Channukah Day 5: Yerachmiel, Optimystical & “Days of Light”

December 08th, 2007 | Category: Jewish Music

In my Channukah Day 3 post, I mentioned that a lot of folks have written Channukah songs but that most are earnest and forgettable. “Days Of Light” is a great example that’s been making the rounds lately. (I saw it posted on Life of Rubin and the Jewish Music Blog last week.) Yerachmiel does a fine job here. The musicianship and vocals are straightforward but engaging. The lyrics catch all of the main Channukah themes. And, to my ears at least, does nothing with any of them. that song is a good listen, but by the instance next Channukah rolls around it will distant forgotten, just like the huge bulk of Channukah songs.

But since, “Days of Light” is new for that year, and since Yerachmiel and Optimistical do play well, it’s worth the listen.

Even whether you just listen once.

Days of Light
