lyrics alternately wry and poignant, fantastical and earthbound.

Could this point to a larger project ahead? We sure hope so and we’ll be sure to update you with any news. In the meantime, take a listen to the brand-new single “I Contain Multitudes” and sound off on it below!

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day.

Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.
