Hi,
Here is a song by Israeli singer/songwriter Yoni Rechter.
It's really nice.. 
It's called "A Happy Prophetic Cosmic Song"
Here are the translated lyrics:
Like a cloud pillar, you will go in front of the herd,
You'll understand everything, know, you won't say one word,
Like a pillar of smoke you'll disappear inside the room,
Something inside you will tell you "continue on your path".
Like the Milky Way that crosses the sky,
You go straight, don't pay attention to the stars,
that shine to blind the eyes,
Something inside you will tell you "continue on your path".
Ho, go straight,
Go alone,
Don't be afraid.
Don't get mad,
Go innocent,
Go One.
Like the wild goose that passes in the evening sky,
he flies in the head of the arrow, and doesn't get deterred from the distance
and instinct shows and creates his way
Something inside you will tell you "continue on your path".
Like Bridgette Bardo that understood the way,
left behind the good and the bad,
and on the going ons she watches from the balcony,
Something inside you will tell you "Stop".
Without intending, let yourself walk,
all the calculations will end by themselves,
Like the tree the comes back to life from Fall,
Something inside you will tell you "continue".
Ho, go straight...
Here is a link to the song (Youtube):

Love,

Just discovered this artist happened to be Swedish...  Enjoy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71zWukE7dn0
I won't breathe you now, I won't let you take me down
To your underworld, to your underworld,
I will follow thee, rising bubbles to the sky
Like a melody, like a melody...
I will never be alone, this could be my other home
Chorus:
I will never be afraid again, hold your breath then count to ten
Stay for silence, stay for when I will never be afraid again
No I'll never be afraid, close your eyes and count to ten
Stay for silence, stay for when I will never be afraid again
It's a sudden change, from the surface to below
It's a different town, but you've got underground
You used to SOS, when you know you gonna drown
Try to stay alive, surrender to survive...
I will never be alone, this could be my other home
Chorus...
Bridge:
Find a light above the sea (oh no) , cross your heart and follow me
Imagine how it all could end, imagine how it all could be

Hi guys
I'm here with another hebrew song, by a Hasidic Jew (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassid) named Shuli Rand. The Hasidim believe that one should worship god not just by reading the Bible and saying written prayers and doing the rituals, but doing it with a full heart, full of feelings, and worship every day with a heart and with the simple actions in life, I think like the Bhakti Yogis, or maybe also as in Karma Yoga.. I think it's very beautiful.
So here is the song, it has words that for me generate Tons of Bhakti and Love for God
It's called: What's the Purpose
Translation:
What's the purpose of this pain
If not to shake my heart
That fell asleep
And for a long time had not skipped a beat
Why did this infamy come
Just to shatter in me the imagining
That I can do it all
It's comfortable to forgive, it's comfortable to pardon
What did this fall want
Just to wake me up again to prayer
To the red sky
That it will change into mercy for me
Mercy
Mercy
Heart of the World, do you hear?
Suddenly I am afraid.
In faith I know, know
That you wouldn't ignore a poor man's prayer
That you wouldn't ignore a poor man's prayer
How nice is this pain
As it reminds me who is the turner
Who starts, conducts and brings
Who all this
Brought on me with Love
Good and beautiful this bend is,
That breaks my body just a little more
This body that is never satisfied
For I have crawled in its honor to the edge
What does this blow want
Just to birth from me a yell
To the red sky
That it will change for me into Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Closed my eyes closed the book
An hour I sat to settle my mind
My pride I have put in the corner of the room
And like this I was going to interpret (?) my conversation
Heart of the World do you hear
What's this, suddenly I am afraid,
In faith I know, know
That you wouldn't ignore a poor man's prayer
That you wouldn't ignore a poor man's prayer
Here is the song for anyone who wants to hear (it's very melodious):

