and with me via telephone all the way from somewhere i'm assuming in muncie is a superstar stinger russia shiva is an inspiration to the nation as they say the one and only barry webber barry how you doing hey everyone hello yasi how are you how's it going you had a busy week we're here to talk about the album obviously the new album barry webber carbon but barry you're in my hometown sunday you're mamish in my show across the street from my house tell me what this amazing agnostic safety was like sunday yeah so this week i was in montreal and yeah i must say that the the the montrealians are super warm people and it was really felt this sunday uh when i had the opportunity to to sing at the that they chris little schmucks um simon's boy that passed away who was it who was a carbon hashem you know in in the stampede that happened last year unfortunately like boy man and this was definitely a light of warmth you know the whole the whole city i was i would say town but you know people act over their friend like a town the whole city everybody came out uh you know men women children and who not came out you know to take part of this amazing secretary and this this amazing simcha that this time its family had and um shleiman expressed himself to me that this afflicted was the wedding that his son didn't get a chance to have but he said that he would he knows that his son would want to want to have me as a singer so that's why he had me as a singer over there it happens to be true i knew the boy i i know i know shloim since he's married because he married one of my neighbors can't find a nicer man a nicer family full of midness and type and they were they were big berry fans any time i came to visit barry the first thing they asked when's barry putting out an album now considering considering your last album ago the echoes one heart came out in 2016 fans have been waiting quite a while barry yeah it took a long time and i'm gonna blame it i'm not blaming anyone you know everything is seated ishmael that's look of everything and the wait for everything and the the holdback from everything but you know if i want to put it in into a physical process you know i with my shiva and literally in order for me you know to be able to focus to be inspired to come up with stuff to be creative you you you need a little you know on your shoulder and i i didn't have that past years but last year i i i toned down a little bit with no shiva toned down i just made like a little habit a little group for other reasons i did it in order for me to have more of the in-depth uh connection with the boys because that's that's exactly what they need and that's what i'm good at um so that allowed me a little to you know to start to finalize and finish up and stuff and literally the last the last half year i had hashi weinberger helped me a lot the last half a year last year to half a year is when i really started you know like okay you know this needs to go out and but technically you know strong selections you know and you know some arrangements i started like literally four or five years ago so there are some songs that that you know have been around as long as the last album finished you're saying exactly like there's this one song in particular that that's i literally got that that's i don't know exactly but i i literally got that like a couple years ago which song was it this song is from maya adler you know the musician from attack father my um composed the song a long time ago and um this this i i sent the arrangements to laufer martial offer and this this was done a long long time ago and happens to be that this song somehow exploded the first you know the most feedback that i got from singers covering it yeah in israel especially in israel but even in america too i'll have hundreds of videos you know people doing it you know by weddings and singing it and comes it and so on that's that's that song and this is track four mandy hi yes wow barry weber with us via telephone discussing finally discussing the release of his longly awaited album six years in the making carbon berry you have a lot of interesting songs here i got to tell you the first time i listened to the album i connected with carbon but you know for me the the big song that i had to listen to like another 50 times this was track five abyssal track five abyssal abyssal yeah that's uh that's a little out of the box for what people expect coming from me but i'll tell you what i always try to be a little diverse again you know my in my box in my bubble you know if you look back on my all of my albums though you know in my album thank you hashem i had like a reggae song and i um you know i had a you know i had a guy russian which is a big band type i always try to have something you know a little different um that's because you know we myself when i connect to music it's about you know it's about you know the you know the diversity of what music brings you the different moods and the you know different feels and the and the art of it so i always like to be a little different but again i know i know who i am and know who my clientele is so i can't go extremely crazy right but at the same point i wanted to give you know for you know i wanted to give my clientele a little bit abyssal from everything so you know i i i always say i i i'm giving two songs for every type of you know every type of uh of um environment you know you know um dramatic and so on so abyssal was definitely something that has um uh more of uh i would call it not a city genre no definitely not it starts it's very interesting because it starts very soft then it gets really fast and then you have these amazing falsettos that you know we've never really heard it yeah it gets more intense and it's interesting that i'm getting the most feedback that i'm getting back is from the city you