Bob Marley has some of the most uplifting, life affirming songs. I truly believe he was a healer. You can't go wrong with any of his songs, but I think "Redemption Song" will blow you away with its heart and soul. Great reaction!
This should be a viral video for the conversation alone. I hear you both echoing the thoughts of millions of people that are so tired of the constant barrage of negativity in our society. This music brings us together
Paul Simon listed Bob Marley as one of the best song writers in Musical history, behind Gershwin and Lennon/McCartney. He wrote hundreds of songs in his short life.
@@RockyMtnRebecca Vincent Ford had been a close friend of Marley's in Kingston, and well into the 1990s he was claiming authorship of the song. One theory had Marley setting Ford's words to music, another reckons that by letting his disabled friend claim the songwriting credit, Marley sidestepped various legal and contractual difficulties. Or maybe it was an act of pure philanthropy - and Bob just wanted Vincent to have the royalties. This is more than possible as Marley himself stated that it was music that was more important to him than success.
@@RockyMtnRebecca Vincent Ford didn’t write this. No Woman No Cry was on the Natty Dread album - recorded at a time when there was a legal dispute between Marley and his publishing company. The majority of the songs on Natty Dread are credited to people other than Bob Marley in spite of the fact that he wrote them. He credited them to other people a) to ensure his old publishers didn’t get the rights to them b) to gift the people he credited as the writers some royalty payments. Bob Marley wrote all his songs - at least once he had split from the original Wailers. The Wailers (Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer) shared songwriting - although Marley completed the lion’s share.
@@AndersonDawesWasRight It was a great atmosphere because Marley was not yet a Superstar and so only REAL fans were there. The theatre in Central London, was small by American standards as it was built in the 19th century. Probably about 2000 people in there.
You're not the only person to cry listening to this Adam. I've cried a few times myself listening to this song and many of Bob Marleys songs. Some refer to him as a healer and I agree. That is one of the all time great live recording performances. So happy you guys did this version of this song. You need to react to the Bob Marley Legend album. Thanks again great video.
"Everything's gonna be alright... Everything's gonna be alright... Everything's gonna be alright... Everything's gonna be alright.." This always gets me. How many times do we need to hear this said to us.
Ive always loved how raw this recording is. There are mistakes, unintended sounds and other misshapes. NONE of it takes away from the message or degrades the quality.
This is the version on the the Legend album that was a very popular compilation album released shortly after he died. I wore that CD out, every song is awesome!
Andy & Alex, you'll love his "Could You Be Loved", "Is This Love", "Jammin' " and "Get Up Stand Up"!!!! Bob's Greatest Hits album 'Legend' is a treasured part of my collection!!! Bob's wife Rita was in a group called the I Threes who often provided backing vocals. Stevie Wonder's song "Master Blaster" is a tribute to Bob.
Adam you are my hero. There have been so many times I have listened to music and all of a sudden tears. It’s SUPPOSED to provoke emotion! !!! What a beautiful reaction 🥰🥰🥰💝💝
This reaction was in exactly the right register. Sometimes a pop song is not just a pop song. Everywhere in the world there are songs that, when played to an audience that is actively listening to them, will elicit tears. NWNC would be at the top of that list for many, many people--in Jamaica still, perhaps, but certainly far beyond its shores as well. Such was the amazing musical charisma that Marley brought to the stage, which is after all part of why he is such a legend, and why his influence stretches so far beyond any conceivable cultural boundaries.
Really beautiful to watch you two guys flowing with the emotions as they arise, respectful of each other, sensitive to the condition of mankind... This is why we watch music-reaction videos, *Adam* -- to witness authentic reactions to music. Thank you. 😇 🙏
Has the feel of a song they've played for a long time and keep finding ways to improve it. The organ's playfulness and the percussion's frills and fills, especially the claps - so good.
Went to a Springsteen show in 2003 and they played this during pre show. The whole crowd was singing along. Totally lit the night on fire. Bruce came out and picked up the energy and played one of the most incredible shows I've ever seen him do.
