Villagers' Conor O'Brien on Bob Dylan: "Your words and music continue to lift my spirits and sharpen my intellect everyday"
As part of our 'Bob Dylan at 80' special feature, Villagers' Conor O'Brien reflects on the influence and impact of the iconic singer-songwriter.
Happy birthday Mr. Dylan. Your words and music continue to lift my spirits and sharpen my intellect everyday. You inspire me to allow myself to shed my skin and be reborn without fearing the unknown. You never cease to present an endless array of shades of grey and the area they colour is an ode to this very moment in time; the absolute fragmentary joy of being present and aware in a constant renewal of the soul. Thank you and godspeed.
Villagers' new album Fever Dreams is out August 20.
