Calling for the need to end society’s insatiable greed and embrace tolerance of one another international reggae band Link&Chain rocked the airwaves with “Leave Us Alone”
With a culturally relevant sound that has been inspired by their Jamaican roots, Link&Chain’s music is both melodic and conveys sensitivity. Initially created in 1986, this band’s longevity has been like a revelation, inspiring, uplifting, and educating the masses with their authentic brand of reggae music for decades. The lyrics are raw and honest, reflective of our society as it is, with all its goods and evils. They do not shy away from confronting political vices, nor do they tire of singing about unity, love, and inclusiveness. A band revered for its discipline, hard work and honesty, Link&Chain’s integrity remains the software of their artistic character.
“Leave Us Alone” is a sonic masterpiece inspired by the quenchless greed that has permeated our society, dividing us into classes as the political elites exploit the desperation, poverty, neediness, helplessness, and hopelessness of the masses.
The heartfelt lyrics speak of the need for us to be emancipated from such things because we all deserve to be in this world and coexist happily without anyone exploiting others’s deficiencies for their own selfless needs. At the end of the day, everything in this world is vanity and will be left behind. Some of these powerful lyrics here actually reminded me of a very powerful quote that says, “The greatness of a man is not how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.”
Through an imposing blend of thoughtfully played keys backed by captivating guitar and bass melodies that give this tune its signature reggae vibe, Link&Chain leave a lasting impact that is felt outside the track thanks to the catchy, easily quotable lyrics and a hauntingly beautiful chorus at the track’s core.
The vocals are immaculate—the lead vocal’s an impressive reflection of emotiveness, and the backing harmonies embody unbridled passion. This overall performance also reflects how Link&Chain’s individual uniqueness contributes to the overall star-quality of the band as a whole.
Make sure you add this tune to your music library, recommend it to friends and strangers, and follow Link&Chain everywhere to be part of their expanding global community that appreciates the power of good old positive reggae music with modern flair.
