Bob Marley's music is an international language.
His music has survived several generations and spread across the entire world. Every country I have been to there has been Bob Marley playing at some point. And why not? The laid back tunes fit the hostel demographic perfectly. They're about enjoying life, accepting others and generally being happy. Who could have a problem with that?
One of my favourite songs is 'Three Little Birds'
The lyrics tell a story of him waking up and three little birds on his doorstep are singing to him. The birds sing to him "Don't worry 'bout a thing, 'Cause every little thing [is] gonna be all right."
Like all of his songs it's open for interpretation. Some would say he forgot to mention his morning joint that causes the birds to speak directly to him. But I prefer to interpret it as how we should all see the world. Wake up, the sun is shining, it's a beautiful day and everything is going to be all right. Happy days! Imagine if the whole word thought like that. Imagine if every morning three little birds reassured you, how different would your day be with a carefree, optimistic attitude?
