Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World (Medley)

[paloozapoofshhh]

I love this song but then I hate it because it's a complete lie.

[alika207]

Love you Braddah Iz!

[Shinra07]

Anyone who says this song is happy and not sad really needs to see Finding Forrester!

[redfeather1234]

Makes me so happy I want to cry!!!

[hawaiianpride626]

takes me back to my homeland......luv it

[SimonB2205]

beautiful.

[babycakes4711]

Thank you I think of my parents up in heaven finally reunited at last

[TheBloodyScotsman]

free palestine alahu ackabar

[SaydaEleana]

This song made me cry!

It's so beautiful!!!

[shia56891]

Anyone posting negative comments on this video is defeating the purpose. This song is about living past our negative lifestyles and seeing the world for the beautiful creation that it is. It's about learning to love each other and avoid useless negativity. So if you don't have positive things to say, just keep it to your self for the sake of the song.

@jordan1138---obviously not a musical bone in your body --- stick to TV!

[eightof8]

I love this song - My Mam died last night, and this song will be played at her funeral. Thanks for putting this here.

[113dvdsandcounting]

Ok, guess I don't have a soul.

NEVER liked this version, not sure why. Maybe because The Wizard of Oz has always been my favorite movie and I never wanted to hear another artist sing Over the Rainbow.

That's all I'll say though, to each their own. Very sorry to read that the singer passed away.

[chsfredrick]

if you don't like this song you don't have a soul

[slang650]

Jordan1138 knos nothing about music but ima keep it peacful because of the song

[momsregret31]

@Jordan1138 ur a rude person and if you don't like this song why the fuck did u listen to it!? Go post ur idiotic comments on something truly a pile of crap like angry grandpa!

[MrPainkiller4rent]

2:13 hell yeah bio shock

[GeorgetonDUJALI]

good rendition of the song. it will make you relax your mind, Peace y'all

[Jordan1138]

This song is a piece of crap. The interesting interpenetration of the music is all but destroyed by the butchering of the original text of the song into something barely coherent, which turns the song into a trite pile of garbage. The suggestion that this is anything other than a shitty performance of a great song is an insult to the intelligence of the listener.

[LowProfileinGa]

@Jordan1138 What, pray tell, Maestro, is an interpenetration? It sounds so sensual.

[Jordan1138]

@LowProfileinGa sure, if your idea of sensual is hearing the singer gasp for air between verses because he can barley breathe, then yeah.

[georgerz2511]

@Jordan1138 Pretty sure he was talking about YOUR intelligence. I think you meant interpretation not interpenetration.

[georgerz2511]

@Jordan1138 Please learn how to spell before you start talking about other peoples' intelligence.

[iluvbuster2468]

@Jordan1138 Get a life. Shut your mouth. and learn some respect. This man is amazing and if you don't like it doesn't matter. Have a heart. And if you don't like it shut up and don't listen to it. k thanks bye.

[skara14s]

[01vaughanfan]

@imnotthisoldlol  "How thoughtful of you, OLDIEJERK!"

[JuanSebastianQuevedo]

Que canción tan bonita tiene la voz de un ángel 

[crimsonladybug]

I defy anyone to listen to this when they are sad or angry and continue to feel that way.

[kingjack1961]

This is an awesome video... wish I could capture that kind of beauty on a camera. I can only see it in my eyes, and remember it in my mind.

[13123ndaAnderson]

R.I.P

[1987bruceh]

Wicked song!

[JOKERxRECLES]

I sang this to my girlfriend in Hawaii, I had to breath every minute

[MrJellyfishGuy]

The best song ever!

[myliltoby]

Cant wait to meet him when i die.... meet him in heavan:)

[krisdybdal]

I might be a bit drunk, but this song always brings a tear to my eye( alot nok :-)) Mostly because from 2.50 and forward it gets me to think of what i should do, and is no longer " just" a song. And yes brudda Iz had a huge appetite.......On life!

[niColao6]

you can always hear the words in a song... its easy! once you read on the artist and learn to know the artist you can truly feel the love and joy in his voice! I heard this long before but could never find the artist who sang it... now i know and my 6 month old daughter listens to it while she falls asleep.... truly an amazing song and man!!

[MyPowerKillsYou]

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole was the best, is the best, & is always going to be the best.

[mandotie13]

Very mellow song

Relaxful

[toricarmy]

Makes me cry!:')

[Bubblepoppers710]

R.I.P  Bruda IZ ;)

[zkrtrt]

Hm. He was fat because he had an eating disorder- period. Don't get me wrong, he was great, but he had incredible problems controlling his appetite.

[MyPowerKillsYou]

Israel was big because he was filled with nice characteristics and music, 700 pounds of them.

[Lioness3033]

Makes me wish life were simple!!!

[yankeessuck1138]

Uk I actually like this song

[happilyinsane8]

I have a friend who is hella similar to brudda iz. his voice just makes stop and go, damn. happy damn.

[XxFireGangsterGirlxX]

I sang this song in my Christmas program in school.

