| Bob Marley and the Wailers – War Lyrics
| 23 years ago

This is probably my favorite Bob song and by far, his most powerful and influencial song he has ever performed. Bob sets to music the speech made presented to the United Nations by H.I.M Haile Selassie in 1936. Selassie's plea for human rights created the most powerful anti-racist statement.

| Bob Marley and the Wailers – No Woman No Cry Lyrics
| 23 years ago

|
This song is all about roots. I did my senior college thesis on Bob Marley and his political influence on the world and did some research into this song. And according to Bob, this song is about remembering where he is from after the fame and touring ignite the reggae boom around the world. He doesn't let that take away from sitting around the fire in Trenchtown with his old pals (Georgie) and never becoming too big for his roots. It's about being away from his home while he is touring and returning to his wife Rita and the rest of his family. It is about friendships and bonding. Bob tells a story in one of his books (I forget which one off hand) where he returns to Jamaica from his first big tour across America and takes out his acoustic guitar while him and some friends were sitting around a fire. He starts playing No Woman No Cry for the first time and his best friend Georgie broke down and started crying knowing how special Bob was and how much that song meant. Very powerful song indeed, and Bob was definitely a loyal friend, husband and familyman. |
