First of all, I must say I’m both a little embarrassed and deeply grateful for Sam’s kind words about me☺️. He’s already shared some background about how we met, but I’ll add that his support and curiosity about Asaf’s music have been truly remarkable. It’s not something I take for granted. We connected through reaction channels featuring Asaf’s music. Sam has been incredibly eager to explore and understand Asaf’s artistry, and I’ve been happy to share everything I know with him. He quickly realized that I’m not only very familiar with Asaf’s work but also actively involved in promoting it on various reaction platforms. Some reactors have taken us - this amazing group of supporters - on an unforgettable journey with Asaf’s music. A little background: Born in Israel to diplomatic parents, Asaf grew up in diverse cultures, including Jamaica. He’s a highly successful and renowned artist, especially in Europe, with a career spanning almost 20 years. Currently, he resides in France. Excitingly, Asaf has a brand-new album coming out very soon, so this is the perfect time to dive into his music! Asaf doesn’t believe in limiting himself to genres. Instead, he sees them as tools to freely express emotions, unrestrained by labels. His ability to shift effortlessly between musical styles, paired with his unique vocal delivery, makes him an exceptionally versatile artist. I stumbled into the world of reactions completely by chance. With my deep appreciation and passion for Asaf’s unconventional and mesmerizing art, I couldn’t resist trying to bring more exposure to his work. What started as a casual interest turned into something much more significant. Over time, I realized there were certain barriers that needed addressing - for example, many of Asaf’s videos were once blocked, making it difficult for reactors to share them. Being a practical person who loves finding solutions, I decided to contact Asaf’s management team (not an easy task! 😃) and brought these issues to their attention. They were responsive, and those obstacles were eventually resolved. Since then, I’ve found myself increasingly invested in this journey, regularly sharing ideas and feedback with his team to ensure things run smoothly. If you ever encounter any challenges with Asaf’s content, feel free to reach out - I’ll do my best to assist🙏 As for recommendations: Asaf’s versatility is one of his greatest strengths, so I’d suggest starting with different styles to showcase this: 1) 900 Days - In a box III Several people have mentioned this track, and I wholeheartedly agree-it’s a must-watch. Here are two links for this reaction: Track-by-Track "900 Days" (Which relates to the song and should be recorded first) Track-by-Track: ua-cam.com/video/NX9A09kySiY/v-deo.htmlsi=-2B22d0wM5NPM8EP The song: ua-cam.com/video/TgMZ0pGegI0/v-deo.htmlsi=x9QQ5JnHjo2rxjBw 2) Bang Bang - In a box II 3) Lost Horse For this reaction, you should record the Track-by-Track "Lost Horse" before the song. Track-by-Track: ua-cam.com/video/AjuiSWXzZcQ/v-deo.htmlsi=WdqJ0xqZAZNpIfGG Here are two incredible versions of this song (it’s hard to choose! 😁): ● Live au Perchoir, Paris. Asaf performed this live on UA-cam during the pandemic, promoting his album "Anagnorisis." He performed several songs from the album, including Lost Horse. The song: ua-cam.com/video/aeDzQPbo7do/v-deo.htmlsi=vH8XOgZ4hJlKi0TQ ● Live version from 'Aquarium'. A live performance streamed on UA-cam and other major platforms, recorded without an audience, except for a few special invitees from the Israeli Ministry of Culture. This performance was part of the Aquarium project, a cultural initiative by the Ministry to support artists during the pandemic. The first song:(ends at 7:45) ua-cam.com/video/RMfCRlUhfuU/v-deo.htmlsi=wirEj6YgB-nSfTk7 4) Her Lies - In a box II 5. The Reckoning Song/One Day - Live at the Acropolis 2022. This song is one of his most well-known hits. (There are millions of different versions! 😃) During the performance, he shares the story behind the song-such an emotional version. The Acropolis of Athens, with its iconic Parthenon, is an epic venue for a performance! I’d love to see your reactions to Asaf’s music. Thanks again for your time, Michael!😊
A masterpiece and an excellent performance!! Asaf Avidan is a versatile artist with a unique voice ! Great Reaction Michael, thank you for sharing!! Thank you Sam for this request !!
Yeah.. that was great.. I had told Micheal I was curious to see if he had seen anyone do what he does at the end with the guitar.. I kept it vague.. but I was really looking to see if he had ever seen an artist do a primal scream into the guitar as his way of expressing their emotions.. I also knew Micheal would give me a great deal more insight to the instrumentals and the looping machine.. and he definitely gave us some education on this reaction. Glad you enjoyed it.
Yo Mike your genuine smile and appreciation of Asaf's creativity and explanation of some of the techniques is what makes your channel shine. Asaf make us rethink limits.
Yo Mike, I haven’t watched yet but just in hope you are still YT connected wanted to say Merry Christmas and big love from Australia BTW this is just the beginning for your ASAF experience, REN told us last year to check him out, unique voice, great son writer Anyways Love Bro
