Sublime and Menlik Zergabachew

Today I have some rock music for you. This song by Sublime is possibly my favorite one by them. This is the last song that the original singer of Sublime, Bradley Nowell, ever did. He sadly died right before it was released. But I have to say, this is a great song for him to have as his legacy. In the world of rock, this song is one of the most iconic songs of the 90s. This is one of the songs that brought punk rock to the forefront and made it more of a mainstream sound. Even after Sublime's breakup which happened over 10 years ago, this song persists as a fan favorite and is still around today on all kinds of radio stations. Sublime still remains an immensely popular band across America and is one of the most notable acts of the 90s. Almost everyone who was a kid in the 90s knows Sublime and they all know this song for sure. For being one of the last songs done together as a group, this is surely a knockout. This song features the beachy and coastal sounds that are often associated with the California area. This song is the perfect fusion of reggae and rock and I love how Sublime was able to pull that off. This song is and probably always will be one of my favorite and one of the best reggae styled songs. Today's instrumental song is actually an audition that happened on The Voice. Menlik Zergabachew did an absolutely incredible cover of this song and it kind of blew me away. I honestly think this version is better than the original. It has more of a reggae feel to it which is absolutely perfect for his voice and this style of song. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