know from the consideration area that's that's where i'm getting the you know these other people who like it most um um yeah but this song itself is uh definitely unique you know the the tune and music and and the vocals the singing of it so tell me barry this is like your i don't know fourth fifth album i guess depends if we count uh you know all the acapella albums that you put out between them yeah right so ezra yeah um thank you you also had the two acapella albums and you had the i had the best label calling it a wrestler album right i had the saromina aguinas and i had i had a shabbos fabring and two regular banks so this is like the ninth album but if you want to count it as a you know a collection of new songs it's the fifth and a shabbos vocal there's a shabbat every every every fabric that i have has the vocal and uh and the music one so so leading up to my question how did this album differentiate for you you know in creation you know because you you've been down this road you know you you've done it from the early 2000s till till now or 2020 to you know was that was the process different for you was it harder easier you're trying to be more creative well well personally personally this is more you know satisfactory if you get to express yourself you know with uh through you know something that's new and fresh something that goes back to your identity um the music that you know that i choose that i build and that i create is music that is definitely something that rubs off you know on on on the journeys that i go through in life everybody has their journeys whether it's uh getting married raising kids paranosa interacting with people or being shiva you know all the music it definitely has a connection you know and meaning behind it according to what inspires you and through what is it how you see the world which lens you see it so for me personally this is like my baby you know that that has my dna in it and it's very sp it's very special but um again i'm also influenced by the generation uh you know by by the people that i'm surrounded with and uh it also has you know it's you know some of the songs are songs that you know that you typically find at what you know what today's boys would like to hear at weddings and so on and so it has both it has the you know things that i get affected and think that i have an effect and that's the beauty of it that you get to inspire and especially if you get feedback from it really inspires them and and it gives them physique and it gives them hope and it gives them so on you know that's that's something beautiful although you know when it comes to these collection albums for the fabrics that's designed that people should be able to get more into it more you know this this is more of a performance or kind of like entertaining in general in general but in but versus you know the music that people already know and people already connected and i choose those songs that are popular and that that inspired everyone that can even go further in a certain sense that you know they they are already connected you know it doesn't have my identity but the fact that i was the vehicle who led them to that you know to that place is also something that i get feedback but it's always it's always you know in the satisfaction of something that you created yourself something that you know was it's it's your identity that's that goes further for me i mean now speaking about your identity you're coming out more on the on the writing side now to this album you've dabbled in the past but i think we have more you know composed by lyrics by you know idea by so you know let's say you're you know opening track with sir it's saying bahraini i mean right as yeah where you know how how was it stepping into this new role of being more you know proactive instead of just sitting and buying songs from emails now sitting there and actually working on material album yourself so in a certain sense masha hoya he she i mean to say that i i always composed and i i always had a creative side but i never really explored it i never i never i never you know um pushed myself to demand for myself to you know i i um i i it's it's kind of like you're not aware of what you're carrying so like in my first album i also had two of my own compositions my second album i already had four like compositions and the third album i had five or six um so i always composed my like my song is my song um those songs if i'm allowed to say i would say we're probably more simplistic in their melody you know now they're they're a lot more complicated sometimes yeah sometimes it is sometimes it's not like uh a heim is not a simple song that people would you know um very simplistic you're right um okay i take it back barry i take it back yeah all right permission granted [Laughter] um i i technically you know there's a lot of songs that i that i compose and work on not everything is that i feel is worthy enough you know for me to invest in it and you know put it out to the world or you know that should shape my my name and my you know and and how you know people identify very weber as but you know the ones that i put out is the ones that i feel people will you know you know connect to mostly so um but in this album particular as i said because i was working on it for such a long time you know you know and i constantly had to you know get re refresh myself and get back down you know sit down and work on it so maybe that's why you can see more of my you know it was literally like every song that i i don't know if i wrote everything but you know every every song is even though when i go with you know with a composer let's say if i sit with you you see um my previous album there's a song um it's a whole long song yeah yeah yeah and i sat with piazzi and you know piece by piece and you know it will shift to shape