"Every Grain of Sand" is a song written by Bob Dylan, recorded in Los Angeles in the spring of 1981 and released in August of that year on Dylan's album ''Shot of Love''. It was subsequently included on the compilation ''Biograph''. An early version of the song, recorded in September 1980 and featuring Jennifer Warnes on backing vocal, was released in 1991 on ''The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991''. The song appeared on the soundtrack for the 1997 film ''Another Day In Paradise''. ==Song structure and lyrics== Dylan had, according to his biographer Ian Bell, become a born-again Christian in November 1978. While "Every Grain of Sand" contain powerful allusions to Jesus, faith, and spirituality (‘In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand / In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand’). ''Rolling Stone'' described it as a "mature update" of Dylan's 1964 song "Chimes of Freedom". The song was well known for its haunting imagery, which has been compared to that of William Blake. Although it is filled with numerous Biblical references, it may also have been partly inspired by the following lines from William Blake's Auguries of Innocence: ''To see a world in a grain of sand'' ''And a heaven in a wild flower,'' ''Hold infinity in the palm of your hand'' ''And eternity in an hour.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Every Grain of Sand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
