Adamant Atheist Struck By Lightening Becomes Popular Contemporary Hebrew Christian Phenom

"Some have called me a modern day Saul or Paul story," recalls former atheist Noam Crowley. "After being struck by lightening, I was in a coma for seven weeks. They say I spoke perfect Hebrew the moment I first came out, although I don't remember anything from that seven week period." Soon, friends and family began recording every word he spoke in cognizant states. "The first translation came back for the utterance

אני אצטרך את העוף , עם שני הצדדים של אפונה , ותאנה פודינג לקינוח, which means, 'I'll have the chicken, with two sides of peas, and fig pudding for dessert.'" Crowley, however, was actually on a feeding tube for the near two-month ordeal.

Soon Crowley began singing his Hebrew words. He starts, "I was never a musical person, but suddenly I was breaking out in song, and in Hebrew, nonetheless." He began to draw from the recordings, and put pen to paper. "On my first album, I have developed a pattern of writing songs in English with Hebrew refrains. People love it, and I have spoken words in the background for the refrains, which tell the translations. I don't really know where it all comes from, but my life has changed drastically since I have found a deeper meaning for it," he exclaims.

Crowley's song titles include "אני טלה שלך , אתה שפרד שלי," which means "I am Your Lamb, You are My Shepherd," "הדם שלך ניקה אותי," which converts to "Your Blood Has Cleansed Me," and "הספל שלי פועל על," translated as, "My Cup Runneth Over."

Many of the recordings, however, were not used, says Crowley. "At one point I sang out 'אני רוצה את MTV,' which means 'I want my MTV,' and also the perfect rhythmic statement, 'מדינה קר funky' or 'The funky cold medina.'" He finishes "I really don't know where all this came from, but it does happen. I just feel lucky to be alive, and blessed that I have a new outlook on living. And then, of course, there is the music that has come from it."