not only but this this is this is the this is the perks you know when you work with the album um even though you get a song from it from a composer he writes it according to you know to to the to the frequency of the oh you know the singer you know and then the singer especially if there's a singer who's uh has the capability of you know adding on something and you know to give in the field that's that's that's how it is so monday night you went on instagram and you were saying how carbon the title track of the album was actually uh dedicated to a friend of mine in yours who was nifty last year during the tragedy in meiron uh shragging statner which which is in the booklet but you know the funny thing is the first time i heard this song it was before i got the booklet and the way i understand this song was like you know any hardship you go through in life you know things aren't going your way or hashem throws you a little stumbling block in your life that's that's a cardboard that's the way i understood it originally but you know then when i when i see the dedication i hear what you're saying you know so is it meant to be understood one way or another or everybody can take away whatever they want it's it's it's all of it it's all of it because technically if you think about it you know the fact that shiragi gave his uh his shama back um nobody nobody would say that he deserved it you know this was a message to claudius and what am i and you taking and or anybody else taking from that you know the least that we can do is to connect a little bit you know you know in a physical sense the feeling of what the family is going through and what his kids is going through but even in a spiritual sense of what a carbon means you know what what is this message what is what is this tragic occurrence what what what does it say to us you know who said who's first of all who says that we are safe and why is it fear that one person is taking a big chunk for everybody so it's it's really not about that it's it's really about the the internal message that every little you know we're not nobody wants to get a big patch to realize that oh this is not your space you know when somebody's entering somebody's space and you know you can get punished the early warning the early sign is where we should you know get our messages and so on and we constantly get early messages and everything is you know everything is from the boy to calallen everything is from the creator of the world and everything is signals that we really need to put some thought to it you know what is it about so we're anyways going through all of these hardships in order for us to grow to achieve to you know to to to to to get to our destiny so this song just you know this song the message of the song brings out that we're aware of that and we're we're we're telling to hashem to the creator to this about whoever you know is generating all of these trials and tribulations that okay i'll do it i'm doing it for you you know that you know this is this is my destiny this is where i'm getting to so it has a very global message very universal message very personal message and a very you know it's it's it's it's everything it's everything so in this sense this you know this is something big a very tighter thing that brings out very strongly in a dark way this message but we don't have to wait until it gets dark you know we can you know carbon can also mean a carbon fiber a carbon a carbon of thanks you know i you know you know i i i raised my kids i put in so much effort you know to give and to give them love and and to direct them to the good places and now i'm marrying off my kid this is i did it for you you know accept that and you know and that's what we need that's that recognition no 100 percent barry webb with us by telephone with discussing the release of his brand new album carbon available refrigerated digital download available in stores with a special packaging from malhot and available as a usb barry is is that big version available anywhere that was just for you that one big version with the that like tallest sized uh decal over there so actually it started off with uh he made it as a joke he brought it he surprised me he gave me that big one uh that big palace but then people reached out to me personally that i wanted so i i didn't do it like officially but um i did uh i did order another i ordered a few more for people who wanted that just as a credit like uh the people who reached out and asked me for it i you know people are a fan they want to have some kind of memorabilia from barry yeah why not something cute exactly so i had on my site i just built a brand new website a state of the art website i don't think anybody uh you know this is something whatever if anybody wants to go and check it out they'll see very well e r i w e b e and one of the options over there is to buy uh baby weber memorabilia so uh you know whether it's a mask whether it's a mug whether it's certain you know items and bumper stickers that i you know that i you know that i promoted in the past so someone over there sent them a message but by now there's a few people you know why that big tell us is not on the on the on the website so it's too expensive to stock up on it but i told them if you want it no problem you know you know i can get them that as well so yeah barry's website is very intricate each page has its own video of moving pieces it's a very interactive website nobody has something like this yet not only that i believe barry's website even has a page where you guys can submit songs to barry for future projects right yes yes and that's something that's something that everybody has you know if you have their email or whatsapp then you're lucky enough that you can send them a song but otherwise there's there's no way to go about it but to have an