Madly in Love With the One Above.
Dov returned to making music albums after a fifteen year break with
the release of his amazing 1999 album titled, "Madly in Love With the One
Above."
The album feature's 12 new songs, each one expressing another aspect
of his wild love for his Maker!
The first song, Me Ya'aleh, was written for the great Singer and
composer, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, shortly after Reb Shlomo's death. The
song Gal Einai is a hauntingly beautiful prayer for receiving the secrets
of the Torah.
The song, "I'm a Jew," the title song of the album, is the bursting
exuberant experience of loving Hashem, which inspired the song, "Hakadosh
Barachu Hu we Love You."
This preceded the fad of the popular Israeli bumper stickers,
"Hakodosh Baruch hu, anachnu Ohavim Odcha."
Song # four zachreni Na, is the original version of what has become
one of the most popular songs in Israel and the entire Jewish world. The
words of the strong man and ancient judge, Samson the mighty, titled
"Zachreni Na." To date, the song has been recorded by at least 15 artists
and includes even a 'trance' version. And the song, "My Heart is in
Hebron," was borrowed by a popular collection of songs for the city of
Hebron titled, "Song of Songs of Hebron."
The album is addicting with listeners claiming that when it ends,
all they want to do is hear it again!
With this album, Dov started to also be the arranger of all his
future musical works. The musicians were hand picked, forming the "Zion
Square Band."
This album of 8 Hebrew songs and four English songs, in Dov's
opinion, can not be beat, and his own goal with future albums is to be
able to match the beauty of this work of art! This album is simply 'a
must' for everyone's Jewish Music Collection!
