Antigua's Anthem: 'Love Is The Way' Resounds with Unity and Purpose
Gassy Dread and Drastic masterfully deliver a spiritual anthem, “Love Is The Way”, that resonates deeply with the heart of Antigua. This song encapsulates the blend of Rastafarian faith and Christian values, creating a unique soundscape that sends chills through listeners right from the opening notes.
The track serves as a unifying call, merging melody with powerful lyrics: “Love is God – Love is Key – Love will set us free.” It presents itself not only as a soca anthem but also as an evocative sermon that embodies the multicultural essence of Antigua & Barbuda.
Drastic, with his rich vocal delivery, is known for popular hits like “Sweet Antigua”. Meanwhile, Gassy Dread, also known as Prime Minister Gaston Browne, showcases his artistic talents, asserting that if he weren't leading his nation, he would certainly be leading the world through music.
The chorus “Live and Let Live” beautifully symbolizes freedom and resilience. However, as the current social challenges loom, the song intensifies its plea for justice against pressing issues such as child trafficking and media monopoly. This track transcends mere music; it embodies a prophetic message, serving as both a healing tool and a statement of resistance.
'Love Is The Way' stands as a remarkable gift from Antigua to the global community, capturing the fight for justice and the celebration of love.
