HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 85: MY DEFINITION OF BEAUTIFUL WORDS - SINGING REDEMPTION SONG BY BOB MARLEY

Hi friends,
I am @chosenfingers. For this week's HIVE OPEN MIC tagged "NICE WORDS", I am dropping my cover of Bob Marley's REDEMPTION SONG.

I grew up listening to good reggae and blues vibes with my Father. I remember listening to the likes of Bob Marley, Lucky dube, Eric Donaldson, Peter Tosh and many others. Thanks to this early exposure because it formed my sound foundation in music and also strengthened my music passion and growth. I play the guitar today because I saw Bob Marley passionately play the guitar and sing. He became someone I looked up to while growing up.

LONG LIVE MY LEGEND!

Gone are those days when the music we hear have nice and beautiful words. Listening to Redemption song by Bob Marley always reminded me that I am solely responsible for freeing my mind.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind.

Join me as I sing this beautiful Evergreen song.

lYRICS:

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Ooh
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfil the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Woah, have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
All I ever had
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