The enduring value of this channel is that we really listen to a song we may have heard many times over the years, hearing and feeling the music in whole new ways.
Jenny, that's so true, when watching them react to a song I've heard a million times, I do hear it like I've never heard it before, it's quite amazing! I'm addicted! *S*
Have always loved this mellow, chill tune by Bob Marley. Makes me emotional. Other good Marley songs are "Could You Be Loved", "Is This Love" among others. Thanks so much guys for posting and reacting to this gem!🧡
One Love/People Get Ready; Three Little Birds; Buffalo Soldier-his greatest hits CD(I'm dating myself!) can stand with the best there is! If Marley & The Wailers can't being a smile to your face, it's a REALLY sad day.
my favourite vocalist because his delivery is flawless and authentic. he conveys so much emotion on so many different levels in a way that cannot be emulated.
This live track demonstrates the brilliance of Bob and his band. Bob was also one of the all-time great recording artists. His singles and albums are perfection - Songwriting, performance, arrangement, production, lyric, message, innovation. The reggae cannon is full of great recordings that have filled the British and international charts for decades.
Hands down, one of the greatest songs of any era. I absolutely am humbled by not only the talent of Bob Marley but even more so of his humanity a true legend who left us too early. Thanks for the reaction.
I've been at a lot of great gigs in my 70 years, but if I could turn back the clock I'd be in that audience at the Lyceum in London to be part of that heart-warming experience. Bob Marley was an inspiration to people who knew nothing about growing up in Jamaica. Loved the man.
To me, he always seemed like one of those elite figures like Bob Dylan, or Johnny Cash, or Jimi Hendrix. He just seemed to arrive fully formed, and beyond mere mortals. It's like every moment we might have ever had around him was a gift...
Bob Marley IS reggae for tens of millions of casual listeners. He took the genre to the masses, his music is timeless and he will always be synonymous with it.
Thanks Guys! I needed this, I recently lost my father and this song was played at his funeral at his request. I was shedding a tear or two along with you 😢
Sorry for your loss. I think of my son who died when I hear this. He would sing this song in the car when he was only 5 years old! He loved music & Bob Marley was a favorite!
"I Shot The Sheriff', "Jamming", "Sun is Shining", "Could You Be Loved", "Buffalo Soldier" come to mind at the top of my head. Reggae music is so relaxing.😎
Bro I cry every time I hear this song. Sometimes its just the lyrics, sometimes its the musicality, sometimes its just the vibe. Each on their own could break you down but that trio together will change up your whole day.
"No woman, no cry"...have heard this hundreds of times but never really understood what that meant. Thank you, Andy and Adam for helping me know it. RIP, Bob Marley.
I'm not a big reggae fan either. A little goes a long way. But this song is phenomenal and Marley was a groundbreaking, incredible artist. A true loss way too soon. I hope Alex gives this one a listen sometime! (eta: awesome reaction, Adam! Glad I'm not the only one who gets super-emotional about music
John Prine. He is not Reggae. But he is a story teller and writes lyrics that touch the range of emotions. He can bring you to tears from either laughing or crying. You say you like story teling, well you need to listen to this artist. Not many in his level of songwriting.
The Bruised Orange album played through the walls all through my childhood. “Bruised Orange (Chain of Sorrow)” and “That’s the way that the world goes around” are my favorites from the album.
Music (and poetry) is made to make you feel. Different songs make you feel different things. That's one of the main reasons we listen to music. I cry listening to music all the time!
Great reaction, guys--appreciate the showing of emotion. Music is definitely a form of emotional expression. Of all the art forms, it definitely speaks to me at the deepest level of what I consider my collective humanity.
The first time I heard this, it felt like a song my soul already knew. A true spiritual. One that transcends race, creed, nationality, or any other label we use to define ourselves or others. That's how powerful it is. Please, please, please, come back around to Bob Marley quickly. We need more of this. Please also check out Stevie Wonder's ode to Bob Marley, his amazing song "Master Blaster (Jammin')".
