From jamaica...i always feel a deep connection to the motherland...everything about this song is perfection from
1.the words i dont understand
2. The video
3.The director
4.The guitarist both box and bass
5.The arrangement
6.The little note that he crushed
7. The thunder at the end
8. Even the way the director plays with how and when the music changes with each scene
Everything is just perfect
