Story behind the song
Recorded in a single afternoon at Tuff Gong. The vocal take you hear on the final master is the first one — we tried a few more polished versions but nothing matched the raw emotion of that first pass. Sometimes you have to trust the moment.

[Verse] I remember the days when the radio played Nothing but the sweetest sounds, the songs they made Now the youths them ask me what the music meant I tell them every chord was time well spent [Chorus] The roots are deep, the roots are strong We carry them in every song The roots are deep, the roots are true They passing through me, passing through you [Bridge] From Trench Town to Tottenham, the message is the same Love, equality, and rising above the pain [Chorus]
