2024 anyone still listening ? 👏👏

2020! Anyone still listening? 🤘

It is 2023 already and I am still listening to this song from the 2000s era, I had it on my Ipod back then, I was a teenager, now I'm in my early 30s.

I used to love this song as a kid but never understood or even bothered looking up the lyrics. Now as an adult, I went searching for it and I’m so glad I did. God is good ❤ He is with us always even when we can’t see it.

I am a Muslim and listening to his lyrics actually brings me closer to my God (Allah). This song is just beautiful once your soul just connects to the instruments and lyrics and the message it conveys. Give yourself up to God. He has said, "If you have 10 problems, make one of them that you are praising me properly and I will handle the other 9." Isn't this a thing of beauty.

I am a Christian and I love this magnificent song! Beautiful Musical Genius

I was 14 when this song came out in in 2004. It’s May 2023 now and I’m now 33. This song still hits me hard being in my mid 30s as it did when I was a teen.

2024 enyone still listening my favourite songs from Israel I’m Ethiopian🇪🇹🇪🇹 jewish shoutout to you matisyahu 🫡🔥

This song just randomly popped in my head and idk why. Haven't heard it in over a decade. Glad it did 😁

I'm atheist but I listen to this song to feel positivity. I respect how he is worshipping his god without shame and it brings me some kind of peace. And reggae music is great in general.

I remember when MTV played this constantly and I just loved it. I’ve never been particularly religious but I’ve always appreciated religious and spiritual music, and this goes so hard.

My dad sang heavy metal when he was younger and died at 30. For the few months before he passed he would play this every day. Took me almost 30 years and I'm barley starting to understand what it meant.

Existence without god is death. Like a king without his crown.

All of these people commenting about Gaza, Palestine, anti-semitisim, anti israel but thats not what this song or any of his songs are trying to achieve.... we already dont have enough time in this world to fill it with thoughts of hate. Try to listen to his music and just enjoy yourself and succumb to the emotions that his music presents... and most of all just be happy :)

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 You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest You're not vexed

I listen to this song almost every day. It gives my soul peace.

I am not religious at all but I love this song. It is so comforting and hopeful.

This song saved me in my dark times. Shalohm

The first time I ever heard the name Matisyahu was earlier this year when he canceled a performance at the House of Blues in Chicago because of violent anti Israeli protests. I went online to find information about him. Who is this guy? I've been listening to his music ever since because it's really good. I'm not a rap or reggae fan so the subtitles behind him in the video are helpful 😊. I'll continue to explore his music 😃.

King Without A Crown [Verse 1] You're all that I have and you're all that I need Each and every day I pray to get to know you, please I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty Without you there's no me You're the air that I breathe Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe I'll stand on my own two feet Won't be brought down on one knee Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee HaShem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe HaShem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights Crown Heights burnin' up all through till twilight Said thank you to my God, now I finally got it right And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might [Hook] What's this feeling?

You feel it in your chest You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest You're not vexed Produced by Bill Laswell Written by Josh Werner & Matisyahu album YOUTH (2006)

i am a Christian, and this song is beautiful. Thank you for this encouragement.

MTV use to play this jam every morning. I watch it before heading to school. The song just came to my head today.

Here from México. I was a kid when this came out, and hell, it still gives me the chills just like back in the days. Just like people say: a really good song never gets too old.

I remember all the hype behind him when this song came out. Feels good to rediscover it especially when you're going through hard times

Still bumpin this

I just saw him live a few weeks ago, honestly the highlight of my year. I got so emotional when he played this song

THE MAN JUST WANTES TO SPREAD LOVE IN the time of rap when it started to change into materialism and sad boi stuff. What a fucking legend

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?

Masterpiece. This is how the process of reaching rock bottom and then comes to an awakening. The process isn't not easy it requires the removal of ego, a good guide, and more work in one self.and when you get there through getting to know th source, then there is still challenges but you have discovered the Truth of life, and learned have to navigate it and overcome, and spread the knowledge to others. We are one. Let's please start acting as one would you? No more division, no more hatred, no more hurting others and no more hurting yourself by sabotaging your beautiful promising life. 🌿 Love you all.