@@martinrobinson936 the 'In a Box Series' (II/III) - is recorded live? Live means no editing, no re-recording, no auto-tuning... All songs are written, composed, and produced by Asaf Avidan. They are performed is what I believe is an abandoned church and he uses the acoustics in the rooms to add to the sound.
Thank you so much, Sam, for your incredible support and trust! It’s amazing to see your enthusiasm for Asaf’s music and how you’re encouraging others to explore his work. I’m excited to start suggesting more songs for Michael to react to, and your kindness truly means a lot!❣️
@@Rinat.N you are too kind.. I have full confidence that you are more equipped to guide Mike on this Journey than I am.. in a reply below I put up a condensed version of my previous attempts to share a bit of my back story.. hopefully YT will let it go through this time.. LOL.
It is a pleasure to meet you Michael (•‿•) Ha Ha, Nobody and I mean NOBODY expects that voice to come out of him. His voice gives an initial shock that jolts you into paying attention. As you start acclimating to his voice it starts to draw you in. I can see why Sam wanted you to react to "Your Anchor" with your expertise especially with a guitar. We (Asaf's fans both new and tenured) can appreciate having someone who is a seasoned musician such as yourself to give their prospective on someone we are very proud of. Because of your long standing accomplished career, your opinion holds more weight and we have all the confidence in the world in him that we say "BRING IT ON" (-‿◦) LOL Sorry everyone I have a bad habit of saying I speak for everyone (͡o‿O͡) I had a smile ear to ear watching your responses to parts of the song we know are coming and will likely cause a great reaction. I can see that you can appreciate a musician like Asaf. He is a genius level song writer. His lyrics are a presentation on their own. Then add his unique voice with power and vocal rage. Throw in all those layers of looping with both vocals and harmonics perfectly and precisely timed in addition to his intimate live performances that leave audiences wanting more. That is enough to say he has too much talent to even be human but what makes him especially unique is his fearless approach to vocal expression and unconventional use of instruments. I don't now anyone much less an artist who is willing to make errors as he experiments live in front of a large audience. We ⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡ him for his raw authenticity and even when he hits a wrong key or note (which is rare) we can appreciate him making himself somewhat vulnerable to us. Thank you for giving your thoughts to this song and thank you Sam for getting us a professional like Michael for Asaf's music reactions. Hope to see you react to another of Asaf's songs.
@uptnogd So true.. I found Michael's channel when he reacted to Ren a while back.. I am still very new to Asaf myself, really... but this particular song I knew immediately when I saw all the different ways he uses the guitar... I knew that Michael needed to see this.. and I am not a musician.. I just love music.. so I knew Michael would definitely give me additional knowledge on Asafs musical abilities. He did not disappoint .. it really was a great informative reaction.. and I agree.. it was fun watching his smile light up on certain parts of this one. Thanks again for the reaction Mike.. and thanks for all the efforts you make to promote Asaf, @uptnogd I am glad I found your page too. Much ❤️
Yo MIKE! Thanks for checking out Asaf! Definitely a Unique artist.. For myself this song always reminds me of relationship back in the day.. I was young and a bit Naive and she was a bit older and a flower child type, very free.. and I was thinking this was it.. this was LOVE.. this was magical.. and not too far in she recognized that my view of the relationship and hers were totally different.. she sat me down and broke it down.. and let me know it was over.. she didn't want me to get hurt further by going forward.. at the time it was devastating.. I was like Asaf.. pleading that she has it wrong.. I look back later and really appreciate that girl, for being mature and kind enough to recognize the situation.. The desperation and frustration comes out after she clarifies to Asaf that she doesn't feel it's love.. the guitar.. the primal scream to express the frustration of that moment.. really love how everything has meaning with his music. This was all in one take, much like a lot of Ren's performances.. I think he does a great job of presenting a break up.. to me it's lines like .. She said I'm her Chain... I said No Honey.. I'm your Anchor.. in my mind I see it as maybe he thinks she is a bit wild.. she feels he is holding her down.. but he feels like.. no.. he is a stabilizing role in her life.. keeping her anchored.. But clearly they look at it from two different perspectives and they are not in alignment at this time.. I don't know.. just my thoughts.. but I am so glad you did this reaction.. I love the knowledge you bring to the table.. especially for someone like me who doesn't have musical knowledge.. I am just like... HEY... THAT SOUNDED REALLY GOOD.. OHH... THat was cool.. LOL.. LOL.. but I knew you would break it down and I'd learn more about this artist.. by seeing him through your eyes.. As always.. a great reaction. I hope you check out some more Asaf.. he has a big catalog and a lot of great songs.. 900 days is with a piano.. Ohh.. just a lot more good stuff from Asaf. Thanks for the reaction. Take care and God Bless you in the new year.
