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
@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.
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
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
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!
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 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! 💯
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 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.
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.

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 :)
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!"
letra en español: Eres todo lo que tengo y todo lo que necesito rezo cada dia para conocer tu paz quiero estar cerca de ti, si estoy hambriento de ti eres como el agua para mi alma cuando esta sedienta sin ti yo no existiria ,eres el aire que yo respiro digo a veces el mundo esta en tinieblas y apenas ni puedo ver con esos demonios gritando alrededor para llevarme a la negatividad pero yo creo , si yo creo , y dije que yo creo me pondre de pie, no me pondre de rodillas lucharé con todas mis fuerzas y haré que esos demonios desaparezcan que los rayos de Hashem enciendan el fuego yo creo que los rayos de Hashem encenderan el fuego , yo creo fuera de la oscuridad viene la luz desde crepusculos hasta las alturas de la corona a las alturas quema a todos en la penumbra le doy gracias a mi Dios, ahora finalmente tengo razón y lucharé con todo mi corazón , con toda mi alma y con todas mis fuerzas ¿que es este sentimiento? mi amor hará un agujero en el techo entregando todo de mi hacia la esencia de mi ser y le canto a mi dios estas canciones de amor y sanación quiero a Moshiach ahora, es tiempo para empezar a revelarse Quitate la capa y revela tu alma tienes que entregarte y despues quedará completo eres un esclavo de ti mismo y no te has dado cuenta quieres vivir la vida rápido , pero tu cerebro es lento si intentas elevarte estas condenado a quedarte abajo quieres a Dios pero no puedes desinflar tu ego si ya estas ahi , ya no hay donde ir si la copa esta llena esta condenada a derramarse si estas ahogado en el agua y no puedes mantenerte en flote pidele a Dios piedad y el te tirará una cuerda estas buscando ayuda de Dios y dices que no lo encontraste buscando en lo alto del cielo y debajo del cielo Como un Rey sin su corona, si sigues cayendo puedes vivir en realidad pero no pudes deshacerte de tu ceño Intentas alcanzar las alturas y teminas tirado en el suelo renuncias a tu orgullo y escuchas un sonido de la noche llega el dia y del dia la luz anulando al Único que es como la luz del sol en el rayo haciendo espacio para el amor y el resplandor del fuego haciendo espacio para el amor y el resplandor del fuego
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
@@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
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.
Yeah - found Matisyahu 2024 - Outstanding track, Lyrics perfect, Sound elements perfect (must have listended now 20 times) So I bought vinyl as well - thank you Matisyahu
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 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
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 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 ! ! ! !
"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!
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.
first time i saw Matisyahu was at reggae rise up in florida. i was so excited to see him. i teared up when they played this song, and then Hirie came out and joined in with him. one of the best nights of my life.
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 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 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! 🎤💓💥
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.
Mi mejor amigo me hizo escuchar esta canción por primera vez cuando teníamos 16 cada que salíamos la poníamos, serán dos años desde que el murió y acabo de encontrar esta pequeña joya nuevamente donde quieras que estés gracias. hoy tengo 25 años.
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
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
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 🙏
Unfortunately, humanity has a hard time maturing without tragedies. One day we will be different and less selfish. Meanwhile we must live the consequences of our lifestyle.
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.
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. ❤️❤️❤️
A friend of mine showed me this song in 2006. Well, I was listening to the studio version and he told me “ah dude, you’ve got to hear the live version. So much better” and he was right. RIP Ian.
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. 🙌
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

Only in America would you find this clash of awesomeness. A Hasidic Jewish man, with a Hispanic guitarist , singing REGGAE and doing so masterfully
Awesome

Both.

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.

