This has been a hard year of fighting cancer for me. In the middle of a breakdown someone told me to listen to Bob Marley Three Little Birds. Let me tell you it saved my sanity many times. When I was feeling overwhelmed I'd put that song on repeat until it's words and message soothed my soul. I'm so grateful I had it to get me through. Music is truly important and healing.
Redemption song; One love; Stir it up; No Women No Cry; Get Up Stand Up; Trench Town Rock; Exodus; Three Little Birds; you can start with any of those! Hoooza.
All the above mentioned songs plus my favorite: “Could You Be Loved”. … such a great beat!! I am so enjoying reliving the music of my youth through your gloriously energetic self!! Cheers!!
"Stir It Up", "Buffalo Soldier", "Get Up, Stand Up", and "No Woman No Cry" from him and the Wailers always make my music lists. We sing his songs often in the household. When my preteen is having a hard time we sing "Three Little Birds". You made my day!! I hope you have a great week. -Amber
@@MrXNITROx I agree!! I was so excited to see his video that I went with the ones off the top of my head. Knowing this channel, it’s gonna be a long, great journey. I hope you’re having a great week. -Amber

Had to listen and watch again... You know what we love about you Mark, is not only that you GET IT, and understand the music, but also your pure, unfiltered JOY! Us older folks get to relive our 1st listen to this music vicariously thru you PEACE!
Год назад
indeed! Mark is not like other reactors who don't know how to express their feelings. I like when he stops the music because he has something to say. Culture and music is done for that: feel, think, talk. And for old lads like us, to remember...
More people will see u exploring the vast amount of variety and talent in world of music. I for one didn't appreciate the amount of great music I grew up enjoying. Wow! I look back to the 70's being in highschool and going to concerts with friends not realizing how lucky I was just being able to experience soo many great moments. The later 70's and 80's I now see as a fun,freeing, dancing... almost magical period of time for epic music that will be timeless!! Kinda like your channel is creating!!😁💃💃
@@brainsqueezereactions I was counting on u bringing all the fun amazing moments back when listening to these artists all over again with your funny, spontaneous, contagious humor and insight. So happy I came across your channel. Brightens my day, every time!! You're definitely my FAV!! 🤗💥
Just beautiful. So glad you picked up on the glorious nuances of Bob's voice. The Jamaican accent is beautiful. My grandma and mom were born there and I miss her voice and stories so much. Can't even listen to Bob without tearing up. He strikes that universal chord of humanity, which is love. Spawned a whole genre and made it a worldwide phenomenon. His story is pretty wild. Numerous baby mama's and children, his actual wife said something to the effect of "Bob can handle more women than the regular man." Lmao. He was Political and opposing factions tried to assassinate him. Ended up dying of cancer as a result of a foot injury from playing soccer barefoot in the streets. Gone way too soon, but hell yes dude, didn't plan on crying today 😭 lol well done. Love this channel.
You're a textbook case of how music can bring such primal joy and happiness! Yes, this is love!!! 🙂 A few great Bob songs that I think you'd really groove to are: "Waiting in Vain", "Could You Be Love", "No Woman No Cry" and "Satisfy My Soul:. Thanks for always spreading happiness! Happy New Year!
Reggae Hector in the house!!!!! 💯🎶 I was so excited to watch, grabbed me a "J", hit play and spilt my coffee all over my desk, phone and J 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I don't know now if I can love this channel more cuz you just topped the charts for me. MY FAVORITE ARTIST EVER!!!!!!! I LOVE this man...everything about him, everything he stood for....oh my goodness, what a treat this is!!!!!

Bob Marley is soo good, Get Up Stand Up, Buffalo Soldier, No Woman No Cry, Redemption Song, Trench Town and the list goes on 💓❤️🔥💥☮️. Love sent from 🇨🇦☮️
What Joy watching you hear this for the first time! I'm 59 and I was fortunate enough to grow up with some of the best music ever produced. I grew up listening to Bob Marley and can't remember the first time I ever heard him but I know I was very young. I do remember the first time I heard No Woman, No Cry. I was visiting family in England and it was blowing up the radio! A fond memory. Enjoy your journey and keep rocking 🤘🏼
My 18 month old daughter was born as this track was playing, narrowly missed Islands In the Stream, lucky wee girl. Glad to see your casting a wide net brother x
Nooobody expects Marley on Squeeze!!! Oh! And congrats on almost 30K subs! You are crushing it with the "classic rock" reactions! Next stop...THE MOON!
Bloody Hell now you're really gettin it going! There are so so many great Bob Marley tracks, iconic tracks to choose from! But may I introduce you to another Reggae icon by the name of Peter Tosh! Try his version of Johnny B Goode I guarantee you will be ROCKED!
Thank you for reminding me of my great fortune to have been a kid in the seventies. Your enthusiasm is infectious and reminds me it’s fine that I’m close to 60 which otherwise blows my f’ing mind.
Bob is one of my all time musical fans for many reasons, one is for the very way you reacted to this song! His lyrical content, his passion, love and commitment to his craft is a gift to all. Even if you don't do it on your channel watch him perform these songs in live concert form and you will REALLY feel his vibrations!
The whole CD is fire!! When i was turned on to him in the 90's I was addicted. I couldn't get enough... and it sounds as great now as it did the first time I heard it. Please do more Bob
Bob Marley truly exposed reggae to a worldwide audience. Some bands took on reggae and mixed it with rock to create a new sound. For an example of this, Message In A Bottle by The Police.
Dude! I can't tell how many times I've listened to this as a kid. Since then, Reggae has been my favorite genre of music. And I loved how you've played it: intro, rewind, play once and then play it again just for the pleasure. I agree with Emmett who suggests "Stir It Up", "Buffalo Soldier", "Get Up, Stand Up", and "No Woman No Cry" from the same Bob Marley. But there are so many great artists in that genre: Peter Tosh, Aswad, Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff or Black Uhuru, and so many more. And for me, the best song of all time is from Gregory Isaacs: Confirm Reservation (the BBC Radio 1981 version). Gregery Isaacs has also sung the hits Night Nurse, The Border or Stranger in Town. Greetings & Happy New Year!
You don't have to be a reggae fan to enjoy listening to Bob Marley, i grew up in a family of seven kids and we all had different tastes in music, from Soul & Motown, Glamrock, C&W, Rock 'n' Roll and Pop, i eventually found my peace in Pink Floyd, but i will listen to mostly anything, and Robert Nesta Marley has always been high on my list of unique individuals..Great reaction man, spot on👌✌
You've opened a whole can of worms here. My dad,bless him, introduced us to Bob and reggae at an early age and my love of dub shows no sign of abating . You must do stir it up on the old grey whistle test. They had to prove they could play this live as the man couldn't believe that a group of Jamaican musicians could sound this good. Concrete Jungle,,Redemption Song to name but a few. Explore and as you say better to be a magpie of music. ✌️😔
I LOOOOVE Bob Marley and this entire album is in my top 5 of all time. Now I've got to go bust out my CD and put it on surround sound blast while I spring clean and dance like no one is watching LOL. You truly are the BEST reactor there is!
First got into Bob Marley around 23 years ago (damn that's scary to say). I played it for my mates and they loved it too. The music uplifts your soul. Also, Damian Marley, one of his sons, is an absolute gem too.
Well hello there Jah...!!! And other such stuff... How about these for a few... NOW, be aware, I am giving you these even before I have lookined on the channel before I have gone checking for more of the Bob... You know by now that us old gits had this sort of music every single week.... live.... on the BBC2 show.. The Old Grey Whistle Test. With the legend that was Whispering Bob Harris. Maybe give these a go... "Redemption Song," "One love," "Stir it up," "No Women No Cry," and of course "Get Up Stand Up". Keep on Rocking...!!
I loved Bob Marley! I had a big tripped out Bob Marley flag in my bedroom growing up! 😂😂😂 I’ve downloaded so many great songs from my youth bc of your channel! Thanks for all the memories Hector!
There's so many amazing songs by him !!! I absolutely LOVE your vibe and energy !!! Im dancin along with you ! So down for MORE Bob Marley !!! HES SUCH A VIBE !!!
