Nature that is “wild and free” is personification and a metaphor. The saying gives human qualities (the ability to sleep) to New York. “The city that doesn’t sleep” is always New York – but you probably didn’t know that the saying comes from a Frank Sinatra song. #9: New York, New York (by Frank Sinatra) There is a reason he is considered a revolutionary. Composed by: Bob Marley Lyrics by: Bob Marley Produced by: Bob Marley & The Wailers Year: 1980 Length: 2:50 Musical key: A minor Recorded at: Tuff Gong.
“The moon won’t come out to play” shows just how filled with rebellion that many of Bob Marley’s songs were. The high yellow moon won’t come out to play
By giving it human qualities, and the ability to smile, Led Zeppelin paints a romantic picture that is hard to beat. Louise Bennett's Mento Verse and Bob Marley's Reggae Poetry Bob Marley's lyrics assume the form of quality reggae poetry.

I’m saying when you think it’s peace and safetyĭon’t forget your history.

Week 1 - Concrete Jungle - well examine the metaphors and. Id take Concrete Jungle over it any time of year. The moon won’t come out to play shows just how filled with rebellion that many of Bob Marley’s songs were. Rat race, rat race, rat race, yeah, rat race.
