On May 11, 1981, Bob Marley, one of the most important characters of our time, died. Singer-songwriter, guitarist and Jamaican activist, he has helped to develop and spread throughout the world a lifestyle generally identified with reggae music. We remember and analyze “Could you be loved”, the famous song included in the 1980 album “Uprising”. A song to reflect
How our thoughts are formed
Where our ideas originate
When we can say we have an opinion on a topic, whether it is the path we have decided to follow or the candidate we have decided to vote for
Whatever our choice, the risk is that in order not to be alone we give up thinking for ourselves, following our inclinations, doing what can truly make us happy, without understanding that only if we are ourselves we could be loved . The fact is that we must not allow, as Bob Marley sings in “Could you be loved”, to be taught. “Everyone has their own head – the Jamaican singer-songwriter tells us – so to hell if what you think is not right!”. Love will not leave us alone
“The path of life is arduous and you too may stumble. So while you point your finger someone else is judging you “.
Life is hard already, Bob Marley tells us, and we do nothing to simplify it, judging one another and stepping on each other’s feet. “Love your brother!”, Bob tells us.
His is a message of hope, because although certain situations may seem unbearable and some roads turn out to be dead ends, we must not give up and be ourselves, because only in this way can we be loved and therefore saved: “Love does not it will never leave us alone, in the darkness the light must reveal itself “. Bob Marley outside the box
As clearly illustratesthe philosopher Igor Sibaldi in his book “The courage to be idiots” , the different is scary. So when someone realizes that we are different, that we have not taken the canonical paths, they will try to dissuade us, but “don’t let them change you or put you back in line, oh no!”, Bob Marley tells us, with simplicity and power that only great poetry is able to give to words.
But we must never give up on love, because we risk running the risk of letting it escape, we must avoid acting like someone who feels the lack of water only when the well has dried up. We must be ourselves, learning to be free from the constraints and judgments of society, because only in this way, only if we act freely, can we be loved. Could you be lovedIl testo della canzone di Bob Marley
Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved
Don’t let them fool ya
Or even try to school ya, oh, no
We’ve got a mind of our own
So go to Hell if what you’re thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone
A-in the darkness ya must come out to light
Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved, whoa now, and be loved
The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you
Love your brotherman
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved
Don’t let them change ya, oh
Or even rearrange ya, oh, no
We’ve got a life to live
They say, only, only
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive, ay
Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved, whoa now, and be loved
Never gonna miss your water until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him, man will never be satisfied