God Bless
Love,
Thanks,
Yonatan |

Hi,
Here is another song from Shuli Rand, about his poet friend who he always fought with about religious matters until the day he died (from their real lives).
It is very beautiful and I recommend to listen to it even if the language is not understood.
The Poet
Translation:
My Sir the poet the whole city is filled with your honor
Remember how we met at the center of the pool
I swam slow you swam fast, a stretched chest fitting for a poet
We stopped to meet we rolled a talk about defiled and pure and allowed and forbidden
It's a pleasure to talk with you, juggler of words
What did I say, when you stopped playing by the rules.
It was my opinion I had no choice,
Suddenly between us an abyss opened up
I pointed at the sky, you dived into the water,
And you said "No", and I said "Yes"
And if I said "There is", you laughed "There isn't".
You sure remember this miserable morning,
We both fell on the same bench,
I finished cigarettes, you peeled a pear, each one of us
In his resentment introverted.
How we again got into the same talk, about if man is allowed and if there is providence,
You are a juggler of words, we weren't matched,
This time it almost ended in a fight..
It was my opinion I had no choice, in your eyes I suddenly saw a strange (foreign) fire,
You grinned to the sky, I didn't give up,
When you said "No", I yelled "Yes",
"Of course there is", you yelled "There isn't".
This night at the hospital
You were wrapped in frightening tubes,
On the edge of the chair I sat silently,
You breathed heavily, we spoke little.
Between us a terror, in the room, shadows, I had feelings, I had no words,
Your eyes fixed on me, big and soft,
We both started to cry.
We both saw the same picture,
Above you, the Divine Presence,
and a horrible fear when you suddenly trembled,
And I prayed "No", you knew "Yes",
Go in peace, you replied Amen.
The moon broke into the hospital,
In a sadness like this I had no tools,
My friend the poet, your memory be blessed,
Rest in peace, you death be whole.
The song:

Peace

Hi Yonatan,
Great//Cool song; I really enjoyed it!! Thanks for posting!
And, yes - Hassidic Jews are essentially yogis; Kabbalists -- they're about the experiential realizations which showcase the truth of a philosophical view which is remarkably similar in symbolism to other non-dual schools.
One of the largest Hassidic (or Chassidic) groups in the world is
Chabad ... which is an acronym for "Chochmah, Binah, Da'at" ... three of the Sefirot (Chakras) on the Tree of Life, within Kabbalah.
Their headquarters is in Crown Heights (yes, *that* Crown; Kether in Kabbalah is analogous to Sahasrara in yoga), Brooklyn, New York.
This song has a lot of kabbalah in it, as well ... I'd be interested to see the Hebrew lyrics as well, if you have them (transliterated as before, if you can, please ) -- I know/recognize just enough Hebrew that it would be useful in seeing if what I think I'm seeing is correct -- no problem if it's not convenient; the song is beautiful!
Heart Is Where ShalAUM Is,

Thank Kirtanman brother!!
Cool info I didn't realize that Kether in the Tree of Life diagram is the sahasrara. I checked it out right now and also noticed that there is a sephira called Yesod- in hebrew that word can mean "base". Maybe that's the root chakra??

The following song summarizes my life...
"The Balance", by The Moody Blues
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlFYWRajMKY
After he had journeyed
And his feet were sore
And he was tired
He came upon an orange grove
And he rested
And he lay in the cool
And while he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it
And it was good
And he felt the earth to his spine
And he asked
And he saw the tree above him
And the stars
And the veins in the leaf
And the light
And the balance
And he saw
Magnificent perfection
Whereon he thought of himself in balance
And he knew he was
Just open your eyes
And realize
The way it's always been
Just open your mind
And you will find
The way it's always been
Just open your heart
And that's a start
And he thought of those he angered
For he was not a violent man
And he thought of those he hurt
For he was not a cruel man
And he thought of those he frightened
For he was not an evil man
And he understood
He understood himself
Upon this
He saw that when he was of anger
Or knew hurt
Or felt fear
It was because he was not understanding
And he learned
Compassion
And with his eye of compassion
He saw his enemies like unto himself
And he learned
Love
And then ... he was answered.
Just open your eyes
And realize
The way it's always been
Just open your mind
And you will find
The way it's always been
Just open your heart
And that's a start |

