Does anyone know if this melody was taken from a non-jewish source?

The lyrics were written by Shmuly Goldman (Chasdei Soul to Soul) - as confirmed by Benny Friedman. But I suspect that the melody isn't original - because Avremel has never ever sung this song again even though it is beautiful, haunting song.

I can't see the video and I don't have the time to check it on a you-tube enabled device. Can you write the name of the song?

If you are referring to The Return, it was composed by Yossi Green, as per this website: http://www.jyrics.com/lyrics/the-return/

Yup - The Return. Now that I've figured that out...why has Fried never sung this song again? Am I wrong in my assessment of its beauty?

Do you have any examples?

I've attended many concerts (>10) of his over the last couple of decades and I can't recall him ever singing it.
Also have never seen a recording of him singing it by an event.

It surprises me that no one gave this thread a wiki.
Started well before DDF Wikis existed. But let's start one :)

Oh come on. It's a nursery school song. If you want to go there then add "Twinkle Twinkle Kochavim" to the list.

Wait till they find out the candy Yankee Doodle put in his pocket wasn't kosher.

On the same page, why does 00:28 - 00:48 sound so familiar to a song I've heard b4?

From a 2006 post on BeyondBT:
Quote
As a BT, I’ve often felt the clash between the culture I grew up in and the “frum” culture I’ve been living in for so long. One of the areas the clash always made itself evident to me was music. I just never could get into “Jewish music.”

This clash took on new meaning for me years ago when I worked as a manager in a small business that employed Chassidic girls, who loved to listen to music as they did their tasks. One girl, in particular, was really into it. She sometimes asked my opinion of the latest song or album. I tried to feign interest, but Jewish music – especially the type these girls liked – really never did anything for me.

One day she excitedly brought in the newest album and played it. I had to admit, at first, that there was something I liked about one of the songs. It had… a certain….

I couldn’t put my finger on it. But it had a quality that resonated for me. And as I listened to it over the next few hours — she played the album again and again — all of a sudden it struck me:

It was “Stairway to Heaven,” by Led Zeppelin, regurgitated in instrumental form without lyrics.

Does anyone know what recording this might have been?

He had it backwards, stairway to heaven is a knockoff of a Jewish song.

On the topic, check out this absolutely insane rendition (with Led Zeppelin in the crowd), especially from 3:50, though the whole thing is worth the time:
