I love Jimmy's music. I never heard him do a version of No Woman No Cry before.
When I go "inward" I like to listen to his music, because his lyrics speak volumes and tell of many challenges he has faced to become a world citizen.
Some of my absolute favs are:
- We all are one
- Sitting in Limbo
- Roots Woman
- Special
- Reggae Night
Treat the youths right, was a tune that my neighbour blasted out every day when I was a child, so I struggle to listen to it these days.
But in general, if I'm at a crossroads in my life, his tunes help keep me sane:)
Thank you for sharing your story @millycf1976
I will check out each of those songs today, even "Treat the youths right." It seems that your neighbor was a little rebel. I have heard of worse neighbors.
There is a big smile on my face when I listen to early Jimmy Cliff and later on in life he is still smiling, but the message has always been real. Something I didn't know about him that I learned was that he had a concert together with the Clash. He was not stuck in only Reggae, but tried other styles. Still, I enjoy the earlier songs the most. You seem to be more familiar with his songs than I am.
That's true.
Listen to this with your eyes closed.
I was sat on a mini bus going to school as a little girl. I was listening and pondering the lyrics of the song. At the end of it, the radio announcer said it was Jimmy Cliff and I could not believe it... I've always loved this song, and when I was living in the Philippines where I faced much racism, I reflected on this song many times.
Absolutely beautiful story^^

I think my middle school boy will love this song.
A lot of similarities.
