The important thing to understand is that covering a song is NOT always about capturing the feel or emotion of the original. It's about expressing one's OWN emotion through that song. In that regard, this is a fresh take on a beautiful piece of music. And in it's own right, it's very very good. I'll take this over Rihanna singing an emotionless karaoke version of the song in a heartbeat.
Its true, there might be something about the phrasing or the tone.. but the piece overall is very listenable and spoken 142 adds something for sure. The first time i heard a cover of this song I was stunned, didn't know it was Marley ... it was so charged with meaning. Later it just added to my appreciation of the original.
I think you're wrong, Its a song about redemption, freedom, and peace. I think it represents the struggle to find peace and happiness amidst the depressing, overcoming adversity, and the elusive concept of changing the world through song.
It's his own interpretation of the song so it doesn't matter if it's not meant to be happy. It still sounds good. It's boring when a cover is not unique like this one.
@Novelist6369 youre totally wrong. none of bob marleys songs should be depressing. If you think that you didnt get a very important point. To the video: very good piece of work :)
love the vocal change it's a nice new feel. almost a matt costa feel good job! i posted a jack johnson cover cupid you should check it out and let me know what you think, it's my first youtube video.
DUDE THIS IS BEYOND ACE....you can tell someone is a musician when they can make the song their own without taking away the roots of the music....way to rock it out cuz..best of luck to you.....
I enjoyed that. you put your own little spin on redemption song. Your singing was great too. Im glad you didn't try and sing it exactly like marley, I don't think anyone really can.
This is one of my all time favorite songs, and you did an AMAZING job! A great version of a great song :)
