Haley K. Turner’s Hanukkah Song

A few years back while in the Ellen Show, famous comedian Adam Sandler stated that if there are any Jewish people who want to write and compose a song for the Hanukkah, he would be happy to use it. For some of you who don’t know what a Hanukkah is, it’s a Jewish holiday for celebrating the recovery of Jerusalem after the victory fought against the Syrian army back before. The festival is celebrated for 8 days long, and by eating, playing, and of course, singing Hanukkah songs. It starts from November 28 to December 6.

Hearing what Adam Sandler said back then, some people have composed their own Hanukkah music. That includes Vancouver singer and songwriter Haley K. Turner. She wrote the song titled “Intangible Things” which talks about nostalgia and sentimental feelings. She actually wrote two songs, but the other one is a parody of her own song about writing a new Hanukkah song in regard to Adam Sandler.

Recently, Haley is trying to get Adam Sandler to notice the new song she made. She started a campaign to let Sander know about the song and even put out a video skit referencing Sander’s “Happy Gilmore” film for extra effort where she wrestled a balloon alligator and made a tutorial on “how to get in touch with Adam Sandler”. She is also giving awareness to people about the lack of mainstream Hanukkah music in the industry, encouraging Jewish musicians to write and compose their own Hanukkah songs. this is a good idea to avoid music repetitions during that festival, especially for it having an 8-day celebration.

You can now listen to Intangible Things on her YouTube channel or download it from Spotify for free. She said that the main purpose of the song is to celebrate Hanukkah as well as to make awareness, so she decided to give it away.
