Shot Of Love (I Need A) By David Ivar, Is The Songs From This Album Covered By Artist David Ivar, Frontman In Herman Dune

SHOT OF LOVE!!! I Love Bob Dylan, the artist, so much.

I listen to most of his albums all the time…

Shot Of Love has a special meaning for me.

I thought, that if I were going to do this, cover Bob Dylan for the Cîté De La Musique in Paris (A Music Institute that was starting a Bob Dylan Exhibition) as they asked me to, I wanted to learn something, to go deep into a place where I wanted to go.

I could sense that Shot Of Love was this album…

I enjoy Shot Of Love as an album of Love and Faith.

I hear in Shot Of Love a wonderful path of Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding towards Faith and Redemption. A Love well known, found again, in a new form, soon to reveal itself, universal and timeless, all the way to Infidels.

I have been fascinated with this path, this journey, these questions, I believe that there is something essential to be understood, felt, through the poet’s words, through these Pop songs, Through this Soul music, and I wanted to dig into this album, full of hits, full of wonders, full of honesty, of truth, and of humility.

As later, with the band, I started playing Shot Of Love, I felt more and more thankful that I chose it, as the songs unravelled to be an open field of beautiful choruses, themes and melodies, and as we all took the greatest pleasure at practice, a real communion of sorts, in Rock & Roll.

I remember my friend, my brother, Turner Cody, playing Shot Of Love on the stereo as he was touring with us for Giant, I remember us cheering to Property Of Jesus, I remember, the Love that Every Grain Of Sand brought to the van, I remember singing Heart Of Mine with him, Angela and Crystal at our show in London, and I just want to play it more and more…
