Return the Princess to the King

Saturday afternoon at home in the neighborhood. I've been out in Seoul almost every weekend for the past many weeks, so it was time to stay home in preparation of a new season. As many of you know, the Home Plus sells whole roasted chickens. I went out and brought one back to the dollhouse. Because I haven't had one of these in such a long time, I was so excited that I cranked up the Matisyahu and danced around the kitchen. Much like one would imagine a post-battle celebration of barbarians, I brought the whole bird to my mouth and tore it apart with my teeth. Then I devoured the wings and the legs and packed a fat sandwich. This day my enemies see their defeat. :o) And I feast upon Home Plus rotisserie chicken.

Who is Matisyahu? He makes music. The genre is Hasidic Reggae. I love it. Go here to hear/download the remix of his song "Warrior." He's also, in my opinion, a modern day prophet to Israel. And if it matters to you, he's on tour with Trey Anastasio from August 4-11. ;o) Go here: http://www.hasidicreggae.com/ and click at the bottom to enter the site. You may have trouble saving the mp3, so here is an easier link for downloading it: http://www.jdubrecords.org/music/1.%20Matisyahu/1.%20Warrior%20%28laswell%20Dub%29.mp3
Here are the lyrics to one of my favourite songs by him:

You're a warrior fighting for your soul
Taken from the world above and brought down the world below

You're the son of his majesty
Remember how it used to be
In the light of day it's easy to see
Now it's nighttime
You had to leave

Separated from the king
Now the water's rushing and you keep trying to swim against the stream
And it seems, like your not moving the many water's gushing you gasp for air
Almost drowning ears ringing, once upon a time we were singing
One day the trees will stand and clap hands
Stream of thought getting caught in the klipa, this place is just a shell, external
Egos swell, that one'll burn ya, we fell a long way down, that eternal frown'll get you
You look vexed it's the dregs, the yetzer hara's lurking
Trying to make you forget we got a job to do
You're a priest and a prince and you can't be moved

Chorus: You're a warrior, Fighting for your soul
Taken from a world above, and brought down to a world below
Re-united, re-united return the princess to the king,
Re-united, re-united, she's been taken for so long
Re-united, re-united and then she'll be filled with joy
Re-united, re-united like the days of her youth

Descended to the pit
What's this feeling can't get rid of it
Soul sick
Can't seem to shake it
When one retires at night weeping, joy will come in the morning
You made my mountain stand strong

Chorus

Like an ancient memory
Remember how it used to be
Close your eyes and breath in
That's the scent of freedom
Ringing across the sea
Land of milk and honey
One day will wake up from this dream and we'll stop sleeping,
Oh, yo, then we'll see clearly
