Listening in 2024, one of the first people I listened to in English. One of the greatest performances I saw, the shear soul that he puts in it gives me goosebumps. ❤️ from Iraq
This song got me through my opioid addiction. It gave me so much hope and motivation. Just after getting clean, I met the love of my life! 17 years later, Im still married to her, and we are blessed with 2 wonderful boys. Thank you
@Jay and @mercurial and anyone else congrats and a huge hug on your sobriety🎉❤❤❤🎇🎆🎇🎉🎊🎈I started listening to Matisyahu back in 06' right before a huge move to ATX and then heard he was coming to Stubbs. Wish I could've gone. Cant believe so many yrs hv passed. God bless yous on your continued sobriety 🙏
@mercurialcharm9188 I'm in the hospital now... 4 days clean . Ready to be discharged and start treatment. I turn 30 in April and I always promised myself I wouldn't get high into my 30s. I kept my promise. But have wanted to die the last couple.days. projectile vomiting and convulsions. Finally coming around . Keeping motivational music near me
@@FromTheRootsToTheCrown yo that’s when you are the strongest. ‘It’s easy to get rich. The hardest part is keeping it”-Dr. Dre I think and I butchered it but it’s not wrong. You made a promise. It matters. You can fuck up but be kind to yourself. I believe in you. Love you stranger. You’ve got this. Prove everyone wrong
It is so liberating to see a Jewish man sing like this, the vibe, the acceptance, everything. It is beautiful, so many years of oppression and then just this.. praise God.
@@sjofas not too, Gaza population is rising and has been on the rise, what genocide? The only ones with gebocidal ideas on this subject are Hamas Sahih Muslim 2922
I still remember walking around Chicago back in 04...maybe 05? and this guy invited me into this small club with the promise of great live music (it was the middle of the week and they were just letting people in free to fill the place). Out on stage walks this Hasidic Jew and I was wondering what I'd gotten into... it's still one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen!
I went to see Badfish 4 years ago in Providence, this band called Shrub opened, it was so awesome we left after they opened. I knew Badfish couldn't deliver anything close. I bought their CD and bounced, lmfao
As a raised Catholic, who is 37 I'm proud to say I've followed and listened to Matisyahu for about 16 years now. The message, the music the light. I will always dance wild to this song. You either feel it or you dont, he doesn't ask for much.
@timothy3686 the live version here actually sounds way better than the official studio version I saw on RUclips. His voice and the instruments pop way more.
and if they're that good in concert imagine how they are on an album to be that good in concert? oh my dear God that's talent! so lucky and grateful I found these guys!
I remember 11 years ago I had turned 18 and just come out of the foster care system. I had no idea what to do next, with no guidance. I was lost and afraid, until I came across this song that pulled me out of that fear and gave me so much hope. I immediately had to go buy the album, which I did. Any way I had it on repeat for months, and somehow I got so motivated, and woke up every morning with strength and hope. Thank bro for helping me through those ruff times!
Same here, this album helped me calm my mind and sleep through years of depression! I love Matisyahu for making it possible during those times, glad he helped you as well! Powerful music for the soul! 💯
I started listening to you when I was 11 years old. Now I'm going to turn 30 and I'm still listening to you. Thank you for everything! Greetings from Uruguay!
One of the most wholesome and Godly moments I've ever witnessed in music... Was Matisyahu performing at the Jewish family Festival in mountain View California, when he was performing his young boy came on stage and embraced his Father, and instead of sending his son away to perform, he held his boy. There's nothing more important to a boy than his fathers love. Will always support Matisyahu after witnessing that moment.
Will forever love Matisyahu. A shame he’s having to cancel some shows due to antisemitic threatening protests surrounding the venues. He’s the most humble and peaceful person out there. Shalom Aleichem my brother. ❤️
He opened for 311 at Riverbend and as soon as he started the wind kicked up like he conjured it. It's an amazing memory that I can never forget. This song was the one I believe. Been obsessed with it here lately. Like a light of hope in these dark times. Thank you for sharing your gifts my brother!
I was introduced to this song when I was 15 years old and it touched my soul. This evening, it just popped in my head for the first time in like 14 years, and I can not believe how much knowledge and love are in these lyrics...I just turned 34, I have loved, lost, and learned a lot. This song is the truth , the words are powerful
What an apsolute ledgend the maturity of this song talking about god and cups full tryna stay high the lofe iv loved iv listen to matusyahu for years and everytime such a master peace im 30 now and have been through addiction still am and needing an out again and just realised I HAVNT Ben turning to god much thank you brother my love would rip a hole in the roof my love I use to have for hee
My dad checked me out of school in 06 to see him play at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta Georgia. Needless to say it was a divine event! God bless matisyahu!
