Bob Marley - Stir It Up

At 6:40 this morning, my alarm clock, which randomizes through about 1,300 songs, made the perfect choice. A few strums of a muted electric guitar. The whir and swoop of the organ. The shuffle of the bass. The background singers purring. Then Bob. Oh bob. It's been a long time, since you've been on my mind. Ahhhh. He is groggy just like me. But is he lulling me back to sleep? No, he is tempting me out of bed, urging me to go for a run, hinting at the gorgeous sunshine waiting for me outside. Luring me. Entreating me. Beseeching me. Stir it up, little darling. Go, rise, go forward. Propel. Enjoy life. This is the power of music, of rasta, of ja creation.
