This dude doesn’t get enough credit. This song has always been fire.

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

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

Ok I'm gonna say it because some one has to: this is one of the best recorded live performances in history. It was nothing less than perfect.

this guy is not singing, he is preaching! just amazing

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

Just saw Matisyahu live in 2024, in Houston TX. Salam Alaikum, my brother! Peace be with you always, thank you for bringing light to the world! ❤️

2024 and I’m still here ❤

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!

1 of the most underrated live performances ever.

I've watched this 1000s of times and it never gets old. Classic

14 years old still one of the best songs you can throw on, timeless.

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!

you save me in the days of depression friend, thank you for your divine work!

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!

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!

Probably one of the most underrated songs of a generation!

I'm an atheist but good music is good music. Love this song. Always Stubbs version.

This has to be the best concert in the world. The energy, the humbleness, the message, the authenticity.

The singing and the lyrics are already good, but the musicians in this performance are indescribably perfect.

I would give him a grammy for this performance... beyond amazing!

Who else is here on 2020 jamming to this song?

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.

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.

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’m still jammin in 2022. Long Live Matisyahu

This song helped me find GOD. It humbled me the lyrics are so powerful. God bless you 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

THIS IS THE VERSION THAT EVER MATTERED. A TRACK I WILL LISTEN TO FOREVER AN EVER

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.

The lyrics are a masterpiece, delivered with reggae is the icing on the cake.

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.

When time traveling becomes a thing, I want to go back and be in this crowd.

This song helped me through dark days in 2006. Still listening in 2022

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.

It’s amazing how much better this live version is than the recorded studio version. I love it so much

This may very well be one of the best live performances in the history of music.

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 !!

BANGER

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 ! ! ! !

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!

Getting home from school, turning on the radio and listening to this while doing my homework. Life was good

Timeless jam! Nothin beats blaring this with the windows down on a sunny day 😎

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

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.

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

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 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

He's actually spitting heat. What a live performance

I was there. This performance this song .. Changed my life

One of the best songs performed live you'll see on KZfaq.

Jewish brothers Muslim brothers Christian brothers, we are ONE ☝️ god loves us all

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 don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this song man so good

The fact that the beginning of the song is the most replayed part of this video says a lot.

One of the best performances I ever saw in my life.

the beginning gives me chills every single time again... what an excellent performance

anybody else prefer this over the studio version?

This song is literally pulling me out this deep addiction 🙏🏼 deep words followed by deep thoughts in result I’m running from it

Jesus is love and grace. We will get this. This passion is insane. Love you brother❤

I dont think you have to be any/one religion to feel this song. What a masterpiece.

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.

One of the best songs ever. Energy, message, passion and heart. Can't get any better!

This is still one of my favorite albums of all time. Passion, respect, musical talent.

Man, I miss this Matisyahu. I understand that he has changed just like the rest of us change and evolve, I just miss this.

Nobody is recording. Everybody is living the moment, the great old days 😎❤

Almost 15 years later and it's still the greatest live performance ever.

I’ve listened to this live album so many times, just so much faith and power in his words and in his performance

One of the best live performances I've ever seen... Who's still rocking this in 2020?

God bless Matisyahu. This song literally kept me alive.

arguably the greatest live performance of any song ever

Let's stop killing each other because of religion. Love you all..

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.

In quarantine jammin' to this great song!!! 2020

the raw energy of this performance never ceases to amaze and move me!

I could listen to his beautiful music all day!!!!!!!

What a blend of rock, reggae and rap!! Still fresh after all these years.

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! 🎤💓💥

Light in a dark world, thank you!

2024 and rediscovered this song ✨️✨️

One of the greatest live performances of all time.

I really miss this Matusyahu ...

This is the greatest recording of this song in existence. From the raw vocals, to the gritty, imperfect guitar solo, it’s fantastic.

Ending 2023 with this. Music is the soundtrack of your life. Choose wisely!

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.

"If you're trying to stay high, You're bound to stay low"

I was at this very show for my 25th birthday it was epic!!!!! to say the least....

So beautiful. Praise be to God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. This is the Day the Lord hath made, and I shall be glad in it.

This performance is hands down one of the best I've seen

If you’re trying to stay high you’re bound to stay low…. That hit deep

Just saw him at Stubbs in Austin yesterday. Just brilliant

2023 and im still listening to this on repeat. much love my dude

This is better than studio quality.

I feel like Matisyahu could play the Apollo and get standing ovations, dude has a universal sound and a is a great entertainer

He repetido esta cancion o video como mil veces no puedo parar.... que chimba de cancion saludos desde Colombia !!!

This song could not be more important in any time than now. He is literally telling you the way to salvation the proper way that is.

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.

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

Matisyahu - King Without A Crown 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?

Dar play nessa música foi a melhor coisa que eu fiz na minha vida em 26 anos e ela tem me ajudado a seguir em frente por mais dias. Obrigada por tanto!
