The soft music and the mellow tone of this song is almost in a defeat sound but Bob would not let it go there. He shows his emotions in this song and they are so strong.

  14. Buffalo Soldier from “Legends” This song can be given credit to the black soldiers of the African American Calvary www.songfacts.com African Americans were used to fight for the land to give back to the Native Americans so that civilized white people could live there.

This song was written in 1979. There is a part in the song that is from his first single “Judge” http://www.bobmarley.com/ (The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too, so while you point your fingers someone else is judging you). It shows that you can love anybody you want but don’t judge another person for doing the same thing. Love will always be on our life's if we let it so don’t let anybody take that away from you. Don’t let people change you and make you somebody else.
