Fallen Angels of Mumbai/An Unfamiliar Light

The music in this video is called Fallen Angels by Moshe Benasher, a painful but beautiful song about the murders of those killed by Islamic terrorists in Mumbai, India, including Rabbi Gavriel Hotlzberg and his wife Rivka.

The couple's two year old son Moshe was rescued by his nanny.

The grief and pain that occurs from terrorism is so outside the realm of normal human experiences that it would be next to impossible to interpret the music and grief of the person singing it, yet the lyrics and piano convey the magnitude of tragedy and grief.

Accordingly, the images in this video are very sparse. I used the sepia tone to convey sadness and candles to reflect the sadness of the Hasidim in particular.

Towards the end, blue candles to reflect sadness coupled with a desire to never forget and a prayer for moshiach to come now; a renewal of hope in the coming of moshiach and in Techiyat HaMetim (sp), the resuscitation of the dead.

If by chance the wonderful Hasidic singer Yacov Young see this, I hope and pray that it will comfort him, knowing that he will see his cousins one day. May Hashem comfort all those who are mourning.

Six candle images representing grief and the single, final one representing moshiach.

No copyright infringement indeed. The composer offered it for free use on Chabad.org.

Your brother is very talented. My heart broke for him when I heard this song on Chabad. It's as though he poured his entire soul into this song.
