Bob Marley Meaning

Improved Essays
The celebrity I chose is Bob Marley who was a very known reggae musician from Jamaica. I chose him for my project, because he’s someone that I admire a lot and the message he portrayed through his music. Listening to his music makes me feel happy and feel positive about life. Everytime I listen to his music, it makes me think about life, relaxes my mind and allows me to concentrate on myself. Also, I'm a type of person that likes reggae and like the Caribbean culture.

Bob Marley grew up in a poor town in Jamaica and he didn't think about money and being in a high class. He mostly thought about the others that aren't living in a peace environment and are suffering. That's the reason why Bob Marley thought that making songs will relax your mind and think about the positives in

    I chose a song that everyone knows about but no one really listens to this genre and song a lot; it is “3 Little Birds” by the one and only, Bob Marley.

Lets break it down into two parts: the lyrics and the background score. The lyrics of “3 Little Birds” promote a positive and uplifting outlook towards things/people when you listen to it, and Bob Marley’s voice helps it to soothe our minds.…
