Everyone Must Answer: Your Favorite Song

ALEPH, BAIS, VAIS, ALEPH, BAIS, VAIS, GIMMEL, DALET, HEY, GIMMEL, DALET, HEY…(Not sure what the title is) That was my son`s submission. He sings it all day so it must be his favorite. You should try it sometime.

?? ?????? ?????? – Journeys

I refuse to answer.

What gives you the right to demand that I “must” answer?

The Wolf

WolfishMusings +2

but, hey, all fun & games, right?

i was waiting to see who’d attack the use of ‘must’ first 🙂

yichusdik – More than their kol d’momo dako? :-p

Personally I’m a classical-music man myself so strictly speaking I’d choose a favourite piece of music rather than a favourite song per se. But I won’t tell what it is, so nyer.

WIY: And get the band name wrong.

K’dai, Yaakov Shweky, cry no more

WOW! What’s with the hostility here? That’s a lack of perfection!

Another favorite song of mine is cry no more, by Shwekey

crisisoftheweek:

“kanoim that consider everyone not up to their standards a goy.”

Ah, good ‘ol disparing anybody and and everybody frummer than you (and before they even said anything, too).

My favorite song is bishitas hakofrim ain anu maaminim, by R’ Amram Blau.

I’m cool because I listen to music that 99.99% of the world doesn’t listen to. I don’t use iTunes because there is nothing I like on iTunes!

I’m doing it because I want to, and not because you told me to. 🙂

I have way too many favorite songs to list. Right now it’s Yaleh by Shwekey, Yesh Tikva (although i’m rapidly getting tired of it), and Bernstein’s Candide Overture, which has kind of grown on me lately.

In light of the latest news from Eretz Yisrael: ??? ??? ???? ????

I dunno, maybe their posts were censured or somethin…

Oh my, the mods are getting tough. The worst they’ve ever done to me is censor.

Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega

Why?

Avraham Fried – Ki Hirbeisa.

The words match the tune and its very inspiring

Any type of song you could sing at a kumzitz. All other Jewish music has to much pizzazz in it, but songs sung at a kumzitz make you feel inherently spiritual when you sing them.

@Vogue,

You dont feel inherently spiritual during the first 3 or 4 songs at a wedding? Those high energy numbers with the power chords and the blaring horn lines? I always laugh though during the start of the second dance set when I start singing a song in my head about a traveler from Australia.

Most songs you would sing at a Kumzitz are written in a minor key. That’s a songwritting trick to “tug at the heartstrings”

We associate minor chords and minor key melodies with sad/somber/emotional moments and feelings. So you could write a song with the happiest most joyful pasuk in the Torah and put it in a minor key and it would sound at home at a kumzits.

I am to busy shopping for clothes to notice, I usually go with shir ha lev, and the free songs from mostly music.

Symphony #8. Shostakovich.

Dark, like this world.

crisis:I’ll definitely check lucero out, thanks

oomis, those two are probably one my list aswell.

The responses on this thread prove my point that Jewish Music has officially died.

No point me mentioning my favorite song, noone will know it.

How sad….
