Another great episode of Soul Music (BBC Radio 4): about Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song.” I listened last night. It didn’t make me feel better, but it did make me feel.
Here’s the Marley recording that runs through the episode.

My favorite Bob Marley song. The reference to "atomic energy" in the second verse has always puzzled me a bit.
ReplyDeleteAtom bombs, and world destruction? But “none of them can stop the time,” meaning that they won’t bring the world to an end before it’s supposed to end?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it was some kind of response to the No Nukes concerts.
ReplyDeleteThe timing seems right. Or maybe a response to Three Mile Island?