Love to see someone be emotionally involved in a song. Music can lift, drop sometimes both simultaneously Great reaction guys, on a lighter note Andy & Adam's reggae request show has a real ring to it 😀
I don't blame you for crying. I was in Jamaica two weeks ago, in Falmouth, and Montego Bay, and his music was everywhere, it was a wonderful experience, riding in a tour bus, and visiting a school, and listening to the Mon. I bought a mug with his likeness on it. I was 15 when he died, just as I was getting into his music.
If you are ever in Kingstown Jamaica, they turned one of Bob Marleys last houses into a museum, and you can still see the bullet holes in the wall from the assassination attempt on his life.
An immaculate and emotional performance from a genuine musical legend, there will never be anyone like Bob Marley ever again, he teanscended reggae and music into politics, and life in general the Mohammed Ali of music.
Of all the As, I think Adam is my favourite. Also I freakin love reggae. A Jamaican friend of mine, ten years before I knew her, said she was prepared to kill or be killed for a ticket. She got one and said her heart overflowed with pure joy.
The song is dedicated to his wife, Rita Marley, who was his backup singer. She's actually one of the three women singing backup in this performance. In this song he's reminiscing about their humble start when they had just gotten married, before they became musically successful. He's also honouring his friends who were there with them throughout the hard times.
Bro your comment should be on top you just spilled facts 💯Rita made this song with him and captain took it to where your referring to the fact to your comment brother god bless you
When reggae hit in the early 70s it was a beautiful breath of energy on the scene. Marley was a wonderful man and artist. He arrived with Jimmy Cliff and Burning Spear and other wonderful musicians. Uplifting is the word! ❤
Had a college roommate back in the 80s from Ivory Coast who turned me onto Bob Marley. Apparently Marley's a revered figure in the Third World national independence movements --Redemption Song was huge in Africa.
I count seeing him in person as one of the best things that has happened in my life. His performance was truly magical and his music has the ability to tell stories that touch people.
Bob Marley only made music about peace and love and his message was all about bringing people all over the world together and and end to war.... love you Bob Marley.
This performance has to be one of the most iconic ever. From the beginning the crowd was so in tune and you can just feel the energy in that room. Insane.
The year was 1991, i was a southern girl living in california...this is where I first was introduced to Reggae and Bob Marley. I fell in love. Soul Rebel is my favorite...
I often cry when I hear No Woman No Cry. One of my favorite reggae songs. Bob Marley is what brought reggae to me and within a short time I loved the genre and so many musicians. I love the Marley kids. It’s so sad Markey died before his time, and I never got to see him live. One day Alex will be open to reggae and he’ll fall in love with Bob Marley. In time. When one is young today, and there is so much music to discover… it takes time. When I was his age, in the ‘70s, so much music was being created. New bands were formed and then new albums by those new bands. My generation was very fortunate.
That's the great double of the song, it say's l, "Don't cry woman" when the hidden meaning of the song is to make the "Men" cry...(regardless of gender, were talking nurturer/protector roles) as invokes the sacrifice of sharing your meager ration with another or remembering the lost...Andy nailed it...
You don't need to follow, or even like reggae to appreciate the beauty & groove of this piece, nor the power of it's words! This has LONG been my favourite Marley track, and he has so many. He spoke of love, peace & understanding, and he lived it! RIP Bob.
"Iron Lion Zion" and "Redemption Song" are my two favorite Bob Marley tunes, simply magnificent. Such an influential artist and force the world over. Hard to hate on virtually any BM tune.
