Early music is generally understood as comprising all music from the earliest times up to the Baroque. However, today this term has come to include "any music for which a historically appropriate style of performance must be reconstructed on the basis of surviving scores, treatises, instruments and other contemporary evidence."
According to Margaret Bent, "Renaissance notation is under-prescriptive by our standards; when translated into modern form it acquires a prescriptive weight that overspecifies and distorts its original openness. Accidentals … may or may not have been notated, but what modern notation requires would then have been perfectly apparent without notation to a singer versed in counterpoint".
Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley, OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the rhythm guitarist and lead singer for the ska, rocksteady and reggae band Bob Marley & The Wailers (1963–1981). Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited with helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience.
Marley's music was heavily influenced by the social issues of his homeland, and he is considered to have given voice to the specific political and cultural nexus of Jamaica. His best-known hits include "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Could You Be Loved", "Stir It Up", "Get Up Stand Up", "Jamming", "Redemption Song", "One Love" and, "Three Little Birds", as well as the posthumous releases "Buffalo Soldier" and "Iron Lion Zion". The compilation album Legend (1984), released three years after his death, is reggae's best-selling album, going ten times Platinum which is also known as one Diamond in the U.S., and selling 25 million copies worldwide.
It was the first day
And the first day I saw you
Never really thought
That you would be the one
To make the sky turn blue
It was amazing
The way that you captured me
It turned me hard
And made me feel we can be so easily
How enchanting, as we're dancing
My life began to change
Now I don't know what to control
But all that I can say is
Era la musica
That made me run to you
Era la musica
That made my dreams come true
Era la musica
As we danced the night away
Era la musica
That made me love you
So exciting
How did I find someone like you?
Someone that made me feel
That love was really oh so true
It was incredible
The way that this came to be
He took my hand and then began
To take a hold of me
How enchanting, as we're dancing
My life began to change
Now I don't know what to control
But all that I can say was
Era la musica
That made me run to you
Era la musica
That made my dreams come true
Era la musica
As we danced the night away
Era la musica
That made me love you
It was the music that made me love you
The way you move takes my breath away
The way you dance girl is like no other
Was it the music that made me stay?
Stay with me girl I'll show you where we can go
Far away to a place only love goes
Yo no se lo que me esta pasando
A ti te sigo amando
How enchanting, as we're dancing
My life began to change
Now I know what to control
But all that I can say is
Era la musica
That made me run to you
Era la musica
That made my dreams come true
Era la musica
As we danced the night away
Era la musica
That made me love you
Era la musica
That made me run to you
Era la musica
That made my dreams come true
Era la musica
As we danced the night away
Era la musica
That made me love you
