Musicality Matters: "Three Little Birds" - Bob Marley

"Three Little Birds"

Whether you think this little vamp of a tune is about the three little canaries chirping outside Bob Marley's window, or it's referring to the "I Threes", the three lovely background vocalists of his band, it remains a solid staple in the remarkable library of songs he left us with. It was the 4th track on side two of the 1977 album Exodus, and was released as a single in 1980.

I find it to be a soothing little song with a catchy riff, and a wonderful message. One listen and both the instrumental sounds, and lyrics will be floating around in your head for the day. If ever there's a time where you need a little musical relief from life, this song will put you in a relaxed, hopeful state of mind.

Don't Worry About a Thing.

'Cause Every Little Thing 'Gonna be Alright!
