I See It Everyday

Recorded in 1981 at Dynamic Sounds in Kingston, Jamaica, for Pablo Moses’s Pave the Way sessions. Geoffrey Chung produced, arranged, recorded, and mixed the album, with Moses on vocals and Chung’s production team shaping the track’s dub-conscious roots-reggae sound. The song appeared on Pablo Moses’s 1981 Island album Pave the Way, a record that retrospective critics describe as one of his strongest and as a classic roots statement. Reviewers singled out “I See It Everyday” as the album’s social-commentary track and part of its portrait of difficult Jamaican urban life. The track has remained part of later Pave the Way reissues, including the 2005 Pave the Way + Dubs edition, and it continues to be cited in later reviews and track guides as one of the album’s standout cuts. Its persistence in reissue culture has kept it in circulation as a touchstone of Pablo Moses’s reflective roots style.
