This is about the TetraGrammaton, The Name in 4 Hebrew Letters that Moses wrote down. I have read that the correct pronunciation was lost during the Talmudic period after being used as part of the Temple Service during the First Temple period.

We are not referring to the "TetraGrammaton". That is not one of the Names which reflect the different aspects of G-d which are found in prayers. The "TetraGrammaton", as you refer to it, was only uttered by Aaron, the High Priest, in the Holy of Holies, in the Bais HaMikdash, on Yom Kippur. We do not utter any of the Names which refer to G-d in mundane conversation because to do so, for such a purpose, is to cheapen them and is thus prohibited. As I said before, the various Names of G-d each refer to a different attribute of Him, and are only to be used in prayer and Torah study.

So the Messyonic production of that song is not in any way representative of authentic Judaism, in that it immediately violated 2 Jewish laws, just for starters. The Youtube video is even IDENTIFIED as Messyonic:

"Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel"

and therefore, no further analysis is necessary. It was purposely constructed as a Messyonic attempt at deception. It is a lie through and through, wrapped in a pretty package. Don't try to palm this off as having anything to do with actual Judaism. It's an attempt at a con job. Jews with a proper Jewish education recognize this for what it is at a glance and wouldn't even bother to tune in.

I was; it is His name in the Torah, occurring over 6,000 times. I never understood how its pronunciation was forgotten. The only biblical reference I found was in the Book of Jeremiah which blamed bad pastors/prophets for leading the people (not the High Priest) who thought to cause the people (not the High Priest) to forget the name, as their fathers forgot the Name for Baal.

I agree that the song, the group, and alliance are not representative of Orthodox Judaism, nor that anyone trained in Orthodox Judaism would be confused to think it was. It is just a group of (mostly) Israelis (could be some tourists mixed in) who I still think are mostly Jews exercising their freedom of conscience. I still like the music and song, so much better than the rap and techno/rave music so many IDF youth can sink into.
