That’s a common frustration—full Jewish sheet music is hard to find, especially for artists like Baruch Levine or Waterbury, since much of it isn’t officially published. You might try contacting arrangers, music schools, or the artists directly. In the meantime, Spotify can help a lot with learning by ear and transcribing parts. Hopefully, someone here knows a solid source. Read More
What a great memory! Lyrics from childhood really stick with you. I haven’t been able to find it either—older children’s records from the ’70s can be tricky to track down. You might try asking in vintage music or children’s music communities, or even search Spotify for older kids’ playlists. Hopefully someone recognizes it!
If you’re trying to identify the song about Tehillim with lyrics like “my friend my Tehillim… pages have seen my/many tears,” here’s the best way to track it down:
1. Try a music identification app
Use Shazam, SoundHound, or even Google’s “search a song by lyrics” feature with the fragments you remember — sometimes even imperfect lyrics can trigger a match.2. Search on multiple platforms
Look up variations of the lyrics on:YouTube (“Tehillim song lyrics”)
Streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music)
Lyric sites (Genius, AZLyrics)
Using slightly different versions of the phrases often helps.
3. Ask in dedicated communities
Post your lyrics in groups focused on Jewish music, liturgical songs, or Tehillim music — people in those communities often recognize old or niche tracks instantly.4. Check older albums/compilations
Sometimes songs about Tehillim come from:Jewish children’s music albums
Prayer/meditative music compilations
Community or camp recordings from decades past
Search terms like “Tehillim song” or “Tehillim lyrics song” can help pull these up.
Hopefully one of these methods will lead you to the song’s name and artist so you can share it with your students! 🎶🙏
