[thebaldybishop]

FUCK YOU ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  i am life

[bhandsdes]

Elysian.

[landscape64]

A truely beautiful lady in every sense! If you do believe there's a god, then he's one big A****hole! Takes all the wonderful people away from us and leaves all the dross. Such a tragedy she died so young!! I love listening to Eva when I'm down, she gives me the faith to carry on. Magnificent.

[x0xamyjanex0x]

Incredible x

[wisewonder52]

Some people truly leave the world a better place....Eva was one.

[ChaSquared]

Music soothes.

[one2plum]

I have had a go at this beautiful song. let me know what you think? one2plum

[MsPeterpan2]

omy word she moves me with her voice, I can relate to her both as a woman and a great singer, sadly she lost the battle but she lives on in her songs, as I have been through cancer twice, since 2007, i understand, I am in remission at the minute, please would you look at my cover of this song, wendy bryan songbird, i would appreciate the feedback :-D x

[kristikrause]

Food for the soul. Thank you Eva.

[ShroudedFury]

I listened to this song over and over when my mum was dying.. I wished i could say the lyrics to her...

[timhorpo]

just read eva cassidy died...what a cover, what a voice i love her

[Ill58usion]

It`s a cover of Fleetwood Mac from "Rumours"

[jonadkins1]

emotional x

[CushtiRecks]

how can anyone dislike this song?!!! fucking idiots

[minkyrose51]

kerrylouise, i was where you are 32 years ago. I smile now about my wonderful time long ago. It will never leave you and it's all yours forever. Treasure all the good memories, the sadness will fade and help you to be a whole person.

[minkyrose51]

Where would we be without this sort of music.  It gives us hope.

[bhandsdes]

this is the voice of an angel

[leannehalloran]

I lost my mum last on the 11th jan this year. She loved listening to this song. Miss you mum. xx

[mmccusker1]

my thoughts are with u hun kerrylouise this song always reminds of my late dad thinking of u too xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[bsnorthey]

197 people have no soul

[fabulousfiesty]

love this son g soooooooooooo muchooooo :)

[Slangen73]

my mum just love this marvelous,,,song,,,and songbird,,,

[Slangen73]

@Slangen73 just yeahhhh,,,

[toetstoetie]

It's even better than the original ;-)

[speedrace94]

Is this the original ?

[AegisNova]

@speedrace94 The original was sung by Christine McVie, as part of "Fleetwood Mac."

[sarcee1960]

Why wasn't Eva Cassidy a mega superstar and household name?

[AegisNova]

@sarcee1960 Because the music industry dragged its feet. I think she was just signed to a contract/deal when her illness took a turn for the worse.

[Tashy034]

My love for this song is somewhat ruined by the 'random biggest pimple' popping up!

[989Mojo]

Extraordinarily beautiful and sensitive - not just Eva but the whole rendition of the song - all time classic

[NYChica23]

@989Mojo Agreed...I will never get tired of hearing this song ♥♥

[hayzerclon]

When you sound better than Christine McVie you know you've done a bloody good cover!

[TheAwesomecierra]

Glee does a lot of songs better than the originals but they couldn't do this one better. I'v decided I am going to sing this for my glee club because I love it soooo muccchhh

[ebutlink]

Eva way ahead

[poopsienoremac]

I'm here because I prefer Eva's voice to any others!!

Why does it become necessary to compare "chalk and cheese"

It can't be done --- Sooo ---shut the hell up and listen!!!

[bhandsdes]

Yadda yadda yadda . . . What is there to say?

Play this at my funeral.

OK, right after Stay With Me.

And a bunch of other stuff.

[bhandsdes]

Yes. Makes you wonder whether there *is* a god who would strike her down. Can't get enough.

[trinipepper1]

Can't

'stop listening to this,she's amazing,the song's amazing,the words,EVERYTHANGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

[TheScorpion667]

Can't help but shed a tear to songs like this... just beautiful... and half your comments set me off too!!! Orla Fallon - Sally gardens.... if you like this, give that one a try... or Celtic Woman, come back and tell me they didn't make your eyes water a bit. I dare ya!

[twitchy17100]

who originaly wrote and sang this song?

[SmellsLikeFish1000]

@twitchy17100 Think its Fleetwood Mac, if i am wrong its still a beautiful song and you should check it out.

[solopony7]

@SmellsLikeFish1000 yes originally Fleetwood Mac Christy Mcvie to me more accurate. She herself wrote this song and sung it as part of the band. It was beautiful when she did it as it is with Eva

[xxxHeyZeusxxx]

@twitchy17100 It's originally a Fleetwood Mac song, with Christine McVie on vocals

watch?v=jISbwUehLrw

Check this out too! This is AWESOME!