Back in 06 had a job I hated that lasted 14 months.Played this song every damn day(on a videotape)after finishing work just to make me feel better.Thank you Matisyahu.

Jewish reggae is my thing. Always loved his flow and vibe. He hypes me up still in 2021. Gonna definitely represent in 2022 and beyond. Good music is good music.

" As a native of Crown Heights, that was born at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital with a Trinidadian background, swear down fam.. DIS song here, is still and straight 🔥🔥🔥" Talk done.

This song came out when I was 18-19ish. I'm 34 now, my 6 year old loves and listens to this entire album. Thank you. ❤

Man I remember seeing the preview of this on MTV during the commercials right before the Andy Milanokis show or before Viva La Bam back in the day when all we had to worry about was homework and girls. Such good times...I wish I could go back.

" I look to the sky where my help come from", I just broke down crying. Thank you God. Thank you so much for carrying me through the dark.

Enjoy the music people. He is a great artist with great lyrics. This has nothing to do with race or beliefs. Enjoy the music people.

THANK YOU MATISYAHU. PERFECT MINISTRY FROM A LEVITE. ANYONE WHO MINISTERS TO THE LORD IS CONSIDERED A LEVITE. LISTEN IF IT MINISTERS TO YOUR SPIRIT PEOPLE.

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 I Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights Crown Heights burnin' up all through till twilight Said, thank you to my God, now I finally got it right And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might [Chorus:] What's this feeling?

I miss when songs like this were in the charts

Who remembers this coming on mtv morning jams?

I don't care what anyone says. This is when he was at his very best. This song is one of the most meaningful songs in all of reggae. Bring this back.

This song is the closest I've been to being religious. Bless you, Matisyahu.

This song is just as important and strong as it was back then and it brings tears to my eyes listening to it

I wish he would make songs like this again... And he looks awesome with a beard.

Conscious Raps is what we needs during these times✊🏽 Songs of Love & Healing✌🏾❤

The world needs this type of music to come back... true hearts and truth no matter what...

Shabbat Shalom to everyone everywhere.

I'm Christian But I Love Matisyahu's Music! It's So Uplifting!

This song is STILL lit 🔥. Crosses over cultures and faiths. God is good

I was recently diagnosed with ptsd and I started listening to you in 2004 this song brights me up at it 2022

"If you're trying to stay high, you're bound to stay low" I really felt that one, the only thing you can control is your expectations.

I GIVE THANKS TO THE MOST HIGH AND SEND POSITIVE VIBES TO ALL THAT READ THIS IN THESE STRANGE TIMES BE STRONG BROTHERS AND SISTERS BLESS (FREEDOM IS ESSENTIAL)

Matisyahu... I know life had once stripped you of the appearance of who you are, and it seems you've once been stricken with a self-doubt... But, I want to thank you for making this music!! Youth has genuinely been an inspirational piece throughout my life, starting in my early adolescence! I hope my kids will find it for themselves, too, someday. It reminded me of what my heart already knew, but forgot in those suicidal moments of my youth... And yours is still one of the **only** Reggae-style music that I actually _LIKE_ listening to!!!

AMEN my brother you gave me hope LOVE

I live 5 mins away from pulse. Listening to this in honor of those affected. #PrayForOrlando

I use to love this song with all my heart. Years came and go and my soul brought me here again? I love good music. This song 🔥.

This song inspires me so much. It has been in my playlist for years. As a dedicated Christian, the connection I feel each time I hear it assures me of the love that the One True God has for all humanity

From a Muslim happy Hanukkah.

One the greatest tracks.

The strip the layers of your soul and reveal your ego line kills me, it's fantastic.

Just saw a video of him where he was talking about being protested. Ive been thinking about this song for a few days now. Finally here. Crazy that it's been 20 years! I was 14 when this came out.

This song gave me a great deal of hope while struggling in the battle with drug addiction. "Trying to stay high , your bound to be low" lol that shot hit home with me .

I'm in no way a religious person, but these guys are amazing musicians no matter what background you are from. relax and enjoy good music :)

This song changed my life. It is moving and so brilliant. As well as spiritually meaningful. Thank you ❤️❤️

This song needs to be taught in schools I Love this song so much. One of the most dope artists Ive ever heard..

