Reggae Love Songs
July 5th 2006 23:25
Reggae love songs, or should it be songs of misery? Though I won't get all emotional on you, I'll spell out some songs for both the lovers and those who have lost love. Seek them out as they are all fantastic reggae, rocksteady and ska songs.
Everything I Own - Ken Boothe
Though Ken Boothe may have some better songs, I have been listening to this song quite a bit, particularly a cover version by Colin and Kelly. Boothe tells how he'd give up everything he owns just to get his love back again.
Suicide - Alva Reggie Lewis
From the fantastic album Safe Travel, Lewis tells how he would commit suicide if his love left him. Quite harsh except in this song, which is so sweet and catchy.
True Confession - The Silvertones
Fantastic vocal group on this track. The Silvertones True Confession is that they treated her so mean. Top ska track.
I'm Gonna Love You - Ewan & Jerry with the Carribeats
A bit of a reggae rarity, but a cover of a soul song. The pair croon that "I'm gonna love ya, love ya, love ya, love ya, love ya yeah love, love you all the time" Plenty of love.
Strong Physical Urge - Chris Murray
A big part of love one might say. Chris Murray is a contemporary favourite and has a host of songs pro and against love.
Bob Marley - No Woman, No Cry
Where Derrick Morgan said, if you don't have a girl then get one of your own, Bob Marley commiserates with those without love. I love Bob and he has many songs for the topic.
