Redemption Song
It’s sort of odd that those who love, folk, peace, reggae, hippy etc type music think say they hear the message in the music. Odder still that some of the people who write this type of music are worse than the fans. Delivering messages of peace love and happiness in the words the sing loud or under their breath. Songs they often know by heart to sing along anytime they are played.
Yet if you haven’t already heard of the band or the song the fans will tell you - well you won’t understand. Or if you don’t practice some lifestyle choice you can’t understand. If you have a job making over 50k you can’t hear the music
Really, or if you don’t think that 3 hour folkie renditions of a 5 minute song are worth tromping out into the forest to listen to well you are just too corporate to understand the message.
Can’t peace, love and happiness be understood by everyone? You just have to put aside your own prejudices and you all have them. You just have to listen to your words of hate when you are frustrated to see that if you or any of us really understood those songs you, we could perhaps see all the foot paths to peace and not just the one you or me or we happen to be standing.
Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
Ciao,