This song reminds me that deep down inside me somewhere is pure love. Though we can never comprehend divinity with our human minds, we all have a hope inside, something that says disregard all the stress, never mind all the anger we feel towards people who piss us off, somewhere inside each of us is that love for something that we cant prove exists. Its the divinity within us, our very nature of unconditional love.
My dad randomly bought the Live from Stubbs CD from Borders Books back in the 2000s. He is Peruvian, but he always loved listening to music from other cultures and was intrigued to hear Jewish Reggae. As we listened in the car, I was immediately hooked. Such a pleasure to randomly come across this video in 2024. Love the guitar solo. Brings back great memories.
Every once in awhile a artist performs so perfectly a song they transcend their own ability and for a moment are shown for what they are, conduits of the divine.
I just saw this man interviewed on the Mayim Bialik podcast telling his life story and went on a search to hear him perform and found this. I knew it was going to be out there - but nothing prepared me for this. He is INCREDIBLE ! ! ! !
And to think that if this wasn't being filmed or recorded and this live performance was lost to the ages. FUCK we're all lucky to hear and see it. What a performance.
I heard this song like 14 years ago, and it's 2022 and I still think it is one of the best live performance I have ever seen, good vibes, good energy!! perfect performance !!
Same . I was 14 when this song came out. It’s 2023 and I’m now 33. This song came up in my feed and it felt like I rediscovered an old scroll. This song his a mid 30s man as it did a teen did back then.
@@ActAccordinglyNowThis song changed my life when I was 14 years old. First concert I ever went to . .Good stuff. Praise God. Thank you Jesus CHRIST THE MESSIAH
"With these demons running around if your trying to stay high, your bound to stay low, you want God but you put into place your ego ...where my help comes from ...thunder, you feel it in your chest, keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest... I look to the sky where my help comes from ... you feel it in your chest..." Its too much - I'm so happy! Yahwe - Jah's in the house!
When I first listened to this song I had just moved alone for the very first time with my 2 cousins to the house of my recently gone grandfather. It totally marked my life. Today, after 20 years, and having a little kid I still listen to this song in times of darkness. Out of night comes day, out of day comes light. My love will rip a hole in the ceiling.
@@letsdeduce it’s okay man I’ll pray for you. You’re literally listing to music that praises GOD. Just like the song says ask Hashem for mercy and he’ll throw you a rope. It’s crazy how you say it’s it’s deluded and no basis in reality… but I bet you believe in history books from your local library or school. The Bible is the biggest history book it’s actually multiple books in one. Just like how you read many history books and scriptures is how the Bible should be approached. Trust me I was there in your shoes until I bent the knee. He’s preaching, so your listing to him preach about GOD in song form.
@@letsdeduce I function just fine and contribute as much as I can to society. I am a veteran with much trauma so I can even say I’ve contributed more than the average member of society. But I’m humbled by your thoughts and I’ll respect them. Keep listing to the word of god and someday you’ll take these lyrics into your heart and soul as it’s meant to be. One thing I will say is don’t jump to conclusions about someone before even hearing why one believes in the one true god. Everyone’s got a storybook take sometime to hear it and you just maybe humbled as well. You want god but can’t deflate your ego
huh??? where??? what other "live" performances did you see in person??? i did 24 years ago on the vans warped tour in panama city with on LSD , you probably saw justin bieber live with your mommy.. shit generation
Me and my wife fell in love with this song and fell in love with each other had are first child with this song playing as he was born now all I have left is this song and the greatest memory’s of my life are attached to it❤️ thank you for the life long memory’s and feelings that are forever attached to this . Don’t drink and type you tube comments I’m an asshole.
I was feeling a bit down so I came here to lift the spirits a little. Such beautiful words and performance. Doesn't matter what religion you are this song is just very inspirational.
Yeah, the studio version is nice, but this right here is human experience on full display. That feels like someone having a psychological breakthrough and a reconciliation with their faith and love of music. This is his unrestrained self on display for all to see and then you can sense the people in the crowd connecting with his authenticity just like we are listening to it like 14 years later. This track is a musical treasure and I'm so glad they recorded it!