[unclemikescloset]

Best version I've ever heard. Inspiring!

[KuRKoCL]

Me encanta esta melodia.

[Guidiin1]

[RunNingTheoRy]

If IZ did one thing in his life, it was bring peace, joy and happiness to people through his music. Thank you and R.I.P Brudda IZ

[Harrypotterfreak231]

I love this song. Its so awesome man! *not a hippie* This song always brings a smile on my face when I'm down. during school i'm wanting to listen to this song so badly so i'm asking my sister if she can put this on my ipod

[TheJosh1625]

Heard this for the 1st time played by a US Air Force band at an air show in Pretoria South Africa - stood & listened & was amazed - tears running down my cheeks. The voice & soul of an angel.

[sirlonjamas]

4 personas son infradotadas...

[johntomasi]

[TheMasterpiece76]

I'm crying of happiness!

[Gagare1952]

Great video thumbs up.

[AsianBoy13579]

What a Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Song this is. I remember being in Times Square for New Year's Eve 2007 turning 2008, and after the ball dropped, they played this song. It resonated with me so much that i've been searching for it subconsciously ever since. This is such a powerful and beautiful song, symbolizing a fresh new start for the world every New Year's.

[beholderka]

... super

[jrae50021]

I never tire of this song and I'm never embarrassed to shed a tear when I hear it. Truly the voice of an angel.

[vickideco]

love this!!!



[Book2111]

this is a great song :)

[TheMariomaster97]

@driverain2 I love it too. Once a day is also my habit. I visit the webpage once and keep hitting the rewind button a few times xD. The worst part of this whole song! (and yes there is something) Is that it ends after 5:05.

[TreeFourMe]

IZ wasn't fat, he was just full of music.

[hawaiian698]

@TreeFourMe that was funny...omg. i am from hawaii living in omaha nebraska. it made me grin.

[wojo861]

@TreeFourMe you copied that from a girl posting: ,,He's not fat, he's just full of love". Minus for you.

[MrOddt]

tere needs to be a love button

[winkle66]

WOW.....



[garfnielsen]

[brianlai22]

superbe chanson

[HomeWreckerA1]

Isn't that the guy from shallow hal????????????

[daddyson2k]

Not to be morbid, but I hope my family plays this as the last song at my funeral. I happen to agree with driverain2. Once in a while, God gives us an angel on earth if we only listen close enough.

[pdubdad2cool]

@daddyson2k no matter what is going on in my life, in the world, IZ can take me back to the place where hope and love resides PLUR:)

[Tamsin330]

Judy Garland would have loved this

[123MyDixieWrecked]

@Tamsin330 Who?

[lauralillian16]

@123MyDixieWrecked She was the first person to have sung this song.

[America100000able]

@Tamsin330

Well Judy Garland already heard Iz's version because Iz is dead. Him and Judy are playing a duet in heaven now. Him with his ukulele while she sings :).

[hermancutts]

Fantastico

[YouAreAFagLittleGay]

Happy belated Bday IZ!

[cowboybear40]

Since watching Meet Joe Black, ths is the best interpretation of oth songs, sadly he's no longer with us. he must have a great pperson to know

[driverain2]

I love it. Once a day is my current habit. I am kinda weak for the voice of an angel.

[chingpongionglong]

@driverain2 as commented on another of his videos: Iz didn't die he was only called back to heaven by God =)

rly beautiful song, the voice all the same!

[claudiomono2]

Los colores del arcoíris tan bonitos en el cielo Están también en las caras de la gente que va pasando Veo amigos dándose la mano Diciendo: “¿Cómo estás?” Están en verdad diciendo: “Yo… yo te amo” Algún día desearé sobre una estrella Muy arriba de las chimeneas es ahí donde me encontrarás En algún lugar sobre el arcoíris rumbo arriba Y los sueños a lo que te atreves, ¿oh por qué, oh por qué no puedo?

[almacuevas]

Wowwww!

[alexandrews999]

so good !

[spike0226]

Inspiring. No more need be said.

[GirlyMuffins]

:) my new favorite song

[AVIVAH4EVER]

Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high In the land that I heard of once Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams That you dare to dream Really do come true Someday I wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like melon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you find me If happy little bluebirds fly Above the rainbow, why Oh, why can't I?

[AVIVAH4EVER]

Nochthans, deze heeft een zusje, even more beautifull.......AWWWWHHH

/CznPpbkbYW4

[AVIVAH4EVER]

Bijzonder mooie video met prachtige images, en deze Israël Kamikawiwo heeft niet alleen een extra-ordinairy naam, maar zingt ook nog eens erg goed.

Heb nooit eerder van hem gehoord.De song kan ik wel droooomen en ergens ben jij daar ook. Wens je een goed weekend. Kusjes!

[mepmug01]

Lieve Huug,

In mijn opinie 1 van de mooiste uitvoeringen van Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

Weer prachtige beelden bij je video. Weer eentje, die een groot compliment verdient. Dus, bij deze!!!!

Heb een heel mooi weekend. Veel goed en liefs gewenst. Je Mannes.
