Matthew Miller was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania 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.

Review about Matisyahu awesome song | Reviewer: nathalia
------ About the song King Without A Crown performed by Matisyahu
seriously you people that are cursing in your posts really need to stop. whether your religion is Jewish catholic or protestant, we all believe in the same holy righteous God. why would a God that is GOOD be ok with you saying BAD words? a righteous God be ok with you cursing?? makes no sense. so seriously, if you truly believe in this magnificent God start living for him and stop being hypocrites.
This song is awesome!!<33

Ridiculous | Reviewer: Danny Collins
------ About the song Youth performed by Matisyahu
It's ridiculous to call this song sexist. He's writing music trying to send out a message, and you're taking it all wrong. It's not sexist at all. I can't believe that you'd take something with a positive message and smear it's meaning. Sit and listen to the song, it's not saying at all that women aren't equal.
That's just ridiculous.

I was so fortunate enough to see Matisyahu live. and let me tell you he is already amazing, but him live was beyond awesome. I am also catholic and i think its so cool that as he sings and i sing, we are both praising the same God. This song speaks to all. and is by far
my favorite song. ah amazing. haha.

------ About the song King Without A Crown performed by Matisyahu
-let me just say as a catholic, i don't see jewish people as "the enemy"...that is so far from the truth. we are all God's children, and we do have a lot of the same basic beliefs, because christian and islam faiths grew out of the jewish faith...and there are a LOT of religions that are further away from our beliefs than the jewish religion... but i do agree that this song is a beautiful spiritual song that makes you feel good, and there aren't many songs out there like it. Matisyahu is amazing, and i love him! I really want to see him live!

This song is absolutely amazing. No Mike I dont this song at all tries to make people jewish. Hashem is the same as god, it just talks so much about jewish things because matisyahu is hasidic jew.
when i'm depressed i listed to this song and it picks me up and gives me hope. so many bad people in the mainstream, so it's great to hear something positive. negative is easy to sell.

THIS SONG IS, i dont know...words cant explain, let me just say that it gave me so much respect and acceptance to the jewish community and im catholic so judaism was almost the complete opposite or depicted as the enemy but this song changed all my beliefs and i have sooo much more respect for jewish people and their beliefs....i get goose bumps when he is singing in jewish in the end....
i still remain catholic though

Young man misunderstanding... | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Youth performed by Matisyahu
Why, people always have to critize and judge. Matisyahu, is doing something great in the history of the music. Having catchi beats with a positive message, Something not everyone is able to do. Why? when someone wants to do something positive people still try to shoot you down. Instead of critizing you should congratulate him for spreading the message of Love instead of Hate.

i love this song | Reviewer: mike
------ About the song King Without A Crown performed by Matisyahu
this song made me jewish the lines "Ask Hashem for mercy, and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found
Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground" i think this song is to persuade people to be jewish, your looking for god, but he couldnt be found meaning, only hashem can help you=] oh well i fucking love this song.
chorus | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Chop 'Em Down performed by Matisyahu
this song is a masterpiece.
unfortunately the lyrics for the chorus are always writen incorrectly.
the 3rd line in the main chorus should be:
"with this wilderness, listen, I'm not missing where it's at"
The song is suggesting the cutting down of trees, something that a man such a matisyahu (at least as he appears to be to me) would not advocate. so when he talks about the cutting down of forests, he is saying "listen" this is a metaphorical chopping down of trees, not a literal one.

Young man and woman | Reviewer: Akimoto
------ About the song Youth performed by Matisyahu
The term 'young man' is, like 'man kind', a generical term for the youth of both sexes addressed in the song.
Furthermore, the term is present only in the chorus. This can be read as a reference to BOTH sexes, unless you want to label the singer and the song as sexist and say that it refers to only men.
Hopefully this helps clear things up. Cheers!
