Love?

Original Song: “Is This Love”

Album: Kaya

Label: Tuff Gong/Island

Year: 1978

Notes:

If you have followed my earlier remix projects, I pick at least one major commercial hit, to offer a contrast to a song that often overshadows the rest of the Artist’s works. This one is of course no exception. I was blessed to come across the masters of this song and decided to make it an extended version, while keeping most of the instrumentation.

 

I wanna love you and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We’ll be together with a roof right over our heads;
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed;
We’ll share the same room, yeah! – for Jah provide the bread.
Is this love – is this love – is this love -
Is this love that I’m feelin’?
I wanna know – wanna know – wanna know now!
I got to know – got to know – got to know now!

I’m willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
I wanna love you – I wanna love and treat – love and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We’ll be together, with a roof right over our heads;
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed;
We’ll share the same room, for Jah provide the bread.

Is this love – is this love – is this love -
Is this love that I’m feelin’? (x2)

Wo-o-o-oah! Oh yes, I know; yes, I know – yes, I know now!
Yes, I know; yes, I know – yes, I know now!

I’m willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
See: I wanna love you and treat you right
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We’ll be together, with a roof right over our heads!
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed;
We’ll share the same room, yeah! Jah provide the bread.
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed
