Gedalya Folk Rock Rabbi’s latest ballad ‘The Thunder’ is a powerful and stirring piece of modern folk music. With distinctly modern and contemporary stylistic influences on the production, the song builds with a clear purpose, a rising and rousing sensation that builds tension, momentum, and scale as it moves onward. It has you feeling entirely gripped to the narrative that Gedalya is narrating, the entirety of the story and the purpose of it all. You find yourself completely in awe of the power and measured performance of his vocals.
While you expect some sort of thunderous and momentous catharsis towards the end, Gedalya chooses to maintain the same tonality and mood, never once going for that expected crashing conclusion. A ballad through and through, performed and composed with excellence.
