[EXCLUSIVE] The Avoda – Spread The Light (Official Music Video Hanukkah Style)

The Avoda’s music reads like a diary. After almost drowning in an attempt to save a friend’s life in ’05, lead singer Dov Carpe began a lifelong journey. This odyssey lead him to pick up everything and spend a year Jerusalem. “When you stare death in the eye and you’re given another chance, you can’t help but humble yourself and start over,” said the introspective singer/songwriter.

The Avoda blend heavenly soundscapes with earth shattering and empowering anthems. With influences ranging from Coldplay to Saves the Day, you’ll be drawn into a world of dreams and manifest realities. Look out for their newest release, the “Once Upon a Cloud” EP, on most major online distributors.

Lyrics:
Before they had defiled our Sacred Temple
We would sacrifice to the G-d on High.
There we had achieved our greatest potential
Way beyond the stars in the lofty skies

But then the music seemed to stop
And the flames all went away
The entire people shocked
But they lived to see the day

Spread the light
Feed the fire
Lift the night
Bring it higher.

A leader rose to challenge all expectations
Choosing instead to fight not lay down and die
Help came from Above in a great revelation
Showing us all we had to do was try

Then the music ceased to stop
And the flames came from far away
The secrets are unlocked
And here’s what they have to say.

Spread the light
Feed the fire
Lift the night
Bring in higher

We live in a dream it’s not what it seems
Illusions mask all reality
At nighttime we sleep where dark forces creep
But they don’t mean anything to me.

Spread the light
Feed the fire
Lift the night
Bring it higher
