Marleys and Me

Despite my profound adoration toward hip-hop in the 1990's, another love of mine is reggae. But in particular, Bob and Damian Marley are two artists who can truely bring me to my "happy place". the mellow, soothing melodies of reggae music can easily make me happy when I'm feeling unhappy. The pure joy that these artists put forth is tremendous due to their Rastafarian lifestyle, which I totally agree with....

Bob Marley, "Misty Morning":

Misty Morning is my all-time favorite reggae track. I really enjoy the horns in this song, for they are very relaxing. Bob's ability to make people happy through his music is truely incredible for it is almost impossible to feel sadness while listening to a Bob Marley tune. 

Damian Marley, "It Was Written".

Although Damian adds more of a hip-hop sound to his reggae style, he is still indeed the son of the greatest and most influential reggae artist of all time. This song in particular is very mysterious and incorporates a heavy reggae melody with a hip-hop beat. It is very inspiring to see these two very popular and different genre's of music colliding so perfectly.
