For this week’s song share I was able to choose a song that I’ve loved for a long time now. I chose Redemption Song by Bob Marley because I really like the meaning of the lyrics and the simplicity of its instrumentals. Since the first time I heard this song when I was about 10 years old I’ve been trying to understand the lyrics and what they truly mean. More recently I was able to understand that the song itself is a “redemption song” or more so a description of Marley’s outlook on the world and his perspective on hardship. I think it’s really important to note how he sings the song. He sings the song in a way that is almost like he’s telling a story and you can hear the inflection of sadness in his voice. I’m also going to leave a link to one of my favorite covers of this song in addition to the original.