It's a man worshiping God with his music. "Sing to my God songs of love and healing" "Thunder! You feel it in your chest! You put my mind at ease and my fears to rest" This man is worshiping. He's having a religious experience as he comes close to the presence of God. Proselytizing, pouring out his faith to the room, hopefully illuminating the hearts of those in the room. "Give myself to you from the essence of my being" "Make room for His love and the fire gone blaze!"
This performance is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. It is simply the realest music you could ever experience without actually being there in person. Wow man. Thank you for that experience. You are greatly appreciated
I'm not Jewish or religious at all, but every time I hear this song gives me goosebumps because I do believe there is a God and this song describes the feeling I get form him.
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 Welcome :)
I am not Jewish but the lyrics are awesome and the passion with which he sings is contagious. And the job done by that eletronic guitarist is tremendous. That solo is majestic. Great song overall. Greetings from Puerto Rico.
@@nicholasbuckmaster2173 , it is not but it is taught from 1st-12th grade. Most millenials and younger generations are fluid in English. Spanish is the first language. And yes, as a Puertorican living in Alabama I struggle with the way people write and speak English over here.
I've been listening to reggae all my life believe me when I say he is better than 98 % off Jamaicans in this video ,but unfortunately for fans he was never able to replicate this performance like he did here again ,such a shame .I feel the night the fans on this night just everything clicked for him
This could never be duplicated or imitated in the slightest bit. There will only ever be one Matisyahu 🙌🏻 was in middle school when this song came out and I didn’t understand the lyrics then and don’t believe in god today but this is an incredible song. Respect and love
I don't believe in god neither, but it's incredible how this song makes me feel, I think I can experience what he experiences with his beliefs. He's so good.
im christian, ive beena big supporter anf love his message aince ive been in highschool like 20 years ago. seen him live i love his music always and for3ver please peace in the mid east and love and prosperity for all😢
I was so blown away the first time I heard this song, and I was blown away even more when I found out that not only was he white, but a Hasidim! Live at Stubbs is on my top 8 all time favorite albums that I can listen to beginning to end on repeat. This show and Depeche Mode at the Rose Bowl in ‘89 are the two I’d go back to see if time travel were possible.
I'm a Catholic from the Pacific, living in Sydney... These past 2 months, for some reason my time has been consumed by learning more about my Jewish ancestors especially Sarah, her escape to the Pacific back in the day...Then I discovered this song by accident.... WOW! 🔥 Thank you very much for these Amazing Lyrics which has spiritually slapped me in the face! God bless you Matisyahu and Awesome Band 🙏
All religion is spiritual as long as it's not hateful. Praise God 🙏. Have faith, be a good person, keep hate out of your heart, and love your fellow man/woman.
The song that feels like it's right out of the Saturday morning Chumash reading. Peace and LoVE to Matis for his everything and for channeling Hashem and keeping our community strong.
4/20/22 still jamming to this exspecially on today. It's my 29th birthday just sending out love to all that need it. Everyone who needs to hear it I love you and believe in you!!
I remember listening to this song on the radio and loving it. I couldn't understand the lyrics at the time and I assumed it was a Jamaican reggae singer, so I spent a lot of time and money buying pirate CDs of Jamaican reggae artists trying to find this song. Years later, in Collage, someone was playing this song, and I had to ask the artist's name. What a surprise! And not much later I went to his concert in Puerto Rico.
When I was exposed to Matisyahu's material, I was really taken into a different plane. The beard, the music, the idea - it was all a new mix for me. I don't know about him but this Matisyahu will forever be in my heart.
Im a Christian, and a rock and blues and miaic lover. But I wasnt a Christian when I first heard this song (10?) years ago. I just thought it was one of the coolest guitar solos I'd ever heard. I somehow got this file shared to itunes i had on my laptop. Didn't have a clue of the words. Now it's one of my all-time favs!
Bless you brothers and sisters, been listening since a young child. these lyrics are still relevant today, “You’re all that I have You’re all I need” Messiah
I first heard this song almost 13 years ago and it BLEW MY MIND! Almost 2023 and I'm still jammin' and sharing this musical nugget of awesomeness with folks. Faith filled lyrical genius! 🎤💓💥
Lost my uncle but really more of a bestfriend/dad. The one song I always heard him jamming too especially this version. I smile and cant help but think of him whenever this song plays on my playlist.

20 years ago 😅. This album released in 2004.

