Non sono semplici. Qualunque testo è semplice se solo "sentito". Lo devi ascoltare e capire. Non voglio correggerti, però semplice non è il termine per Bob Marley.
Saw Marley live in about ‘78 I think. His performance was transcendent. I had heard about the way he performed for years, but to see it live was mesmerizing. Peter Tosh came from backstage and sang his part in Get Up Stand Up. They brought the house down with Exodus. This show I count as one of the most iconic concerts I ever attended. .
I wish more people actually listened and researched Marley’s lyrics... They’d find so much depth and activist messages that floated past the western white colonial imperialism mindset much the same way capoeira was looked at as dancing. He was an amazing composer and lyricist.
I never gave Marley a chance because of how hes been commercialized in stoner culture, I kindof feel ashamed for never looking deeper. These videos always seem to give me a new perspective which I really quite love, no doubt other people feel the same way so thank you.
Marley, like so many artists, aren’t appreciated until they’re gone. I still don’t think he gets his due as one of the greatest artists ever. I’ve never heard a bad Bob Marley song. Not to mention the culture impact that was shaped by his music and message.
man, it always felt like a psy op to completely neuter this mans legacy by only making him a weed meme. this man was as revolutionary and civically minded as any musician and honestly more than most. a damn shame
Lot's of people always thought I was a stoner as a teenager because he was one of my few biggest artists. (I'd wear t-shirt with him on, plus rasta colours & the like) So yeah, learnt that early on, the only thing people associate him with is weed. I have nothing against weed, but real shame his messages gets diluted. Although in regards to mainstream adoption, I must say, as a "best of" album, Legend is absolutely great as is. Usually I don't like compilation albums, but always could listen to this one =) Oh, one last thing, people always think his music is all love & unity, it is, but he was just as much a warrior ;) The album name & cover of "Soul Rebels" I absolutely love, very clear message :P
I'm convinced that Mr. Polyphonic chose this album 50% for its importance and significance and 50% so he can continue making a walking cycle animation for the videos. My prediction for the next video is I Walk the Line (as Walk on the Wild Side was done already).
Excellent video, as always, despite the mispronunciation of Rastafari (rhymes with eye). As a side note - the lyric is actually "Sold Marcus Garvey for RICE" (not rights as it's usually quoted) meaning that black nations of the Caribbean had given up on the dream of black economic and political independence in favour of putting food on the table. Which is actually an excellent critique of 20th century Caribbean history ! Truly one of the great lyricists.
Your visuals add so much - I think this is one of your best videos to date from a visual standpoint. Of course your music history and analysis are top notch, but that was always a strength of your channel. I would love to see a video on Graceland by Paul Simon - a lot to unpack there, and is a topic I’ve been covering with my students.
I’d love to see a video on “Rhythm of the Saints”, too. Such a wonderful album where you can hear how Paul Simon gives even more space to the musicians he’s collaborating with following the success of “Graceland”.
My dad had two bob marley musical items back in our apartment, the natural mystic album from 1994, and his live at the rainbow DVD. And I was so obsessed with natural mystic. I would always tell my dad to repeat the song over and over again. I’m even more obsessed with bobs music nowadays, but it’s nice to go back to classics.
Hi from Jamaica, I showed my dad this video who was a friend of Bob Marley and he said he loved what you did with this video! Through research was clearly done. Love this video
Bob Marley was one of the best humans that humanity has ever known. Did you see the joy he experienced when he joined the politicians at the unity concert? That was pure! Rest in peace, Bob Marley.
My wife and I went to stay at a farm in Jamaica called Zimbali. The people were so kind and sincere. We met Rastas who explained the faith and shared their meals with us. I can't explain, but Jamaica is a special place with so much soul. If you can, please go and see the real country away from the resorts. There are many safe places, such as Zimbali, look them up!
Bob Marley’s music has gotten me through the roughest times in my life…My mother’s sickness and her death, my terrible job loss. His music inspired me and made me feel less alone in the world. You cannot listen to Bob Marley and not feel hopeful, proud, and enlightened. His music saved me…
As someone who as spent their life devouring information about the life and music of Bob Marley, this video is absolutely appreciated and extremely well done. Love the attention the detail and the context provided about this pivotal time in Marley’s life. Thank you for this!!!
