Here from México. I was a kid when this came out, and hell, it still gives me the chills just like back in the days. Just like people say: a really good song never gets too old.
I remember when MTV played this constantly and I just loved it. I’ve never been particularly religious but I’ve always appreciated religious and spiritual music, and this goes so hard.
I'm Christian, we share the same God, and the same old Testament, and this song soothes me on a daily basis. I think anyone that believes in a higher power can relate to the words.
I'm atheist but I listen to this song to feel positivity. I respect how he is worshipping his god without shame and it brings me some kind of peace. And reggae music is great in general.
There is a priest who actually was atheist so he when in search to find that god wasn’t real and ended up proving himself wrong and ended up finding out god was real it’s not pressure but I hope Jesus speaks to u
Also a fact lol it’s not to be mean but the person who made this song is jewish and they are actually anti christ this song isn’t about worshiping god it’s more about worshipping yourself he’s anti Christ but god made a promise back to jews that in the ends of days he will show himself only to the jews and give them a second chance to worship him but no this song isn’t about worshiping god it’s confusing I thought it was about worshipping god to lol still a good song tho 😅
@Faruq Raheen El Bey Neffer he’s actually anti christ I didn’t even know that myself but god made a promise tho present himself to the Jews and to give them a second chance to worship god he doesn’t worship god at all which is confusing Ik but the king without a crown song is actually about worshipping yourself and not god I was shocked to ik
All of these people commenting about Gaza, Palestine, anti-semitisim, anti israel but thats not what this song or any of his songs are trying to achieve.... we already dont have enough time in this world to fill it with thoughts of hate. Try to listen to his music and just enjoy yourself and succumb to the emotions that his music presents... and most of all just be happy :)
I was 14 when this song came out in in 2004. It’s May 2023 now and I’m now 33. This song still hits me hard being in my mid 30s as it did when I was a teen.
I GIVE THANKS TO THE MOST HIGH AND SEND POSITIVE VIBES TO ALL THAT READ THIS IN THESE STRANGE TIMES BE STRONG BROTHERS AND SISTERS BLESS (FREEDOM IS ESSENTIAL)
absolutely! Ive been listening to this song for... oh man... 8 years. Its one of my go to. This whole album was great. Life changing for me. I am not religious but I am spiritual and when something speaks to you embrace its love.
My dad sang heavy metal when he was younger and died at 30. For the few months before he passed he would play this every day. Took me almost 30 years and I'm barley starting to understand what it meant.
I listen to this song almost daily.. Helps me feel at peace and remember to take things one day at a time and give every thing to God... Thank you for making amazing music from the heart Matisyahu
Back in 06 had a job I hated that lasted 14 months.Played this song every damn day(on a videotape)after finishing work just to make me feel better.Thank you Matisyahu.
That is so weird, I had the same thing happen to me. It is such a well constructed song. I am not even religious person but there’s a great message regardless. Peace and love to you and yours.
@@dancygr You are right. The first time I heard it, I loved it. The rhythm, the lyrics, the beat, and the vibe. It is so wholesome and good. I'm atheist, but I love studying religion and listening to religious music. I was surprised when this song popped in my head because it had been so long since I heard it. It's truly a timeless tune 🎶
It actually kind of does though, his music is heavily influenced by Judaism.. Have you head all of his references to God, and Mt. Zion? I mean he is a hasidic jew.. Still great music. Just saying.
At some point you have to forget about who is singing it or what the words are. Enjoy the music. It could have been jibberish what he was saying. You feel the vibe and the flow of the music.
Again, Let go of cultures, races or beliefs. Why can people not just enjoy music without having to think about all the things that devide us. Let music bring us together.
Again, you are trying to start up a discussion that is not why people are here. Enjoy the music people. He is a great artist with great lyrics. This has nothing to do with race or beliefs. Enjoy the music people.

