Not Dark Yet by Bob Dylan
I'm so happy to have found a spot for Dylan in this countdown. Much of his greatest work and my favorites were released before I was born. I really began digging into his catalog in my grad school days which was right before his renaissance, brought about with the album Time Out of Mind from which this song springs. At the time, I thought Dylan was portending his imminent departure from the living--but since '97, he's released nine more albums, written his two volume autobiography, and won the Nobel Prize while touring on an endless loop. Not bad production from age 56 to 81 for the Hibbing, Minnesota native and an excellent statement that life doesn't need to fritter away on the other side of the half-century mark.