I was about fifteen when Exodus came out. I don't recall of ever even hearing of him before that. One night I saw Marley performing the song on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. I was blown away. I obsessed over him. Never got that performance out of my mind. about ten years later Ziggy came out with 'Conscious Party' and was promoting it in concert in my hometown. never got to see his Dad live so out of sheer curiosity I went to check it out. Again, blown away. Ziggy may not be a reincarnation of his Dad, but he is close. I started collecting both Marley's work around that time (I had a job and made decent money by then) and am proud to have them all. Thank the gods for the Marley family.
As a a Jamaican I must say your pronunciation and research was on point! I mean really well done. Some of these topics and themes weren't discussed even when I was in Jamaica
The "research" would be more impressive if the narrator didn't repeatedly mispronounce Rastafari (using an E sound at the end instead of an I), and call practitioners "RastafarEEs" instead of Rastafarians. It shows a total lack of knowledge.
Bob Marley both was and is an incredible artist. A true legend in every sense of the word. He brought Reggae music to the masses. And promoted love, peace and kindness to all. His much is truly timeless and will never fade. This is a wonderful video/tribute to him. RIP Bob Marley 1945-1981 God Bless Him 😎🙏🏻💯❤
Bob Marley is one of my heroes. His songs shaped my worldview and to this day motivate me to keep trying my best to change the world for the better. Whatever it takes we will change it. Get up, stand up, for your rights, don't give up the fight.
As I along time fan (I saw him in '79, but had been buying albums since Natty Dread), I was dismayed/incensed when Island released Legend. A huge hit, it spread Marley's name into the African American population in the US, but very consciously de-emphasized his revolutionary fervor. The 'Don't Worry, Be Happy/Island hippie' vibe, heavy on the love songs, was marketing genius but resulted in exactly what you suddenly realized. In his lifetime, few African Americans were fans, and official Jamaica scoffed. Marley was definitely interested in gaining a larger American audience, but he put the love songs on the back of Exodus and on Kaya, and only judiciously sprinkled other commercial ones elsewhere. It wasn't until much later that people became interested in/less scared of his revolutionary ideas or his specific embrace of his African heritage. As Americans began flocking to Jamaica for vacations in the 90's, the Tourist Bureau there reluctantly and very late began using reggae to advertise Jamaica...but again, Three Little Birds and the corporate schlock of 'Come Back To Jamaica'. I would be hard-pressed and reluctant to condense Marley's message into one 40-minute record, but if I did, it wouldn't sound like Legend, which only has Get Up Stand Up, Exodus and I Shot The Sheriff to represent what he was more about. And yes, I know 'Don't Worry' and 'Come Back' are not Marley songs, but they were both a big part of what the public came to understand reggae was. Imagine that...tropical beach vibes in one of the hardest places on earth. Rope-haired, bizarre anti-establishment Bible-thumping to some kind of slow African beat was not what most Americans were in the mood for, even if the dope-smoking was intriguing. Any hints of socialism or back-to-the-roots was beyond their ken then. History is deep and convoluted, and I make no claims that Legend is the sole reason that "...a lot of Marley fans miss what he was trying to get across...", but it helped. Or hurt. And I'll end by noting that European audiences were much more receptive, and much earlier, (and not just in the UK, with it's sizable West Indian population), than Americans in the U.S. But we have the market share, so...Legend. Fortunately, there's everything else, and it's all still available.
In my humble opinion, this is the greatest album of all time. It hits in a way that transcends time and location and much like the great religions, the themes are fundamental and universal and reach deep into your core. Even if you’re not a reggae fan, this album is one of the greatest musical achievements of all time. Deceptively simple music, but if you’ve ever played reggae, then you get it. Bless! 🇬🇳
Even from just an audio engineering standpoint, this record just sounds timeless. It's so hard for my ears to identify when it was made, even though I know exactly when.
I haven't looked up an album to start listening to that fast in a long time! A whole new light! I wish i had adults in my life when i was growing up that would have explained this album to me. Instead of letting us fend for ourselves like lost boys, thinking everything was all about drugs
You are doing great work. I know you talked about the pressures and your own struggles with the negative comments in your video on the '27', mental health and addiction - but I hope you hear enough people telling you that you are doing really good work - you are, and that work is important and meaningful even as it entertains. So thanks for all the videos, I love music and I love what you are doing with your essays on music and the issues that music can shed light on.