official thing on your website where it can reach barry or at least barry's team that's uh you know you're opening yourself yeah you can you you can buy sheet music you can buy tracks you know some you know camps i got like many camps that i wanted to have the tracks of the music without the vocals so they can you know do their theme songs or whatever it is the karaoke everything is the karaoke version everything is available on on the website i was very happy by the way i was very happy to see that you put the schmeichel on the album you know i i loved this song when it came out uh concept of course by shimyada there's just something about it you know it's it's it's it's a great message and you sounded really good when it came out the song i was wondering about i was wondering about if you were going to put the uh the hydrant song on the album you know because i mean let's be honest six years there were you know there were some other songs that came you had um yeah you know there were other singles there were many singles that came out that there was the the calisthenics song because it was the you know the papa utter cover which which you know people really like and you did ari hill hey shalom there was many songs that came out in between the last you know between this this album and that album but um first of all i couldn't you know include everything but i i had to pick one and i felt that this is like something first of all for the diversity of you know the color of the album this something that i felt that uh really is gonna you know give it another angle and from the other hand it's it's just the pure song it's a pure message simple it's a happy you know it's it's something that really is something that we all need you know you the reason someone smiles and it has yiddish english and hebrew so you know you have three languages yeah it's a universal and understood song um by the way you and hashi uh you know you got to know each other obviously through through schnitzel throughout the years um when i see hashi's name on a lot of these songs you know was this like one or two writing sessions or we're looking at like over a year of getting together yeah this this was definitely a longer that that you know we sat and said you know night after night um you have to understand sometimes you know you can sit for four or five hours and nothing happens because it's you know it has to it just has to happen so so it's not that we okay we meet tonight and that's just just just so you understand before every album um you know this is my fifth album so before every album i i i went to seagate to sit down with jesse green and always tried to get a song from him but somehow it never it never clicked although you know we got every album there was another two songs that we finalized you know once we we finished you know sitting down correct but it didn't it didn't click you know it were both of us we didn't feel it i didn't feel it's it's it's it's it's the the right to the appropriate song you know yossi always says that it's a song a song is like uh like like having a baby you know it really has to it has to has to develop into something healthy you know to something that is cool so same thing here um in order for it uh really you know to shine and to be perfect you know it was was a lot of uh meetings and sittings and and and creative um uh tries that we did you know in order to make it happen and we got here we got here you know and it's not your typical you'll see green song either you know i mean it's it's a hebrew song also right right right so that that that that is a finish by itself but also the tune right really like it brings back you know that uh that nostalgic feeling from from my perspective you know that that the yossi of amul you know to me right and i really i really felt it and i felt really special that he you know he gave me that present but going back to hedshi um you know heshi is a young energetic guy and uh you know the frequencies you know it can always you know it has to click people that have to understand that um i'm not talking somebody who is pressured and to put out a song because there's a certain agenda and so on but talking about a regular album if you want to inspire people if you want you know if you want to be inspired yourself it really has to be meaningful you just can't can't be just okay tonight we're doing a song no that's not how it works right so so so how she was really you know giving giving his time and his heart and i and you can see them now you know in the songs that he delivered you know every song technically heshi was not only involved in the song that he composed but uh even other songs like i have this amazing song from uh idiosyncratic right and mate you know wrote this initially this song in the lyrics but there was always this tweaking and twerking that we needed uh you know to shape the song into what it has become and how she was there you know i gotta tell you made me very happy with that arrangement that you went to hershey ginsberg i used to love hershey's arrangements yeah he is she um unfortunately unfortunately he's amazing unfortunately he's a very busy guy but but but you know when you get to him and he comes through it's wow wow wow wow you know it's a great it's a very deep song now by the way speaking of this song if i can interrupt you a second oh you know and you have parsha and you have um you know there's there's more than a few songs of yiddish or you know not english even songs like abyssal you know is there an idea to put maybe english lyrics or english translation even for carbon in the booklet for people that you know love it but don't understand it or for them to better connect to it well listen i'll tell you what if i could have you know lined up everybody who was going to listen to my album and get to meet them