My love will rip a hole in the ceiling Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing Want Moshiach now And see, I lift up my eyes where my help come from And I seen it circling around from the mountain Thunder! You feel it in your chest You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest You're not vexed When I look to the sky where my help come from And I've seen it circling around from the mountain Thunder! You feel it in your chest
We have a huge Hasidic population here at the Jersey shore in Lakewood, New Jersey i don't always see eye to eye with them but try to respect them. I've always loved this song and just learned today that Matisyahu is Matthew in Hebrew. I've been loving this song for years and my name is Matthew I never knew that. Crazy. This song is a banger 🔥
Masterpiece. This is how the process of reaching rock bottom and then comes to an awakening. The process isn't not easy it requires the removal of ego, a good guide, and more work in one self.and when you get there through getting to know th source, then there is still challenges but you have discovered the Truth of life, and learned have to navigate it and overcome, and spread the knowledge to others. We are one. Let's please start acting as one would you? No more division, no more hatred, no more hurting others and no more hurting yourself by sabotaging your beautiful promising life. 🌿 Love you all.
Jewish reggae is my thing. Always loved his flow and vibe. He hypes me up still in 2021. Gonna definitely represent in 2022 and beyond. Good music is good music.
Matisyahu... I know life had once stripped you of the appearance of who you are, and it seems you've once been stricken with a self-doubt... But, I want to thank you for making this music!! Youth has genuinely been an inspirational piece throughout my life, starting in my early adolescence! I hope my kids will find it for themselves, too, someday. It reminded me of what my heart already knew, but forgot in those suicidal moments of my youth... And yours is still one of the **only** Reggae-style music that I actually _LIKE_ listening to!!!
My older brother used to slap this when i was young. He was very intelligent and loved this guy because he knew what he was saying in this song. Been 5 years since i seen my brother. I have been searching for this song the longest and im glad i found it. And now i know why he loved this song so much.
Damn...I remember listening to this back in 2009 broken and sad!! Alone. 7 years later Joined the Military and found a wife. And years later here i am God is powerful, take everything this world has teached you!! about money about anything pop culture anything that preaches sin!!! Bow down to God and he will see you are always takened cared of By his Powerful angels. Im going to give you a hint keep fighting for justice and follow the path of righteousness dont let these savages gangs the television pop tell you how to think or do or live....EVER!!!!! you will be stripped of you crown when you do! Psalm 34:15-19 King James Version (KJV) 15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
@@chesterstevens8870 jokes on you. I dont have a wife. Dont be too sure about yours budd. You might be as well subconsciously mirroring whats currently happening to you. Im pretty sure you have allot of courage and bravery playing call of duty and fortnite. Just because someone decided to serve there country don't mean they are unlucky. 2020 aint over so don't get too cocky. Pretty sure your the same type of guy who buys grunt style shirts and pretend your a badass. Take it like this some serve so ungrateful people like you won't.
I'm a 55 yr old white construction worker from the Poconos and absolutely dig this music. I'm not the target demographic but love it just the same. Brilliant!
This song inspires me so much. It has been in my playlist for years. As a dedicated Christian, the connection I feel each time I hear it assures me of the love that the One True God has for all humanity
All these people talking about who Matisyahu is instead of the power music he sings, I don't care for his race because he can't chose it, I don't bother with what he believes in cause he can believe in whatever he wants cause he has that as a human right.. I am here for the beautiful message he brings and you all should too
I listened to this song before I knew he was singing about God. It's neat how that happened because now I am saved qnd living for God. (To the best of my ability) but coming back to this song and hearing it with new ears has blown my mind. Praise Yeshua.