[Thetruthwillkillyou]

Eva Cassiday is the soul mate of King David.

She is the little twig..daughter of Queen Tephie.

Destined to meet her love again and will be one of the three queens.

[hipadubreymccready]

beautiful, beautiful always

[gareth6179]

i play this song over and over it was for my daughter who fell asleep in 2005 aged 6 this year, i luv u baby xxxxxxxxxxx.

[wisewonder52]

@PlanTonto i'm glad you won't be commenting again.

[PlanTonto]

@wisewonder52  I am....

[Kerrylouise01]

My fiance passed away 4 weeks ago, he was 26 years old. I am finding that music is helping me to grieve and cry for Luke. This is a beautiful song and makes me think of my fiance so so much.

I will always miss and love you Luke and I will always love you too xx

[michellembell6]

I hope you are ok and my heart is with youxxxx

[Puppylove358]

@Kerrylouise01 i'm so sorry for your loss... i know that he is still here for you though!

[malcsbigsis]

@Kerrylouise01

Sorry for your loss my darling. Lost my Mum and she chose this as her song. It sucks, but you just get up and get on with it. Cry when you need to and laugh when you want to. The pain will never go away but it does eventually bring smiles. Beautiful song for beautiful people. x

[MissBigmouth356]

@Kerrylouise01 I am so sorry to hear your sad news. I lost my best friend Simon when I was 14. I found him hanging. This song helped me hugely. I am 37 now and not a day passes when I don't think of him. Time doesn't heal, but it does teach you to live beside your grief and allow the person you love so much to carry on living through you. With love to you at this time, Janie

[JayJayisOK]

@MissBigmouth356 Life can be sooo cruel, but it's the beautiful things in life that help me believe in better things.

[automaticangel21]

@Kerrylouise01 i'm so sorry for your loss

[bexloudan]

@Kerrylouise01 ur comment made me well up... i hope u find a way to move forward. U will never forget or get over it but u will find a way to deal with it in time and music like this is a great medicine. Hugs for u hun xxxx

[x0xamyjanex0x]

@Kerrylouise01 your comment made me cry whilst listening to this song. im so sorry for your loss....xxx

[clarecp]

@Kerrylouise01 I played this at my Dads funeral, it was 6 months ago, he was 51 taken by a Brain Tumour, I play this every night on my ipod to remember him.xxx

[Cemanthe]

@Kerrylouise01 Really sorry and sad to hear that, hope you find the strength to heal x

[malcsbigsis]

love you mum

[roytetwart]

What a fantastic voice.

[komandoklucha]

słyszałem że nie żyje :)

ciota

great song i been o her concert yesterday and it was amazing

greatings from soviet russia 

[HollywoodfreakxxD]

the glee version is better.Thumbs up

I LOVE Santana

[mart4366]

@HollywoodfreakxxD I guess we can agree to disagree. Eva has more feeling in her voice than Santana has. With Eva singing the song you can feel every word

[HollywoodfreakxxD]

@mart4366 everybody has a different tast in music. i think sanatanas version is much better and i dont really like this version.but this is just mine opinion

[PlanTonto]

@mart4366 Santana? Eva? How about the original singer you lame ass 20 somethings....Fleetwood Mac, Christie M. Please....ni66a, please....

[TheRelax34567]

@HollywoodfreakxxD No version is better. See them next to eachother. Both versions are great songs even though they are different.

[HollywoodfreakxxD]

@TheRelax34567 its the different tast in music

[italyrocks9720]

I like them about the same they both have way different feelings. With Eva it's smooth as butter and very "pretty". But with Santana from glee it's very raw and emotional.

[rhoubiba]

this is better in glee with santana's voice

[MsYourfaceXD]

it was better on glee :D

[666wolverine]

@MsYourfaceXD I don't know... I tried to listen to the Glee version and after about 30 seconds of their voices, I turned it off. Something about Eva Cassidy and her voice should not be compared to other singers; it's too genuine.

[fatustwatus]

i lost my doughter too at 13 im a man of 47 but makes me cry every time i love it

[wisewonder52]

the singer has not been born yet who can surpass eva...

[alexunsworthrex]

This is truly a beautiful song <3

[hazelmanc]

i played this song today and it was a last minute choice at 9.45 this morning the song i originaly chose they couldnt find , but it couldnt have been better . . .. for you theyll be no crying for you the sun will be shining .. . . and today for the first time in weeks the clouds cleared and the sun did shine :) and its 3 days from christmas !!!! thank you mum for helping even when your up in heaven

[r8gingbull]

yes it's a cover but the best version is THIS ONE!!!

