You transformed my sorrow into dancing. You unraveled my sackcloth and filled me with happiness[.] so that I might sing tribute to You and never stop. HASHEM is my G-d, I will thank You forever. [Psalms 30:12-13]הפכת מספדי למחול לי פתחת שקי ותאזרני שמחה: למען יזמרך כבוד ולא ידם ה' אלקי לעולם אודך: [תהלים ל:יב-יג]א
Exciting news, Thumpers! The latest addition to the Stereo Sinai catalog, "Dance," is ready and rarin' to download. I'm especially psyched about this one cuz it shows off a couple of my favorite nice Jewish boys.
First of all, this is the first tune we've posted where Alan is taking on lead vocals (not bad, eh?). Not to worry, it won't be the last...
Secondly, Stereo Sinai got the awesome opportunity to collaborate with our first guest artist on this tune! He's a crazy talented friend of ours- writer/slam poet/rebel-mensch Matthue Roth. Matthue writes with the kind of startling sincerity that makes you catch your breath and remember you're alive. After you hear the song, you're gonna want more. Be on the lookout for a post on Matthue's latest young adult novel, Losers. Also check out the soundtrack of his previous book (it's about time books came with musical accompaniment), a kung-fu fashionista manifesto called Candy in Action. Alan's tune is called "Candy on the Catwalk."
Alan and I love what Matthue did with "Dance." We think you'll dig it too.
I try to talk to G-d every chance that I get
When I don't know what to pray, I just say where I'm at
Thanks for eating, breathing, teething, or just being my Creator
Thanks for taking me out, and bringing me back home laterPeople always run to You, when they feel depressed
And they tune You right out when they're doing their best
'Cause this world is a mess
I can't stay 'till the end
Then I place my request and it starts to make senseThanks for stuffing in my breath so that I can breathe out
When I'm out and about and I feel real devout
I remember Your rain makes every blade of grass spoutYou gave me basically everything
From my body and my soul
To my questioning
You're the reason that we praise
Your'e the reason that we cry
Raise us up
Let us sleep
And when it's the right time
We dieThat's all there is
That's all there is
That's all there is...(You took my grief
Unmade the mess
Opened up my darkened clothes
And turned them to a sack of happiness)You created this world and everything in it, too
So that means every time I dance, I'm dancing with You

I LOVE it! "Dance," that is. It's wonderful, and I'm probably going to download it because you guys are great.
thank you, chaviva!
and thank YOU, mr. and ms. stereo sinai! this sounds so amazing, it's hard for me to keep reminding myself that it's me. i hope it isn't too vain to say, commenting on my own song, but you have actually made me not sound like a dork.
