Speakers In The Sky

A vision of walking around and imagining my Walkman headphones were actually giant speakers accompanying me forcing the world into dancing and performing their tasks to my music. If I had giant speakers up in the sky blasting my own music then everywhere I went people would have to listen to my music and the world would have a uniform emotion, a sort of interconnectedness. Like an unrelenting soundtrack to which everyone must acquiesce… These are my speakers in the sky.

Johnny Nash - Guava Jelly

Another loss earlier this month, John Nash Jr. (August 19, 1940 – October 6, 2020) was an American singer-songwriter, best known for his 1972 hit "I Can See Clearly Now". Primarily a reggae and pop singer, he was one of the first non-Jamaican artists to record reggae music in Kingston.

Whilst "I Can See Clearly Now" was his most popular song Guava Jelly is probably my favourite by him. Possibly the most romantic reggae song ever it really showcases what a talent he was and such a great voice. Another artist that will be very much missed but has left a lasting mark on the world he has left behind.
