What is Blowin’ in the Wind about?
🎶 Blowin’ in the Wind song analysis
This song is a meditation on the concept of justice and freedom. The singer wonders how many paths one must travel, how many seas a white dove must travel, how many times one must look up, and how many years a mountain must exist before one can be free. He finally answers that the answer "blows in the wind", which implies that the answer is not easy to know and is constantly changing.

The Hollies - Short Biography

The Hollies is a British rock band formed in Manchester in 1962. The band's original lineup consisted of Allan Clarke (vocals), Graham Nash (vocals, guitar), Tony Hicks (guitar), Eric Haydock (bass) and Don Rathbone (drums). The band's early music was heavily influenced by American R&B and rock and roll, and the group had several hits in the UK in the mid-1960s. In 1968, Graham Nash left the band to form Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and was replaced by singer and guitarist Terry Sylvester. The band continued to have success throughout the 1970s and 1980s, with hits such as "The Air That I Breathe" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother." The Hollies have gone through several lineup changes over time, but the group continues to tour and perform relentlessly.

Bob Dylan wrote the iconic protest song "Blowin' in the Wind" in 1962, which appears on his album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Asking rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom, its stirring refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been described as ambiguous but conveys a message of goodwill to end violence and oppression. It was covered by the Hollies in 1969.