Underrated? How it has 50 mill views
No one is underrating anything. I will do a campaing to stop that recurrent and stupid comment.
G F, you are amazing! Great irony! Bravo!
I've watched this 1000s of times and it never gets old. Classic
its intense energy captured in a moment of time preserved for all eternity.....
Me too bud
That is because it beautifully conveys the spirit of God to his children.
Will forever love Matisyahu. A shame he’s having to cancel some shows due to antisemitic threatening protests surrounding the venues. He’s the most humble and peaceful person out there. Shalom Aleichem my brother. ❤️
this guy jumps on the crowd, no chance he sings anything other than love😎🥰
A Zionaz1 does not deserve respect. Lack of congruence with reggae and with humanity that accepts the g3nocide in Gaza.
Lol, he doesn't even look like this anymore. You'd think he was a regular cali/hawaii surfer guy if youve seen him anytime recently.
This has to be the best concert in the world. The energy, the humbleness, the message, the authenticity.
Really amazing!❤❤❤❤❤
He opened for 311 at Riverbend and as soon as he started the wind kicked up like he conjured it. It's an amazing memory that I can never forget. This song was the one I believe. Been obsessed with it here lately. Like a light of hope in these dark times. Thank you for sharing your gifts my brother!

Hands down, The Fox has some of the best acoustics I've ever heard.
Shit was DOPE AF.

how is that sad. to each there own lmao

k, sure
Wonderfully said

In my opinion, one of the all time great performances from any artist ever. Right up there with the Mona Lisa
Man, as a kid I didn't understand a thing he was saying but I loved the melody. Now as a grown man, these lyrics are absolutely beautiful.
I agree with you, every word is gold
absolutely. just such a powerful song. the pace too, you dont hear that mix so well often
hey that makes no sense if you listen it for ex when you were 15 and this song is from 2004 - insertquickmathhere - oh man! im old..

I still can't understand a word he says but its beautiful
THIS IS THE VERSION THAT EVER MATTERED. A TRACK I WILL LISTEN TO FOREVER AN EVER

The singing and the lyrics are already good, but the musicians in this performance are indescribably perfect.
Your comment is indescribably perfect. Thank you, my friend.
So true. The guitar solo and everything is total fire.
the beginning gives me chills every single time again... what an excellent performance
The whole thing gives me the chills...
the chills give me chills
the chills that give you chills give me chills
the chills that gave you chills from his chills gave me cancer
whooohoooow
This may very well be one of the best live performances in the history of music.
TurboSupra91 it came out of no where
Agreed
Every time I hear it, it's like listening for the first time.... this version especially @Stubbs. Only 17 times today..
Legendary
I just saw this man interviewed on the Mayim Bialik podcast telling his life story and went on a search to hear him perform and found this. I knew it was going to be out there - but nothing prepared me for this. He is INCREDIBLE ! ! ! !
im sorry you just found this
Awesome man
Getting home from school, turning on the radio and listening to this while doing my homework. Life was good
Comment gave me chills man, what a time to be alive. Wish I could go back!
Tsss fr
And to think that if this wasn't being filmed or recorded and this live performance was lost to the ages. FUCK we're all lucky to hear and see it. What a performance.
So much lost to the ages...
I heard this song like 14 years ago, and it's 2022 and I still think it is one of the best live performance I have ever seen, good vibes, good energy!! perfect performance !!
Bless up!
I heard it 18 years ago. 😆 dam Im old. Fuuuuck
Same . I was 14 when this song came out. It’s 2023 and I’m now 33. This song came up in my feed and it felt like I rediscovered an old scroll. This song his a mid 30s man as it did a teen did back then.
@@ActAccordinglyNowThis song changed my life when I was 14 years old. First concert I ever went to . .Good stuff. Praise God. Thank you Jesus CHRIST THE MESSIAH
Same from Mauritius 🇲🇺
"With these demons running around if your trying to stay high, your bound to stay low, you want God but you put into place your ego ...where my help comes from ...thunder, you feel it in your chest, keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest... I look to the sky where my help comes from ... you feel it in your chest..." Its too much - I'm so happy! Yahwe - Jah's in the house!
When I first listened to this song I had just moved alone for the very first time with my 2 cousins to the house of my recently gone grandfather. It totally marked my life. Today, after 20 years, and having a little kid I still listen to this song in times of darkness. Out of night comes day, out of day comes light. My love will rip a hole in the ceiling.
