After going their separate ways, and each converting to the Rastafari movement, they reunited in Kingston and formed a vocal group. Funding for their first album came in the form of a grant from the Twelve Tribes of Israel branch of Rastafari after Hugh Booth, a member of the Twelve Tribes, had overheard the three men singing in a wooded area outside Kingston. Apple and Wiss were living in the area, which they had converted into a home.
Israel Vibration recorded three albums; "The Same Song", "Unconquered People", and "Why You So Craven" before temporarily disbanding in 1981 after recording sessions for the latter were left incomplete. The three men moved to the United States to seek professional health care and escape the growing Dancehall movement in Jamaica. In 1988, Gary "Dr. Dread" Himmelfarb, founder of RAS Records, urged the trio to reunite and record an album. Skelly, Apple, and Wiss were flown to Washington, D.C. to record a new album at Lion and Fox Recording Studios. "Strength of my Life", the group's fourth album and first of 18 CD releases on the RAS label, was met with great praise and is considered one of the few post-golden era touchstones of the roots reggae genre.
In 1997, Apple Gabriel left the group to pursue a solo career. Skelly and Wiss continue to record albums and tour the world as Israel Vibration, backed by longtime associates Roots Radics.
I'll Go Through
Israel Vibration Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody's eyes anymore
Frown on your beggar's face
Walking this lunar scape
Nothing in my lackaday
We'll all be right, we'll all be right
We'll all be right in the now
We all go through, we all go through
Somebody's space to rent
Somebody's soul to dent
Dog is in every word
Hiding the flames of power
Hiding us home by home
Nearly got out yesterday
We'll all be right, we'll all be right
We'll all be right in the now
We all go through, we all go through
We all go through it sometimes
Trouble it travels on the wing
Doorway to door
Open your eyes, nothing remains
A secret love between us
Nothing can hide for long
We are the morning song
Holding my breath anyway
We'll all be right, we'll all be right
We'll all be right in the now
We all go through, we all go through
We all go through it sometimes
We'll all be right, we'll all be right
We'll all be right in the now
We all go through, we all go through
We all go through it sometimes
Through it sometimes
Through it sometimes
Crazies with dumb replies
Nobody's eyes anymore
The song "I'll Go Through" by Israel Vibration addresses the struggles of life that everyone goes through, regardless of their social status. The lyrics describe a world where people are becoming numb to the suffering of others and the problems that exist in society. The first verse references "crazies with dumb replies" and "nobody's eyes anymore," suggesting that people are not paying attention to what is happening around them and are instead focused on their own problems. The mention of a "beggar's face" suggests that poverty is a major issue, but is often ignored or looked down upon by others.
The second verse continues to highlight the struggles of life, with references to someone renting space and another's soul being damaged. The lyrics suggest that people are being taken advantage of and that there is a lack of empathy in the world. The mention of a dog hiding the "flames of power" suggests that those in power are hiding behind something, possibly to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
The final verse talks about how trouble travels and how everything eventually fades away. However, there is a "secret love" between people that can never be hidden for too long. The line "We are the morning song" suggests that there is hope for a new day and that people can overcome the struggles they face.
Overall, "I'll Go Through" is a song about perseverance and resilience in the face of hardship. It encourages listeners to keep going, even when things are tough, and to remember that they are not alone.