Giving thanks to The Most High and his Son 🙏

We have a huge Hasidic population here at the Jersey shore in Lakewood, New Jersey i don't always see eye to eye with them but try to respect them. I've always loved this song and just learned today that Matisyahu is Matthew in Hebrew. I've been loving this song for years and my name is Matthew I never knew that. Crazy. This song is a banger 🔥

2024 anyone?

Aún en el 2024 sigo oyendo este estilo que jamás pasará de moda matisyahu un sonido adictivo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

All these people talking about who Matisyahu is instead of the power music he sings, I don't care for his race because he can't chose it, I don't bother with what he believes in cause he can believe in whatever he wants cause he has that as a human right.. I am here for the beautiful message he brings and you all should too

2009, 202, 2030, 2050 it doesnt matter the year, this song will still be relevant. This is timeless. Peace 2 everyone & bless up !

I was heartbroken over some girl and after listening to this my heart is baCK MORE THAN INTACT! May YAHWEH bless you Matisyahu!

Can’t believe I get to see him live tonight for the first time ever soooo stoked !

I never heard of Matisyahu until what happened at Rototom Sunsplash. This was antisemitism as far as I am concerned because he is Jewish. Now Matisyahu has become my favorite artist.

How easy and how great it would be just to surrender and give my life to God. But He's not there never was. If you worked hard and rise above you misfortune, thank yourself. Not God.

Even as a man of science dig this song so many genres and that last hook is incredible

I listened to this song before I knew he was singing about God. It's neat how that happened because now I am saved qnd living for God. (To the best of my ability) but coming back to this song and hearing it with new ears has blown my mind. Praise Yeshua.

First hearing about Matisyahu: "haha what Jewish reggae? That's crazy" Actually listens to Matisyahu: "WHAT'S THIS FEELING MY LOVE WILL RIP A HOLE IN THE CEILING"

I’m a catholic but I’ve always vehemently believe we can draw strength from others. I once participated in Ramadan. My Muslim friend explained to me that Ramadan isn’t supposed to be about repentance but actually feeling the immense love you have for your God and those around you. I found that to be really beautiful. Also I follow the tribal culture how everything in the natural world has purpose and soul and everything is connected to each other. Just as this song who is sung by a Hasidic Jew and this is so beautiful and spiritual you can’t help but wonder how everything is all connected with each other. We may look and act differently but really we’re from the same family the same circle. We’re all connected to one another.

Trust in HaShem ❤

I listen to this song almost daily.. Helps me feel at peace and remember to take things one day at a time and give every thing to God... Thank you for making amazing music from the heart Matisyahu

I pray to my G-d, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.... May Hashem bless you Mat!

These songs give me strength to get through these dark dark days im in. Thank you for the wonderful messages sir!

This song was a hit back in Gaza after morning prayer, ahh the nostalgia 🔥🕺🏽☪️

This song will always bring me back to God's foundation.

Don't know why this song popped into my head. Took all these years to realize how wholesome this song was.

we are always here bro, for 13 year and maybe more.!

You feel it in your chest ❤

I love you dad, get well soon. Los Angeles, CA

This song changed my life its helped me through some dark times no matter what

This was the “song of the year” in my high-school yearbook in 2006

This is still one of the greatest songs ever created. 🙏 STAY BLESSED 🙏

Never heard of this man, but i like him and i am a Muslim, good human 2 me:)

Even after all these years, the power of this song still resonates in me. Shalom ❤

I'm black and from Atlanta I'm from the hood for some reason it just pop up and I love Its in my playlist

JC threw this song on my radio when I was down and depressed - picked me way up... and helped me find my (new) path. he knew music moves me and gets me thru life - mysterious ways indeed...

Esta canción tiene la capacidad de transformar mi estado de ánimo....su letra es una declaración de fe, de que todo va a estar bien, sólo hay que creer.

I'm a 55 yr old white construction worker from the Poconos and absolutely dig this music. I'm not the target demographic but love it just the same. Brilliant!

Lyrics 💯 always makes me readjust my life and relationship with God. Reminds me I gotta fight the good fight to earn my crown when I see my Lord 🙏🏼

Always will listen to this........ eternally this man is a prophet....
