  • best version !

  • This is stunning - thanks for the link to the Granmarstonberries as I had never heard of them and that is amazing as well. The singer is only 14!?!

  • Can's stop crying when I listening to this song. So wonderful and with so much meaning!

    thumbs up if you're listening in 2011/2012!!!

  • Love this song, my mum's name is Eva. My dad used to play this. I love this song.... Emotional.

  • I looooove this song!! :'D

  • <3

    

  • I like this version best! <3 Eva <3

  • Sting version is the best for me. But I have to say that this version is amazing and very emotional. Thank you Eva

  • ninaellie i am thinking of you.

  • @shireperson I can sorta relate to you, though I always was the kid with a lot of friends with seemingly everything. But this was just a mask, to conceal hurt from my family situation. Now, at the university, I have a lot of 'friends' but they don't really know me, and it feels fucking lonely... When I hear Eva, and in particular this song, I dream of this beautiful place where everything is nice. I'm also only 19, but life has been hard. But it'll get better, I'm certain of it

  • 'Alone And Asleep' by Oh Sam Bin Laden - controversial new publication.

  • Until I heard Eva's rendition, I thought Sting's version was best. Fields of Gold by Eva is simply hauntingly moving. Bless all of you who are troubled, ill, sad, feeling loss, or lonely. I hope you find comfort and healing. If it helps, you are not alone. There are still real humans on Earth, although it can be hard to tell sometimes. Listening to this song, you have to admit it was created by pain and wistfulness but love too.

  • I had to sing this 5 years ago in choir i still love it.

  • this is so much better than sting's version! i love this! :) xx

  • i love this song so much

    

  • I wish I were making this up. Beginning of this week I was diagnosed with bone cancer. I left the oncologist's office and got back to my car somehow. Turned on the engine and the radio started. This song was playing.

  • @ninaellie Stay strong. my grandpa has cancer aswell :( <3

  • @ninaellie aw im so sorry to hear that :( xx

    be determined to fight- true fact the more you fight the more chance of survival the less determination the more chance of failure. <3

  • who is actually disliking this!!!?

  • This song is so beautiful. We used it for the opening off mums funeral.I had never heard it b4 then but carnt stop playing it now. Its going to be Mums song forever!! I miss u so much mum. Im so alone without you. The pain hurts so much. Love u Mum xxxx

  • @musclejive So sorry for your loss. This will be played on Thursday 8th September at the funeral of my dear mother in law. I too have not stopped listening to it since my father in law told us it was chosen. Love to you and your family. It is painful but hopefully alongside pain will be memories of happiness during her life.

    xxxx

  • @shireperson I hear you, you'll learn how to just deal with it though. I'm 24 and it only gets harder, but you grow as you live. Hang in there hon, it'll get easier, or you'll just stop caring.

  • Ada też pięknie wykonała ten utwór :) !!!

  • R.I.P Grandma, soon 1 year ago you left us... you will always be in our heart.

    I love you! <3

  • @tomcardello This song does that to me each time I hear it:(

    So nice to hear a comment from a guy like you.........real guys do show emotion!

  • You died so young you have a beautiful and this song will live on such a beautiful song when i think about my nana this song pops into my head and i sing away with it :(..

  • @tomcardello - don't feel bad about getting emotional on the Eva Cassidy 'Fields of Gold' song. it still gets to me and I've listened to it many, many times for the last 7-8 years. just shows what good taste we both have.

  • found Eva Cassidy long ago and at the time thought "where has the wonderful, beautiful voice been that I hadn't heard it before?". sad to say was unaware the lovely Miss Eva had died years before. but since that time have purchased every cd I could find and enjoy her magical vocals on a regular basis. this Sting classic is one of the few times where (I believe) a remake out-does the original. luv this version the best. thanks for posting. beautiful, haunting.

  • @shireperson you hang in there kid, stuff will go right in the end.theres allways somone worse off than you.things never went right for me till me 20's.

  • this song lets my head swell, get this feeling to swallow,goose bumps all over my body and my eyes brim with water and i cant say i fully understand the song but daaaaam!

  • I have always loved Eva Cassidy singing this song. It also reminds me of Israel where we used to play it a lot.

  • Ohhhhhhhhhhhh................Ś­piewałam to na konkursie

  • crying.

    

  • I like this song ! <3

  • THIS IS THE SONG TO MY WONDERFUL MOTHER IN LAW! GOD I MISS YOU!XXX

  • Amazing interpretation of a classic song! For me its one of those where the cover is better than the original. Life is not fair. Why did Eva have to leave this world so soon? This song sure make you think about things.

