The Christians are the Christian brothers. Really very cool music.Kinda sorta english soul.The music isn't religious but certainly 'enlightened'. really a very good listen. |

Bob could pretty much do no wrong. His message seems tame in the upbeat sound of his songs but this one is pretty ominous to those "big trees" in power.

Very good comment, only one thing more i would like to say: also see his message that he is giving in all his songs. Think, that a lot of people dont understand the meanings. And also the Patois, what is the jamaican language! |

Listen to your Marley - it's good for you! But I don't want any Marley, Mom. Do you want the other kids to make fun of you? Listen to your Marley! I tried Mom, but it's just an empty bowl of puffery and self congratulation. Don't let anybody hear you say that, they'll think you're weird. I don't care, Mom - I want to be weird! Where did we go wrong? |

Interesting sidenote to the song: the title is something of a Jamaican pun. The Big Three were the dominant Kingston record labels at the time, against which Bob was venting some frustration. Big Three would of course be pronounced Big Tree for many Jamaicans.
This is not to say that the song isn't relevant to many situations in this postcolonial world of ours.

Gosh what's with all the "monotonous" comments? Of course it's the same beat on and on - like a mantra, no? Some cultures have music that is much more spiritually based than say, um, Justin Timberlake's "Sexyback" in America.

So I was having a not so great day. Made a couple of mistakes that cost me dearly in business. Then I turned on RP and heard the wonderful sounds of Bob Marley. It's hard to feel sorry for yourself with these uplifting tunes.
As for the negative comments, please, give it a one and move on. If you don't like what Bill is playing, TURN IT OFF.

Hey, my favorite Bob Marley song. Love the lyrics, the groove and the melody. Yes, the reggae beat can seem monotonous to those who haven't latched on to the melody yet, but you can say that about any genre of music, including bluegrass, country, hip hop, classical...

Great version. It's too bad Bob is so commercial that his message gets so harshly judged.

Wow, no comments since 2003.
My fiancee likes Marley poolside, but I find it monotonous and unimaginative while I am working.
