Matisyahu - Watch The Walls Melt Down (Official Lyric Video)

[@chavivahchai3993]

Respect to anyone who has had such a massive spiritual journey so publicly and still come out the other side with music from the soul to share.

[@troywiggins8163]

real instruments, real lyrics, real melodies, MATIS IS BACK!!

[@ProfVoldemort613]

i woudn't say he's completely back but this is definitely better than spark seeker

[@TheThomasAaron]

Here I am 33... 9 yrs ago I remember thinking " Man he is so old!" And now here I am... Same age... What a life... What a life... Shalom to you... Brother and be strong..... Don't lose the will to fight.

[@ethanz3081]

Some of this is my interpretation through analyzing some of Akeda. But to all the doubters and naysayers: Matisyahu has evolved spiritually. He wrote a public letter about it actually. Basically strict Judaism was a tool he used because he didn't know himself and felt he couldn't resist the worldly temptations and stay true on his path to God. He no longer feels that he needs all that to keep on on his path, in fact, it is probably holding him back from growing as a human being now. He has not sold out at all. Akeda is a great CD dripping with spirituality. He is just on a different walk of his path now and his messages aren't exactly the same. If you really analyze Broken Car you'll see how he feels about (I believe) the religious system (a human system) being broken just like human beings are broken and their relationship with God is broken. Perspective guys. He's 35 and has a different perspective now from his life experience. What I love about Matisyahu is he openly puts his spiritual life journey on display for everyone to learn from.

[@truthseeker7137]

100% self. he does him.

[@NBEWA]

These things usually happen when what should be a relationship with God becomes a religion. Unfortunately it is very difficult to resist this world through our strength and our mind. This is why the Messiah had to suffer for us.

Any artist knows that your art cannot stay the same as you change. Matisyahu isn't the same beard having, underground artist anymore. But, he is still Matisyahu. And, his music still has great meaning. His art has just changed since he first came out (like other artists.) Whether you think it changed for the worse or the better, though, is your opinion. Matisyahu is still Matisyahu. Making awesome music, in my opinion. Keep jammin MM Lots of love from the East Coast xx

[@TheNicolas26]

"but I'll always be your chassidic reggae super star". Matisyahu's music evolves, but he is always the same man.

[@melonhead49]

Great point! You said it!

[@DoingUrM0m455]

And that's also a good thing since it's fun to have diverse genre. :)

[@damian337557]

there is no meaning to the lines "Dancing on tables With my hands in the air" or "Smoked more trees then a forest fire till that ish got tired now I let the ish retire gettin higher then a mountain climber lower then a lawn mower chopping down the cypher circle" he has turned into a complete sell out i thought Jerusalem was his right hand yet he does everything to defy it.... from a disappointed fan i am now going to delete all the music i have of his as I've lost all respect for him...

[@kharisisgay]

damian337557 well im pretty sure hes singing about freedom, and also, how he used to smoke weed when he was younger, but he *let the ish retire*; he doesn't smoke anymore... his lyrics make perfect sense to me but maybe its because i actually look into matisyahu i don't only listen to his tunes

[@bollinbol]

no matter what this man puts out you all will mostly hate, but listen to the jams in a couple months again you will love it.

[@MKlein7]

How this is not on the radio nationwide is still a Matis-mystery....

[@BoujieBlack1]

This is Hot!!! I went to Israel 2 yrs ago and that was the first time hearing about this incredible talent. He should be bigger than Macklemore, in my opinion. I'm hoping I can perform with this legend soon! Much continued success bro @Matisyahu

[@ihatekoolaid14]

My dog should be bigger than Macklemore. Straight up poser.

[@cuddles-ii6ns]

He has been around for years. He gave up his Jewish garb and started wearing normal clothes a couple years ago and lost a lot of fans.

[@Reporterreporter770]

Mayor allen for Mayor! Brother

[@BoujieBlack1]

Thanks Reporter!!!

[@BoujieBlack1]

***** I feel u Saad but for some reason, I never heard of him which is based on a lack of promotion to bring him MainStream. I think his form of hip hop is so unconventional and positive that the main stream media does not promote him, as he should be. SHAME!

[@Cmr729]

I am so excited for this album. I hope you come back to KC this year. You were awesome last year at the Crossroads.

