Jayme Ivison's piano and vocal take on Bob Marley's "Is This Love" went public on March 12, 2024. The Austin composer and performing songwriter recounts how this expression came to be: "On a random Tuesday morning, I awoke with a swell of emotion rising within me. I shuffled to my old upright piano. As if from out of nowhere, this deep and unexpected expression poured forth. I had never before played or sang this great cover song. It just simply moved through me."
This piece was arranged, performed, and recorded by Jayme Ivison in Cedar Park, TX, mixed by Andy D. Park in Seattle, WA, and mastered by Jeff Lipton in Boston, MA.
Lyrics
I wanna love you
And treat you right
I wanna love you
Every day and every night
We'll be together
With a roof right over our heads
Is this love that I'm feeling?
Is this love that I'm feeling?
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
I'm willing and able
So I put my cards on the table
And I wanna love you
And treat you right
Wanna love you
Every day, every night
We'll be together
With a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter
Of my single bed
We'll share the same room
And God provide the bread
Is this love that I'm feeling?
Is this love that I'm feeling?
Oh, I'm willing and able
So I put my cards on your table
And I wanna love and treat you right
I wanna love you
Every day, every night
I wanna love you
Every day, every night
I wanna love you
