He as helped me find my “Light”. Get your Piece of Peace, listen to Matisyahu. I have been through the desert trying to find my way. I need a daily dose of Matis,I have gotten friends hooked. It only took “One Day”. I would like to thank everyone for opening your hearts and minds. Only special people can feel the “Light” Matisyahu brings. Lots of Love
I Know there is someone out there other than me, that has been effected by Matisyahu? Maybe not him directly, but by his music? I ask anyone out in that Great big, small little world, to share how Matisyahu moves you? Maybe you can’t really put the way music effects you into words. Matis has reached many, he is a teacher,and if I have learned anything from my teacher is that “there is room for one more”.
I first started listening to a couple of his songs like king without a crown and youth, but listening to jerusalem really opened up my eyes to my jewish heritage. It showed me how important it is not to forget your heritage and how Remembering your religions past is so important. He’s also showed me there is always room in your heart for hope. I stopped writing music for a little bit, and after listening to him I decided i’d start up again and give my band another shot.
Well, I can say that Matis has truely motivated me. I first began to listen to him because of the great solos and instrumentation in Live at Stubbs. But then I actually began to listen to the lyrics and they have so much meaning. Any day that I feel down, I can just listen to his music and it lifts my spirit. I won’t be able to make it to the concert this summer but hopefully another tour for the new album will be soon. btw, One Day is an awesome song.
Matisyahu has inspired me to be a better person.
He has truly been a “refuge for me” he has been the “light” in my soul.
And for that i give my thanks and prayers to you for life.
You are amazing.
God is so real and the talent and courage that he has bestowed upon Matisyahu is
proof to the world that He (Jehovah) is The Light and that if we allow ourselves
to be used of Him, we too can serve as an instrument of inspiration for the world.
My son is five years old and he’s singing “One Day” in the shower! That is how Matisyahu’s music has so positively affected us. I agree, I also need a daily dose
of Matisyahu. It’s like reading my bible….I need to do that also everyday. I like to stay fed on the Word. Thank you Matisyahu for your dedication and courage
to doing what the Father has called you to do. May others follow suit.
I saw Matisyahu for my 2nd time in Kansas City, MO and there was nothing more moving than hearing “One Day” as the sun began to set…he turned to face the sun and smiled and as I looked around there were so many people of different ages and places in life with tears in their eyes. You are touching many. As a 35 year old mother of 2 beautiful little girls “One Day” is my true wish and always has been…
I would like to say thank you for the “Light”....

Amen brother. I have been listening to Matis for over two years now, and since the first time i listened to him I was hooked. I can sincerely say that when he played Jerusalem on Nov. 8 2008 at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, GA he, with the strength from God, brought me out of the the lowest of lows I have had as a Christian. I believe that this is what God intended when he created music. Praise God. Thank you Matis for the honesty in your music. God Bless.
I saw your concert in KC, MO and feel revitalized after seeing you perform. “One Day” is truly a song that I wish for. As a 35 year old Mother of 2 beautiful daughters, that is all I truly wish for, for them to know how to live with everyone in harmony. I will never forget your performance of “One Day” on a Friday night as the sun set, the smile on your face, and the mix of people in the crowd all coming together to enjoy good music. Thank You!!!
I first started listening around the time I went on birthright. It was really the only Jewish and one of the only positive influences I had, as the rest of the music I listened to was angry and misguided, just a bad energy. I was still confused, as someone earlier put( as well as matis said) “was lost in the desert” and I was numbing my passion with substance and indulgence. This lasted a few years. though this yearn for a connection to my God was always there I was just so caught up in myself. Recently I have began to truly “find” God, really look for my own light and rid myself of the demons of my past. It’s still been a struggle but his music has helped. Music has always been VERY important to me and his is a perfect blend of genre I like and message I need. I see myself in some of his lyrics about the past and it gives me hope for a future. Matisyahu was part of what inspired me to begin to become more observant and continues to be reminder of hope when I feel I’m slipping. I believe that any music, anything that gives you hope is prayer, and so his music is a form of prayer for me.
My journey is no where near complete and I’m still not 100% sure where I’m going but I feel matis was one of the helps pushing me in the right direction and will continue to be.
well i was going through the whole “why is the world filled with evil idea” and i found my self driving in my car late one night and on the radio i hear “One Day” starting to play i have been listening to matis for quite a while so i recognized the style and turned it up and it showed me the “Light” if you will and i realized that we as a people should instead of trying to get the nicest car on the block should move our efforts toward living together in peace and harmony. one love.
Matis & his music have totally opened my eyes to the greatness God has bestowed upon me letting me see the light instead of focusing on all of the negative & darkness that tries to seep in.
I listened to the Stubb’s record whenever my brother was seriously ill in hospital and for 6 months I was hooked on his music.. It was my release, my way of carrying onwards in life, music healed my bad thoughts and helped a lot..
Matis is an inspiration to me and to be honest, whenever I met him, I felt like crying- in a “happy/I’m so glad we’ve crossed paths” way.. Soo glad I got the chance to meet the band.
I live on a college campus so it is hard to find time to just get away and think about God. However I can listen to Matisyahu anywhere and feel like I am alone with God. It helps me relax after a stressful day or it can just bring a smile to my face on a sad day. Whatever mood I’m in I can listen to Matisyahu and enjoy my day better and feel a closer connection to God. I want to thank you Matis for all the hard work your putting into this. You make not know the full extent of your impact but just know your doing something great and keep it up. Many thanks and keep up the amazing work.
yeah I started to listen to him in 06, I was walking through the mall going past and A&F and thinking this store sucks. Then through the glass I saw Matisyahu’s video Youth I was amazed he looked like a cool dude and found the album I’ve been listening to it ever since.
ummm… but the biggest effect Matisyahu had on my life is when I was in Iraq, I must have listen to Youth 300 times. It was like even though there is a world at war and I’m right in the middle I can turn this music on and be somewhere else. It was my form of meditation. There were so many times when I would come back from a hard day of soldiering and be thinking that I’m just about to lose it, I needed to get out of here, my thought would just be going a million miles per hour in every direction. I would turn on Matisyahu and be, ok.
Maybe I’ll be able to meet him one day and thank him.