[@gratefulearlc8812]

I love it. I hope the rest of the album is this fresh sounding. Respect

[@amandabosschart9745]

I love this video and song..... I'm filling my time with other music at the moment to avoid the pain of wonder and curiosity of what's to come... 2 month count down! Muchlove Matisyahu Can't wait to hear what your message and story is..... May Peace now and always surround you and your family!

[@mattbear5880]

Awesome new track! Can't wait to fly into Denver for your show in 2 weeks!!!!

[@amandabosschart9745]

Ok, why am I not flying into Denver for the 420 show???

[@jacobholmes2418]

I wish I knew how many times matisyahu has gotten me through rough periods of life and great ones as well. Thank you

[@MachidaEra001]

haters gonna hate... but matis will always be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@world.inside.of.you.]

Only God is and will be great. Matis like you call him was great when he was real, now his music sound like stupid commercial break sound, perfect for pepsi background. Shame how low people can fall looking for nothing and lost them self.

[@Msilly52]

you miss the artist, his life, his words, the pain, lost voice, lost connection, but God has him, for he prays for strength most don't have it.

[@claytonporter7030]

I have to agree with Misiek. His music was a lot deeper, now it is shallow. Sadly it is happening to a lot of Godly artist. That is not to say its bad music. I like this song, but I realize that Matis has changed but not exactly the way he should have.

[@josefkovach5530]

YAHUSHA hamashiach

[@jodimichelleschoenherr]

❤️

[@MrHandsomelyHomeless]

I got electric boogaloo-shocktastic chills all over when I had the privilege of hearing this song for the first time & danced so hard during it that the floorboards almost cracked the kitchen ceiling drywall - Woohoo!

[@astronewbownz1703]

Good job Matisyahu. I knew you weren't finished making music, your journey has not yet come to an end. Still much to do for yourself along this next tour of yours. Can't wait to see you back in DC. I knew you still had it in you

[@reddsoniasauruk2872]

We go through seasons and phases in life...What would music be without Matisyahu in it for me??I know he is the "Go to" music when I need to feel lifted....definitely a bless-ed man!

[@gabytal2055]

no man......where all these great songs like King without his crown???? live at stubb..really missing it bro

[@kharisisgay]

His music will change as he changes. We will not stay at that same time period forever.

[@mantykarhu]

Kharis D. Ozzy Osbourne hasn't changed much, and he's practically immortal now. He isn't REALLY the "Prince of Darkness" it's his image. No artist can confuse their stage life and personal life and stay healthy and live.

[@msmith3475]

He's got real meaning. I've not heard anything from him that doesn't leave me close to awe. His words have got such a spiritual depth.

[@rosesox]

Progress folks... This is a wonderful album. I can't stop listening to it. It has touched me deeply. Thank you, Matisyahu.

[@KyraTibor]

Finally the gods are on our side. HE'S BACK!

[@patrwill7]

Thank you Matisyahu, I worship YHWH, through all of your songs. These are not just jams to me, they are love songs I sing too Meshiac.

[@333addidas]

Adaption is key to survival. Transpose and comprises to life. Yahweh & Truth is what it is. Faithful and pentance w/ a pensive mindset. Fundamentals I hold a key. This MUSIC SOOTHES MY SOUL.

[@lovegodandyourneighbor7957]

I saw him perform this live at the Reggae fest in Lakeworth FLA. I was the guy up in the tree watching because I couldn't afford to get in... if your reading this Matisyahu lol.

[@alienbass3225]

A lot of people cannot even comprehend what he's saying.. the message is powerful and this song is magic

[@SolvidFIY]

Glad to see Matisyahu keeping it fresh and not putting out the same stuff album after album. If one can bear through the chorus, this song is awesome. Took a few listens, but it surely grew on me. Also glad to see him having fun.

[@jerrycurlz84]

You're a beauty Matisyahu... @Matisyahu. Keep doing what you're doing. Inspiration

[@myHEADisAtv]

DAMN those trumpets make this song feel so huge!!! Glad ya' back Matti

[@pain0420]

New Matisyahu, YAY!! Can't wait for the RiverRock Festival next month!!

[@UnityConcerts]

My v.w. camper days still brings my boys back to town , Jtown... Matisyahu ben Rachel Malka we all got each other souls in minds and role model style clean and sincere!