and get the you know to hear what they have you know to say and then you know i would be able to you know to please everybody but it's not possible so we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people who are listening to jewish music and sometimes it's it's it's not even hidden sometimes you know you find people in south africa and south america and we're not and you know i just saw the other day my album came out gashi schwartz i was taking care of my online music so he sent me the day after he came out he sent me a uh a screenshot of this screen where you see you see that in in iraq there was five people who listened already to my albums two people two people in back baghdad so i'm not sure exactly you know if these were even people who were jewish but the point is that people who are attracted to my music are not definitely not um uh necessarily attracted to it because i'm giving them 100 you know what they are looking for they they enjoy this vibe this no it doesn't have to be that they always understand what i'm saying you know when you're listening to a song i agree right so so you can't always satisfy everybody you can do according to what everybody needs so i always try to throw in a little bit of this a little bit of that little button people ask me why why why are you always you know he's putting out these um songs of hebrew so to me hebrew is not my first language you know my first language was yiddish if if i'll do something that's universal you know and i have to pick between english which which is not the you know the yiddish you know i'd rather pick hebrew that because it connects somehow to more people i mean according to people that i would like to inspire but about but i do throw in english here and there um but that's not you know that's that's not who i am it's not my my language and um and there's there are other singers who do that you know that that's where they shine right i mean it wasn't more about singing english it was just more if you had an id if you had a an idea that you wanted to maybe include translation to booklet just so it would be a little bit more understood but obviously you know the book yeah the booklet i do that yeah right so i do that on instagram because i figured people who are english speaking are people who um you know who would you know that i just see it from uh from uh you know from a perspective from the what's his name the guy that distributes music tells me that most cds are being sold by people who don't have any access to any internet and these are like in like in the williamsburg area and so on these these are people who read the booklets and other people they technically uh online that's where they stream their music and um so that's that's why i kind of like gear you know the the the booklet more or less towards that but what i do i do what i do is um people who follow me on instagram i i am doing now a series where i'm going through every day another song and i am explaining everything in detail um you know exactly what you just asked um so i'm going through if you if you follow me on instagram you would see you probably i just started like this week and i started off with this with a song that came out uh like the song the mountain um because that that was a stepping stone to the carbon idea of uh because that was lily nishmas uh dovish diamonds and uh yesterday i spoke about um carbon today i'll speak about uh hakusame so people who really want to you know want to understand every song the detail what inspired what and what the meaning of it is you know should go you know follow my stories and you know they'll see that follow barry webber on instagram i gotta tell you hacksaw for me is a funny song because like hacksaw is like what modern orthodox say to each other you know see this guys you know you know what i'm saying so seeing barry you're saying i'm like what in the world is going on yeah so definitely so um this that's also something that's like an icebreaker or you know something you know you know by us haksam if you would ask anika kid what does if he knows hebrew he would tell you oh so it means a good yantef so like shivoh is and and and and then the uh chanukah or pesach he would say but the truth you can say it by anniversary you can say by a birthday party you can say it by op share sharon you could say it anywhere that that's the point pakistan and this song is really this song really you know speaks about that it's i mean not that ideal but it it the lyrics of the song is that you know we gathered here we're drinking wine we're celebrating you know the vibes are good then let's celebrate let's you know let's just think hacksaw so it's definitely not something that you know that would attract a typical khasirishi but since my audience is a little broader than that so i uh express myself in that song and it has like a deep deep house you know uh trans but i'm not sure exactly you know which is you know right right right but it has like has has a strict like like a club like a club feel like you know with these bass and so on um but it's it's you know it's a happy celebration song in hebrew and i just you know this is uh this is uh something that is uh unique and and i love it so i figured maybe people will like it as well i enjoyed listening to it um trek eight well barry weber with this white telephone discussing the release of his latest album carbon track eight i mean you and lipa barry you go way back i mean when i met you in my office when i had the je magazine you came to the office for schmoozed i mean you know when you're growing up you uh correct me if i'm wrong but you wanted to be like leiber schmelzer back then that's what i remember from the early days right lipper lip is a character and uh definitely is uh inspiration um lip happens to be five years older than me so by the time you