When Crickets Compose Music? (A little off topic)

I found this interesting.  It's the sound of crickets slowed down to the point where the life of the average cricket mirrors the lifespan of the average human.  Oh, the harmonies are exquisite!

Listening to this I was reminded of the lyrics of a certain Bob Dylan song.  As some of you may recall, I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan, in addition to loving classical music.  The song is from 1964, and it was not released on any Dylan album until 1985's  Biograph album, which is 3 CD retrospective on Dylan's work until that time.  The song is called Lay Down Your Weary Tune and the lyrics are as follows:

Lay down your weary tune, lay down.
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum.


Struck by the sounds before the sun
I knew the night had gone
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
Against the drums of dawn


Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum 
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum


The ocean wild like an organ played
The seaweed's wove its strands
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and sands


Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum


I stood unwound beneath the skies
And clouds unbound by laws
The cryin' rain like a trumpet sang
And asked for no applause


Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum


The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo played
To the winds that listened the best


I gazed down in the river's mirror
And watched its winding strum
The water smooth ran like a hymn
And like a harp did hum


Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

Here's Dylan performing the song.  This is not the track from Biograph, which was an outtake from Dylan's 1964 album The Times They Are A-Changin'.  I believe it's from the Witmark Demos.  Addendum:  This is not from Witmark, but probably the live performance in 1963 at Carnegie Chapter Hall in New York.

It's interesting that Dylan would be keen on the sounds of nature as if they are like a symphony.  There's a certain intuition there when one considers the case of the crickets in the video.