Thanks Sam. I really enjoyed this video…. And im glad you appreciate that girl all this time later…. I think most can relate in some way. Great artist. ❤️
@michaelgoyettemusic Yo Mike!! Hey.. thanks again for a great reaction.. breaking down the instrumentals was great to watch.. I truly respect you as a artist and was excited to have you check Asaf out.. he is incredibly talented and very expressive with his music.. he really makes you FEEL his music. Appreciate your channel and Rinat.N and others are better equipped than I to guide ya down this rabbit hole.. but I am grateful that you gave him a listen.. I was pretty confident you would enjoy it.. and it's just scratching the surface here too.. so it should be a fun ride. Thanks again. ❤️
Really really really happy to see Asaf Avifan on your channel now! I found him last year (through Ren) and wow did he blow my socks off! He's all over an interesting artist and person and his music is like no other. His music and lyrics make me feel peace, with life, with existing, with death even. And that is quite a skill to have! So thankful for him. His lyrics are... poetry.
YES! Welcome to Asaf Avidan's world 💫 New subscriber here!! Thank you, Michael, for this insightful reaction! It’s important to note that this video is from several years ago, and Asaf Avidan is a true looping pioneer-mastering this art long before most people even knew what looping was.. His exceptional skills, combined with his mesmerizing voice, thought-provoking lyrics, and unmatched originality, create a level of artistry that truly sets him apart! This song is a masterpiece- a complete work of art from start to finish. Asaf’s brilliance shines through in every aspect, from the raw passion in his voice to the depth of emotion in the music. That iconic scream perfectly captures the pain and intensity of the story he’s telling... This song, explores the fragility of human connections- how love, often idealized, is also filled with doubt, longing, and the need for reassurance. It’s poetic, raw, and deeply relatable. I’m so glad you noticed the guitar and looping techniques-it’s a testament to Asaf’s ability to create something extraordinary with even the "simplest" tools.. There’s still so much more to discover about his artistry, and I’m sure he’ll continue to surprise you with his innovation and depth😊 Thank you again, Michael, and a big thank you to Sam for requesting this❣️ I’m already looking forward to your next reaction! If you’d like, I have so many recommendations for the best versions of Asaf’s songs😍
@Rinat.N Hi 👋 I am so glad you were able to check this reaction out. Hope you had a good holiday. Oh on Goat Worthy in a live the other day he reacted to 900 days too so you may enjoy checking it out.. in the live he played some Ren songs that he put his own song to and he was actually pretty good. I haven't had a chance to dive in.. but I saw that Saeed had I think it was 49 Asaf songs.. hmm.. I got to carve out some time. 😆 Micheal has some great Ren reactions too.. Thanks for coming in and giving him a sub.. Micheal I am a true amateur.. Rinat.N truly can guide you through his catalog. She knows her stuff for sure. For myself I just am still baffled at how amazing this guy is.. and how low his views are especially in America. She is correct there is a lot more this artist brings to the table.. I guess I just wanted to see if you knew anyone who used that primal scream into the guitar. Again Rinat.N.. thanks for coming in to check the reaction. Much ❤️ to you.. I need to get into Bemusing Bill too.. ohh.. I started watching the his reaction to Asaf - My latest Sin.. I sadly got pulled away early into it with some family stuff and didn't get back to it.. but Bill seems wonderful too. Thanks for that recommend. Take care and God Bless you.
I read about screaming into the pickups in an article years ago in guitar magazine dedicated to 10 ideas for sounds on a guitar that aren’t traditionally musical….it works into some electric guitars as well. I think the article was written by Steve Vai if memory serves….it would’ve been in the late 80s. Thanks for the request!!
jfc that song is madness. Stopped by to check out your reaction as I remembered that Ren had been super excited about this guy. Beauty, contemplation, obsession, and a musical depiction of the spiral into violence.... (said with interest, admiration, *and* a kind-of apprehensive fear) Interestingly enough, his voice INSTANTLY made me think of Ruby J's (ie, another Ren connection). At least, in this one. I'm 100% of the suspicion that there's even more to his voice than we see here (which is pretty impressive to start with). I came to find this one after finding out that today's drop was your 2nd Avidan song, figured I should check out whatever had come first, first. I'll definitely check out more from him.
Hey nice to hear from you. Yeah my first reaction never really caught a wave….I thought it would get more views. Maybe it’ll be one that gets around slowly. I just want ppl to be hip to this. It’s quite fresh✌️

