Dylan at the Movies: Every Grain of Sand

In honor of his 79th birthday this month (May 24), we are looking at some of the songs by Bob Dylan that have made their way to the cinema. From the YouTube notes we see how one of Dylan's songs was effectively used in this closing scene:

Final scene of the film "Another Day In Paradise", perhaps one of the best film moments in which a Bob [Dylan] song has fitted perfectly. I don't want to give spoilers of the plot, I will only mention that the boy we see running through the cornfield is fleeing from a lifestyle that was about to kill him. Each step forwards is one more step to a new rebirth, the subject of "Every Grain Of Sand".

In honor of Bob Dylan's birthday this week, I'm sharing some of his songs performed by other singers. Emmylou Harris sang "Every Grain of Sand" at Johnny Cash's funeral in 2003. She recorded the song for her album The Wrecking Ball. Dylan first recorded the song for his Shot of Love album released in 1981.
