Hey!! I decided to do my blog on I shot the Sheriff, but I did the version by Bob Marley, I did listen to both versions, however. I liked both versions I think they are both good, I really like Bob Marley’s voice though I think it is kind of soothing which is why I picked his version rather than Eric Clapton’s. Eric Clapton’s version or cover of this song, however, I feel is more upbeat and more modern to king of what we listen to now. This song along with all of Bob Marley’s song I feel like just have a good bouncy beat that make it easy to nod your head along with. As for the meaning of this song, for my interpretation I feel like he could be saying, “yeah I did this one thing, but I didn’t do the one you are accusing me of.” From the line “I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy” according to the Wailers it is people are judging you and you can’t stand it anymore. So, I feel like I was not too far off from what they were hoping to get across. Overall, I think it’s a pretty good song, both versions.