I feel like Matisyahu could play the Apollo and get standing ovations, dude has a universal sound and a is a great entertainer
This song helped me find GOD. It humbled me the lyrics are so powerful. God bless you all
Sorry for your loss of rational thinking.
@@danielwilkins6302 and yet here you are commenting on the song that you just listened to.
@@letsdeduce it’s okay man I’ll pray for you. You’re literally listing to music that praises GOD. Just like the song says ask Hashem for mercy and he’ll throw you a rope. It’s crazy how you say it’s it’s deluded and no basis in reality… but I bet you believe in history books from your local library or school. The Bible is the biggest history book it’s actually multiple books in one. Just like how you read many history books and scriptures is how the Bible should be approached. Trust me I was there in your shoes until I bent the knee. He’s preaching, so your listing to him preach about GOD in song form.
@@letsdeduce I function just fine and contribute as much as I can to society. I am a veteran with much trauma so I can even say I’ve contributed more than the average member of society. But I’m humbled by your thoughts and I’ll respect them. Keep listing to the word of god and someday you’ll take these lyrics into your heart and soul as it’s meant to be. One thing I will say is don’t jump to conclusions about someone before even hearing why one believes in the one true god. Everyone’s got a storybook take sometime to hear it and you just maybe humbled as well. You want god but can’t deflate your ego
What a hateful thing to say... just enjoy the music will ya!@danielwilkins6302
This dude with a beard hat, glasses busting out bars, just amazing, never change who you are!!
I guess no one told you...... :-/
ccsdvs1 im telling you though.... :-/
to late !
Too late...
Everyone changes. Especially if you are enlightened. Have you seen him perform recently?
One of the greatest live performances of all time.
One of the best live performances I've ever seen... Who's still rocking this in 2020?
huh??? where??? what other "live" performances did you see in person??? i did 24 years ago on the vans warped tour in panama city with on LSD , you probably saw justin bieber live with your mommy.. shit generation
@@soulfly4076 calm down lol

@@soulfly4076 lol wtf?
@@soulfly4076 ............................. you sure that lsd wore off?
Me and my wife fell in love with this song and fell in love with each other had are first child with this song playing as he was born now all I have left is this song and the greatest memory’s of my life are attached to it❤️ thank you for the life long memory’s and feelings that are forever attached to this . Don’t drink and type you tube comments I’m an asshole.
Man, I miss this Matisyahu.
I understand that he has changed just like the rest of us change and evolve, I just miss this.
He could've kept that amazing beard.
if he would stay with his style and the espectacular instrumental sound i think would be still best as he is now... he had mystic
We all miss it
The lyrics are a masterpiece, delivered with reggae is the icing on the cake.
Not just the flow but the lyrics are so profound to me. This song has gotten me through some very dark times. God is the GREATEST.
I feel you friend. This song helps, and Anime. The stories sometimes rip my soul apart but it's mended at the same time
Omein !
Yaaaas pray Jah is King of Kings. The mercy of his son, the lamb Jah told Mose we need. Jesus is really a king without a crown !
I was feeling a bit down so I came here to lift the spirits a little. Such beautiful words and performance. Doesn't matter what religion you are this song is just very inspirational.
Maarttiin I feel this song is about believing God will give you strength to get past your obstacles when it seems like their is no hope around.
Ajay Garlapati ejejkkkkrreke3kkk444kekjfxjdjjdnnnznspwpelwlleñeellllll
Im here for the music. My God has no religion.
God bless Matisyahu. This song literally kept me alive.
Watch this life changing videos:
Rabbi Yossef Mizrachi, The Purpose of life
Rabbi Yaron Reuven, Torah Science and Ancient Wisdom
Yeah, the studio version is nice, but this right here is human experience on full display. That feels like someone having a psychological breakthrough and a reconciliation with their faith and love of music. This is his unrestrained self on display for all to see and then you can sense the people in the crowd connecting with his authenticity just like we are listening to it like 14 years later. This track is a musical treasure and I'm so glad they recorded it!
Studio version sucks compared to this GEM
Well f’ing said!
In 2005 I had a spiritual awaken while listening to this album. I just stumbled upon this on You Tube. I hadn’t heard since 2005 So much love devotion
It's a man worshiping God with his music. "Sing to my God songs of love and healing"
"Thunder! You feel it in your chest! You put my mind at ease and my fears to rest"
This man is worshiping. He's having a religious experience as he comes close to the presence of God. Proselytizing, pouring out his faith to the room, hopefully illuminating the hearts of those in the room.