[AURORA4105]

Un angelo che è volata in cielo, ma vivrà

sempre nei nostri cuori con la sua voce

e le sue canzoni.

Aurora

[TheJimbojetset1]

you lot shut up @ let this girl just sing her bloody heart out  if its a cover i dont give a shit

[DMT247]

I clucking love you

[openhanded64]

"to you....i'd never be cold, cos i feel that when i'm with you its alright...i know its right"..who cares if it is a cover song-her voice is awesome regardless of where the song came from..best listened to with eyes closed

[ashellyd927]

came hear becuz of gLee love this song

[MsPeterpan2]

beautiful singer and a wonderful moving song, i can relate to this as i had cancer too, i am one of the lucky ones, who up to now with the grace of god am here. please have a look at my version and feel free to post a coment thanks x wendy bryan songbird

[katecurnbun]

I shall always love this song. Beautiful singer

[lillemychannel2]

Will always love you Eva Cassidy! Thank you for all the inspiration you have given me!

[henning590]

best song ever - by the the best performer ever - i cry - and i wish that heaven could hear you. they will be pleased.

henning

[MyMaidmarion]

Beautiful song. I just loved her voice, so mellow with full of meaning. I also like her song Fields of Gold, and others. Always play her during my 4pm until 6pm Saturdays as a Presenter on my show at Radio Mayday, Croydon.

[staygulf83]

@MyMaidmarion Fields of Gold is not her song, it's Sting's. She only covered it, just like this song Songbird which is by Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. Eva was a very good cover artist.

[Loz992]

@staygulf83 no she was a very good singer who started of doing covers then passed away before she was truly discovered like she would of been now if it had happened at this time, she has an amazing voice and boy can she sing!!!

[staygulf83]

@Loz992 You talk as if she were alive. You mean she "had" an amazing voice and boy "could" she sing. Also, don't you mean "she would have been" as "she would of been" makes no sense at all. Yes a great singer, but still a cover artist though.

[gaconnochie]

@staygulf83 Surely when talking about how good a singer or how good a version is it is irrelevant as to whether it is a cover or not? There are countless great singers who didn't write songs. There are countless songswriters who can't sing very well. They are two different talents. Some people can do both but that doesn't mean the end product is therefor automatically superior.

[staygulf83]

@gaconnochie I agree, if we are talking about how good a singer is, but we,re not. Or maybe you misinterpreted my meaning. I have said Eva was a good singer. My point was directted at those who refer to "her" song Fields of Gold and "her" song Songbird, neither of which she wrote but only covered. So your comment is somewhat irrelevant, but thanks for chipping in though.

[gaconnochie]

@staygulf83 I wonder how many Frank Sinatra songs were written by Sinatra? I imagine it is basically none. Does that mean there is no such thing as a Frank Sinatra song? I imagine the vast majority of people who talk about an Eva Cassidy song are only talking about songs she sings and don't necessarily mean she wrote the song. It is common usage. I'd say anyway.

[FlossiesBeautyLove]

My son was born to this song! Beautiful!!!! xx

[Clarewayne]

This one of the most beautiful songs..

[smile8527]

It's only the Idea of the you that can create your Dreams. So become your dreams!!!

[clairewalle]

that is a true artist!!

if angels are real, Eva you must be one! <3

[TheFoundSoul]

playing this song for my mate Ethan,

Miss you, can't believe it's been 2 whole years since you left us...<3

[IAndrewBlair]

this song brings tears to my eyes

[cunard61]

Eva's version is second only to the original composer, singer, Christine McVie.

[gumbyangel]

WOW!! Glad I found this talented singer, too bad she's gone. Yes she will live on in her music.

[Elliott8425]

so genuily upset, such an amazing person, she was taken to us at such a young age, so beatiful, young and FUCKING TALENTED, youll never be missed Eva!! xxxx

[DyreStraits]

@Elliott8425 Your sentiment is well taken. Eva Cassidy is a beloved songbird gone too soon. However, I find it sad that in your heartfelt sympathy you were unable to take the time to omit profanity and check your spelling.

[dancingaprayer]

Some people are just born to be a light

[torchey58]

ov just melted  xxxxx

[wisewonder52]

sweetest voice on the planet...gone way too soon...

[thebaldybishop]

to my daddy , i miss you

[artvandelay3911]

Pretty well done but nothing can beat the original.

[chatuchakk]

@artvandelay3911 isn't she's the oringinal singer?