  • May you always walk in those fields..I, as well as other music addicts, will always have a special room in our hearts for the very very few musicians like you..immortal ;-)

  • The most simple and stunning lyrics of any song. It shouldn't be sad, it should be evoke a sense of peace and hope. Eva was truely beautiful in every sense of the word.

  • she makes me cry EVERY TIME!!! i love her :`(

  • Its a lovely song but its all tumours and sadness... I feel so sad with it...

  • This song means alot. Please check out my cover. :)

  • How was this recorded in 1997 when she died in 1996?

  • @efcdom1878 it was released in 1997 I think,

  • @anneliecarolina the album 'Live at blues valley' was released in 1996. after Eva's death the studio album' Eva by heart' was released. it includes this song as well. read Wiki!

  • so beautiful - no other words needed

  • Comment removed

  • a legend in every sense. a voice in a billion and such a shame she was taken before the world got to hear her natural ability and spine chilling ability.

  • @shireperson keep your chin up Budd, its the same with me, but the best friend you can have some times is yourself, Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: "I am with you kid. Let's go."

  • @shireperson You Have Friends in us. At least you recognize the good. That is more than most can do.

    You Will Walk In Fields Of Gold.

  • I'm getting teary eyed listening to this beautiful song, sad that she was taken too soon. Beautiful song!

  • This was sung by my cousin at my nan's funeral. Brings back all the good memories I have of her.

  • Every song Eva performed sound like it was her own original songs since she has such an emotional & powerfull voice !!!

    May she Rest in Peace & her soul will take us all to Heaven !!!

    God bless & Long Live the U.S !

    Gavriel, from Jerusalem, Israel !

  • Wow an amazing voice!

  • Fantastic song and an even better voice !

  • An absolutley beautiful voice

  • will you stay with me?

  • how did she die?

  • @niamhybbz She had malignant melanoma (skin cancer). It spread to her bones.

  • this is my all time fave song ever..fantastic singer..so sadly missed ((haunting) beautiful

  • Watch the EVA CASSIDY STORY from ABC News Nightline from 2001 @ abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video­/rainbow--10170062 It is very sad, but very inspiring.

  • Who are the Demented Dozen cretins who voted to dislike this wonderful effort by the late great Eva C., perhaps the Gordon Summoner (Sp.?) International Fan Club voting in their entirety?!?! This is amazing, not unlike her musical output in general, Rest In Peace Eva Cassidy, your talents are MISSED!

  • @9erfandex The story goes that when Sting heard her version of this song he cried.He loved it that much.

  • @lordnuck33 Thanks for the insight!

  • no politics, i would like to dedicate this to the fallen of the british army

  • @gyplotter Why just the British ( I am British) but I am not proud of it.I would like to dedicate to all the innocent Germans that Churchill ordered slaughtered; all the innocent Askhenazi Jews who had not a clue why they were slaughtered;the 120 million Russians slaughtered by the Rothschilds controllers last century and to the most innocent Afghans and Iraqies, Cambodian etcand man made AIDS victims but the least of all to the British.

  • @gisellewilding What the fuck does this have to do with this song? Are you Walter Sobchak or what?

  • makes me cry everytime...just too beautiful for words!

  • this should not have a dislike button, its just beautiful.

  • Eva is sensational!

  • Sting wrote the song but Eva sings it way better :)

    @mariebillington your daughter has a remarkable voice for 15 nurture it well

  • Beautiful.. And the 12 who disliked.. Well Why?

  • Perfect! - Sting does not have the same soul in his voice - he just sings with the same monotone voice through the whole song like in all his songs - no comparison whatsoever with the voice of an angle like Eva's

  • This song is so beautiful

  • Sting did this first, and better.

  • @archona4 Sting did not do this first - Eva Cassidy wrote the song herself. Sting's version is dull and soulless.

  • @valmum1 Nope, sorry she didn't. She didn't write much of anything she sang actually.

  • @archona4 : Eva lends an angelic air to the song. This is an old Goan

     folk song. Both do a great job on this one. Eva brings a tear

    to my eye,as usual.

  • Wonderful voice but too much phrasing.

  • The female equivalent of Tim Buckley . Just awesome.

    

  • such an amazing voice.... sad that we wont have more songs sung by eva in the future.... but we can aways enjoy and cherish what we have of her

  • r.i.p eva what a warm sound of your voice has left us too early.

  • this song makes me feel very emotion becuase its such a beauitful song , none can ever take rip out of this song

  • beautiful song

  • beautiful, such a talented lady, what a shame she died so young

  • love it sounds abit stupid but i have picked this as my funeral song

  • What a lady! Loved her and her stunning music so much!! :) One of the ALL TIME greatest US Artists !! xxxx

  • Simply beautiful.