This song gave me a great deal of hope while struggling in the battle with drug addiction. "Trying to stay high , your bound to be low" lol that shot hit home with me .
Frankly, My Dear, I don’t give a damn. Just be sure he gets the basics like Led Zeppelin, RUSH, Pink Floyd, and Scorpions. For a well rounded impresario of the 21st Century he will become.
Just now heard this again after loving him years and years ago. Connection to his music and message is even stronger and shining brighter than ever ✨💙✨
Phillipians 2:10-11. That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tounge should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to glory of the father.
The first time I ever heard the name Matisyahu was earlier this year when he canceled a performance at the House of Blues in Chicago because of violent anti Israeli protests. I went online to find information about him. Who is this guy? I've been listening to his music ever since because it's really good. I'm not a rap or reggae fan so the subtitles behind him in the video are helpful 😊. I'll continue to explore his music 😃.
THANK YOU MATISYAHU. PERFECT MINISTRY FROM A LEVITE. ANYONE WHO MINISTERS TO THE LORD IS CONSIDERED A LEVITE. LISTEN IF IT MINISTERS TO YOUR SPIRIT PEOPLE.
Pray all you want. Pulse never happened as they say it did . No doctor would be allowed to wear bloody shoes spreading bio hazard in a hospital for 6 weeks. No victims would ever be carried TOWARDS an active shooting scene like the crisis actors were.
+OMEGAPLEX I was just hospitalized at ORMC. Coming from I-4, we took Kaley, of course. Heart breaks just looking at Pulse. I had one nurse who was working that morning. So many affected, in so many ways. But, we all love our town, and our people.
Esta canción tiene la capacidad de transformar mi estado de ánimo....su letra es una declaración de fe, de que todo va a estar bien, sólo hay que creer.
" As a native of Crown Heights, that was born at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital with a Trinidadian background, swear down fam.. DIS song here, is still and straight 🔥🔥🔥" Talk done.
I am athiest and I love this song. It just sounds good and regardless of my religious views this still has a positive message. Good is good regardless if coming from God or not.
@@Levo42691 did you learn that from a man and his concepts of good? I appreciate both your points though it is the absolutist perspective that seems more likely to be flawed for you are human and imperfect. For example who's God is the source of all right and morality. You would say yours.... tho there are those who also believe in God or a God who would have a different morality, and then also another. There are terrorists who think they are right based on their beliefs but wouldnt u think they are wrong.... I think it is important to understand subjectivity and objectivity etc... it is easy for humans to become bias perhaps through cognitive biases such as confirmation bias etc
@@nunyabiz2117 God put His laws on my hearts and His morals on my conscience. There is only One True Creator. We could debate on that however, that leads to both of us being upset cause neither of us could prove to each other what God is the real God my God operates on Faith and Belief neither of which can be proven. However if we look at there actions and the fruit they produce in life we should beable to see what God has done for them. I personally don't think good is subject I think good has been made into a subjective word so man can think they are doing good even if it is outside of God morals.
I never heard of Matisyahu until what happened at Rototom Sunsplash. This was antisemitism as far as I am concerned because he is Jewish. Now Matisyahu has become my favorite artist.
+Obiwan Youknowme he was uninvited because he was jewish and folks started to pressure him to make a public statement support towards Palestina and not Israel or any kind of jewish state (which is ironic since that was peace festival) Yet, some dude called Capleton got in and sang about mudering gays and lesbian and wasn't disinvited, due to most folks claiming the ironic and hypocritical statemente Rototom organizers made, he was un-banned, yet; he didn't go there as far as I know.
fdslk1 Thanks, I only just heard of this guy through this video, I was actually curious, not being a dick, just to be clear. That's shit though, I hope he didn't go.
Obiwan Youknowme not a problem. Left winged asshats are usually all about "Israel is evil - Palestine free" yet, no word spoken about Tibet and China from them.

