"The first time I heard this song I cried my eyes out - it was just a year after Joe's death and I still couldn't believe he was gone...Listening to this again now I still well up with tears... Joe was no saint but he was truly inspirational and we need more people like him in the world today...The Clash were OUR band and they've never been replaced... Thank you Joe for the life you lived and the music and lyrics you gave us! " Joeatkins118 |

In Redemption Song, Marley urges listeners to "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery," because "None but ourselves can free our minds..." these lines came from a speech by Marcus Garvey in Nova Scotia in October of 1937...
profound... love it...

I can't find any *real* evidence, but some christians have claimed that almost every public figure, from Darwin to Sagan had some sort of "deathbed confession". I don't know why they do that..perhaps some christians have less "faith" than others, and need to hear stories like that. |

Just for a moment, before yer man started singing, I thought the intro was that of Half Man Half Biscuit's "Trumpton Riots". I'll get over the disappointment ;)

I refuse to score this less than 9 but it's so overplayed, I have to mute it (and all Marley.) And if I hear one more busker singing this....