  • This song is so peaceful and amazing!<3 Love it♥

  • This might be the first absolutely PERFECT song! Wow.

  • You can convert this or any youtube video to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

  • GOD ALWAYS TAKES THE BEST FIRST BUT SHE HAS LEFT US WITH A LOVELY GIFT! WITH THANKS EVA. XXXX

  • close your eyes, open your heart and this voice will make your soul fly

  • Comment removed

  • I never cried during a lot of songs. Her voice is of that of an angel.

  • How on earth could 11 people dislike this?

  • @Jayravchan because they dont know , so have pity on them its their lose

  • The way that Eva sings/sang this always calls up so much emotion for so many who heard her. Even Sting said that her version made him tear up. Her version brings back memories of the past for me that Sting's version never did. She put so much feeling into everything that I've heard her sing.

  • this version is better than Sting's!

  • never thought i would hear a version of this song that I would like better than stings.

  • Very emotional song!

  • always reminds me of my old horse who died in 2003- his field was full of buttercups up to my waist, he used to love to walk through them

  • @burrswood I cried when I read this.. so sad :( poor you and your horse, too! :( <3

  • @burrswood What a beautiful song to pick as a tribute to your horse.......I can almost picture him:)

  • greatest song bird ever. I have always loved her music.

  • How could someone thumbs down this?

    Ya know what, doesn't even matter. Eva was and is beautiful and Youtube doesn't need to tell us that.

  • Beautiful voice, one you can't forget. sadly she died so young,

    but what she left is amazing. One of the flowers God gave to

    humanity. Thank You!

  • this amazing song reminds me of my beloved Grandmother who passed away in 2009...R.I.P. I miss her so much

  • this song means to me being healthy in heaven instead of sick on earth... :(

  • This song is beautiful..<3

  • can someone tell what happen to eve

  • @jkallan1 When she was 33, she died because of a cancer :o/

  • Gets me every time... I miss you Eva.

  • love it

    x

  • So beautiful - the lady and the song. I can't think of anything lovelier! Eva just gets right down to one's soul.

  • Eva , you can touch my heart so deep! What a wonderful voice... So sad that you're gone...

  • One of my all time favourite songs

  • Taken way too soon from us. Voice of an angel, and that's who she's with now. Rest in Peace Eva x

  • this song goes so deep

  • I Love this song it evokes such emotion and means so many different things to many people, as do most of Eva's songs, simply beautiful.

    Sarah Billington (my daughter) sings a lovely haunting version of this as well.

  • @mariebillington  Marie, your daughter has a wonderful voice :)

  • @shadowfax371 Thank you

  • @mariebillington cool story bro

  • @mariebillington You really get around huh? First the Whitney videos now this. lol PROMOTE PROMOTE PROMOTE your daughter.

  • @mariebillington - Sting is the original ...and better.

    This is good, but not as good as Sting.

  • @archona4 I disagree, Sting is a very good vocalist but just does not have the timbre and crystal clear clarity of Eva

  • @mariebillington - Glad to know. I disagree with you again. See, it's funny how different people have different opinions.

    In comparison to Sting, this version is just 'ok'. She's changed the rhythm, the tempo and the inflections WAY too much.

  • @archona4 yes she did change the arrangement quite a lot but for the better IMO, guess we will have to agree to disagree

  • This is the most beautiful song :)

  • I remember when I first heard this version: Michelle Kwan skating to it at the 2002 Olympics. It was then and still is now a beautiful version!!!!

  • makes me cry

  • this song always moves me...

  • How did she die?

  • @Angelofcupcakes She died of Melanoma - Skin Cancer at the age of 33 on 2/11/96. RIP an amazing vocalist. Her singing will survive the tests of time, idol crap and X-factor crap will come and go, music like Eva Cassidy will live forever.

  • omg this is just so beautiful, it makes me cry and I'm not sure why I'm a 61 yo guy kind of a tough guy. I hear this and I cry like a baby. LOL

  • @tomtone1 Nothing to be ashamed of, it's a very moving piece.

  • @richie616799 thanks man, our local high school had an acapella group that sang this and the lead girl that sang this got killed in a car crash. Really gets to me

  • love this song a lot!! RIP eva...

  • so beautiful !!! I love this song ! my favorite by Eva Cassidy...

  • One of my favourite female vocalists, what a tragic loss

  • beautiful song, beautiful voice. such a tragic loss

  • I always remember this song from that cancer research advert... <3

  • always reminds me of the lost loved ones , the ones i was too slow or self possessed to see

  • I find myself listening to this now after the end of a struggled relationship, thank god there's Eva.

  • Bekomm dabei immer das heulen...