Wait…. Only 2 reactions for Bob Marley??? Babe, this is important! We, we, we, we, must continue, for all of our sakes. We have to go through the entire ‘Legend’ discography. It’s important. I promise it will make your life better! ✋🏽 And ours! 😂😂
@@brainsqueezereactions I bet you have skills from that chair! ❣️✌️🤣 Edit: Bob has so, so many great songs, but do "Jammin". That one is so fun! You'd love it!
Love the reactions always bro! Bob Marley's music is timeless just like the Legend himself Mr Makaveli! Most of the request will be the well-known songs of Bob's but like Makaveli (2pac) there are hidden gems throughout his catalogue of classic music. One of my favourites is 'War' the Lyrics and Message I think will BLOW your mind. PLEASE REACT!!!
Bob is crucial. Peter Tosh, Buju Banton, Barrington Levy, and many more classic Ragae / Dance Hall. More modern artists like Slightly Stoopid, Soja, Rebelution, Iration.Etc. Welcome to the chill side.
My wife and I got to know each other in an authors chat room around 2000. She told me to listen to this song for why she wanted to date ) I had heard a little of Marley in early 80's when I worked at the college book store from some folks I worked with. This song brought back the feeling of how good his voice and music style were. Always worth hearing )
Oh yeah man. Bob Marley’s music can be as hypnotic as it is beautiful. His piercing voice can speak directly to you. Drum and bass you say? Together they drive the Reggae sound. Be well, Mark Hector.
The magic of reggae and bob in particular imo is that social commentary and political rebellion is central to understanding them-but the groove is pure soul food. It’s so heartwarming almost literally. Try Three Little Birds for an uplifting banger OAT. And when it’s an actual love song like this? Oh my god.
Hector, I just love your reactions and the wide variety of musicians you are choosing. This song brings back going to a reggae bar in Chicago back in the early 80's where just walking in could get you stoned from the smoke in the air. AAHH, the good old days...
My fav from Bob Marley is -concrete jungle -them belly full -satisfying my soul -burnin and lootin - heathen -slave driver - sun is shining - natural mystic You should definitely look into his background since he was a activist and done many things for Jamaica and almost lost his life over it. His music carries heavy messages such as equality, youth violence, black empowerment, poverty and Rastafarianism. You should react to his youngest son Damien Marley as well he is a rapper and raps about similar topics his dad sang about. Such as - patience -medication -nah mean - welcome to Jamrock
As a kid I always thought the lyric was "We'll be together, with a roof rack over our heads". My natural reaction was to imagine they must be in a Volvo 😂
For a Brit you might enjoy exploring the nexus between reggae and English punk of the 70s. It was largely London punks who got them signed to island and broke bob to the world, far as I can tell. Try to find “Punky Reggae Party.” The us was not hot on him until after he visited Britain and took it by storm. Once again our inability to embrace Black musics was our loss and your gain at least for a while. Cheers, this stuff is critical to a full music palette.
Hector, long before rap cane on the scene, there was something called “talking blues”. I think you would be very interested in this. Bob Dylan had a song called Subterranean Homesick Blues, and it’s in talking blues form. He spit some BARS, man! Great flow.
Man... I just love Bob Dylan... I wanted to suggest some songs from him but I was hesitant to point down this road! If Mark goes here on this journey I think I would be brought to tears.... It's just awesome to watch someone discover this... I have never seen this before and now I'm hooked on these reactions and Brain Squeeze Reactions is my #1.
@@helenespaulding7562 Electric indeed! Thing is... I can relate to him somewhat ... I don't do drugs and I love to really get into the music like him. I can remember how Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd just rocked my world. 🤩
@@havacigar5465 indeed. PF especially for me in early 70’s. Zeppelin…average fan…had 3 of their albums. Three years ago rediscovered them and we talk NUTS. DEEP dive down the rabbit hole. Total fan girl Books, interviews, concert footage. Now my favorite band…in my 70’s 🙄😏🤘
@@havacigar5465 if you are not a sub on SyedRewinds…check out his breakdown on this same Dylan song from just a day or so ago. And then tell me what you think. His reaction is why I suggested it to Hector. They are both hip-hop heads
Yasssss!!!! I love this awesome surprise! Dude you’ve hit another one of my top 5 artists of all time! Guns n Roses, Bob Marley, Tupac, Sublime and Kid Cudi :) So worth the wait!