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I'll be honest I'm not really the religious type but my goodness I feel some kind of spirit lift/ blessing. Also this song has such a tight reggae feel and so much motivating power to it!!!
I haven’t listened to this in ages. I had the album awhile back but sold it. Today I hopped on Amazon and bought another copy. This time it’s staying! I had the chance to see them in NYC once. I wish I could relive that day! So much fun!
I love him.. the best video I ever saw of him was in more recent years a man was doing a cover and he had no idea that he was riiight there.. he sang with him and then ended up introducing himself. He’s a great artist.
I used to love this song as a kid but never understood or even bothered looking up the lyrics. Now as an adult, I went searching for it and I’m so glad I did. God is good ❤ He is with us always even when we can’t see it.
Adoracion con el mas alto, a pleno, antes la escuchaba y sentia un poder en el tema que lo diferenciaba de otros, hoy leo la letra y entiendo todo... obra de arte para el mas alto prueba de que existe, si queda algo de ego dejalo ir, el mas alto te hara encontrarte con tu esencia, con la plenitud total, fuera de toda religion, de toda discriminacion, de toda guerra, somos espiritu, es nuestro mayor valor... ESPIRITU, MENTE Y CUERPO. Saludos! PAZ

it meant that a guy being blessed of redemption and understand of God wisdom but cant call himself a follower o Lord Jesus Christ.
You have my respect, friend.
so sorry for your loss and he was so young!
May Jesus bless him Amen 🙏✝️❤️
I'm Christian But I Love Matisyahu's Music! It's So Uplifting!
Except haahaha he is singing about ushering in the false messiah or you know the antichrist if you consider yourself a Christian.
Existence without god is death. Like a king without his crown.
Thank god everyday for life to feel the sun and warmth sometimes to cry with the rain....to love, life.
I don't care what anyone says.
This is when he was at his very best.
This song is one of the most meaningful songs in all of reggae.
Bring this back.
Listening in 2024, beautiful song! I'm Buddhist but can fully appreciate this masterpiece, great message!!!!
I listen to this song almost daily.. Helps me feel at peace and remember to take things one day at a time and give every thing to God... Thank you for making amazing music from the heart Matisyahu
I will do the same. Day 1 February 28, 2020. Thanks.

Lyrics:
You're all that I have and you're all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there's no me
You're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
I'll stand on my own two feet
Won't be brought down on one knee
Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown Heights burnin' up all through till midnight
Said, thank you to my God, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being
Sing to my god all these songs of love and healing
Want Moshiach now so it's time we start revealing
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being
Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing
Want Moshiach now
Strip away the layers and reveal your soul
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow
If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found
Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground
Like a King without his Crown
Yes, you keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground
Given up your pride and the you heard a sound
Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being
Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing
Want Moshiach now so it's time we start revealing
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being
Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing
Want Moshiach now
And see, I lift up my eyes where my help come from
And I seen it circling around from the mountain
Thunder!
You feel it in your chest
You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest
You're not vexed
When I look to the sky where my help come from
And I've seen it circling around from the mountain
Thunder!
You feel it in your chest
I searched this CD out like somebody CRAZY BACK IN THE DAY !! THIS SONG CHANGED MY LIFE !!!

MTV use to play this jam every morning. I watch it before heading to school. The song just came to my head today.
Can’t believe I get to see him live tonight for the first time ever soooo stoked !
Even after all these years, the power of this song still resonates in me. Shalom ❤

"If you're trying to stay high, you're bound to stay low"
I really felt that one, the only thing you can control is your expectations.
Trying to stay high, bound to stay low
You want god but you cant deplete your ego
Deepest lyrics ive ever heard
We have a huge Hasidic population here at the Jersey shore in Lakewood, New Jersey i don't always see eye to eye with them but try to respect them. I've always loved this song and just learned today that Matisyahu is Matthew in Hebrew. I've been loving this song for years and my name is Matthew I never knew that. Crazy. This song is a banger 🔥
Masterpiece. This is how the process of reaching rock bottom and then comes to an awakening. The process isn't not easy it requires the removal of ego, a good guide, and more work in one self.and when you get there through getting to know th source, then there is still challenges but you have discovered the Truth of life, and learned have to navigate it and overcome, and spread the knowledge to others. We are one. Let's please start acting as one would you? No more division, no more hatred, no more hurting others and no more hurting yourself by sabotaging your beautiful promising life. 🌿 Love you all.
I'm in no way a religious person, but these guys are amazing musicians no matter what background you are from. relax and enjoy good music :)
Jewish reggae is my thing. Always loved his flow and vibe. He hypes me up still in 2021. Gonna definitely represent in 2022 and beyond. Good music is good music.

