3.

I feel slightly hasty in posting number three of my desert island discs so soon after the second, leaving me now with only 5 songs (5, in the entire collection of songs ever produced). Just. Five.  But here goes...
Ask me to pick one artist to listen to for the rest of my life and it would definately be Bob Dylan. He is, quite frankly, the coolest man alive. 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' is one of my favourite Bob Dylan songs and sits firmly at number three. This song is absolutely incredible in every way. Despite the opinions of some, I happen to think that Dylan's voice is one of the nicest I've ever heard. Moany? Drony? Nasely? Yes. But beautifully heart-warming at the same time. The lyrics, the harmonica, the guitar and the voice altogether are amazing and make me smile from the cockles of my heart. Reminding me of my childhood, my family and my friends, it is a song that makes me feel completely happy, pure and content with life. And that's why, stranded on my island with nothing but my 8 tracks, I have to have this one.