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 🙏
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
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.
letra en español:
Eres todo lo que tengo y
todo lo que necesito
rezo cada dia para conocer tu paz
quiero estar cerca de ti, si estoy hambriento de ti
eres como el agua para mi alma cuando esta sedienta
sin ti yo no existiria ,eres el aire que yo respiro
digo a veces el mundo esta en tinieblas y apenas ni puedo ver
con esos demonios gritando alrededor para llevarme a la negatividad
pero yo creo , si yo creo , y dije que yo creo
me pondre de pie, no me pondre de rodillas
lucharé con todas mis fuerzas y haré que esos demonios desaparezcan
que los rayos de Hashem enciendan el fuego
yo creo que los rayos de Hashem encenderan el fuego , yo creo
fuera de la oscuridad viene la luz
desde crepusculos hasta las alturas
de la corona a las alturas quema a todos en la penumbra
le doy gracias a mi Dios, ahora finalmente tengo razón
y lucharé con todo mi corazón , con toda mi alma y con todas mis fuerzas
¿que es este sentimiento?
mi amor hará un agujero en el techo
entregando todo de mi hacia la esencia de mi ser
y le canto a mi dios estas canciones de amor y sanación
quiero a Moshiach ahora, es tiempo para empezar a revelarse
Quitate la capa y revela tu alma
tienes que entregarte y despues quedará completo
eres un esclavo de ti mismo y no te has dado cuenta
quieres vivir la vida rápido , pero tu cerebro es lento
si intentas elevarte estas condenado a quedarte abajo
quieres a Dios pero no puedes desinflar tu ego
si ya estas ahi , ya no hay donde ir
si la copa esta llena esta condenada a derramarse
si estas ahogado en el agua y no puedes mantenerte en flote
pidele a Dios piedad y el te tirará una cuerda
estas buscando ayuda de Dios y dices que no lo encontraste
buscando en lo alto del cielo y debajo del cielo
Como un Rey sin su corona, si sigues cayendo
puedes vivir en realidad pero no pudes deshacerte de tu ceño
Intentas alcanzar las alturas y teminas tirado en el suelo
renuncias a tu orgullo y escuchas un sonido
de la noche llega el dia y del dia la luz
anulando al Único que es como la luz del sol en el rayo
haciendo espacio para el amor y el resplandor del fuego
haciendo espacio para el amor y el resplandor del fuego
graciasssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Q chingon🖤👁️👍
Jallalla!!!
Que viva la raza latina ❤
Amooo!
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!
Brooo!!!!!!
I caught that same show!
Hands down, The Fox has some of the best acoustics I've ever heard.
Shit was DOPE AF.
Awesome Dad!!!!
I’m blessed, I even took him the next year when matis opened up for 311. God bless Israel 🇮🇱
Likewise, I agree with you completely!!
Respect to you all..!
my brothers and sister..!
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!
everytime i come here to listen to it, it gives me goosebumps! I can imagine your feeling beeing there.
No…he didn’t
My playlists put firts Amber of 311 and then Maty haha lol
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.
This has to be the best concert in the world. The energy, the humbleness, the message, the authenticity.
Really amazing!❤❤❤❤❤
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 🇲🇺
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.
in deed
That was very well put
@Recite-God-Heal-Me-Each-Second uhh, hehh?
I couldnt have said it any better...peace and love to all
And also that you can do black face as long as it's tasteful
The fact that the beginning of the song is the most replayed part of this video says a lot.
It gets to your soul……❤❤❤
@@zac3k33 thanks for bringing me back to it. 🤣
@@rquintus you are welcome!🤗
I’m still jammin in 2022. Long Live Matisyahu
Yes I✊
All day 05 can't forget never
he is not dead...
whew this was really something else. you should check out "human in disguise" ft. Benefit
I respect him more every time I hear this song
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.
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
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
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
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!?
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
Who in 2024 listening this jewel?
Guilty
Never gonna stop
Just stumbled upon this, Jam!!!!!
10/15/2024 listening
Yeah - found Matisyahu 2024 - Outstanding track, Lyrics perfect, Sound elements perfect (must have listended now 20 times) So I bought vinyl as well - thank you Matisyahu
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
you save me in the days of depression friend, thank you for your divine work!
você por aqui
Até tu né bola gato !!!! Muito som esse ai !
and me✌
@Jason Hunt stupid people can not study to think properly
Yes let the good music be food for your soul !
The lyrics are a masterpiece, delivered with reggae is the icing on the cake.
This song is literally pulling me out this deep addiction 🙏🏼 deep words followed by deep thoughts in result I’m running from it
Same bro. 😔 gotta stay strong. 🙏🏼 hope all is well
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
Thankful you found it again, and are well.
Same. 🙏🏼 🎶 🎵
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
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 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
anybody else prefer this over the studio version?
Everyone.
the live @ stubbs ones are always the best. More natural :)
Everyone problaly, the study version is so quick it almost seems speed up
jlewis1091 all day long live from stubbs was an epic album!!!
dude! for real haha its so much better!
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
Almost 15 years later and it's still the greatest live performance ever.
lol settle down
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.
He's actually spitting heat. What a live performance
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
"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!
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 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.
first time i saw Matisyahu was at reggae rise up in florida. i was so excited to see him.
i teared up when they played this song, and then Hirie came out and joined in with him. one of the best nights of my life.
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.
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
One of the greatest live performances of all time.
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😢
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 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.
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
This is the greatest recording of this song in existence. From the raw vocals, to the gritty, imperfect guitar solo, it’s fantastic.
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! 🎤💓💥
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 !
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
This is lyrical miracle that people like me rifht now...need so proudly to hear
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
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 feel like Matisyahu could play the Apollo and get standing ovations, dude has a universal sound and a is a great entertainer
Very few 'fast rapping' mc's can do it live like matis. Such clear diction w/ vibes
Mi mejor amigo me hizo escuchar esta canción por primera vez cuando teníamos 16 cada que salíamos la poníamos, serán dos años desde que el murió y acabo de encontrar esta pequeña joya nuevamente donde quieras que estés gracias. hoy tengo 25 años.
Lamento la muerte de tu amigo bro, te dejó una canción muy significativa. Recuérdalo cada vez que escuches la canción, bendiciones.
Sorry to hear about your friend… this song is his gift to you.
Mi hermano estoy en la misma saludos!!!!!
Arriba compa !!
Me paso lo mismo, es una señal que el siempre está conmigo. Siempre que escucho esta canción.
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 live performances I've ever seen... Who's still rocking this in 2020?

Thank you very much for these Amazing Lyrics which has spiritually slapped me in the face!
God bless you Matisyahu and Awesome Band 🙏
This man was clearly blessed with an extraordinary talent
This song helped me through dark days in 2006. Still listening in 2022
More dark days to come but that’s what the song is here for 🤞🏾☀️
I’m glad you pulled through.
Going through and coming out this dark valley.
“If you’re drowning in the waters and you can’t stay afloat, ask HaShem for mercy and He’ll throw you a rope.”
May God continue to bless you!

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.
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?
One of the best performances I ever saw in my life.
This song is so anointed. I remember when he was unknown! Saw him in 2010.
One of the best live performances, perfection
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. ❤️❤️❤️
❤