Great song from Bob Marley, great singer he ever was/is. Feels like you can listen to this at the beach 🏖️. thanks for sharing your reaction and it’s a like and thumbs up.😄👍!#bobmarley
Fussing and Fighting. Chances Are. Memphis. Ah man. These three right here are so damn beautiful. I'm getting distracted by my friend and there's definitely much more I can't get off my tongue but these three are among his best and just had to put them out there for you in the hopes you may find them. Peaceful and loving they are. Just down right trim the fat straight to the bone poignant Oh my. Bless your heart man. You help me not to forget. I've been feeling like there's nothing new in this day to day. A general feeling that everything is dead. And your magnificent energy is so full of life. I want to thank you for helping me find a modicum of this joy I seem to have incrementally been losing. Peace and love to you. A marvelous soul you are. And don't you ever forget it.
Richard this whole comment has equally made my day too! Thank you and added yours to my ever growing list and cannot wait to dig more into Bob Marley and keep your happiness going 🙌🙌🙌🙌⏪️🥳
When you mentioned the Gruffalo, my mind immediately went to Wes Tank rapping Dr Seuss stories to 90s rap music such as Eminem and Dr Dre. If you’ve not heard them already, please check them out (if not on the channel, just for yourself), I’m sure you’ll love them. I recommend Fox In Socks in particular ❤
Interesting that you chose this tune from Kaya (1978)...There's a huge amount of Bob related tunes. Starting with the early/mid 60's Ska tracks (Simmer Down etc), then the later 60's "Wail N Soul M" Rock Steady tracks (I'm Hurting Inside etc).. And then the early 70's stuff for Lee Perry, Lesley Kong and self productions... (Soul Rebel, Trenchtown Rock, Small Axe, Soul Shakedown Party etc etc) through to the Island Years from Catch A Fire onwards... I hope you enjoy the ride, from a 64 year old Jamaican music fanatic who's enjoying watching it so far... :)
You’re right: joy. And love. And generosity. Nietzsche said “Without love, there is no art.” Too many spectacular songs to list. One I don’t see suggested: Zimbabwe -a celebration, a welcoming, when the white supremacist Rhodesia became black-ruled Zimbabwe ❤
Ahh...Bob Marley mon! I have to give a few recommendations on this one, Get Up Stand Up, Redemption Song, I Shot the Sheriff, Burnin and Lootin and Kaya. Looking forward to the next reaction to this absolute legend!
Love it...Bob Marley is so good! You are gonna want to hear "Three Little Birds" and "Redemption Song" for sure!! Dude...gotta say I just love your reactions... I think it's cuz you remind of us all of the times when we heard these great tunes in our youth! I find it awesome that you sometimes will pick things out of a song which I distinctly remember recognizing myself during my discovery of the artist. It is really nice to see. If you want to add to your list try The Who! I recommend "Eminence Front"... I know you will love the intro and the overall groove of the song! Either way...no big deal and we'll see you on the next one...Cheers from CANADA!!
Love that Jamaican accent, mahn! Reggae was really big froM late 60’s through the 80’s as I recall. Hippies loved it, and his Rastafarian religion, which used Ganga as a sacrament, and preached peace and love, certainly resonated with the counter culture. Even Zeppelin did a reggae inspired song! D’Yer Maker. 😁 What was so sad was, if I have it right, he got a melanoma on his toe, but refused medical treatment because he believed in faith healing. It didn’t work and we lost him too soon. My favorite reggae song for some reason is 96 Degrees in the Shade
Damien Marley has a song welcome to jam rock, the whole family is talented. You have to research how Bob Marley felt about the guy that shot him, it will blow your mind
Please react to buffalo soldier, I shot the sheriff and Johnny was by bob Marley. Those are some of the greatest storytelling songs you'll ever hear in music history.
Awesome choice. Best listen of the day for me. Redemption Song is another great one…not exactly reggae but pure Bob charisma nonetheless. Btw- Marley is a 2012 documentary that gives some interesting background on Bob Marley, his music, Jamaican politics etc…Netflix has another one (2018) “Who Shot the Sheriff”.
Flash backs of Ricks Caffe watching the cliff divers right from the bar with Peter Tosh and Bob Marley playing in the background,,,, if you ever get to Jamaica you need to stop at Ricks Caffe it will change your life
