British singer Menachem Weinstein has released a new song and music video.
This song tells the story of someone who was struggling to find the right direction in their life and then met a special person who positively changed everything.
“It tells of the power of finding the right life partner who can completely inspire you and guide you out of a dark place, wherever that may be, and into the light. Meeting my wife was the most major, and effective, single moment in my life. I feel that this song reflects and describes that,” Weinstein says.
“We recently moved to South Florida and one day I was driving down the I-95 on the way home from work. In true Florida style, a harsh storm and pouring rains descended out of nowhere. The visibility was horrible and it became quite dark.
“Hearing the thunder and seeing the flashes of lightning, I tightly gripped the steering wheel as I struggled to see where I was going. Then another car, from behind, overtook me which made it possible to follow its backlights and use them as a guide until eventually, the storm subsided.
“When I thought about that experience it seemed to compare with the time in my life when I met my future wife and the journey I was on then,” he says.
A few days later, he wrote this song and presented it to the popular British music producer, Shloimy Salzman. His musical talent, and genius, can be found as it shines through in the amazing arrangements and production.
The song is dedicated to Weinstein’s wife, Chaya, in honor of her birthday.
Menachem Weinstein grew up in London, England. He was encouraged to pursue his interests in music, media, and the creative arts and released his first song in 2011. In 2015 he founded Munch Media which over the years produced media and video content for many of the Jewish music stars and organizations. To date Menachem has released 7 studio singles and is in the process of completing his debut album.

My highway had twists and turns, flips and burns
It took a toll on me
Minefields, afraid to wonder
My heart filled with pain my soul aches with hunger
I grip tightly, through this field of lightning
Hoping for a strike of life to ignite me
Searching for guidance that’s when you arrived and
Like a car through pouring waters
Your lights showed me the way
Never thought I’d need someone to blind me
Until the dark began to fade
Through pouring waters
Your lights showed me the way
Never thought I’d need someone to blind me
Until the dark began to fade
The byway I tripped and learned that love is earned
It took a toll on me
The right way, afraid to wonder
My head knows the path
But my heart hears the thunder
I grip tightly, through this field of lighting
Hoping for a strike of life to ignite me
Searching for guidance
That’s when you arrived and
Like a car through pouring waters
Your lights showed me the way
Never thought I’d need someone to blind me
Until the dark began to fade
Through pouring waters
Your lights showed me the way
Never thought I’d need someone to blind me
Until the dark began to fade
The path you paved in front of me
The waves you made to guide me through the storm
You were my angel in the night
You came into my life
Like a car through pouring waters
Your lights showed me the way
Never thought I’d need someone to blind me
Until the dark began to fade
Through pouring waters
Your lights showed me the way
Never thought I’d need someone to blind me
Until the dark began to fade