[whirlyfan]

@chatuchakk she isn't it is christine mcvie (fleetwood mac fame )

[mijuki09]

If love has a sound, it`s the voice of eva

[boob19791]

Beautiful - so many memories. First dance of our wedding, played all through my pregnancy and now my little boys very favorite song -

All Evas songs are great, she is wonderful.x

[stratmann77]

Wow..simply Wow, I now believe in God...

[RoyalUndisputed]

such a beautiful song

[poopsienoremac]

To any doubters out there . Eva's rendition of this song leaves all others in the dust including the McVie version which to me sounds pretty ordinary by comparison.

Yes I'm definitely an Eva fanatic and no apologies. I'm truly hooked on her unique "everything" and no I don't want any antidotes for my obsession.

Never forgotten Princess

[staygulf83]

@poopsienoremac Not a doubter, you are 100% wrong, no-one touches Christine McVie. Eva was a very good cover artist but how many songs did she write ? I've no idea, never heard her sing an original, only covers.

[ronwhycherly]

@staygulf83 How irrelevant. You may as well say that Sinatra, Presley and Pavarotti were only cover artists. Lieber and Stoller wrote some rock and roll classics but they couldn't sing them like Elvis.

Eva Cassidy's version of this song is by far the best.

[staygulf83]

@ronwhycherly Relevance has nothing to do with it. Yes, I agree those you mention were only cover artists, good ones like poor old Eva, but cover artists nonetheless. Christine, on the other hand, had talent as a singer-songwriter and no-one compares to her very favourably in singing this particular song.

[mareckbamf]

@staygulf83 I never heard Pavarotti sing an original, either. Does that make him a bad singer? Eva makes songs her own. I love both versions, just saying. Eva certainly arranged songs to make them her own.

[staygulf83]

@mareckbamf What has Pavarotti got to do with the price of fish ? Did I say Eva was a bad singer ? No, I said she was a good singer. The point I was making was that she was a cover artist and did not write Songbird or Fields of Gold which many people assume she did.

[wisewonder52]

Gorgeous.

[IFOIFO]

this song was our first dance song at our wedding!!!! beautiful!!!

[TheVintageparis]

MM <3

[jespellbnd]

Thank you Eva . Your voice, your singing evokes emotions in me that everytime, when I listen and watch your videos, especially this one bring tears to my eyes.

Your memory will live on forever.

[SoupAndSunday]

like never before ..

[thebaldybishop]

Eva is missed

[fezzmobile]

I stumbled on this singer by accident. What a voice - amazing tallent.

[gareth6179]

[wirralian78]

[lottemable]

Listen to the girls version on my account she's my friend n she's awesome...if she gets enough views she'll do another upload!

[anjapanya]

Eva Cassidy will always be timeless. Everybody, no matter how old, can appreciate and enjoy her beautiful soulful voice.

Eva inspires me! Please see my channel (anjapanya) where you can hear some recordings of my own songs. Any listeners most welcome! Thank you! x

[coreylouisexxx]

this was my grandmother funeral song and i always cry when i listen to this song. i will always miss uu <3

[zimzoomit]

cf260..I agree..this song and Neil Young's Harvest Moon for wedding tunes. I think I even like Eva's arrangement as much, if not better than Christine McVie's arrangement, though both are beautiful..

[cf260]

dis was the song i walked down the aisle to love dis song xxxxxxxxxx best weddin song ever

[ArcticWolf9]

This lady undoubtedly possesses a beautiful voice, but her version of Songbird is not near as good as Christie McVie's.

The additives in her rendition take away from the pure beauty of the words themselves.

[SuperJimduffy]

i'm looking after my dear mother god bless her i love her to bits and pieces, and ava cassidy is like a saintly voice every time i here her,

[redbunnyx3x]

She has the most amazing voice ever!

[van1976]

[bloxwichman]

it dont get no better than this x

[MrsAlessandraV]

wowwww AMAZING

[Badabing51]

WOW! and I love Christine's version

[rainbowkeys711]

I imagine Christine McVie would be proud to hear her song sung so sweetly...

[bingbong53]

Well done you WeeWalshiee; make up for the lost time now & have a real, genuine friend. Be kind to each other & you'll appreciate this greatly as time passes.

[WeeWalshiee]

im 14 years old, last week a girl from my schools mother died, her funeral was today, the girls friends were looking at me all funny wondering why someone who didnt even speak to her was at her mums funeral. After the funeral i seen the girl crying, i just stood there and then the girl caught sight of me, she ran towards me in tears and i burst out crying as she ran into my arms. 8 years me and this girl were bestfriends until we had a fallout and we never spoke Sometimes you need a real friend

[hethiscool]
