ONE OF MY YUTE DAYS SONGS CHU IT BRING SUCH A JOY TO I SOUL TO HEAR IT, I ONLY HAVE IT ON VYNYL, CHU IT SWEET MAN, AND THAT PIC OF THE YUTES SHOWS PURE RIGHTEOUS LOVE THE WAY JAH PLANNED IT PPL...TRUST ME!
totally blissing out to this tune in traffic on the way to work today.....what a tune.....the cars in front seemed to part when he sung open up the gates to zion......was chanting it all day......
This tune is why Scratch is known as the musical genius. Some call him ''mad'' but I know he is just ''musically passionate'', amazing amazing tune!!!
In answer to your question. The lyrics are a slightly paraphrased verse of Isaiah 43:6 (King James Version). Many roots reggae classics are liberally sprinkled with biblical quotes and this is no exception. This album is the simply the greatest reggae album and one of the best of any genre ever.
Is that beautiful line at 2.54 "Send my sons from afar, and my daughters from the end of the world... " ???
Is that beautiful line at 2.54 "Send my sons from afar, and my daughters from the end of the world... " ??? Genius lyrics and such a beautiful riddim :)
their music also came out in a jet-li movie. forgot waht it was called but i know the movie starts with a dread taxi driver and jet-li in the back. when that movie came out thats when i started to find more about them.
This song is so beautiful it is almost painful in a weird way. I don't know of any words that can describe how this song makes me feel. The day someone makes a better album than this i will eat my hat.
You are so spot on, this song (as is everything on Heart of the Congos) is very real, the lyrics speak of some serious issues & when married to the most majestic harmony the effect is very powerful. I discovered the Congos around 10 years ago, it pulled me out from a very negative time in my life. I listen to their music almost every day, it moves & inspires me in exactly the same ways every time i hear it, i never tire of these sounds, so very special.
I would urge you to buy "Heart of the Congos", there is no other album that comes near it. Also, if you love this then try Burnings Spear's older stuff, tis fantastic. The Royals are also pretty special.
Hahaha, i like it. Funny you should say that, listening to Congos & Burning Spear helped heal my anxiety attacks & got me through a nervous breakdown. Without Black Reggae music i don't know where i would have ended up. I love the Dread, sweet spititual sounds, healing & uplifting, there is no music like it. Jah is my Driver x
Roots reggae is the only true reggae. Thanks for this

Attention to the echoes...gives it a mysterious ghostlike effect...
and the congos relaxed singing, with one of them with verges of losing control...
