@jfoley715 Nobody is born catholic but many people born into catholic religiousity become acclaimed atheist for understandable reasons. We can all get onong but we all need to understand that Jesus is the only wway we are going to get along for eternity. Atheism is not the Way Jesus is. Creation Seminars i recomend to you. God bless you. PLUR :-)
@dustinator4u2000 What you are doing is pushing your beliefs instead of just accepting that other people don't share your opinion. I don't respect that.
my cousin that died a few months back absolutely loved this song. it became his slogan, "I will be light." Matisyahu found out about how much my cousin loved him and my aunt gave them a ton of bracelets in remembrance of my cousin.
I'm a Christian first and last, and i love all people regardless of their belief. Coexist, i'm sure thats what God would want us to have. Down with the hate, more with the Love
how come the jewish dont believe the jesus is their savior. just curious. besides that this song is one of the most beautifull songs ive ever heard. i love it
Every single song has a theological discussion in the comments. Why don't we just chill out and enjoy the music. Try it. Its like getting high off sound. MATISYAHU!!!!!!
People need to realize that in order to live in peace we have to accept one another for who we are....Everybody needs to love everybody so matter what someones beliefs are....all prejudice and racism originates from religion. I hope God doesnt give up on humanity just quite yet theres still a chance with a great help to this peace spreading music that matis makes so clear to all of us

I dont think this video is just for religous purposes. When he is talking about "burning away the darkness" he is referring to just living your life. Be it towards god or anything else. It can be taken many different ways. Mainly, I think the message is just dont waiste your life, live it to the fullest.
@Amon213 it's good that even though you are atheist, you do not reject all ideas that are supported by the religious, that is mature of you(not regarding ur age,but ur character)
some may choose to view the world as harsh and cruel, others will view it as good and full of love. neither is 100% right, the choice is up to us to choose wich path we want for the world. let your own personal light shine onto others and you will change the world.