Hi again Adam... 😘 I used to go to the "Reggae Night" at this club back in the 90s. I enjoyed myself a LOT! Dancing non-stop. Seeing Adam get emotional made me like him even more. ♥♥♥ ((((( HUGS )))))
Music is power. Properly done, music can speak to you. Music can touch your soul so deeply. Like both of you, I have cried many a tear because of music. Thank you for being so truly open to all music. Andy summed it up perfectly at the end with 'Peace' because it was what we were all about. Geez, we had Vietnam, the Cold War, hostages in Iran, people hijacking planes, snipers set up in high rise hotels... maybe that is why we needed music as we did, why it meant so much to us. We sought out music that made us feel something good. Peace to you Andy and Adam.
I’d like to take you back to 5:19, when Bob sings “No woman no cry”, the crowd sings the response, Bob sings it again, then he and the crowd sing the response together. That part always gives me chills.
I tear up almost every time I hear this song, it brings back memories of listening to it with my sister who passed away in 2002 I miss her so much 😭.. bob's lyrics are always powerful
I thought I would be immune to the countless times I've jammed out Marley... but I'm sitting here sobbing like a schoolboy with the amount of pain, joy and unity in the connection of it all. Marley lived a life most indicative of an artist that really LIVED it. I don't think I can be a moth to such a powerful flame with any other artist even though I rarely go down his rabbit hole of material as much as I used to. I'm glad it still amazes me. ❤️
This song is just an autobiography of my childhood- Jamaica is a hard place to grow up but cooking whole meal porridge what Jamaican or what Jamaican decent can't remember that. My favourite lines....observing the hypocrites as the mingle with the good people and my feet are my only carriage- most powerful imagery I still have to come across in modern music.
Bob Marley was a force and movement, he left this earth way too early. His music is as deep and meaningful as he was. You can feel his soul through his music, that is a rare quality ❤️🇯🇲❤️
Bob Marley has some of the most uplifting, life affirming songs. I truly believe he was a healer. You can't go wrong with any of his songs, but I think "Redemption Song" will blow you away with its heart and soul. Great reaction!
Amen to "Redemption Song"!
Hard to top the amazing lyrics of "Redemption Song", but I would add "Small Axe" & "Them Belly Full" as well.
Oh Dear Lord, Redemption Song is just such a song of hope and sadness wrapped in a miracle .Humbling 🙏🏼
Wholeheartedly agree 🙌🏻
10000% yes, Redemption song.
This should be a viral video for the conversation alone. I hear you both echoing the thoughts of millions of people that are so tired of the constant barrage of negativity in our society. This music brings us together
Music always has done.
This recording of this song just feels like you’re in church. Inspirational, uplifting, moving and you feel it in your bones.

He not wrong
"Its like a hug" .. .one of the best descriptions for Bob Marley ever
Andy's so open to all types of music. Adam, thanks for sharing such a lovely song!
I can't imagine not being into a wide variety of music.
Need to hit “Redemption Song” next. He is an amazing songwriter, so many great songs. He’s in my top 5 favorite artists .
That's a really good one!
Agreed, and Alex should be on that reaction too, along with Andy and Adam
That song should be saved for once they’ve become accustomed with Bobs music
I was there that night in 1975. It was at the Lyceum. I was accustomed to this song but not performed in this ballad style. I still love it.
Me too. One of the greatest nights of my life.
I always assumed this was from an outdoor festival, it just reeks of hot summer night in the park to me. Must have been an amazing vibe that night.
@@AndersonDawesWasRight It was a great atmosphere because Marley was not yet a Superstar and so only REAL fans were there. The theatre in Central London, was small by American standards as it was built in the 19th century. Probably about 2000 people in there.
If you are going to chose a version of the song this was definitely the version to chose.
Wow. You are so blessed to have been there seeing and hearing this live.
You're not the only person to cry listening to this Adam. I've cried a few times myself listening to this song and many of Bob Marleys songs.
Some refer to him as a healer and I agree. That is one of the all time great live recording performances.
So happy you guys did this version of this song.
You need to react to the Bob Marley Legend album.
Thanks again great video.
"Everything's gonna be alright... Everything's gonna be alright... Everything's gonna be alright... Everything's gonna be alright.."
