On 3 December 1976, an assassination attempt was made on Bob Marley's life in which his chest was grazed and his arm was struck with a bullet, but he survived. Following the assassination attempt, Marley left Jamaica and was exiled to London, where Exodus was recorded.
The album was a success both critically and commercially; it received gold certifications in the US, UK and Canada, and was the album that propelled Marley to international stardom. In 2017, Exodus was remastered and re-released for its 40th anniversary. Exodus has more tracks on Marleyโs greatest hits compilation Legend than any of his other records. Exodus was his tenth album since the debut album The Wailing Wailers in 1965, including the live album Live! (1975).
Natural Mystic
Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blowing through the air
If you listen carefully now you will hear
This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why
Things are not the way they used to be
I won't tell no lie
One and all got to face reality now
Though I try to find the answer
To all the questions they ask
Though I know it's impossible
To go living through the past
Don't tell no lie
There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
Can't keep them down
If you listen carefully now you will hear
Such a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why
There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
I won't tell no lie
If you listen carefully now, you will hear
There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic, blowing through the air
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic, blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic, blowing through the air
The song "Natural Mystic" by Bob Marley & The Wailers is a powerful call to reality and a warning of the dangers that we face as a society. The song alludes to a natural force that is blowing through the air, which if you listen carefully, you can hear. This force is both powerful and mysterious, and Marley suggests that it might be the first trumpet, or the last trumpet. This allusion to the biblical event of the trumpets marks a warning of the end times and signifies the need for change and redemption.
The song continues by insisting that things are not as they used to be, and that we must face reality now. Marley suggests that many more people will have to suffer and die if we do not heed this warning. He also acknowledges that he does not have all the answers to the questions we face, but that we must still try to find them, even if it is impossible to live through the past.
Overall, "Natural Mystic" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that urges its listeners to face reality and to act now before it is too late. It highlights the importance of acknowledging the problems of our society and the need for change before it is too late.