know i was of older teenager um you know i was already listening to his albums and uh me starting my career is someone that you know he really uh looked out for me and was always helping me you know on every album i have a song of this no but i'm saying i remember him always helping you know you guys like you was amazing back in the day you know you or even i think when you stroll whitaker came out with biased neman you know libra was singing in the weddings he wanted to help all the new emerging hasidic artists make it as much as he could it was a good leap is a good-hearted person by nature and he always he always says the more competition there is the more the demand there is out there so so from both angles he was like very invested to get people you know to to you know for that there should be a industry of uh artists out there and creativity so that gives them a bigger that gives them a bigger uh audience and a bigger workplace you guys formed a very close bond over the years yeah yeah we're friends we're close friends you know uh i've been there with him when when he opened his shoe but this is he's when he was pouring the you know his uh evan was it called evan pinna yeah and and and you know all of his kids bar mitzvahs of all his kids and i was you know we're friends we're good friends so why why this song i'm sure you guys sat down and went through like 15 songs so honestly uh leap at the time was very very busy i must say um you know he just got into his new new look or new whatever you want to call it um he really got busy and um he literally took you know some time i remember was like mid corona i had my yeshiva was up and running throughout corona because you know like a lot of the boys like they did they weren't gonna get along in their houses where they originally um you know come so i was open um i brought i was begging lipper to come over he came over we sat um first you know we tried to create some creative songs you know songs about you know like art like he was right into that but then this song popped out it was very very simple and to me like it just gave me that like that vibe of i i could see like a bunch of people sitting around a table and you know like very free spirited like just just like expressing their their connection to hashem throughout all these words like kai lalakai ovi adodi rai ahuvi it's just it's not the typical it's not something that i figured it's going to be very commercial so on but just to me it like it gave me like a very warm feeling and it was simplistic so i figured i i you know i knew this oh i think you were smart i think it was it was a great choice i'm curious to hear what else came up but yeah um two or three more questions then i'll let you go uh question one gershy schwartz you guys have been connected for like the last three or four years what is it about gershy how did you get to gershy what is gareth she actually responsible with when it comes to barry all right so so so good she guess she's a unique individual i mean he's also a very very very musical talented kid he's a young cowboy basically you know in every aspect when it comes to be techy or when it comes to be you know whatever it is he he always has figures out stuff and he's a good guy to have around a good to have as a friend he's a very emotional warm person he's very nice person um and being that you know he was a fan and we spoke um you know we had a harusa we learned and i really felt that we can grow from each other so we we bonded like we we we had like this friendship um in the beginning he came up with yeshiva um he he you know he he took me he showed me had a little studio he showed me some of his stuff that he did he worked on at the time he worked with milo right and i figured that you know what let me let me explore this area you know let me let me let me and we started i think the first project that i did with him was the lpr project which came out like uh like uh three uh songs before purim but music videos right so um actually this was it was a live job but um it just he tweaked it and twerked it then i was really happy with you know you know with the studio work that it did so i figured you know what that was i said i always had this idea of doing a a ceremony a technicality project um i went through already the fourth stage of development of it first i went to someone tala levy sweet guy and i i had this idea of doing like different cultures like every song should be like a different culture like the russian type of music you know chinese type of traditional chinese type of music um middle eastern type music hungarian european type of music and you know and some some um some cool dress you know and and lose i wanted to do different types uh i started working with him it took me very long didn't work out i went to like to do an edm track in the whole thing i i even worked with the ghost writer somebody dj someone who was gonna nothing worked out they say good things come hard but then i said that when i figured i'm going to give it a try with him he connected me right away with nothing um okay right guess she had this you know connection with him and we started recording it and it just just everything went smoothly you know and and you know he finalized this project it was amazing and uh i was really happy with the results so you know they're on the word got out out there that you know that i guess she's the guy to go to and he was local was convenient he's a good guy he's a nice guy he has a great environment in the studio and just like uh what's danny gross in the city you know he's in muncie but he upgraded his studio now in the last year and a half so it's bigger and then then he moves yeah exactly he moved and we upgraded this so basically this album was technically created in the studio um yeah yep and guess she also gave she's also he's my