[@kccheshire6785]

I love him nobody raises my souls vibrations like him he's so amazing like a latter day prophet and no I'm not talking Mormon I'm talking one of God's true prophets love him

[@gabriellabodis714]

I am so glad to hear more from you.Have a great passover and thanks for great music.

[@slapology3277]

Live at Stubb's 2 still remains my favorite album.

[@christopherwilusz8544]

Matisyahu is on point just being himself...for the people who want him to be somebody else, find love in yourself first!! Go Matisyahu - my man and friend through music

[@godsouljour]

So dope. Can't wait for the album.

[@DiscipleofChrist101]

I listen to Matis whenever I drive, with the windows down, wind in my hair and face on cool summer/fall nights.... thats, in my opinion, ome of the BEST times to listen and mesitate. Selah. These songs help me to feel and ve in the present.

[@raspberrybriars]

I love the, "moonlight shines in your eyes," part! Good song~

[@rfidelix]

Show de bola! Só aguardando o lançamento! Matisyahu é o cara, um exemplo de músico, ideólogo, pai de família... letras realmente tocantes.

[@aliyo5277]

People change ... and so do artist becouse in the end they are people like all of us. And if an artist change he need to deside becouse changing your music may scare your fan off-true artist change and their music too and true fans keep on loving their loved artist ...those who dont change their music as they change or make cheap music or scare of losing their fans.. Love you Matisyahu,this is great to hear music that show a procces long as 5 years ....

[@Theoz198]

Not Matisyahu's best album, but this song is great! This one, confidence and champion are the best!

[@buenosdiassoyluisdiaz]

I love the fact Matisyahu is more reggae on this record (i hope) 'cause feels more from the origins.

[@erikpalacios1498]

oh yeah man! the old Matisyahu comes back with a new amazing album!

[@rafaelyinflow]

old Matisy is back!!!!!!! awesome!

[@ThatCute311Boy]

This song is still so amazing 👏

[@crazybrownfoo1]

Much love all the way from the Philippines!!!

[@Chaimzeitz]

I can relate to him. I was born in crown heights, I came back to the observance when I was 22, now at 28, I'm agnostic but still very spirtual, embracing pantheistic ways.

[@heyho1342]

Been A Long Time Fan. And I've loved everything I've heard from this new album, can't wait for the rest of it!!!!

[@Chaimzeitz]

This album is starting to grow on me. At first I was not feeling it, but I knew like the last album, if I gave it a chance it would rub in. Same with live live at stubbs 2005 album, it sounded good, but it didn't rub in until after a few times. He definitely is my favorite artist.

[@victoriawilke2792]

This is INCREDIBLE

[@drumma04]

People hating on him because his VW is worth more than they make in a year. Musicians change, deal!

[@elaineboleyn]

This song brings tears to my eyes!

[@robertmassucci1]

what a talent. Saw him with galactic at the blue note NYC

[@jkolb12]

Do people really not understand where he is coming from? How can you dislike this?You people aren't even listening to the message.

[@melonhead49]

I must say I a fan from the beginning and I was sucked in by the raw, fresh sound that only Matisyahu could call his own. 10 years later and now we have a product of corporate America with music that sounds like anybody else and no longer raw and fresh. Heck, after 10 years I would probably give in to the money as well. Sad but true...sometimes money is stronger than the heart. It was a good musical ride while it lasted though...we must admit!

[@drumma04]

Ben Harper, same thing, his sound changed and no longer new. They did not invent music but had something new and fresh at one time. Still better than some of the stuff that kids are listening to.

[@formulaone07]

You presume a lot. Maybe he actually wants to try new stuff instead of continuing on the same, well-beaten path? Haven't you ever wanted to do new stuff without being accused of ulterior motives?

[@ibulucas4437]

God Bless you matis, nice sog, stay doing songs like this... we all love you man!

[@Carlitos419]

this sounds much more like youth...much more like what true yahu fans were initially drawn too. I'm not saying its quite as good as youth or shake off the dust or the live at stubs albums but its a hell of a lot closer than spark seeker. Im excited for this album. Even more so I am excited to hear his adaptations of his most recent albums in his next live album (whenever that might be happening) his live stuff is by far his greatest works.

[@TuanOrtsa]

Im going to stick to listening to your older songs, i cant seem follow you down this new path. Either way i hope you all the best on your journey!

