One Day

A ukulele player is covering the song One Day written and performed by Matisyahu (gift of God)  who was at one time an orthodox Jew who incorporated elements of rap, reggae, beatbox and alternative rock. A well known song of his is titled Man Without a Crown. He is adored by his followers. For example, from YouTube comments.
that last part where he was saying " I look to the sky where my help come from " all the hairs on my body raised up and eyes watered.... powerful powerful shit. 
I like that, one line totally got her.

The Ukulele player in Hawaii is unaware that Matisyahu renounced his religion in 2011 and changed his appearance dramatically. He does not know the man singing along is Matisyahu himself and says so, "You look different."

Fans love this. It's all over the place. I think it's funny when the player greets the man singing along and learns it is Matisyahu he says, "Jesus Christ!" It's a flat expletive to a Jew, I imagine. It's funny.



Comments begin: "Something something vertical video.

Answered: "Something something 240p"

"Looks different"

"Less Jewy?"

"Yup." 

It's a catchy tune besides. Looking for the video on YouTube I notice dozens of covers of this song and several with a ukulele. Girls singing it on benches, couples singing it in automobiles, kids in their home studios, groups in parks, men wailing it, choirs singing it, women being emotional with it, hippies adopting it, famous names covering it.