um i don't know the name but you know anything that is has to do with you know with uh tech social media you know whatever i have now my website is technically what he did without a website technical advice technical advisor you know you know yeah it has to do with any stuff that people need digitally and so on contracts you work with like lawyers from you know everything you know he took care of that so um yeah he's a real help and a good friend and by the way the branding and everything for the album has been gorgeous you know the i i don't i see here it says uh was done by a company love branding but you know even the videos that you're doing now i see used a couple of brothers from seagate called the schwartz brothers i mean your whole team is is just top-notch one i've been seeing yeah so i i wasn't gonna you know i wasn't gonna hold back when it comes to uh you know i wasn't gonna hold back to perfect it when i finalized i have this uh amazing branding companies uh uh a paper a lot of papery that i uh you know that i adopted from my album um you know and ellie lacks and uh hook me up with and you know all of my artwork is you know something that like it has like a certain theme um and here also i i incorporated also um uh what's his name mayor unger who um who finalized everything so beautifully uh you know the album and he hooked me up with the guys that did the promo videos the schwartz brothers and it was really seattle deshmai you know where everything came together with hashi weinberger gashi schwartz mayor hunger i love papery and and and who not whoever was involved was my everything came about and i'm really happy with the results and people are raving with feedback with amazing feedback hashem i got to tell you everybody and everybody by me all that see them in the show and all the you know the guys heimisha guys like me the davinder they're all they're all raving about the album barry are there any any plans for music videos in the future yes so i part of my of you know me you know putting out the album was invest time and effort the money to you know to be able to promote the the album afterwards and one of that you know so part of it is the music videos so i already um you know shot three videos oh wow all right you're in israel a few weeks ago you shot there right right right right so you know the parsha video came out um next is haksamer which is eventually is going to come out the mets hashem right after tish above and then uh then after that there's uh there is uh an amazing amazing gorgeous video for you so your mama's not picking your typical songs right right no because i'll tell you what music videos go way uh you know there's two types of videos there's the video who you're just trying to promote um a certain let's say you you want to create a hit so you put out you're hoping that this is going to push it even more but then there's the video who the video is just it's just bringing out your message even stronger you know you have a message because you know yes to me is literally you know what i'm about you know it's it's it's helping the underdog it's realizing that you know that the struggles are meant to help you grow struggles in your life are meant you know for your benefit eventually and the only thing that you need to do is to realize that and to to be strong and to push yourself and to believe you know in in the slaves and the good and the goodness that you that's within you and a song you know goes far but a music video goes goes even deeper and further so that's the purpose of doing a video for that then you know there's sometimes there's a song who gets which gets so popular and you you just feel like you want to write on that you know you want to you know you want to make it you want to make it memorable forever so you put a music video so that could wait if you know there's going to be a specific song here that is going to get crazy you know then you know i have time in a year from now to you know i agree with you there are a lot of songs that are like we call them hidden gems you know some of the bigger songs kind of overtake them and you're like but people didn't get a chance to hear this let me do something with this and bring them to the forefront and it's funny barry i was talking to like uri davidi like a year ago and he was in london someone's like i love your new new song and he's like what new song he's like oh i put out a music video six months ago the guy didn't know that it came out an album he only know the video because you know the album wasn't attainable to him or he didn't have social media so all he saw was that single so a lot of times you make a video for a song and they don't even know the song was off an album they're like wow i love the new video but oh it's on an album i didn't know anyways barry thank you very much i want to wish you a hug we're enjoying the album um and we're gonna play you out give me a second i picked one song this week so playing you out with zeddy uh can you leave us with any thoughts on zeddie or anything that happens while recording is that the typical song that is going to prove to you that if you listen to a song just wants it you know you're not going to get it is that that you have to listen again again you have to feel it that though is a feeling song it brings out the connection that you know the the ways of how we can connect hashem whether it's your friend you know everybody has their you know their moods sometimes he's your friend sometimes your father sometimes it's everything it's all of that uh malar rosenblum did the arrangements very traditional but very full rich and you know have a cup of tea or even sit down when you're happy and sing it you'll find that this really fits your mood barry thank you so much have an amazing summer hats look her album thank you so much thank you bye
