“Sun Is Shining” is a warm, uplifting reggae song by Bob Marley & The Wailers, centered on themes of gratitude, spiritual clarity, and inner peace. Built on a relaxed one-drop rhythm with gentle organ lines and understated guitar skanks, the track reflects Marley’s minimalist songwriting and calm, optimistic outlook. Although written earlier in his career, the definitive version appears on Kaya (1978), an album characterized by laid-back grooves and introspective moods following years of political tension. The song’s simplicity and positive message have made it a timeless reggae classic, widely covered and remixed, and a lasting expression of Marley’s spiritual vision.
