about

An adept cover of one of Jamaica's classic tunes. A timeless song about loving someone for who they are not what they are.

lyrics

(Verse):
You may not be a movie star,
You may not drive a big fast car,
But I love you in every way,
Yes I love you in every way.

(Chorus):
I don't know why, oh why (repeats)

(Verse):
The dress you wear,
May be too tight,
Some people say,
That not look right,
But I don't care about their views,
I will keep on loving you.

(Chorus):
I don't know why, oh why (repeats)

You may not be a movie star,
But I love you for you what you are. (repeats)

(Chorus):
I don't know why, oh why (repeats)

But I love you in every way,
Yes I love you in every way.

(Chorus):
I don't know why, oh why (repeats)

about

Akasha Chicago, Illinois

The Akasha sound gives birth to an unmistakable variety of heavy, raw grooves reminiscent of The Skatalites, The Maytals, Heptones, Desmond Dekker and The Wailers.

"Akasha excels at conjuring up memories of reggae’s heyday, hewing close to its stylistic conventions while stretching out enough to incorporate many of its various strains and mutations."