This always gets me. How many times do we need to hear this said to us.
Yes. This proves we all need to hear this. Especially in todays society. 😢
Ive always loved how raw this recording is. There are mistakes, unintended sounds and other misshapes. NONE of it takes away from the message or degrades the quality.
Bob Marley is one of those artists that literally doesn't have a bad song..
That's so true! And he is also the most spiritual rock music maker. He was with the Lord.
And this is my favorite song of his.
He was the Soul of Jamaica .... One Love
O - H !
@@FrankeeLee223 I-O!

Buffalo Soldier is a must
@@benshafer5198 🎵fighting on arrival, fighting for survival🎵
I loved to see them experience a live video too.
I'd also add Buffalo Soldiers to that list.
This is such a sublime performance. You can feel the crowd & artist coming together to make a great moment in time.
This is among the finest live albums ever! You have to listen to the whole thing.🖖🏼
Absolutely.
Adam you are my hero. There have been so many times I have listened to music and all of a sudden tears. It’s SUPPOSED to provoke emotion! !!! What a beautiful reaction 🥰🥰🥰💝💝
These few minutes of magic is just about the most emotive, electric, passionate and profound piece of live music ever committed to tape.
This reaction was in exactly the right register. Sometimes a pop song is not just a pop song. Everywhere in the world there are songs that, when played to an audience that is actively listening to them, will elicit tears. NWNC would be at the top of that list for many, many people--in Jamaica still, perhaps, but certainly far beyond its shores as well. Such was the amazing musical charisma that Marley brought to the stage, which is after all part of why he is such a legend, and why his influence stretches so far beyond any conceivable cultural boundaries.
The promise that everything is going to be alright is a great reason to cry, imo.
Really beautiful to watch you two guys flowing with the emotions as they arise, respectful of each other, sensitive to the condition of mankind... This is why we watch music-reaction videos, *Adam* -- to witness authentic reactions to music. Thank you.
😇
🙏
That was quite the reaction. Music is definitely an artform that can hit the buttons. Magical stuff guys 👍
Has the feel of a song they've played for a long time and keep finding ways to improve it. The organ's playfulness and the percussion's frills and fills, especially the claps - so good.
Listening to Marley is a spiritual experience. He transcended popular music and connected with people all over the world.
Went to a Springsteen show in 2003 and they played this during pre show. The whole crowd was singing along. Totally lit the night on fire. Bruce came out and picked up the energy and played one of the most incredible shows I've ever seen him do.
❤❤❤

Adam, What a perfect way to describe this song! I’ve definitely shed a tear listening to this song. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks Adam. Marley is Essential and genre crossing to a wide range of tastes.
Have always loved this mellow, chill tune by Bob Marley. Makes me emotional. Other good Marley songs are "Could You Be Loved", "Is This Love" among others. Thanks so much guys for posting and reacting to this gem!🧡
Get up
Stand up
Don't give up the fight 🤔
A Healer
A Philosopher
A Revolutionary...
He changed the World ☺️❤️💛💚✌️😘
Love those two suggested tunes.
@@johnboydTx Agree John!!☺🦋
One Love/People Get Ready; Three Little Birds; Buffalo Soldier-his greatest hits CD(I'm dating myself!) can stand with the best there is! If Marley & The Wailers can't being a smile to your face, it's a REALLY sad day.

The audience participation in this version really puts it over the top. Bobs on the top of his game too. Loved it!
Dude guy has my official endorcement to suggest as many songs as he likes. Great choice (and the right version too)
Thanks Guys!
I needed this, I recently lost my father and this song was played at his funeral at his request.
I was shedding a tear or two along with you 😢
I’m so sorry for your loss. What a powerful way to remember him.
So sorry for the loss of your father.
Sorry for your loss. I think of my son who died when I hear this. He would sing this song in the car when he was only 5 years old! He loved music & Bob Marley was a favorite!
So so sorry brother for your loss, Jah.
"I Shot The Sheriff', "Jamming", "Sun is Shining", "Could You Be Loved", "Buffalo Soldier" come to mind at the top of my head. Reggae music is so relaxing.😎
Bob Marley was the hero of my youth. You should dare to hear more from him. Everything's gonna be alright!
You guys nailed this one. Music is emotion. Simple thing at it’s heart: does it move you, or not?
Bro I cry every time I hear this song. Sometimes its just the lyrics, sometimes its the musicality, sometimes its just the vibe. Each on their own could break you down but that trio together will change up your whole day.
A transcendent piece of music. The energy in that room is overwhelming
Redemption song will break you. Bob Marley was a superb human being. He had a cool that you cannot fake.
God damn. What a beautiful moment seeing people share the feelings I have for music. Never change you beautiful bastard. ♥️
"No woman, no cry"...have heard this hundreds of times but never really understood what that meant. Thank you, Andy and Adam for helping me know it. RIP, Bob Marley.
Thanks guys, I fully appreciate your tender hearts💗 And listening to Adam's voice is a rare treat💝

I don’t often listen to reggae, but when I do it’s Bob Marley. He’s like Bob Ross…soothes you every time.

Oh boy! Another JP fan. So many great songs I wouldn’t know what to recommend ☮️
The Bruised Orange album played through the walls all through my childhood. “Bruised Orange (Chain of Sorrow)” and “That’s the way that the world goes around” are my favorites from the album.
Love Bonnie Raitt’s version of Angel from Montgomery- cool to play her then hers back to back
I was lucky enough to have seen him 9 times. Once was at Summerfest in Milwaukee with Steve Goodman. The best♥️
Not ashamed to say he gets my vote for best American songwriter and storyteller. Sorry Robert Zimmerman.
A perfect example of the power of music to bring out your emotions that words along cannot.
Music (and poetry) is made to make you feel. Different songs make you feel different things. That's one of the main reasons we listen to music. I cry listening to music all the time!

One of those songs that are better live. Love Bob.

love the audience during this live recording
Love to see someone be emotionally involved in a song. Music can lift, drop sometimes both simultaneously Great reaction guys, on a lighter note Andy & Adam's reggae request show has a real ring to it 😀
Adam, I also had a moment 🧡 It's a beautiful, powerful song.
I don't blame you for crying. I was in Jamaica two weeks ago, in Falmouth, and Montego Bay, and his music was everywhere, it was a wonderful experience, riding in a tour bus, and visiting a school, and listening to the Mon.

If you are ever in Kingstown Jamaica, they turned one of Bob Marleys last houses into a museum, and you can still see the bullet holes in the wall from the assassination attempt on his life.
I always enjoy seeing Adam and hearing his point of view.
Whenever I listen to him live, I just imagine myself in that crowd watching, singing along and smiling. Legend.
Adam, there have been many times that I too have had a very strong emotional cry because of a great song. Kudos for this song reaction.
thanks G T
An immaculate and emotional performance from a genuine musical legend, there will never be anyone like Bob Marley ever again, he teanscended reggae and music into politics, and life in general the Mohammed Ali of music.
I heard this one at so many college parties I think I became a little numb to it. Thanks for helping me feel it again
Bob Marley just touches the soul. Thank goodness he came and left us his gift.💗
Of all the As, I think Adam is my favourite. Also I freakin love reggae.

Ahhhhhh yessss! My 1st concert I ever went to....what a life-changing experience. Thank you Bob.
I had the great pleasure of seeing Bob Marley and the wailers at the catalyst in Santa Cruz CA in 1979. It was amazing.
Bob Marley only made music about peace and love and his message was all about bringing people all over the world together and and end to war.... love you Bob Marley.
A beautiful song. "Good friends we had and goods friends we lost along the way."
The crowd understood their assignment.
There are artists that transcend...then there's Bob Marley.
