The story behind the song

Ziggy Marley, the eldest son of reggae legend Bob Marley, carries on his family's musical legacy with a focus on positive messages and social consciousness. While "Blowin' In The Wind" is a cover, it naturally fits his artistic world, asking profound questions about how long injustice can exist, and how many paths a person must take before finding peace. It's a song that wonders about the human cost of conflict and the search for fundamental answers to enduring problems.
