Year 2: 1974

 


No Woman, No Cry-Bob Marley

I should be so done with this song-my tendency is to tire of songs that I hear over and over and over, no matter how masterful they may be (yes, I'm looking at you, Stairway to Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody).  If I were to somehow account for the songs I've heard the most times in my life, No Woman, No Cry would be a definite contender for the Top 10 - I could have never heard it since leaving college and it'd still be in contention. 

Yet, I never tire of hearing this song, from imagining myself in the audience when it was recorded live to the buoyancy and hope that I draw from listening to it. It lifts the spirit and feels like the warmth of the sun coming through the window on a chilly winter day. How could I ever get sick of this song?
