Matisyahu releases “Elijah’s Song”

Matisyahu just racked up major brownie points in my book by releasing "Elijah's Song" in memory of a young boy who he met that was suffering from cancer.


 Matisyahu said: "I wrote and recorded this song with my friend Elijah just hours before he passed away last December. Proud to be able to share his voice and story while helping his family on their road to recovery. If you like it, you can make a donation and get two versions of the song-including one with him singing."

The song is now available to download.
 
All of the proceeds go to the Elijah Memorial Fund, administered by the Chabad of West Boca (Florida). The download includes two versions of “Elijah’s Song”, including a special version with Elijah and Matisyahu singing together the night before Elijah passed.

 Possibly the first time I've ever heard a tear-jerking reggae song, and it's so worth the tissues. matisyahu_blog_pic_575_03

Nice review. What a nice

Nice review. What a nice way to remember someone special, and I am sure it is a tearjerker.