Bob live was, to this day, the best concert I have ever been to.
This performance has to be one of the most iconic ever. From the beginning the crowd was so in tune and you can just feel the energy in that room. Insane.
The year was 1991, i was a southern girl living in california...this is where I first was introduced to Reggae and Bob Marley. I fell in love. Soul Rebel is my favorite...
I often cry when I hear No Woman No Cry. One of my favorite reggae songs. Bob Marley is what brought reggae to me and within a short time I loved the genre and so many musicians. I love the Marley kids. It’s so sad Markey died before his time, and I never got to see him live.
One day Alex will be open to reggae and he’ll fall in love with Bob Marley. In time. When one is young today, and there is so much music to discover… it takes time. When I was his age, in the ‘70s, so much music was being created. New bands were formed and then new albums by those new bands. My generation was very fortunate.
"Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way". This is a song of life. Thanks for doign this one :)
More Adam! Love his genuine reaction.
Adam, thanks again for bringing songs with depth. Love your experience beyond the mainstream.
Great to see you again, Adam. Hugs.
That's the great double of the song, it say's l, "Don't cry woman" when the hidden meaning of the song is to make the "Men" cry...(regardless of gender, were talking nurturer/protector roles) as invokes the sacrifice of sharing your meager ration with another or remembering the lost...Andy nailed it...
You don't need to follow, or even like reggae to appreciate the beauty & groove of this piece, nor the power of it's words! This has LONG been my favourite Marley track, and he has so many. He spoke of love, peace & understanding, and he lived it! RIP Bob.
"Iron Lion Zion" and "Redemption Song" are my two favorite Bob Marley tunes, simply magnificent. Such an influential artist and force the world over. Hard to hate on virtually any BM tune.
Hi again Adam... 😘 I used to go to the "Reggae Night" at this club back in the 90s. I enjoyed myself a LOT! Dancing non-stop. Seeing Adam get emotional made me like him even more. ♥♥♥ ((((( HUGS )))))
Music is power. Properly done, music can speak to you. Music can touch your soul so deeply. Like both of you, I have cried many a tear because of music. Thank you for being so truly open to all music. Andy summed it up perfectly at the end with 'Peace' because it was what we were all about. Geez, we had Vietnam, the Cold War, hostages in Iran, people hijacking planes, snipers set up in high rise hotels... maybe that is why we needed music as we did, why it meant so much to us. We sought out music that made us feel something good. Peace to you Andy and Adam.
I’d like to take you back to 5:19, when Bob sings “No woman no cry”, the crowd sings the response, Bob sings it again, then he and the crowd sing the response together. That part always gives me chills.
Anyone who professes to not like reggae, has not listened to Bob Marley. More Marley please! Waiting In Vain is a must listen! ❤
I tear up almost every time I hear this song, it brings back memories of listening to it with my sister who passed away in 2002 I miss her so much 😭.. bob's lyrics are always powerful
this song is on the legendary songs list for sure
I thought I would be immune to the countless times I've jammed out Marley... but I'm sitting here sobbing like a schoolboy with the amount of pain, joy and unity in the connection of it all. Marley lived a life most indicative of an artist that really LIVED it.
I don't think I can be a moth to such a powerful flame with any other artist even though I rarely go down his rabbit hole of material as much as I used to. I'm glad it still amazes me. ❤️
Bob Marley is a great illustration of how VIBE is so important in music.
8:55... I feel ya man! One of the most emotional voices in all music.
This song is just an autobiography of my childhood- Jamaica is a hard place to grow up but cooking whole meal porridge what Jamaican or what Jamaican decent can't remember that. My favourite lines....observing the hypocrites as the mingle with the good people and my feet are my only carriage- most powerful imagery I still have to come across in modern music.
Bob Marley was a force and movement, he left this earth way too early. His music is as deep and meaningful as he was. You can feel his soul through his music, that is a rare quality ❤️🇯🇲❤️
Heather, will you marry me?
