Chassidic singer Shulem Lemmer, sings Eden Golan’s ‘Hurricane’ but using the original words from ‘October Rain.’




Eden Golan Sang the Song at Eurovision





Shulem Lemmer posted this caption to this clip of his hauntingly beautiful rendition of the song, which can be found on YouTube: 

 “In these times, when we’re focused on not drowning in the hurricane of hatred and antisemitism, our personal feelings often take a backseat. Since that dreadful day in October, our hearts and minds have been solely focused on our land and people. From the moment I heard this song, I felt compelled to cover it, as it conveyed so much of what we’ve struggled to express in recent months. The original “October Rain” was deemed “too political” for the world stage, leading to the release of a more neutral version, “Hurricane.” I am sharing “October Rain” in its raw, authentic form to voice our nation’s true sentiments. May the floods dry up with the warm sunshine of Moshiach’s arrival!”