Yeshua is God, praise his name.
Matisyahu... I know life had once stripped you of the appearance of who you are, and it seems you've once been stricken with a self-doubt... But, I want to thank you for making this music!! Youth has genuinely been an inspirational piece throughout my life, starting in my early adolescence! I hope my kids will find it for themselves, too, someday. It reminded me of what my heart already knew, but forgot in those suicidal moments of my youth... And yours is still one of the **only** Reggae-style music that I actually _LIKE_ listening to!!!
My older brother used to slap this when i was young. He was very intelligent and loved this guy because he knew what he was saying in this song. Been 5 years since i seen my brother. I have been searching for this song the longest and im glad i found it. And now i know why he loved this song so much.
aw
What happened to your brother man ?
Now we all wanna know what happened to him after all this time. And what became of you
joe feao yeah what happened to your bro
joe feao go see your brother. I just reconnected with mine a little bit ago after not talking to him for over a year.
This song will always bring me back to God's foundation.
Damn...I remember listening to this back in 2009 broken and sad!! Alone. 7 years later Joined the Military and found a wife. And years later here i am God is powerful, take everything this world has teached you!! about money about anything pop culture anything that preaches sin!!! Bow down to God and he will see you are always takened cared of By his Powerful angels. Im going to give you a hint keep fighting for justice and follow the path of righteousness dont let these savages gangs the television pop tell you how to think or do or live....EVER!!!!! you will be stripped of you crown when you do!
Psalm 34:15-19 King James Version (KJV)
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
@@chesterstevens8870 jokes on you. I dont have a wife. Dont be too sure about yours budd. You might be as well subconsciously mirroring whats currently happening to you. Im pretty sure you have allot of courage and bravery playing call of duty and fortnite. Just because someone decided to serve there country don't mean they are unlucky. 2020 aint over so don't get too cocky. Pretty sure your the same type of guy who buys grunt style shirts and pretend your a badass. Take it like this some serve so ungrateful people like you won't.
Amen brother!! God bless you for ever
These songs give me strength to get through these dark dark days im in. Thank you for the wonderful messages sir!
There is only one room, its your heart. There is only one candle, its your heart.
2009, 202, 2030, 2050 it doesnt matter the year, this song will still be relevant. This is timeless. Peace 2 everyone & bless up !
Never heard of this man, but i like him and i am a Muslim, good human 2 me:)
I'm a existential Nihilist and he ha intrinsic value to me, good human 2 me:)

I'm a 55 yr old white construction worker from the Poconos and absolutely dig this music. I'm not the target demographic but love it just the same. Brilliant!
This song changed my life. It is moving and so brilliant. As well as spiritually meaningful. Thank you ❤️❤️
This song inspires me so much. It has been in my playlist for years. As a dedicated Christian, the connection I feel each time I hear it assures me of the love that the One True God has for all humanity

