      Do we really have to kill the moment with this nonsense comments? Do you even know what kind of ceremony this is? This the Nobel Price awards, not bankers meeting. People from around the world get an award for a fantastic contribution to humanity, a contribution like Bob Marley did... this song is well placed in this ceremony and you all should have more respect when talking about things that you don't understand. Sorry about the tone but one gets really angry when seing these kind of comments from people whos best contribution to humanity is spitting out garbage like these.

    To the people thinking this song is a beautiful and touching piece, imagine this is only the tip of the iceberg, the icing on the cake of Bob Marley´s musical career. This is mainly why he is my favorite artist of all time, every album he has ever made is original and incredibly solid, there is such a perfection about his music, he grabbed a simple concept and molded it into a magic and pure sound that punches the soul in many ways.

    His voice when he sings ballads is just so sobering.
