Song of the Day: 10/10/09

Jimmy Cliff - The Harder They Come



A return to form. Cliff in exceptional form from the movie of the same name, in a pretty iconic scene where he is auditioning his song in order to escape a life of crime, only to be offered an insulting pittance for it. Fantastic lyrics about repression also. "I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave" in particular resonates.
