Blowin'in the Wind--- Bob Dylan　

飘在风中 (Blowin'in the Wind)是美国民歌史上最重要的作品之一，原作者是被公认为民歌一代宗师的 Bob Dylan。这首歌写于1964年，这也是被称为“美国民谣摇滚之父”的他所有创作歌曲中最优秀、最出名的一首。1957年越战爆发，美国把大量的人力、物力投向越南战场，结果造成了惨重的伤亡。于是美国社会内部掀起了一股反战热潮与此同时，民歌也在全美各地校园流行起来.

虽然「Blowing in the Wind」的时代背景是越战时期的美国社会，但是这首歌的意境却可以说是「放诸四海而皆准」，同时始终深受世界各地人们的喜爱。当东欧与中东各地战火频传、当国人为政府与某些民间企业的不当措施采取激烈抗争手段的时候，总是令人不禁又想起这首歌曲。解决争端的方法其实显而易见，就像是飞扬在风中一样，只是有几人肯去倾听呢？ 这首歌也在电影《阿甘正传》中出现过。
