Rochel Mivako - Belz

Jew songs often have slow parts and fast parts. They sometimes have slow parts for fast-paced praises or fast parts for slow-moving prayers. And now they have this extremely literal interpretation of Rochel Imeinu's conversation with Hashem. I am not sure if it is a slow or a fast song, but I know that at 6:05, the vocalist should kick it one more half note, but gratingly does not. Enjoy!

Yivorechecha - Avraham Fried

חזקה בתעמולה שאינה חוזרת ריק or something. "It is an established truth that hard work will not return empty-handed." - The Talmud or somewhere

UPDATE: The above was the post ready for posting when the UPLOADING CHALLENGE confirmed herself as comfortably seated. It is only more true today, so I share with all the hes and hers who wondered the same thing this morning or a week ago or will wonder it in 2098 if people still wonder things then:

- Hard work does not end in disappointment
- Hard work is defined by achieving success
- It is a circle such as: OP(PORT)UNITY > proves CAP(ABILITY) > which demands (RESPONS)IBILITY > which can only be COMP(LET)ED once it is DONE. So we don't know until it's H(APP)ENED.

So we know that if we don't do, it won't happen but if we did, we have.

The song posted here has no obvious connection to this thought.

Listening to yesterday's song, I kept hearing an opening tenuah that I couildn't place... It sounded Disney... Aladdin? BomBom called Beauty and the Beast. Just the opening notes of Marvelous Midos (1:10 in the track below) and the opening vocals of BatB (:18) in this track. Sefiras Haomer. Kol Isha. Yenikas Chitzonim. Amen.

THIS time! - MBD

This time there are only ways to win,
Things to find
And no way and nothing to lose

This time there are reasons to believe
Hunches to prove
And no falling over to ignore them

This time there will be what there will be
People, places, philofosies
And not more and not less

You know?
