Sun Is Shining
Bob Marley & The Wailers · Kaya - Deluxe Edition
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, can you understand?
When the mornin' gather the rainbow
Want you to know, I'm a rainbow too
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, can you understand?
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know just if you can, here I stand
Oh-no-no-no-no-no-no
Can you understand me now, baby?
Do you believe me?
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, can you understand?
When the mornin' gather the rainbow
Want you to know, I'm a rainbow too
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, can you understand?
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know just if you can, here I stand
Oh-no-no-no-no-no-no
Can you understand me now, baby?
Do you believe me?
About Sun Is Shining
"Sun Is Shining" is a Bob Marley and the Wailers song that balances warmth with a slightly mystical mood. Unlike the group's most direct political anthems, this track works through atmosphere: sunlight, weather, and feeling become part of a spiritual landscape. The groove is relaxed but purposeful, and Marley's vocal carries both ease and seriousness. The song has had a long afterlife, including later remixes that brought it to club audiences, but the original appeal is rooted in reggae's ability to make repetition feel meditative. It is a sunny recording, but not a shallow one.