"Give myself to you from the essence of my being"
"Make room for His love and the fire gone blaze!"
The Shake off the Dust album studio version is brilliant and just as powerful.
The youth album one sucked
Truly one of the greatest live performances of all time in the most unsuspecting of venues
This performance is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. It is simply the realest music you could ever experience without actually being there in person. Wow man. Thank you for that experience. You are greatly appreciated
I'm not Jewish or religious at all, but every time I hear this song gives me goosebumps because I do believe there is a God and this song describes the feeling I get form him.
Me too, totally same feeling. Can't help but smile so big and sing along
so very love song
"whats this feeling" my love will rip a hole in the ceiling
If i have children i will show them this exact song because that's what my dad did and i CAN AND WILL TURN THIS INTO A FAMILY TRADITION
Just three guys, having the time of their life... with no idea how they're going to change the lives of so many.
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
Welcome :)
How amazing ❤💞
Thank you for posting the lyrics.

pure magic
Thank you 🙏
He's actually spitting heat. What a live performance
I am not Jewish but the lyrics are awesome and the passion with which he sings is contagious. And the job done by that eletronic guitarist is tremendous. That solo is majestic. Great song overall. Greetings from Puerto Rico.
Creo que no es necesario ser religioso para disfrutar una buena canción. Yo soy atea y amo lo que hace Matishayu 😁
Sin más ni menos es una canción de amor. Y eso es todo lo que importa. B"H!
Is English Puerto Rico's first language? If not, your vocabulary is extraordinary compared to most English speaking people
Raul Alzaga to this day that guitarist is one the most hypnotic to play - amazing live show
@@nicholasbuckmaster2173 , it is not but it is taught from 1st-12th grade. Most millenials and younger generations are fluid in English. Spanish is the first language. And yes, as a Puertorican living in Alabama I struggle with the way people write and speak English over here.
I've been listening to reggae all my life believe me when I say he is better than 98 % off Jamaicans in this video ,but unfortunately for fans he was never able to replicate this performance like he did here again ,such a shame .I feel the night the fans on this night just everything clicked for him
He needs to always do it in this version and style. It’s pure, authentic, and simple. The best portrayal of this song.
@@0oChiLLeDKrOeTeo0 yep
pura vida Costa Rica Playa tamarindo 💯👍
This could never be duplicated or imitated in the slightest bit. There will only ever be one Matisyahu 🙌🏻 was in middle school when this song came out and I didn’t understand the lyrics then and don’t believe in god today but this is an incredible song. Respect and love
I don't believe in god neither, but it's incredible how this song makes me feel, I think I can experience what he experiences with his beliefs. He's so good.
Just curios, do you give thanks for your life?
It’s amazing how much better this live version is than the recorded studio version. I love it so much
It's how I was introduced to him
@@Juan800PimpBot un cu
I never listen to the studio version because of this
@@FineChynnaWine dude same! 🙌
It's not even close. You can feel this version.
The part after the guitar solo is one of the greatest expressions of a spiritual experience I've ever heard. Thank you Matis, absolutely beautiful.
This performance is hands down one of the best I've seen
better than the original. not many can say that :)
si mejor que la original
CHECHO GAMEPLAYS Simon
This IS the best version of this song ever!!!
I am a Christian, who just discovered you; I feel, already a kinship, and pray God's blessings upon you, and yours.
im christian, ive beena big supporter anf love his message aince ive been in highschool like 20 years ago. seen him live i love his music always and for3ver please peace in the mid east and love and prosperity for all😢
One of the best live performances, perfection
This man was clearly blessed with an extraordinary talent
I was there. This performance this song .. Changed my life
I was so blown away the first time I heard this song, and I was blown away even more when I found out that not only was he white, but a Hasidim! Live at Stubbs is on my top 8 all time favorite albums that I can listen to beginning to end on repeat.
This show and Depeche Mode at the Rose Bowl in ‘89 are the two I’d go back to see if time travel were possible.
Jealous. Would have changed my life too if I was there. Know every lyric.
It must have been a sad live before that.
Cheers. Was there next to ya. It was amazing
I'm a Catholic from the Pacific, living in Sydney... These past 2 months, for some reason my time has been consumed by learning more about my Jewish ancestors especially Sarah, her escape to the Pacific back in the day...Then I discovered this song by accident.... WOW! 🔥
Thank you very much for these Amazing Lyrics which has spiritually slapped me in the face!