All these people talking about who Matisyahu is instead of the power music he sings, I don't care for his race because he can't chose it, I don't bother with what he believes in cause he can believe in whatever he wants cause he has that as a human right.. I am here for the beautiful message he brings and you all should too
I listened to this song before I knew he was singing about God. It's neat how that happened because now I am saved qnd living for God. (To the best of my ability) but coming back to this song and hearing it with new ears has blown my mind. Praise Yeshua.
Amen, Praise God 🙏🙌 I'm so happy for you, and seeing this comment has made my day!! God Bless ✝️🙏🕊️🙌
This song gave me a great deal of hope while struggling in the battle with drug addiction. "Trying to stay high , your bound to be low" lol that shot hit home with me .
God bless you on your recovery journey 🙌
Don't know why this song popped into my head. Took all these years to realize how wholesome this song was.
Just introduced my teenager to Matisyahu, happy to carry this blessed music into the next generation.
Frankly, My Dear, I don’t give a damn.
Just be sure he gets the basics like Led Zeppelin, RUSH, Pink Floyd, and Scorpions.
For a well rounded impresario of the 21st Century he will become.
@@thisismagacountry1318 already done my friend, already done :) the kid loves classic rock.
Always will listen to this........ eternally this man is a prophet....
2020! Anyone still listening? 🤘
Every day almost.. just trying to thrive ✌
Good stuff, keep it up ✌️
Have this on my workout mix so I catch it like once every few days
I usually start off my day with this song because it shifts my mentality to something positive. ✌️
Just now heard this again after loving him years and years ago. Connection to his music and message is even stronger and shining brighter than ever ✨💙✨
This song is STILL lit 🔥. Crosses over cultures and faiths. God is good
I pray to my G-d, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.... May Hashem bless you Mat!
jesus is our savior
Phillipians 2:10-11. That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tounge should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to glory of the father.
Thank you Matisyahu for bringing such a great light to our world. God bless you. Stay strong brother! :)
The first time I ever heard the name Matisyahu was earlier this year when he canceled a performance at the House of Blues in Chicago because of violent anti Israeli protests. I went online to find information about him. Who is this guy? I've been listening to his music ever since because it's really good. I'm not a rap or reggae fan so the subtitles behind him in the video are helpful 😊. I'll continue to explore his music 😃.
This song is just as important and strong as it was back then and it brings tears to my eyes listening to it
Same, beautiful song
So true
Stop asking if people are still listening. True followers will forever be listening.
I miss when songs like this were in the charts
Something I thought about recently that blows my mind is that freaking KORN was on TRL at it’s height
You can Thank Joey oKamalakkliEden for that one?
Children of the Korn and all that stuff too
They are, just look for them.
@@bannerba-banner2230 what songs in the charts at the moment sounds like this?
This is still one of the greatest songs ever created. 🙏 STAY BLESSED 🙏
One the greatest tracks.
THANK YOU MATISYAHU. PERFECT MINISTRY FROM A LEVITE. ANYONE WHO MINISTERS TO THE LORD IS CONSIDERED A LEVITE. LISTEN IF IT MINISTERS TO YOUR SPIRIT PEOPLE.
I live 5 mins away from pulse. Listening to this in honor of those affected. #PrayForOrlando
at the time this he did this song he was quite the fundamentalist. he's no longer that radical.
+puhdussyrampage2010 Are you comparing Orthodox Judaism with radical Islam? Wow.
"Radical" doesn't purely refer to Islam, though it's probably not the right descriptor.
Pray all you want. Pulse never happened as they say it did . No doctor would be allowed to wear bloody shoes spreading bio hazard in a hospital for 6 weeks. No victims would ever be carried TOWARDS an active shooting scene like the crisis actors were.
+OMEGAPLEX I was just hospitalized at ORMC. Coming from I-4, we took Kaley, of course. Heart breaks just looking at Pulse. I had one nurse who was working that morning. So many affected, in so many ways. But, we all love our town, and our people.
Esta canción tiene la capacidad de transformar mi estado de ánimo....su letra es una declaración de fe, de que todo va a estar bien, sólo hay que creer.
Todo va a estar bien , si haces cosas para que tu realidad cambie.

Eita .