There was a period in the 80s where I was in a very dark place. My life was immersed in drug addiction, alcoholism, and other things I won't mention in public. My copy of Exodus was the ONLY connection I had to the Light. Eventually, I turned my back on that, and walked a different path. Bob Marley's music was an integral component in leading me there.
This channel makes me appreciate music so much more than just nice sounds. I never really thought that deep into songs like One Love or Three Little Birds, but now I’ll listen to them with a new look. Great content as always
Great Video. There is an interesting history on how Rastafarianism was birth. Ras Teferi Mekonnen was the last Emperror of Ethiopia and the religion was named after him.
“The people who are trying to make this world worse aren’t taking a day off, why should I?” That’s a great fuckin quote, it’s like something out of superhero film. But better since he played for 90 minutes with a bullet in his arm.
wow I never knew that there was so much more behind the commercialised image of Marley (altough I should have guessed). I always enjoyed his well known songs like 'three little birds' and 'one love' but now I have a whole new level of respect for the man behind them. Your videos always teach me about the icons and pioneers behind the genres I listen to now and allows me to appreciate the music I listen to in a whole new way at a whole different level. so yeah thanks for that!
Thanks for doing a video about Bob Marley, probably the most influential musician worldwide to this day. An amazing lyricist who kept the words simple but powerful so everyone could understand, and truly believed in the ideals of peace, love, and unity. It doesn't hurt that the rhythms groove so hard either.
Jamaica is still being plagued with violence and a corrupt government. I wonder what Bob would say about Jamaica if he was still alive today. Truth is Bob was never embraced fully by his people until his death. Jamaica is a strange place and I live in it. Great video 🙏🏽
I had only a vague idea of Marley's history and the meaning of his work, and when I was younger (around 1990) to me his music was mostly "something chill to put on the jukebox in the pub". If you're from a middle class white British background like me, there's little hope of grasping this stuff unless you set out to research it - or in this case, have someone inform you. Next time I listen to this album it will be through fresh ears. This was utterly fascinating, and I'm really glad to have learned a few things. Thank you!
Wow this was so awesome thank you for this. I absolutely love this album, a deep fire burns in me every time I listen , and at the same time I take with me knowledge to apply to this world.
This was awesome, could you do some other Bob Marley albums one interesting one to me at least was always Survival but any of them would be cool, thanks
30+ years of listening to Marley at parties, I just learned the titles of the songs, especially that "every little thing is gonna be all right" is titled Three Little Birds.
Bob Marley’s lyrics are so simple yet in that simplicity there is such beauty
They sound simple to the feeble mind
@@BabyRibs nah they’re objectively pretty simple but that doesn’t mean they aren’t stacked with meaning
Non sono semplici. Qualunque testo è semplice se solo "sentito". Lo devi ascoltare e capire. Non voglio correggerti, però semplice non è il termine per Bob Marley.
I feel like if u aren't rasta or some kinda spiritual mystic or monk...roots reggae lyrics will go over ur head 7 times out of 10...
They're not all simple man, maybe some songs yes
Saw Marley live in about ‘78 I think. His performance was transcendent. I had heard about the way he performed for years, but to see it live was mesmerizing. Peter Tosh came from backstage and sang his part in Get Up Stand Up. They brought the house down with Exodus. This show I count as one of the most iconic concerts I ever attended. .
I’m truly sad I could never see him play live. It’s amazing you got to witness Bob in the flesh!
And you used 'iconic' in the right way!
I envy you,i was 10 then
My 1st concert BMW Glasgow Apollo UK 1980 still the best spiritual music experience on that level i can still feeeel it WOW
If you saw that one, then I wonder what other concerts (by great artists) you have attended?!
I wish more people actually listened and researched Marley’s lyrics... They’d find so much depth and activist messages that floated past the western white colonial imperialism mindset much the same way capoeira was looked at as dancing. He was an amazing composer and lyricist.
It's not just Marley, reggae music is filled with artists that wrote amazing material, deeply spiritual, and political.
Indeed, an exceptional artist in all the senses
@@rufdymond absolutely
why do you gotta put race in this like that lmao
@@JA-yx9mq Genuine question. Did you watch the video?
I never gave Marley a chance because of how hes been commercialized in stoner culture, I kindof feel ashamed for never looking deeper. These videos always seem to give me a new perspective which I really quite love, no doubt other people feel the same way so thank you.

