there's a negan Kyle Tuareg the words of
course come from tehilim there is
attributed to the Tomas addict which is
fairly well known right yeah I think I
was recording by album freedom one of
the combining gunam albums but there's
another thank you for that that was
beautiful
there is another Kyle Tuareg which is
much lesser known and it is one of the
ten [ __ ] name that was composed by the
Altair ever so that someone had said
they composed the the Kyle tahdig which
is better known to us his grandfather
the Alta Reb of the ballot Tania he
composed a kyotonic and there's actually
a very interesting story behind it
the negan is known to us and it's
actually more of a tune or it's just a
one-liner musically I should very short
yeah
and has funny words to it which we'll
get into in a second how do we know
about it we know about it because the
machiya have small Granum Osterman he
met an elderly man someone who was at
that time old
who had been a youth in Leo Schnur with
the Alta rabbit and there's actually
interesting story about this this older
man when he was a boy was was blind he
became blind and his father brought him
to Liege not to be blessed by the
alternator the Alpharetta opened up as I
heard
safer as I and he asked the boy to start
reading the boy was unable to read but
the out that I've asked him to read and
he started reading but slowly at first
and then the Dalton Abbot told mahalia
read it loud and then the young man was
able to read very clearly and fluently
and his his sight was completely healed
so the father decided he's leaving the
young boy in Lyanna to continue his
studies there and it was revealed that
this young man had a musical gift so in
addition to studying Torah in liege
became part of the Hasidic Choir of a
Sydenham of the alternative and he
overheard the alte Rev is singing this
Kyle Tuareg many times when the alt
rebel was in a deep state of debeikis he
would sing this song from time to time
so this boy at the time heard the song
transmen then became an older man
transmitted it to grow in him the Mafia
and then grind him was the one who is
our source for it so it goes like this
I'll tell you the words the words are
like this kiiled Tariq Allah he came are
you the whole you look tight to face
been a knack oh ok what's the connection
it seems like a complete non sequitur
right because Kyle Tuareg LF you can ma
you knows our words from Psalms from
tehilim and it means like a deer or a
ram its panting thirstily by the
WaterBrook the rest of the verse is so
does my soul yearned for you Oh God
but it doesn't finish the verse it
switches to a totally different verse
which is a verse from homage from bottom
which is also part of Sh'ma Valhalla
Tatum he's been in a flaw it should be
frontlets between your eyes which is
referring to the head fella so seemingly
a non sequitur taking first part of one
verse from tell'em putting it together
with the second part of another verse
from commish and sticking them together
right so Granum explained like this
you're talking about the roots of a show
which is a Kabbalistic term for running
and returning what is the soul want it
wants to leave the body
it wants to expire it wants to fly up
there be close to a shot so that's the
first part
io Tuareg LF you might like the RAM is
panting thirstily by the WaterBrook
that's the soul wants to leave but it
realizes what is a Hemmerle desire I did
a Betania mad Welling place in the lower
realms so the same love that causes the
soul to want to leave the body forces it
to make a u-turn come back to the body
well holy look to it to face spinning
Nakhla to do physical mitzvahs in a body
and put on filling and to bring
godliness into the world
musically you can hear it by the way
because first
here that I know there's the time I
guess the the thirst is the working tie
and then the second part that's the
lowest note comes back coming down and
to come back into a body to do the to do
the mitzvahs right so that's the the
outer Devas chaotic
