At Lunch
ONE LOVE / PEOPLE GET READY - VIDEO─── 09:30 Sat, 05 Sep 2015
Marley's idea about this song was that everyone in the world should stop fighting and become one, united by one heart one love.
Some of the lyrics are about oppression and how sinners will pay for their evil deeds in the end. For many listeners, the deeper message is lost in the overwhelming chorus. Marley wrote this song in presence of great disturbance and confusion of the Jamaican elections in December 1976.
An early version of this song was released in 1965 (by The Wailers) and released as a single in Jamaica. In 1977, Bob Marley & the Wailers released the updated version on the Exodus album which became the definitive rendition and made #5 in the UK.
The music Video combines footage of a young British-Jamaican boy, Jesse Lawrence, in London and archival footage of Marley.
