FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

It’s time once again for the weekly ritual in which Elisson’s Little White Choon-Box pooches forth its Random Assortment of Moozikal Madness. Listen up:

1. Honey Don’t - The Beatles
   
2. Fradde’s Song - The Klezmatics
   
3. Dikiy Muzhchina - Leningrad
   
4. King Without A Crown - Matisyahu
   
   [Chorus:]
   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 G-d all these songs of love and healing
   Want Moshiach now so it’s time we start revealing
   
   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 ’til twilight
   Said, thank you to my G-d, 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]
   
   [Bridge:]
   Me no want no sinsemilla.
   That would only bring me down
   Burn away my brain no way my brain is to compound
   Torah food for my brain let it rain till I drown
   Thunder!
   Let the blessings come down
   
   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 G-d but you can’t deflate your ego
   If you’re already there then there’s nowhere to go
   If your cup’s already full then it’s bound to overflow
   If you’re drowning in the waters and you can't stay afloat
   Ask Hashem for mercy and He’ll throw you a rope
   You’re looking for help from G-d you say he couldn’t be found
   Searching up to the sky and looking 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
   
   [Chorus]
   
   Reelin’ him in
   Where ya been
   Where ya been
   Where ya been for so long
   It’s hard to stay strong been livin’ in galus [exile] for 2000 years strong
   Where ya been for so long
   Been livin’ in this exile for too long