The album name & cover of "Soul Rebels" I absolutely love, very clear message :P
I was not a stoner most of my life but, although i do understand what you mean, stoner's music does have a lot of great musicians.
His music is mostly based on recognizing, thanking and deriving strength from Almighty God
I'm convinced that Mr. Polyphonic chose this album 50% for its importance and significance and 50% so he can continue making a walking cycle animation for the videos.
My prediction for the next video is I Walk the Line (as Walk on the Wild Side was done already).
Walking on the moon, maybe?
His nams is Noah
Excellent video, as always, despite the mispronunciation of Rastafari (rhymes with eye).

He is accurate the name is with the E sound Radtafar eye was coined by lenord Howell the first Rasta

I’d love to see a video on “Rhythm of the Saints”, too.
Such a wonderful album where you can hear how Paul Simon gives even more space to the musicians he’s collaborating with following the success of “Graceland”.
I find the visuals incredible and they add so much to the excellent script
Anybody know what program they use to make these visuals??
Natural Mystic is one of the few songs I never get sick of. Don't ask me why.
why?
Same here!
My dad had two bob marley musical items back in our apartment, the natural mystic album from 1994, and his live at the rainbow DVD.
And I was so obsessed with natural mystic. I would always tell my dad to repeat the song over and over again.
I’m even more obsessed with bobs music nowadays, but it’s nice to go back to classics.
See what you did there😂🤣
Was ready for this. Bob Marley is well missed. 🙏🏾
Exodus is my favorite Bob Marley album one of the greatest pieces of music I've ever heard
so inspirational to understand deeper someone else writing inspirational music, one of the best ever
Hi from Jamaica, I showed my dad this video who was a friend of Bob Marley and he said he loved what you did with this video! Through research was clearly done. Love this video

This is quite possibly the most underrated channel on youtube. It really is the goldmine of musical history.

The Netflix doc Who Shot The Sheriff touches on this. Can’t recommend enough for fans of Marley an Reggae

This video was great after watching it I went right to my albums in Spotify and cranked this up.
Looking at my Bob Marley/Wailers full discography on Spotify is such a breath of fresh air. He was so cohesive in his work.
@@_PuppetMaster86 Hey you should check out his "Wailing Wailers" album that was released in 1965 and It is a good album.
As a a Jamaican I must say your pronunciation and research was on point! I mean really well done. Some of these topics and themes weren't discussed even when I was in Jamaica
15:50 Bob Marley bouncing up and down here is amazing.
I never knew Rastafari was a religion until now. I love how much love and research you put into these videos!
Jah
holy shit, you have lived under a fucking rock lol
Many would describe it not as a religion, but as a way of life...
Rastafari is a way of life my brother
The "research" would be more impressive if the narrator didn't repeatedly mispronounce Rastafari (using an E sound at the end instead of an I), and call practitioners "RastafarEEs" instead of Rastafarians. It shows a total lack of knowledge.
I feel nostalgic everytime you upload a video, idk why, buy it's always feels amazing.
Keep up

As a man from the USVI, I grew up listening to Bob Marley and it means so much to me that you researched the legend and his art thoroughly. Thank you.
One of the best videos on this channel 100%
I'm from Brazil and he is my biggest idol. One of the best of our mankind.
Marley was a unifier & an amazing musician. Love & respect.
One of the first albums I bought (along The Score). Didn't know it was that deep! Great stuff!
Your videos give us chills!
Bob Marley is one of my heroes. His songs shaped my worldview and to this day motivate me to keep trying my best to change the world for the better. Whatever it takes we will change it. Get up, stand up, for your rights, don't give up the fight.
Such a landmark album! So influential and powerful :). This man was a saviour and a voice, forever.