I have a deep appriciation for this song and king without a crown. I know what this song means but can someone explain in detail what it means to them? i wanna see if we have the same message
I'm an atheist and even I find this song uplifting. It is interesting how any faith or lack thereof can stand behind the simple idea of being light. What do all of our differences matter if we can touch one anothers lives?
There are good people like you that keep people like me and other people to keep believing in god, thank you and your changing the world by saying this. thanks
the original hebrews were middle eastern. abraham came from the area of modern day iraq and syria. after the romans exiled the jews from judea some have spread to europe and became white
and some remained in the middle east and still are brown. like me
HAHA DIS GOES OUT TO EVERYBODY THAT HATTIN ON ANOTHER CULTURE, RELIGION OR JUS HATTIN CAUSE YOU GOT NOTHIN ELSE TO DO.. " GO SMOKE ANOTHER BLUNT AND IF YOU NEVER SMOKE A BLUNT OR NEVER SMOKED BUD IN YOUR LIFE I WILL BE HAPPY TO SMOKE YOU OUT!!" HAHA LIKE THE LEGEND HIMSELF BOB MARLEY SAID.. Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.
So true man, so true. Alcohol is getting people to stab each other everyday. In my country is fucking crysis. =\ Almost all violence is based on alcohol here. Herb is really nice... I even feel diffrent. And im not high right now XD
My sincerest apologies to anyone who may read this and take from it that I am a stuffy, religious bigot. I assure I am not. I am a man, fully capable of fucking up, as has been proven in the past and most likely will repeat in the future. Thank you for your time and consideration. Good night. Oyasumi nasai.
Zionism is Apartheid. Israel is a terror state of cowards using weapons of mass destruction such a depleted uranium against unarmed women and children. Matisyahu stop use Afro / Caribbean culture to spread ya Zionist message and stop tek HIM inna yu bloodclaat mouth luciferian. Think we can not hear ya blootclaat zionist propaganda through reggae and hip hop beats... Yu can fool some people sometimes...
couldnt get my crying baby to sleep.....until i put this on, worked instantly!! this is pure and true music, and it has a special place in my heart. love you Matisyahu!!!
Seriously...This song is from God. A couple of hours before I heard it I'd just accepted God's call on my life to be a priest. And then he just kept whispering to me " Shine...Shine." I'm tearing up now. Who do you love...Besides you?
@BrutusBlackest Seriously, did God come down to dedicate some of His holy precious time to whispering in your ear?
You pray on sundays mostly, and now even leading your local church or whatever. Have you ever thought of God Himself, having to answer stupid prayers all day? There's more important biz to take care of, I'd say. Mostly on Sundays too: His day off!
Stop the BS and start an attempt to follow logics, evidence, reason and proof.
Was it absolutely necessary for you to drop that vitriol? Do you know me? Do you know how I think? Have you walked with me? Why does it matter to you how I view my relationship with God? You say stop the BS, and I whole-heartedly agree. If you don't believe, that's fine. I'm not trying to convert you, but you must understand, that in you campaign to discredit belief in God, you are no different than a radical Evangelical.
Ahww.. was I mean? Cause I see you are now degraded to throwing emotional arguments at me. I don't give a sht how you get along with your buddy up high, I'm just saying prove to me it makes sense what you're doing. Mail me for the whole story, IF you wanna learn beyond your religious BULLSHIT. First of all, the word we use for God comes from the Hebrew word Elohim, which means GODS (plural!). Moreover, there's not even a singular form of that word. Now tell me if you can defend your great God.
Now that you are properly adjusted on your high horse, take a look at my channel, that should help your foot find it's way directly into your mouth. I never said anything,anything at all about Christianity. You new age types ALWAYS assume when someone says God, they're talking about American Christianity. Calm down, nobody is going to try and convert you, oh most rational of the Adam Kadmon. Geez. Go drink some tea and smoke one. (oh and by they way, it's impossible for you to "disprove" God.
Also, just to help you out, Elohim is actually derived from the hebrew root word El which means The God, hence you have terms such as El-Shaddai, El-Olam, El-Elyon, etc. I take it from your attempt at intellectualism, you are familiar with Kabbalah, as such, you'd understand that in hebrew mysticism, Elohim is indeed making a reference to plurality, but not pluralism. There is a difference, subtle, but nonetheless a difference. Feel free to rant away.
If, and only IF, you dare to ask QUESTIONS about what you've been taking for granted, you could look at George Carlin, and what he has to say about religion. Penn and Teller's BULLSHIT episode is also a good one. Just try it out. If you haven't, then you're just lazily sticking to the delusion you've been fed all your life and not worth talking to anymore. Example 2: Easter = Ishtar. Christus = Shiva. Jah = Jahweh. It's not only words. All religion has the same source. MISUNDERSTOOD SCIENCE.
Oh and one last thing, I was wrong when I compared you to a radical evangelical. You're not even on that level yet. You have not the humility to quietly withstand vicious assaults on your faith, because you have none. You are a foolish pseudo-intellectual with a chip on his shoulder.
im not religious, but my brother is. he just got out of hospital after having major surgery on a gun shot wound to his torso, hes in the army, without his belief in god he wouldnt have survived that wound, he managed to crawl back to saftey whilst severly bleeding from his shoulder. dont call god bullshit, you dont believe in god, thats your oppinion leave it that way.
First of all: The fact that he crawled back to safety is his own act, he could also have lain there and waited for his God to show up. How can God be something you believe in, when you can't even prove it's existence to me? Honestly, try to prove it. I can prove you wrong anyway.
So first of all your brother and our dear Brutus believe in something they don't see and has never done anything we can prove.
Second.. ya when you believe, you can do it! Watch What the Bleep do we Know.
@BrutusBlackest A priest or a rabbi? I am not in the least religious however I listened to this song the day my daughter was born and I cried like a little girl with a skinned knee. The wife was still in Hosp. and I had to drive home after being awake over 50 hours and this song happened to be in the cd player. This will always be my daughters song. Awesome.
@darkwolf599 Matisyahu didn't give his life to god, that's absurd. God gave his life to Matisyahu.....Matisyahu is a prophet! who found a way to present god's message through music with religious devotion and an outlet to the youth.
@BrutusBlackest1:51-2:20=<3..that part made me tear up too:) so pure. I agree in that these lines are heaven sent. Congrats on ur big decision! I dont know who you are, but I'm proud of you, that's a huge commitment :D Also, I wanted to say that I admire the fact that ur listening to God *everywhere* (i dont know if you heard God or God through the song, but either way I encourage you to keep listening!!).
there are many ways to be a slave, even though most are not seen as so in today's society. If you spend too much time at work, for instance, you are a slave to your job.
this song is one big chaos! Lirycs are briliant, music, well not as good as text but good. One thing is terrible... I cant feel this song ;/ the melody doesn't makes me feel sth...
Rub it in!! I just realized that I missed them in Omaha together this last week. And, at the best small venue around!! If anyone has any video of them together live, please post.
Let's agree to something. Matthew's music is right on time. It's beautiful and causing us to think a bit more....we might be closer to family than anyone wan'ts to talk about.
this song is exactly how i feel everyone should be. all the darkness in the world is ruining the planet and slowly destroying the human race. . remember "YOU'VE GOT ONE TINY MOMENT IN TIME FOR LIFE TO SHINE AND BURN AWAY THE DARKNESS" peace is its own reward!
in the end time always goes on, but wouldnt you want to be remembered by all or bye not just family and friends, but all the people you meet along the journy???
Thanks for that simple truth..As we get older,meaning me, we wonder what life is about and what the world be like without you? Answer, We will be gone, God will still be here. The only thing that will be eternal, is what we do for Him. Thanks focus back. :<)
Jah boi mantis i lov ya bad dan i be smokin my herb pull up a chair an blast dis song ... relax an have a good time and loose all your problems... just peace ... dis song is d hardest hard jahhhh!
the man id like to meet but i dont think id have the chance to meet Matisyahu,,, i admire the poetry and his love and passion for his belief and man he's awesome
Love love love

