I’m a card-carrying member of the “Beards are Awesome” association. That man, Matisyahu, has one too, making him awesome by association. But so much more than that is his music. A friend mentioned him a long time ago, but I forgot. Then I saw him on the Jonathan Ross show, but I forgot. It was only today that Matisyahu popped into the sieve that is my brain and lightened my mood, so I thought I’d post it lest it escapes me again.
Taken from his 2009 studio album, Light, here is the beautiful message that is One Day.
And here is an acoustic version of the song where the bearded wonder does some cool beatboxing.