Asaf’s versatility is one of his greatest strengths, so I’d suggest starting with different styles to showcase this:
1) 900 Days - In a box III

The song:

2) Bang Bang - In a box II
3) Lost Horse
For this reaction, you should record the Track-by-Track "Lost Horse" before the song.

Anyways
Love Bro
Merry Christmas Daz.
I must’ve missed that Ren memo. ;) better late than never. ✌️ ❤️
Shit did get real 😂😂
You always get it!! 😂 ✌️
From Asaf - 900 hundred days (piano) might be my favourite, and - man without a name as well, both from In a box three
I will have to check that album out for sure
Sounds interesting…

@@Marcin-o2z RIGHT !! I keep trying to remember what his voice sounded like to me when I first heard his music and cant remember lol

Really really really happy to see Asaf Avifan on your channel now! I found him last year (through Ren) and wow did he blow my socks off! He's all over an interesting artist and person and his music is like no other. His music and lyrics make me feel peace, with life, with existing, with death even. And that is quite a skill to have! So thankful for him. His lyrics are... poetry.
YES! Welcome to Asaf Avidan's world 💫 New subscriber here!!
Thank you, Michael, for this insightful reaction! It’s important to note that this video is from several years ago, and Asaf Avidan is a true looping pioneer-mastering this art long before most people even knew what looping was..
His exceptional skills, combined with his mesmerizing voice, thought-provoking lyrics, and unmatched originality, create a level of artistry that truly sets him apart!
This song is a masterpiece- a complete work of art from start to finish. Asaf’s brilliance shines through in every aspect, from the raw passion in his voice to the depth of emotion in the music. That iconic scream perfectly captures the pain and intensity of the story he’s telling...
This song, explores the fragility of human connections- how love, often idealized, is also filled with doubt, longing, and the need for reassurance. It’s poetic, raw, and deeply relatable.

Bang Bang in a box II .. sooo many layers! Thanks for reacting to ASAF , Ren suggested this amazing artist !🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
jfc that song is madness. Stopped by to check out your reaction as I remembered that Ren had been super excited about this guy. Beauty, contemplation, obsession, and a musical depiction of the spiral into violence....
(said with interest, admiration, *and* a kind-of apprehensive fear)
Interestingly enough, his voice INSTANTLY made me think of Ruby J's (ie, another Ren connection). At least, in this one. I'm 100% of the suspicion that there's even more to his voice than we see here (which is pretty impressive to start with).
I came to find this one after finding out that today's drop was your 2nd Avidan song, figured I should check out whatever had come first, first. I'll definitely check out more from him.
Hey nice to hear from you. Yeah my first reaction never really caught a wave….I thought it would get more views. Maybe it’ll be one that gets around slowly. I just want ppl to be hip to this. It’s quite fresh✌️
Reckoning song live at the Acropolis is an awesome performance with some beautiful guitar work in the beginning. Check it out, you won't regret it.
Yo🇸🇪
Yooo

Can't handle the voice... wish I could as the instrumental parts are interesting. 😞
It’s unusual…give it a 2nd try and you may hear past it. If not I owe you 5 minutes! 😉
