    I think a lot joy comes from catharsis. Modest Mouse has a verse “And if it takes shit to make bliss; well I feel pretty blissfully.” I suspect, and maybe Marley has said this, the joy he sings about comes from struggles he was able to overcome and find himself.

    As someone who is always personally mourning because of depression, anxiety, etc. I feel a lot of the same things Marley sings about. Listen to ‘coming in from the cold’ sometime and think about what it means to be nothing and having life thrust upon you.

      I was outdoors for several months about 25 years ago. Even summer nights are cold when it’s raining.
