鲍勃 迪伦不仅仅是个民歌大师，他彻底改变了美国流行歌坛的“内核”，自他开始，流行歌曲终于可以不止是唱唱爱情的了。这首歌曲是每一个学习吉他的青年的必经之路。只有伟大的人物才能有这样伟大的作品。

       虽然「Blowing in the Wind」的时代背景是越战时期的美国社会，但是这首歌的意境却可以说是「放诸四海而皆准」，同时始终深受世界各地人们的喜爱。当东欧与中东各地战火频传、当国人为政府与某些民间企业的不当措施采取激烈抗争手段的时候，总是令人不禁又想起这首歌曲。解决争端的方法其实显而易见，就像是飞扬在风中一样，只是有几人肯去倾听呢？ 这首歌也在电影《阿甘正传》中出现过。

Before they call him a man 才能成为真正的男人
How many seas must a white dove sail 鸽子要飞跃几重大海
Before she sleeps in the sand 才能在沙滩上安眠