Oh and one last thing, I was wrong when I compared you to a radical evangelical. You're not even on that level yet. You have not the humility to quietly withstand vicious assaults on your faith, because you have none. You are a foolish pseudo-intellectual with a chip on his shoulder.

im not religious, but my brother is. he just got out of hospital after having major surgery on a gun shot wound to his torso, hes in the army, without his belief in god he wouldnt have survived that wound, he managed to crawl back to saftey whilst severly bleeding from his shoulder. dont call god bullshit, you dont believe in god, thats your oppinion leave it that way.

First of all: The fact that he crawled back to safety is his own act, he could also have lain there and waited for his God to show up. How can God be something you believe in, when you can't even prove it's existence to me? Honestly, try to prove it. I can prove you wrong anyway.
So first of all your brother and our dear Brutus believe in something they don't see and has never done anything we can prove.
Second.. ya when you believe, you can do it! Watch What the Bleep do we Know.

@BrutusBlackest A priest or a rabbi? I am not in the least religious however I listened to this song the day my daughter was born and I cried like a little girl with a skinned knee. The wife was still in Hosp. and I had to drive home after being awake over 50 hours and this song happened to be in the cd player. This will always be my daughters song. Awesome.

Definitely a priest. But I'm not religious either, if that makes any sense.

Well, I what I mean is I don't know how to categorize God. I just learn as much as I can, and when its called for, try to share what I've learned.

@darkwolf599 Matisyahu didn't give his life to god, that's absurd. God gave his life to Matisyahu.....Matisyahu is a prophet! who found a way to present god's message through music with religious devotion and an outlet to the youth.

there are many ways to be a slave, even though most are not seen as so in today's society. If you spend too much time at work, for instance, you are a slave to your job.