God bless you Matisyahu and Awesome Band 🙏
I played live at Stubbs through out my whole high school years this man changed my life
Let's jam out together
Oh my gosh, the guitar during the chorus is literally magical.
This is one of the most flawless live performances I have ever seen
You’re right! The song I believe was performed even better live than the studio version. The energy is crazy!!
You know it's good when the radio stations play the live version instead of the track off the album.
I dont think you have to be any/one religion to feel this song. What a masterpiece.
Red Seaford agreed
Absolutely!
All religion is spiritual as long as it's not hateful. Praise God 🙏. Have faith, be a good person, keep hate out of your heart, and love your fellow man/woman.
@187 Macabee most white stoners i know dont like this type of music.
does this very statement logically imply that religion is ONE and that TRUTH is ONE!?
this is always the best version
Cyrus Sitagata tru and he changed so much
I miss the old Matisyahu :'(
ro
For real, I personally think the album version sucks...
a message to the future generations: please do not let this type of music die, many miracles can happen with the power of this immaculate music choice
The song that feels like it's right out of the Saturday morning Chumash reading. Peace and LoVE to Matis for his everything and for channeling Hashem and keeping our community strong.
4/20/22 still jamming to this exspecially on today. It's my 29th birthday just sending out love to all that need it. Everyone who needs to hear it I love you and believe in you!!
Happy 4/20 birthday!
sometimes that's all a person needs, is to know someone GIVES A SHIT, not surprised you smoke. Some of gods greatest warriors are stoners.
My birthday is also 4/20 and I turned 29 this year too! That’s wild haha
@@cotecollins p
I turned 29 on 4/17/2022. Sending the love back, my friend.
I remember listening to this song on the radio and loving it. I couldn't understand the lyrics at the time and I assumed it was a Jamaican reggae singer, so I spent a lot of time and money buying pirate CDs of Jamaican reggae artists trying to find this song.
Years later, in Collage, someone was playing this song, and I had to ask the artist's name. What a surprise! And not much later I went to his concert in Puerto Rico.
Sounds like a win win to me!
I think I spent my first salary buying a ticket for his concert when he was here in Lima for the first time
🤭♥️
I make the hits, not the public.
HE HAD A CONCERT IN PUERTO RICO?!?!
Melaza pura
This is the best version of the song out there.
J. R. H. Agreed. This is the first version I heard and the only version as far as I’m concerned
His new ones are horrible
Yes
As someone who has never been religious, I will still blare this song and belt out every word. It’s hard not to get lost in this song.
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this song man so good
The same :-)
Same. The lyrics are amazing.
This song is healing
When I was exposed to Matisyahu's material, I was really taken into a different plane. The beard, the music, the idea - it was all a new mix for me. I don't know about him but this Matisyahu will forever be in my heart.
Helium Punk Yhea
Golan lavi Right? I mean, when he came with his art & music, it was something.
Helium Punk Yes, I was also astonished with combination like that you would saying that no doubt ✌️
“You’re like water for my soul when it gets thirsty” I felt that
Im a Christian, and a rock and blues and miaic lover. But I wasnt a Christian when I first heard this song (10?) years ago. I just thought it was one of the coolest guitar solos I'd ever heard. I somehow got this file shared to itunes i had on my laptop. Didn't have a clue of the words. Now it's one of my all-time favs!
Bless you brothers and sisters, been listening since a young child. these lyrics are still relevant today, “You’re all that I have You’re all I need” Messiah
Ok..I'm convinced this guy is an angel in disguise
Amen
Saw him live and he brought his family out on stage and they all danced at the last song. Awesome!
He isn't afraid of his imperfection and his humanity.
When time traveling becomes a thing, I want to go back and be in this crowd.
count me in too 🤙
The singularity
Just social distance if you come back...
No doubt my friend
With time travel I would first go to a concert of Bob 😁
My favorite live performance of all-time. There was something "more" going on here. God was in that room that night.
I first heard this song almost 13 years ago and it BLEW MY MIND! Almost 2023 and I'm still jammin' and sharing this musical nugget of awesomeness with folks. Faith filled lyrical genius! 🎤💓💥
The energy he brings is truly amazing
Lost my uncle but really more of a bestfriend/dad. The one song I always heard him jamming too especially this version. I smile and cant help but think of him whenever this song plays on my playlist.