" As a native of Crown Heights, that was born at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital with a Trinidadian background, swear down fam.. DIS song here, is still and straight 🔥🔥🔥" Talk done.
I am athiest and I love this song. It just sounds good and regardless of my religious views this still has a positive message. Good is good regardless if coming from God or not.
Good only comes from God when good comes from man we end up being ok with other peoples idea of good. Only one Good and that is God
@@Levo42691 did you learn that from a man and his concepts of good? I appreciate both your points though it is the absolutist perspective that seems more likely to be flawed for you are human and imperfect. For example who's God is the source of all right and morality. You would say yours.... tho there are those who also believe in God or a God who would have a different morality, and then also another. There are terrorists who think they are right based on their beliefs but wouldnt u think they are wrong....
I think it is important to understand subjectivity and objectivity etc... it is easy for humans to become bias perhaps through cognitive biases such as confirmation bias etc
@@nunyabiz2117 God put His laws on my hearts and His morals on my conscience. There is only One True Creator. We could debate on that however, that leads to both of us being upset cause neither of us could prove to each other what God is the real God my God operates on Faith and Belief neither of which can be proven. However if we look at there actions and the fruit they produce in life we should beable to see what God has done for them. I personally don't think good is subject I think good has been made into a subjective word so man can think they are doing good even if it is outside of God morals.
@@nunyabiz2117 no one can be the Judge of Good except God because we don't see all the consequences to our own action.
Lyrics 💯 always makes me readjust my life and relationship with God. Reminds me I gotta fight the good fight to earn my crown when I see my Lord 🙏🏼
I never heard of Matisyahu until what happened at Rototom Sunsplash. This was antisemitism as far as I am concerned because he is Jewish. Now Matisyahu has become my favorite artist.
how was it antisemtism?
+Obiwan Youknowme he was uninvited because he was jewish and folks started to pressure him to make a public statement support towards Palestina and not Israel or any kind of jewish state (which is ironic since that was peace festival)
Yet, some dude called Capleton got in and sang about mudering gays and lesbian and wasn't disinvited, due to most folks claiming the ironic and hypocritical statemente Rototom organizers made, he was un-banned, yet; he didn't go there as far as I know.

I could not have said it better than you have.
fdslk1
Thanks, I only just heard of this guy through this video, I was actually curious, not being a dick, just to be clear. That's shit though, I hope he didn't go.
Obiwan Youknowme not a problem. Left winged asshats are usually all about "Israel is evil - Palestine free" yet, no word spoken about Tibet and China from them.
YESHUAH is Adonai & He is a crowned with many crowns. He is Moshiach Ben David. Hallelujah!

King Without A Crown
[Verse 1]
You're all that I have and you're all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you, please
I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there's no me
You're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
I'll stand on my own two feet
Won't be brought down on one knee
Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
HaShem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
HaShem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown Heights burnin' up all through till twilight
Said thank you to my God, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might
[Hook]
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my god, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my god, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now
[Verse 2]
Strippin’ away the layers and reveal your soul
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high, bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
If your cup's already full then its bound to overflow
If you're drowning in the waters and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy, and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found
Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground
Like a King without his Crown
You keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground
Given up your pride and then you heard a sound
Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
See I lift up my eyes where my help come from
And I seen it circling around from the mountain
Thunder!
You feel it in your chest
You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest
You're not vexed
Look to the sky where my help come from
Seen it circling around from the mountain
Thunder!
You feel it in your chest
You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest
You're not vexed

I love you for this song MATISYAHU. But man, it is wild how crazy good you are live. You are AWESOME.
This song changed my life its helped me through some dark times no matter what
What did this song do for you?
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I'll be honest I'm not really the religious type but my goodness I feel some kind of spirit lift/ blessing. Also this song has such a tight reggae feel and so much motivating power to it!!!
I haven’t listened to this in ages. I had the album awhile back but sold it. Today I hopped on Amazon and bought another copy. This time it’s staying! I had the chance to see them in NYC once. I wish I could relive that day! So much fun!

Still as good as I remember it years ago. I never get tired of this song. Awesome! I remember when this first hit the scene.
I love him.. the best video I ever saw of him was in more recent years a man was doing a cover and he had no idea that he was riiight there.. he sang with him and then ended up introducing himself. He’s a great artist.
Still amazing today.
Your music inspires me so much. I love your positivity and even though I'm not religious I can relate to this song incredibly well
I used to love this song as a kid but never understood or even bothered looking up the lyrics. Now as an adult, I went searching for it and I’m so glad I did. God is good ❤ He is with us always even when we can’t see it.
Adoracion con el mas alto, a pleno, antes la escuchaba y sentia un poder en el tema que lo diferenciaba de otros, hoy leo la letra y entiendo todo... obra de arte para el mas alto prueba de que existe, si queda algo de ego dejalo ir, el mas alto te hara encontrarte con tu esencia, con la plenitud total, fuera de toda religion, de toda discriminacion, de toda guerra, somos espiritu, es nuestro mayor valor... ESPIRITU, MENTE Y CUERPO.
Saludos!
