”The smallest change in perspective can transform a life.” --Skip Marley

Slow down. This may be the catch phrase of the current pandemic culture. While the corona virus has killed thousands and shut down institutions worldwide; it has given us a new perspective. Slow down. In social isolation; many of us have gotten the rare chance to slow down from the daily grind of accumulating wealth and social clout. We’ve had a chance to focus on what is really important. Good health. Family. Social justice. Kindness. Cooperation.
Enter Skip Marley, the 23 year old grandson of a music icon. Skip Marley rose to musical maturity during the same year as Bob Marley’s 75th birthday celebration.
A child is throwing a tantrum in Target.
“Do you want me to beat you right here in the store?” says her masked mother. “I told you I don’t have the money for that toy!”
Then, you hear “Slow down,” a vibrant duet featuring Skip Marley and Grammy nominated singer H.E.R. over the PA system.
”Slow down, and let me love yooooou…”
Aaaah! An Oasis.
Which brings us to one of the most remarkable aspects of ”Slow Down;” it found its way into Michelle Obama’s playlist of soundtracks for her podcasts!
