today is bob marley’s birthday. listen to him and chances are you won’t need therapy. listen to his sweetness and be comforted; to his rebel music and be roused; to his odes to jah and be lifted to a place that belongs to everyone.
for valentine’s day that’s coming up soon, one of his love songs:
i wanna love you and treat you right;
i wanna love you every day and every night:
we’ll be together with a roof right over our heads;
we’ll share the shelter of my single bed;
we’ll share the same room, yeah! – for jah provide the bread.
is this love – is this love – is this love -
is this love that i’m feelin’?
is this love – is this love – is this love -
is this love that i’m feelin’?
i wanna know – wanna know – wanna know now!
i got to know – got to know – got to know now!
i’m willing and able,
so i throw my cards on your table!
i wanna love you – i wanna love and treat – love and treat you right;
i wanna love you every day and every night:
we’ll be together, yeah! – with a roof right over our heads;
we’ll share the shelter, yeah, oh now! – of my single bed;
we’ll share the same room, yeah! – for jah provide the bread.
Hi Isabella,

He was a very talented musician, cut down in the prime of his craft.
Its nice to see that you have reminded me about his birthday plus give a link of his songs as well with lyrics.
He got the magic in his voice and I am totally agree with you.
The song is one of his best. the rythm is nice, lyrics are simple but very sweet. No comment! It is sad he no longer exists, he could have changed a lot of things and help avoiding crisis.
Thank you for honoring him!
