Redemption Song is the last track on Bob Marley's ninth Island music album, Uprising. At the time he wrote the song, circa 1979, Marley already had been diagnosed with the cancer that later was to take his life. According to Rita Marley, he was already secretly in a lot of pain and dealt with his own mortality, a feature that is clearly apparent in the album, particularly in this song. Unlike most of Bob Marley's tracks, it is strictly a solo acoustic recording, consisting of Marley's singing and playing an acoustic guitar, without accompaniment. The song read more. Lyrics Bob Marley - Redemption Song. 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 end 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. While Redemption Song, in which Marley accompanies himself alone on an acoustic guitar, is often regarded as an exception in the singers canon, it is not an aberration. Bob, like most musicians of his generation, was influenced by the folk boom of the early 60s. He was aware of Bob Dylan, and his group, The Wailers, adapted Like A Rolling Stone for their own Rolling Stone. Redemption Song is a song by Bob Marley. It is the final track on Bob Marley & the Wailers' ninth and final album made when he was alive, Uprising, produced by Chris Blackwell and released by Island Records. Unlike most of Marleys works, Redemption Song is a strictly solo acoustic track with no sign of the reggae style present in nearly everything else he has made. Instead, it is a deeply contemplative and personal song that evoked the sound and style of another Bob: Bob Dylan. Lifting material from a speech by pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey, calling for a second emanicipation from mental slavery, Redemption Song is a simple call for awakening that is at once hopeful protest and heartbreaking resignation. The final line of the chorus, All I ever had, redemption songs, reads like an epitaph for Marley's struggle. While the anthem of that struggle was No Woman, No Cry, Redemption Song is the antidote. Written at the time of Marley's diagnosis with cancer, it evidences the increasingly religious nature of his songwriting on the 1980 album Uprising. Marley completed the Uprising album his last in the summer of 1980. He was suffering from the cancer that would eventually kill him at age 36, but was very productive in his later years. He refused traditional medicine because of his Rastafarian beliefs and chose to make music and perform as long as he could. This song drew from the works of the civil-rights campaigner Marcus Garvey, who in a 1937 speech said: We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery because whilst others might free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind.
