Don't You Kill Love
Ziggy Marley · Other Songs - Ziggy Marley
In the blink of an eye time passes us by
Where does it go
Now will you take a stand for love I am
Forever more
These wars have wounded my heart so my trust breaks apart
To human I say these words
Don't you kill love don't you kill love don't you kill love
This chance we should not miss to share this sacred bliss
And spread it all around I'm gonna spread it all around
My heart been broke before but still I must endure
Keep the spirits high keep the spirits high
Cause it's the greatest things in life calls for the most sacrifice
Are we brave are we brave enough
Don't you kill love don't you kill love don't you kill love
About Don't You Kill Love

Recorded during a period where the artist frequently explored the intersection of personal relationships and broader cultural responsibilities, the track reflects his signature blend of acoustic guitar, steady percussion, and vocal delivery rooted in Rastafarian philosophy. The song addresses the delicate balance between affection and the preservation of one's faith, urging listeners to protect their love for the divine while navigating earthly connections. As a key component of Marley's extensive discography, the recording exemplifies the genre's characteristic emphasis on harmony and message over mere entertainment. It captures the essence of his work from the mid-to-late 1980s, a time when he continued to champion themes of unity and moral integrity. The track remains a significant example of how reggae music serves as a vehicle for social commentary, encouraging introspection on the nature of love and its relationship to spiritual devotion.