Bob is still my all time favorite musician. I was excited to see that you’d done a video on one of his best albums. You did a great job as always.
he was so influential RIP to a legend
For years I thought he was singing: "Exodus: movin' tons of people."
The message remains the same.
😂😂😂😂
wow...
This made me spit out my water :D
😂
There was a period in the 80s where I was in a very dark place. My life was immersed in drug addiction, alcoholism, and other things I won't mention in public. My copy of Exodus was the ONLY connection I had to the Light.
Eventually, I turned my back on that, and walked a different path. Bob Marley's music was an integral component in leading me there.
Man that’s some crazy shit-
Amazing , insightful look into both the political and religious aspects of Marley's life (kinda like the album)..
Great mini essay. And love how your aesthetics are growing.
Well done my friend simply amazing
Love your work man!!! Nothing but love 🇯🇲
Fantastic video!!! Marley was such an important cultural figure
This channel makes me appreciate music so much more than just nice sounds. I never really thought that deep into songs like One Love or Three Little Birds, but now I’ll listen to them with a new look. Great content as always
Such an underated channel.....we value everything you do✊✊✊
If more people would listen to Bob Marley, the world would be better place!
Lovely documentary.... Thanks for sharing! 🙏💚
you some important videos, but i feel like this is your most important so far! fantastic work
Great Video. There is an interesting history on how Rastafarianism was birth. Ras Teferi Mekonnen was the last Emperror of Ethiopia and the religion was named after him.
“The people who are trying to make this world worse aren’t taking a day off, why should I?”
That’s a great fuckin quote, it’s like something out of superhero film.
But better since he played for 90 minutes with a bullet in his arm.
Great Video..I listen and study Marley almost daily. Well made and simply put educational video..life long learning
BOB MARLEY one of the greatest who lived among us
AMONG US
@@BabyRibs i knew this was gonna be the reply
Sus
Lived where?
wow I never knew that there was so much more behind the commercialised image of Marley (altough I should have guessed). I always enjoyed his well known songs like 'three little birds' and 'one love' but now I have a whole new level of respect for the man behind them.
Your videos always teach me about the icons and pioneers behind the genres I listen to now and allows me to appreciate the music I listen to in a whole new way at a whole different level.
so yeah thanks for that!
Remember Marley started recording in 1962 I have his first single Judge Not he has a huge catalogue work to be explored and enjoyed.
Again, only halfway through, and I am blown away by the quality of your presentation.
Really awesome visuals on this video
The Greatest that ever did it RIP
Jah love and Jah bless ❤❤
Very well put together sir. Respect.

Brilliant analysis. I had forgotten the musical revelation that was Bob Marley. One Love!
One of your best videos so far! I love it
Great Video bro, definitely Rasta approved,. well done sir!,. well done!
Wow... this was an incredible video. Amazing work!
Man this is a dope video I've always loved your stuff but this this hit different
Maybe it was the richness of the subject matter, but Polyphonic, this was one of your best-written, most nuanced videos in a while. Thank you!
Each video just gets better, great job!
The ammount of effort is put in these videos is brutal
Eternally grateful for the music of Bob Marley and the possibilities of the human spirit. Good health and good music to all.
I've been waiting for this video
Thank you for making Bob Marley more accessible. I didn't think I could ever get into him, but now I know there is plenty I'm missing
this is such a great analysis, as are all your videos. i consider myself a pretty big marley fan and i still learned a bunch from this
This was a beautiful and inspiring, man.
This is the best thing above seen about Bob Marley!
Very awesome friend. Ive been listening to Bob and the Wailers this week, first time in a couple years. Cheers.
thank u for the wisdom JAH BLESS
Crazy, literally started listening to a bunch of bob this week and then this upload
Jamaica is still being plagued with violence and a corrupt government. I wonder what Bob would say about Jamaica if he was still alive today. Truth is Bob was never embraced fully by his people until his death. Jamaica is a strange place and I live in it. Great video 🙏🏽

Hell go ranting about them carribean people that the bible is not secular

An incredible documentary. Thank you for making this and sharing it.

Had this stuck in my head the last few days and saw this!
Wow this was so awesome thank you for this. I absolutely love this album, a deep fire burns in me every time I listen , and at the same time I take with me knowledge to apply to this world.
This was awesome, could you do some other Bob Marley albums one interesting one to me at least was always Survival but any of them would be cool, thanks
Poly, i love you man.
Keep on outdoing yourself and through this taking yourself and us, your audience, to new heights 💙
Natural mystics my fav song of his
Nice music with lovely melodies and good for relaxing, also good for easy listening.
Great, as always
30+ years of listening to Marley at parties, I just learned the titles of the songs, especially that "every little thing is gonna be all right" is titled Three Little Birds.
this is incredible, you should do more of his albums
