The lyrical concept is a very interesting. The idea of being trapped by Babylon! What does that really mean? Who can respond to me? Also disturbing is how the artist link the lyrics to biblical fortelling of the future, can either surprise you or make you rethink your life.
Love & Respect to ALL these wonderful comments. Jimmy Cliff is a gift to this world from THE MOST HIGH, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE...as we ALL are . Jimmy Cliff through his music and charity is a GREAT example of how a "seemingly average, regular" person can go on to do EXTRAORDINARY things... However make no mistake, there is nothing average or regular about his voice and lyricism!
I first heard of Jimmy Cliff in the movie "Club Paradise." This album gave me much joy in my college years in the 80s. Especially this song. Having been raised in a traditional protestant church, it was so eye-opening to hear a legit gospel song that didn't require a church organ. 😁
😮 3:03 3:03 3:03 Mother Maxine is from Homestea a Pittsburgh borugh. It's also the hometown of Betty Mabry Davis; the ex.wife if MILES Davis. She was a rock-funk singer. Mother Max had a hauntingly beautiful set of pipes. I really enjoyed her vocal approach....TC
At 1:30 "She seperated the skull from the body, and masturbated in front of it." At first she was shocked, which track she´s in, and how sharp cuts to deal it got. And it was told, she was used to listen for the first time to Q-Bert. Fatefully, with a knife in her hand, her body reacted "aachissipak". With closed eyes, she was snatchy dancing to the cuts - Suddenly, her boyfriend tooked the last. But she had no time to cry, she had to deal with these ruff cuts - With no conclusion in her mind, which dance moves to show up. This track was a new beginning, something big, that just had started.
