The band's popularity was at its highest during 1988, prompting a major record deal with Virgin Records. Shortly thereafter, the group released "Conscious Party," their third album. On the album was the hit single "Tomorrow People," and the album went on to earn a well-deserved Grammy.
All I Need Is You
Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make me happy
All I need is you
I don't need no money
To live how I should
All I need is you
Sorrow sometimes teach a lesson well
So let's look into that morning star
'Cause we know just who we are
I don't need no body
To make me happy
All I need is you
I don't need no money
To live how I should
All I need is you
Man, this road I said it's rocky rough
So much obstacles and barriers
Ecclesiastes man him say
Everything is vanity
I don't need no body
All I need is you
Sorrow sometimes teach a lesson well
And I know that good can come from bad
So let's look into that morning star
'Cause you know just who you are
I don't need no body
To make me happy
All I need is you
I don't need no money
To live how I should
All I need is you
The lyrics to Ziggy Marley's "All I Need is You" express a powerful message of contentment and appreciation for the simplicity of life. The chorus repeats the lines "I don't need no body to make me happy, all I need is you. I don't need no money to live how I should, all I need is you." This sentiment echoes the idea that material possessions and other external factors do not bring true happiness, but rather it is the people in our lives that make us truly fulfilled.
The song also touches on the theme of overcoming obstacles and finding positivity even in the midst of difficult times. The verse "sorrow sometimes teach a lesson well, and I know that good can come from bad, so let's look into that morning star 'cause we know just who we are" suggests that while life may bring challenges and setbacks, it is our perspective and attitude that ultimately shape our experiences.
The final verse references the book of Ecclesiastes and its message that everything in life is temporary and fleeting. The refrain "I don't need no body, all I need is you" takes on an even deeper significance in light of this reminder that material possessions and worldly accomplishments are ultimately insignificant compared to the relationships we have with others.
Overall, the lyrics to "All I Need is You" celebrate the importance of human connection and the value of a simple, contented life.
