The staff and fans of Shir Shel Yom thank YA for editing and color-correcting the 1981 Megama concert that is now available on YouTube. This represents the best Jewish music renaissance ever. Says I.
If anyone has the track "Jewish Child," please share!
Can you provide some lyrics from "Jewish Child?" Not sure which song that is...
ReplyDeleteCuz you're curious or cuz you may have the track? :)
ReplyDeleteJewish child, Jewish child,
You're out there on the streets, you're running wild,
The sunlight on the ocean's got your eye,
There's no strings attached to you,
You can do whatever you want TOOOOOOO!
Every day your people pray
at the Western Wall,
And they don't even know your name, your name at all,
And they pray to Gd you're gonna find your way back home,
To the Five Books of Moses, the Five Books of Moses...
'וכו.
Do we even know what a musical genius was lost to the world with this man's crack-up?
Do we remember or realize how many Jewish people have cried listening to My Zeidy?
In a way I am happy for him that he fell off the scene before he Lipafied or Shwekefied or came onboard for one Event or another. Though Lipa made a REALLY cute YouTube ad for The Event (Yiddish and English.)
Moshe Yess, Megama, the sounds of Kol Salonika... hey remember them? Anyone digging up Jewish vinyls can go for that one too. Which reminds me: Goldshtein, I need my CD back!!!
