Song (and Video!) Spotlight: "G-dcast – Lech Lecha"

Parshat Lech Lecha from g-dcast on Vimeo.

Words and Music by Miriam Brosseau and Alan Jay Sufrin

Avram says I'm beautiful
So much so
He hides me away
But now I'm growing old
And it's time to go
Should I laugh, or should I pray?
This land that will be ours
Where sons are just like stars

We're blindly told to go
To somewhere we don't know
To live without blame
There's a promise made
That will never fade
Revealed in our new names
[breakdown- Abraham, Sarah]
So it's time for us to leave
With souls who now believe

It's not beauty, not royalty that keeps me going
But a Voice that's worth hearing, a path You're showing
It's not just the land that we're walking to
But the journey itself is where we prove ourselves to You

Now it's time for us to leave
and live what we believe

When I was about 6 or 7 years old, inspired by the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," I tried to invent a machine that could bring animated characters to life in the real world. True story.

Nearly two decades later, I've got the next best thing – Stereo Sinai's music is being brought to the world of the animated! An awesome new movement to animate the entire Torah in 54 weekly installments launched just two weeks ago, and has already been getting some pretty amazing press. It's called "G-dcast" (www.g-dcast.com), and Stereo Sinai has created its first (mostly) English-language song for the third weekly installment, "Lech Lecha," which launched earlier today.

For the full awesomeness of the experience, follow this simple 3-step procedure:

1. Visit www.g-dcast.com regularly.
2. Love the videos.
3. Tell all the teens in the world and everyone that you know.

I know you, and believe me; you'll like what you see.

As for Stereo Sinai's first foray into the animated viral video realm, we are really proud of all the work that went into this, both from our end and from the people at G-dcast. You can see the video on our website's new videos page, and then when you've decided that the soundtrack to this video is better than anything John Williams or Danny Elfman could ever have dreamt up, download the song FREE from the music + merch page. Cool, huh? We certainly think so, and we're already working on our next trip to the animated world. Stay tuned…