[@cantratau]

Wait for his new album to come out first and then decide. Give him one more chance at least. He's going to have many different types of music on this new album and who knows, you might dig some of it. He's even publicly stated that he has new melodies similar to his roots reggae

[@IDK-kv8ob]

Matisyahu = the purest soul on earth.

[@amyvazquez5137]

awesome like always. NOW please come to Austin TX!

[@kiddushhashem4725]

You are the best matisyahu! Keep up the good work

[@hannahmeacham8131]

Beautiful, as always! B"H, I cannot wait for this new album!

[@torchcutter]

I love Matisyahu. You're music is growing with you and that's the way it should be. Keep it up and hope you come to Meadowbrook in NH!! Definitely buying this CD too. Hugz

[@charlenechaney6399]

Eager to hear others from this album.

[@buddha2bass]

He's back! lovin this so much more than the poppy "spark seeker"

[@erpelkoenig1260]

really cool video, really nice music... thanks for this great song.

[@panchocagnotte3711]

Merci Matisyahu, pour ta musique, elle me fait rêve.

[@ROBERTOTHELLO5]

I love that you make the music that YOU love! This is a great track!

[@susanhetrick7231]

Nice. Very Macklemore-ish. Much love and respect!

Moonlight shines in your eyes.....💜✌🏼🔥

If this is what the album is going to be like, I am ESCATIC!

[@gabrielneilbarnert6680]

Can't wait for this album! Great track Matis! Keep more coming!

[@Msilly52]

When will you be in Clearwater, Tampa, or Brandon, my whole family would love to see you live, it's my dream to see the great artist you are....I live in Hope

[@jodimichelleschoenherr]

This ☝🏻 is one of the many reasons I ❤️ you.

[@monstatime]

This is SO good!

[@TREEHUGGAH1]

AWESOME MATISYAHU MUCH RESPECT

[@MataNataM]

This guy went through so much..

[@matisptfan]

There are different tracks on the new album, this is just one of them. I believe the people who are missing a spiritual message will find it on "Reservoir" and on the rest of the album.

[@lmendes4329]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Shalom

[@Baughlin]

Matisyahu & Snoop should be the new super duo!

[@marclfriedman]

Matis you ROCK!

DOPE! MAXIMUM RESPECT FORM BRAZIL!

[@noahhomer1534]

I love it man when are you coming back to Florida

[@KeithOcean]

it's ok to feel that way, to like the old stuff more, but he is a different person from the young matis we fell in love with. we can't expect him to stay the same. i love the music he does no matter what

[@xcursionist4295]

nIcE song !! matisyahu!

[@mojoboat1]

0:42 Gave me goosebumps, good deal.

[@ambergreenwald4451]

I love your music as you know !!!:) however on this album I like a set few....and this is defiantly one of them....LOVE IT!!!:)

[@MMARoots]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Msilly52]

As a daughter of immigrants in the 50th, many Jew in Brooklyn where just like me and my family, some make it out, some never leave the corner, some are not here anymore. I can't even say I know how a Jew child raised in there would feel about a world that all they have done is kill them. The war is real, we see this in Matisyahu the artist. he is different and one of a kind, his music will be around for a long time, even when some of us are gone....

[@urszularutkowska540]

love it!

[@mustafaunlusoy6290]

respect from seven hills

[@DarkSkelatonSoldier]

This is Awesome Dooodes

[@MusicHead480]

awesome song. wish he did more singing like @ 2:49

[@redxross]

The horns are 🔥

[@javster4138]

Yeps

[@T3slaCoil3d]

As artists grow and explore themselves, they need the freedom and support of their fans (new and old) to do so. I don't think you're a sellout, nor do I think you have lost your religion. Like the great masters of the world, you have begun to burn away the chaff and see things in a less crystallized way - just as the late Rabbi Kook predicted as the effect of atheism on the religious of the world.

[@hageer]

wow wonderfull sound sick tune

[@andrewd1923]

Straight Fire

[@feanordidnothingwrong]

Getting back towards what made him great. I don't know what people are talking about this being a "sell out track". I personally don't see much of any potential for this track to sell big time like his reggae stuff did. I like it though. Good stuff. My dream album for him though would be to get in the studio with some Dirty Heads / Rebelution type guys and just throw down over a reggae beat like he used to.
