    All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan is a poem jam packed with allegories. Reading it may seem like putting together a puzzle. It can be interpreted in a vast amount ways. Dylan does not like when people interpret in a single way; therefore, this may have been his goal. It is written within a basic structure; however, the position of each stanza is rather abnormal.

    Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower”1 has a song structure that is composed of an introduction, verse one, instrumental interlude, verse two, instrumental interlude, verse three, instrumental interlude, and outro; Jimi Hendrix2 clearly follows this structure when he covers the song. Certainly, with Dylan’s heavy use of harmonica and acoustic guitar, his version can be interpreted as a journey of desolation through oppression.

    Jimi Hendrix’s rendition of Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” has distinct structural events; such as guitar solos, that differ Hendrix’s message from Dylan's.

Hendrix strategically places his instrumentation to convey the meaning of war and its effect on society; such as
