Stuck in my head

Matisyahu King Without A Crown Lyrics
"King Without a Crown"

Yes folks, it really is Hasidic Reggae. Check out the web site at: Matisyahu.org.

By the way, the reference to Hashem is a reference to the name of G-d without pronouncing the tetragrammaton YHWH, which is forbidden in Judaism. Most Jews will substitute the word 'Adonai' (My Lord). Hasidic Jews use Ha Shem (the Name). There are also references to the Torah and other Biblical images. "King Without a Crown" is a very dense song, packed with a lot of imagery, and it has a catchy reggae beat that will not go out of my head. :)
