Known for blending traditional Jewish themes with Reggae, rock and hip hop sounds, Matisyahu is most recognizable for being an orthodox Jew and writing a number of songs based on his faith and beliefs. Since 2004, he has released four studio albums as well as one live album, two remix CDs and one DVD featuring a live concert, and a number of interviews. Through his short career, Matisyahu has teamed up with some of the biggest names in reggae production including Bill Laswell and duo Sly & Robbie. The Tel Aviv'n Songfacts states several tracks of his fourth studio album, Spark Seeker, were recorded in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Since his debut, Matisyahu has received positive reviews from both rock and reggae outlets. Most recently, he was named Top Reggae Artist of 2006 by Billboard as well as being named a spokesperson for Kenneth Cole.
Matthew Miller was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA on June 30th 1979, corresponding to the Jewish date of the 5th of Tamuz 5740. Shortly after his birth, the Miller family moved to Berkeley, CA and eventually settled in White Plains, NY. Growing up, Matisyahu's parents sent him to Hebrew School a couple of times a week, but like many kids, he resisted the additional school hours and was frequently threatened with expulsion for disrupting the lessons.
By the age of 14, Matthew Miller slid comfortably into the laid-back lifestyle of a teenage hippie. Having fallen in with the "Dead-Head" crowd, he grew dreadlocks and wore his Birkenstocks all winter long. He played his bongos in the lunchroom and learned how to beat-box in the back of class. By 11th grade, despite his carefree days, Matisyahu couldn't ignore the void in his life. After nearly burning down his chemistry class, he knew his mission must begin immediately. He decided to set off on a camping trip in Colorado. Away from his suburban life in White Plains, Matisyahu had the opportunity to take an introspective look at himself and contemplate his environment. It was there in the awe-inspiring landscape of the Rocky Mountains, that Matisyahu had an eye-opening realization: there is a God.
After Colorado, his spiritual curiosity piqued and Matisyahu took his first trip to Israel. There, for the first time in his life, he felt a connection to the God he discovered in Colorado. Israel was a major turning point. Matisyahu relished the time he spent there, praying, exploring, and dancing in Jerusalem. In every nook he encountered, his dormant Jewish identity stirred into consciousness.
Leaving Israel proved to be a difficult transition. Once back in White Plains, Matisyahu didn't know how to maintain his new connection with Judaism. Feeling dejected, he fatefully dropped out of high school and began following Phish on a national tour. On the road, Matisyahu thought seriously about his life, his music, and his thirst for Judaism.
After a few months, burnt out and broke, he returned home. By this time his parents insisted that Matisyahu go and "straighten" himself out at a wilderness school in Bend, Oregon. The school encouraged artistic pursuits and Matisyahu took advantage of this time to delve further into his music. He studied up on reggae and hip-hop. He attended a weekly open-mic where he rapped, sang, beat-boxed, and did almost anything he could to stay creatively charged. It was then that he started to develop the unique reggae-hip hop sound for which he would one day become known.
After 2 years in the "sticks," the 19-year old Matisyahu returned to New York a changed man. He moved to the city to attend The New School where he continued honing his musical craft, and also dabbled in the theater. During this time, he happened on the Carlebach Shul, a synagogue on the Upper West Side, well known for its hippie-friendly vibe and exuberant singing. This encounter further fueled his soul-fire, turning him on to the mystical power of song in Hasidic Judaism. Now, instead of beat boxing in the back of the classroom, he was leaving the classroom to pray on the school's roof. (Religious or not, this guy ain't made for the classrooms.)
While studying at New School, Matisyahu wrote a play entitled "Echad" (One). The play was about a boy who meets a Hasidic rabbi in Washington Square Park and through him becomes religious. Shortly after the play's performance, Matisyahu's life strangely imitated his art. Indeed, years after the initial sparks were lit, Matisyahu met a Lubavitcher rabbi in the park, spurring his transformation from Matthew to Matisyahu.
A person who was once skeptical of authority and rules, Matisyahu began to explore and eventually fully take on the Lubavitch Hasidic lifestyle. He thrived on the discipline and structure of Judaism, making every attempt to abide by Jewish Law. The Chabad-Lubavitch philosophy proved to be a powerful guide for Matisyahu. It surrounded him with the spiritual dialogue and intellectual challenge he had been seeking for the past decade. The turmoil and frustration of his search subsided, and now, 2 years later, Matisyahu lives in Crown Heights, splitting his time between the stage and his yeshiva.
Drawing from the sounds of Bob Marley, Shlomo Carlebach, Buju Banton, and Sizzla, yet remaining wholly original, Matisyahu's performance is an uplifting, powerful experience for all in his presence. Even the most pessimistic in his audience is inspired by his ability to so honestly convey such a delicate topic as faith/spirituality. It is his dedication to his belief and openness to others that compels one to respect his artistry and message. It's in that fleeting moment when our skepticism melts and our souls open up, that Matisyahu enters with his booming sound of faith.

Wird die Liebe regieren
Wir haben nichts mehr zu verlieren
Die Zeit lässt die Wunden heilen
Du bist genau wie ich und nicht allein
Ich bin nah bei dir
Gemeinsam schaffen wir Großes hier
Das Spiel der Spiele steht bereit
Ruthless, they want my heart tonight
I’m a run these lines ‘til my insides shine
And I find some peace of mind yeah
Ruthless, they want my heart tonight
I’m a run these lines ‘til my insides shine
And I find some peace of mind
Komm wir bring' die Welt zum Leuchten
Egal woher du kommst
Zu Hause ist da wo deine Freunde sind (Feel my mighty blow)
Hier ist die Liebe umsonst
Feel my mighty blow, let these clouds lay low
As I land with my feet on the ground and go go go
My destiny I need to know
Chasing dreams which way will the wind blow?
Watching days but I can’t let go
Just want to watch your kingdom grow
No one thing as I run up rainbows
My pain grows, only the insane know
How to dance on the moon as the wolf cry moans
In the middle of the darkness I found my zone
You, my love, are never alone
Even when you’re so very far away from home
Sag mir, wie lange wir noch hier stehen
Bis wir endlich so weit sind, dass wir uns in die Augen sehen
Zeig mir, dass es anders geht
Lass uns zusammen singen bis uns die Welt zu Füßen liegt
Komm wir bring' die Welt zum Leuchten
Egal woher du kommst
Zu Hause ist da wo deine Freunde sind (Feel my mighty blow)
Hier ist die Liebe umsonst
Ich weiß genau, dass alles besser werden kann
Wenn ich ganz fest dran glauben, dann schaff ich es irgendwann
All of my life I've been running from the knife
Under the gun I know oh I got this life
Komm wir bring' die Welt zum Leuchten
Egal woher du kommst
Zu Hause ist da wo deine Freunde sind (Feel my mighty blow)
Hier ist die Liebe umsonst
Zu Hause ist da wo deine Freunde sind
Zu Hause ist da wo deine Freunde sind

du hast noch ganz viele Fehler im englischen Text:
Ruthless, they want my heart tonight
Imma run these lines ‘til my insides shine
And I find some peace of mind
[beide Hooks sind gleich, "rudeless" ist kein Wort]
