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

  5. Alice Childress - Ben Folds
  6. Peaceful Alone - Moonraker
  7. Scene 13 - One Wheel Spinning - Philip Glass, Les Enfants Terribles
  8. And Your Bird Can Sing - The Beatles
  9. Snuff That Girl - Urinetown, Original Cast Recording
