Tear Jerker / Bob Marley

• "Redemption Song" partly due to its status as the final track placed on the last album he performed in while alive (Uprising), partly due to the song itself.
  • Try listening to Joe Strummer and Johnny Cash dueting on "Redemption Song" and remaining dry-eyed.
• "Wisdom", atypically for its era, is an absolutely beautiful rocksteady ballad.
• "Stand Alone" - you can't help but feel moved by the line 'How could I be so wrong, to think that we could get along?'
• "No Woman No Cry" from Live has the opposite effect to it's title. Just listen to it! "Good friends we have and good friends we've lost/Along the way/In this great future, you can't forget your past/So dry your tears, I say/Everything's gonna be all right!" Blubbing Central, and that's before we reach the line about "My feet are my only carriage..."
