I was in a Marley Mood, and on my way to the train station, I had a conversation with a divorcé, who was out food shopping to cook for his date.

He said it was his second date with a lady he met from an online dating site, who was intriguing enough for him to meet up with her again.

The gentleman was engaging and struck me as the kind of person who could easily strike up a face-to-face conversation with a lady he liked. So, I expressed that I'm a little sceptical about hooking up with a stranger online, and he said it's hard to meet someone (single), considering that he is no longer in his party phase, which was understandable.

The gentleman relayed that both he and the young lady were happy that the site offers details about each other, and is not just a dirty site with guys asking for nudes. Still, there was a certain sense of excitement in the way he spoke about his dating tendencies, and I could see how easily one might become addicted to online dating, knowing that if the first or second date fails, then it's easy to move on to another.

When it comes to relationships, I think it's something that we have to work on since we're constantly evolving as individuals, and it's important for couples to find ways that they can grow together.

This collaboration by Damion Marley, Mick Jagger, and Joss Stone, is a clever mix of musicians with different musical genres.

I like the lyrics and I love the dark, artsy mood of the video.

The gentleman and I went our separate ways, but relationships was on my mind.

As I looked through the window, this song,"Affairs of the Heart" by Damian Marley, played in my head.

I think it's important to know when we have a good relationship going, and it's great to take the time to let others know just how valuable they are to you.

The lyrics of this song do just that, and the scenes in the video depict an attractive lady friend of the star, Damian Marley, who identifies the woman as the rock in his life. So, despite all the raving fans that he has, he values the relationship with her, knowing that she is there for him through thick and thin.

Sometimes couples lives take them in different directions, where one might advance more than the other or be on the front burner. However, in most cases, it takes sacrifice, and it's the work of the two that make relationships work.

I love the message of this song.

My third tune is one I like to listen to to hack my happy hormones, besides licking ice cream, of course:

"Beautiful" by Damion Marley ft. Bobby Brown

This song uses reflective humour to reciprocate the genuine love he has for his queen as he sings about her wonderful qualities.

It's a happy song about a beautiful roots woman who nourishes and cares for him.

I trust that you can understand the Jamaican accent and lyrics, if not, google could be your best friend:)

One Love!
