"Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley

Bob Marley has written so many awesome songs, and "three little birds" is definitly on my Top Five Marley list. The song starts with a little drum roll and a very cool organ feature that continues throughout the whole song. The organ, possibly a hammond, does simple do-re-do-sol-mi-re-do that is well known and often heard on movie soundtracks. People might say, "I've heard that somewhere." Along with the organ, you can hear a bass guitar, percussion, and a piano, possibly two, playing straight chords. The little organ line is played four times before Marley begins to sing. "Don't-wor-ry-bout-a-thing," which is probably "mi-rei-do-mi-sol-mi." The he goes on to sing "cause-every little thing is gonna-be-all-right" which sounds like "do-la.....-ti-la-sol." The bass line is fairly simple with the noticeable part seeming to be do-sol-mi-sol-do,very simple but very Marleyesque in rhythm. The lyrics I just mentioned are repeated and that ends the first verse. The only poblem is that the song only contains one other verse so it's hard to tell which isthe "chorus" and which is the verse. I will say that this next verse is not the chorus. It contains the song title but is only sang twice while the other verse is sang over and over again. It is cool because the organ feature is taken away on this verse, but a cool lead guitar part is played instead. After this second phrase, the chorus is sung until the Wailers and their beautiful back up singers feel everyone will be able to sing along even in their "high" state of mind!
The song is so cool. It only has two verses and it is awesome. The terrible song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" is like an awful version of this cool song. Bob Marley is one of the few people who is chill enough to make this song wonderful unlike that other guy's song. This song reminds me of sunshine and the beach with a pretty little bird singing of course. the Jamaican beats and sounds are just so wonderfully pleasing and relaxing to the ear and soul.
