I want to love you, every day and every night
We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads

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'?

"Is This Love" by Bob Marley & The Wailers is a love song that portrays the feeling of being in love and the desire of being with the person one loves. The song expresses the singer's willingness and ability to love and treat his lover right. The lyrics talk about sharing everything, including a roof, shelter, and even a single bed with the person he loves. The songwriter uses the metaphor of Jah, the Rastafarian God, as the provider of everything these lovers need. The repeated question, "Is this love that I'm feeling?" shows how overwhelming and uncertain love can be, especially when someone has just fallen in love.
The song's upbeat tempo, catchy melody, and reggae rhythm create a positive and happy vibe that is typical of Bob Marley's music. The upbeat rhythm of the song disguises the rather serious message about love that the song carries. Bob Marley was famous for creating songs that carry strong messages of social justice and political activism. Still, in "Is This Love," he deviated from his usual style and created a song that speaks to universal experiences of love.
