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
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
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
I literally came here to say the exact same thing and just saw this comment. Couldn’t agree more. The sound engineers and the artists pulled off what can only be described as a divine performance. It sounds like a CD quality recording. Insane.
@@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!
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. ❤️
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! 💯
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
Brother, this is my favorite song in the entire world, and I didn’t know its name. I’ve literally been searching for it for 20 years, and today I finally found it after 10 years since the last time I heard it… Is it a sign from God? Thank you so much, Matisyahu.
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.
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 ! ! ! !
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.
Still listening in 2025. This was the only Matisyahu album I listened to for a long time. First heard this song on 95.5 WBRU in RI and it blew my mind. I was an atheist metal head but this particular song's performance's passion was UNDENIABLE as it still is today 🙌🏼
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!
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 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
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.
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.
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 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.
SOMETIMES THE WORLD IS DARK AND YOU JUST CAN’T SEE… I may not literally see Jesus but I SEE JESUS when I surrender all that I am. Without him I am nothing
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
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!"
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.
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😢
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
@@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
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.
Every song I hear from him touches light strings in my soul. Opens my heart and world around me. I experience a divine light and joy that is seldom. ❤️❤️❤️
Sometimes I can't believe this song is real and I have to come back and listen again just to make sure it's real. Special time in music and a special artist with a blessed message. 🙌
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.
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.
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.
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
Esta cancion trajo luz en un momento en el que estaba me sentia muy confundido, pasaron casi 20 años y me sigue dando fuerzas, es increible la energia que transmite.
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.

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.
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.....

That is because it beautifully conveys the spirit of God to his children.

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..
There’s lyrics?
I still can't understand a word he says but its beautiful
The lyrics are a masterpiece, delivered with reggae is the icing on the cake.
I would give him a grammy for this performance... beyond amazing!
Yep, so sad alot of peeps nowadays would rather be listening to other things.
me too
how is that sad. to each there own lmao
Right..but you have no talent, and you recognize no talent. You're just a moron.
Seen him live he is sooo good

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
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 !
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 is always the best version

Just saw him at Stubbs in Austin yesterday. Just brilliant
He's actually spitting heat. What a live performance
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

This man was clearly blessed with an extraordinary talent
SOMETIMES THE WORLD IS DARK AND YOU JUST CAN’T SEE… I may not literally see Jesus but I SEE JESUS when I surrender all that I am. Without him I am nothing

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
Me
@@soulfly4076 lol wtf?
@@soulfly4076 ............................. you sure that lsd wore off?
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
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.
I just to say "Thank u Jesus" for me coming across this song!!! 🙏 I absolutely luv it. I listen to it multiple times a day!!!!
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
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
What a blend of rock, reggae and rap!! Still fresh after all these years.
Kevin from a Jew too
hell yea bro
it's simply reggae not a blend of anything.
Almost 15 years later and it's still the greatest live performance ever.
lol settle down
This IS the best version of this song ever!!!
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.
The energy he brings is truly amazing
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😢
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
I feel like Matisyahu could play the Apollo and get standing ovations, dude has a universal sound and a is a great entertainer
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
One of the best performances I ever saw in my life.
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
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
I played live at Stubbs through out my whole high school years this man changed my life
Let's jam out together
No sé cuántos años han pasado, pero siempre vuelvo a esta canción.
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?
Every song I hear from him touches light strings in my soul. Opens my heart and world around me. I experience a divine light and joy that is seldom. ❤️❤️❤️
❤
This song is so anointed. I remember when he was unknown! Saw him in 2010.
Sometimes I can't believe this song is real and I have to come back and listen again just to make sure it's real. Special time in music and a special artist with a blessed message. 🙌
I’m listening this song since early 00’s and always relives my heart…
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
Let's stop killing each other because of religion. Love you all..
Tell it to Hamas
@@zamszzto hamas and netanyahu
Oh my gosh, the guitar during the chorus is literally magical.
We used to listen to this in college all the time back in 2006 when it was released, and listening to it now, I don’t know why…
Cuz you feel it in your thunder ❤
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?
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.
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.
I listen to this at least once a week for the last 10 years. That guitar solo was absolutely amazing.
Awesome 🤟🏼
Every time my life gets beyond stressed this pops into my feed. Thank You
Yupppp
Same same same.
Love is all we need... tolerance and faith comes with it... life blessings for all of you...
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
15 years later and this still slaps harder than your favorite artist.
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
Esta cancion trajo luz en un momento en el que estaba me sentia muy confundido, pasaron casi 20 años y me sigue dando fuerzas, es increible la energia que transmite.
Para mi es el epítome de su música. Concuerdo a plenitud contigo y es que me llena de energía y buena vibra cada vez.
Es brutal mi amigo
Totalmente, lloro cada vez que la escucho porque llega a mi alma
🤍
Dios y Yeshúa te bendiga amigo
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 is lyrical miracle that people like me rifht now...need so proudly to hear
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?!?!
