This song is called No Woman No Cry and it is by famous Reggae artist Bob Marley. I chose this song because I remembered it from elementary school- I had a very sweet teacher who would play Bob Marley during our passing periods and I specifically remember hearing this one in her class while I was having a bad day. I think a lot of people can relate to having happy connections to Bob Marley songs, and Reggae in general, as it is a kind of music that is very uplifting and positive. The lyrics “Everything is gonna be alright” is a common message in this genre, and paired with the laid back, smooth rhythms, it creates an atmosphere of peace, love, and resilience. I really enjoy this genre of music, for the positivity and also for the sound. I love the sound of steel drums, the relaxed guitar riffs, and the easy-to-follow percussive beat.