I was in a deep dip, the lowest giving up mood... put on the radio and of course was captured by mySelf through:
Erik Grönwall - Higher, winner of Idol 2009, Sweden
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-R4e45Wo-8
Hey, I'm a believer, and gravity's letting go of me tonight
mm you came out of nowhere,
when everything was passing by at the speed of light
So hold my hand and never let me go
Take a leap of faith into the unknown
I am flying, my heart is taking over,
the world is flashing by
Higher, higher, higher
I will follow wherever it might take us,
chasing through the sky
Higher, higher, higher
Oh I know it can be scary,
you better know when your heart is on the line
But oh, baby don't worry, just hold my hand and never let me go
I am flying, my heart is taking over,
the world is flashing by
Higher, higher, higher
I will follow wherever it might take us,
chasing through the sky
Higher, higher, higher
Take me higher, I'll hold you as we're shooting through the atmosphere
around us everything disappears
I am flying,
my heart is taking over,
the world is flashing by

Radio message again. This time - when smiling - Almaz showed up:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SDVqScIEdw
She only smiles
He only tells her
that she's the flowers, the wind and spring
In all her splendor sweetly surrendering
The love that innocence brings
**
Almaz, pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her
'Cause life don't haunt her
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing
Now I watch closely
And I watch wholly
I can't imagine love so rare
She's young and tender
But will life bend her
I look around is she everywhere
** repeat
He throws her kisses
She shares his wishes
I'm sure he's keen without a doubt
With love so captive
So solely captive
I ask if I could play the part
** repeat
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing |

I'm afraid a lot will be lost in translation... this is a Swedish song, (Om /If with Niklas Strömstedt) but I'll try my best to make it English:
If
Smiling mirror with shortcomings and faults
seeing that the child has become a man
And the Gods gave me a strange soul
who has difficulties taking opportunities sometimes
But today
we have gotten somewhere
You and me
Take away all words
You know what I mean
Chorus:
If you were an ocean I would be a wave
If you were the sky I would have wings
If you were a rain I would be sea and land
If you were music I would be a song
If you were the open landscape I would be the wind
But I wouldn't be anything if you were not there
Come, come my love, the moon is great
All windows are open tonight
Open to the world where Love lives
Just come, keep me awake tonight
We are left
We are time passing
You and me
We do it again when the morning comes
Chorus
Record version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKzSYEzrx9g

Dear friends,
Here is a song from Israeli singer Rita, really illuminated lyrics. She's one of the really popular singers here in Israel.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAX2ku9ifEs
The song is in Hebrew, and here are hte translated lyrics.
Waiting by Rita
One day it will happen
Without us noticing something will change
Something will relax in us something will touch us
and there wouldn't be what to be afraid about
And it will come like a line on a hand
It will come sure of itself
Like it was always there and waiting that we'll notice it
It will come you will see
The clenched hands will enlong
And the heart that gaurds itself from hurt will beat in a regular rythm
It will come like nature is normal with
being whole with itself
One day it will happen
Without us noticing something will change
Something will relax in us something will touch us
and there wouldn't be what to be afraid about
And it will come like a line on a hand
It will come sure of itself
Like it was always there and waiting that we'll notice it
And it will come you will see
The clenched hands will enlong
And the heart that gaurds itself from hurt will beat in a regular rythm
It will come like nature is normal
You will see
The clenched hands will enlong
And the heart that gaurds itself from hurt will beat in a regular rythm
It will come like nature is normal with
Being whole with itself.
And it will come you surely know
Not all will rock us
not all will hit
And what will open to us
Is waiting
In-joy |

I like that in the clip different people put their face in the "God" picture.
Beautiful, Yonatan; I'd forgotten about this song - it was very popular, back in the 90s!

Hebrew Song.
Berry Saharof, That's How it Is to Love You
Don't look far
Stay Close
Because that's how it is
To love yourself
Not in front of the mirror
Go Inside
Yes that can
Wake you up
Look into her eyes
Bite your lip
Till it pains you, Just a little
Inside you she is waiting
For you to jump into the water
And open your eyes
Till it stings you, just a little
Inside you you will know
Come, come and help
to pour a little light
into this dark hole
Just don't, don't go far
No don't leave
Because that's how it is to love you
Look into her eyes
Bite your lip
Till it pains you, Just a little
Inside you she is waiting
For you to jump into the water
And open your eyes
Till it stings you, just a little
Inside you you will know
