it's from a Mordechai Ben David CD from 1993 called MBD and Friends. It's the second track.

For connecting with God or maybe just getting some work done in the library with earbuds in

Ashrei - Rabbi Shefa Gold

Sung with Grace Gleason in a tunnel in Riverside Park, Wappinger/Munsee Lenape land, Manhattan, 9/9/21

צָמְאָה לְךָ נַפְשִׁי כָּמַהּ לְךָ בְשָׂרִי
בְּאֶרֶץ-צִיָּה וְעָיֵף בְּלִי-מָיִם
 כֵּן בַּקֹּדֶשׁ חֲזִיתִךָ
 לִרְאוֹת עֻזְּךָ וּכְבוֹדֶךָ

Tzama lecha nafshi, kama lecha basari
B'eretz tsiya v'ayef bli mayim
Ken bakoidesh chazisicha 
Lirois uzcha uchvoidecha

My soul thirsts for You, my flesh longs for You 
(As one) in a desolate and weary land without water
So (I thirst) to see You in the Sanctuary
To behold Your strength and glory

- Psalm 63, 2-3

This song was first taught by Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson on 28 Nissan, 5714 - 1954.

Tzama Lecha Nafshi/My Soul Thirsts for You (Chabad) — Psalm 63

A new nigun for waiting for the bus, walking home late, for swirling wonderings!

Nigun Hamtanah

“The Invisible Wall” is a haunting, emotional ballad about living with ADHD and the silent battle of executive dysfunction. It captures the feeling of wanting to move but being mentally frozen — the gap between intention and action that so many people misunderstand. 
Through raw lyrics and an intimate soundscape, the song gives voice to the frustration, shame, and quiet resilience of trying again when your brain won’t cooperate. It’s not about laziness — it’s about living in a world that wasn’t built for the way your mind works.

Melody by Bostoner Rebbe
Deuteronomy 4:35

recorded by the Let My People Sing! Core Team post Summer 2016 retreat: Margot Seigle, Noam Lerman, Mónica Gomery, Ilana Lerman & Batya Levine

lyrics:
Ain ohd mill-va-doh Ha-shem hoo ha-El-oh-heem
אֵ ין עֹוד מִ לְ בַ ּדֹו ײ הּוא הָ אֱ ֹלהִ ים
There is nothing other. YHVH is Elohim. As above, so below. 
(translation and transliteration credit to Shir Yaakov)

some history: This melody is an original composition by the Bostoner Hasidim as part of their intensive outreach in Boston in the 60’s and 70’s. It likely spread around the broader Jewish community through Reb Ebn Leader bringing it to Reb David Ingber who brought it to Romemu. In the original recording there is a first part of the song that was not included in the spreading.

Ain Od

This song came through the shock following a particularly cruel Zoombombing that disrupted a funeral. 

May we hold one another as we wind down the rocky mountain roads from the peaks of shock and heartbreak to the valleys of silence and peace.
