Joseph met Abigail four years ago. She fell in love with him but he was already taken. Then they parted ways, he to save Mexico; her back to Brooklyn, never to see each other again. And oh, time flew by, she went to law school, to find a job, become a wife, when the time was right. And oh, time flew by, he went to India to find G-D, find love, find anything anywhere above. Oh, all the time, he was looking way to high, cuz late on night in mis mind, abigail came to him and shined. They started sparking and the romance was fire fire fire. He knew that she was the only one he wanted. And she knew that he could be the one. But there was so much work to be done. She said, " I will wait for you." So, she buried herself in books while he dug to the surface. They'd meet in the middle where hearts of truth collide. They started sparking and the romance was Fire, fire fire. He got down onto his knee. Took out the ring and said, "Abigail, make this real for me."

Maxwell 05:04
Maxwell's from South Bend Indiana, came to Israel on his Birthrite. Next thing he knows he's in Yehsiva, grows a beard and starts wearing a kippa. He learns hebrew and hangs Israeli flags in his dorm room. Maxwell, he's a Jew. Maxwell he's me and you. And he's back and forth wrapping leather on his left, back and forth with his neshek round his neck. Yeah. So soon this place becomes his home. He joins the IDF to defend what he believes and he says, " So you shoot your missiles, and I'll catch them with my Iron Dome. And those that miss I've watched them crush my home. But what about my soul? It can't be broken like a body does. What about my soul/ It can't be crushed like bones do. Yeah. Maxwell fights for two weeks at the Army base. Then he learns for two at the Torah base. And he's back and Forth wrapping leather on his left, back and forth with his neshek on his neck. Back n forth. Maxwell, he's a Jew. Maxwell, he fights for you.

Sirens (free) 02:45
The headlights of love are blinking at me. They look a brain, trying to implode. When I called her name, she never came to me. She never came to me. Finally, I could someone that my lies, my lies they can't look through. Your eyes, oh yea your eyes are true.
