Wedding Songs

Reggae songs for wedding

Always I was interested about the history of reggae music; this musical genre appeared in Jamaica, especially in Kingston. I’d always liked to consider myself a “queen” that’s why I often listen reggae, which dissected; this term means “the king’s music” or “to the king”. Of course, there are lots of stories (stories-a wrong word, because they are totally true) about reggae music such as Rastafarian movement, but also about using cannabis to get in intercommunion with God, called Jah.




But, because I suppose you run out of time and you are in need for some reggae songs for a wedding, I end right now my topic about reggae history, even that it’s a very interesting one and all of us should have a knowledge about it to better understand some ideologies, some other musical genres such as dub, hip-hop or jazz. Personally, I like reggae music because is very optimistic, it simply puts a smile on my face and I even believe that people who listen reggae are very friendly and sociable. I don’t promote using cannabis, but how I’d like to live in Jamaica at least one day.

In time, lots of artists created reggae songs and some of them still are eternal and give you goose bumps just hearing the drum. Now, unfortunately, a derivate form of reggae is reggaeton and this musical genre totally doesn’t fit me.

Because I promised you to suggest some reggae songs for a wedding, here is my list with favorite songs which is a pleasure to share it with you: “Baby, I love your way” performed by Big Mountain, “Close to you” performed by Maxi Priest, “Don’t worry, be happy” performed by Bobby McFerrin, “I can see clearly now” performed by Jimmy Cliff, “One love” performed by Bob Marley, “Tomorrow people” performed by Ziggy Marley, “When I see your smile” performed by Singing Sweet, “My best girl” performed by UB40, “Red red wine” performed by UB40, “Kingston town” performed by UB40. One of my favorite reggae song is “Hey, baby” performed by Stephen Marley, and of course “Don’t worry, be happy” which is also my father’s favorite melody. Martina Topley Bird is also a know reggae singer who collaborated with Stephen Marley when composed the song “Sandpaper kisses”.

Well, this song is not such cheerful, that’s why I don’t suggest you to include it in your wedding playlist. As I said in the first lines, this musical genre is totally optimistic. Just listening a burden and I’m already bubbling over with high spirits. I end this article with a great quote told by the famous Bob Marley: “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain”.
