Eva Cassidy - Fields Of Gold Lyrics

[SchleichWhisper]

It's her birthday today (2nd of Feb 2012)

[2kiara2k]

help me!!in which album have eva cassidy published this amazing song??

[mign82]

Call me crazy, but I really think that this version is way better than the original!

[Mowzfc]

Amazingly

[LinkinParaJJluvr]

My dad always says that this is the best version he has ever heard. I'm finally listening to it, and he's definitly right. Truely amazing.

[Florence52007]

@LinkinParaJJluvr

Your dad was right....amazing voice....so sad she's gone xx

[skinsdomination09]

go to 3:25, use headphones, and tell me you don't hear a "help me" being whispered. I swear its there, I would never dishonor Eva or her tremendous music.

[rsbarrett4991]

@skinsdomination09 i listened to it w/out viewing the clock so as to not have my ears produce something out of expectation but rather scroll up high enuf and/or look away from the clock... as it turned out out what u claim to have heard very well could be true; but i also heard it 3 times throughout the song @ 3:25, 3:50 (somewhere int he 3:50's) and one other time... but definitely something to be heard no doubt

[lovethepasserbys]

I cry when I hear this song too...This song kills me and brings me back to life..I wish we could all live forever.

[EmilynZooeyDeschanel]

this song always gets me crying and then when i read the description i was crying so muc i could have filled cups of tears i was that bad xx

[jor660]

Such a beautiful song, pulls all right the strings, what talent, hope she's singing with the angels :)

[briannagirl2234]

I'm doing this song for my dance solo, it's such a pretty song

[Katie1996613]

i never would of found this song if it wernt for my choir teacher.... we are singing this song and its beautiful!!

[TheBersssss]

Always tears by this song.. no words for it..

[111Eva11]

Such a beautiful voice and song. Love it never get tired of hearing it.

[Mybrowngirlie]

Really Awesome song and singing... love it..

[Nana69Banana]

this is such a nice song, i love it ! we always sing this in music class!

[81woot]

Miss you Aunty Susan, love you x

[mjfsuperstar92]

I'm sorry but this sucks. Sting's will always be the best. I'd suggest listening to that one instead.

[ombones1]

The author is NOT unknown. This song was written by STING in 1993 and is on his album called Ten Summoner's Tales.

[inspjackfrost]

@ombones1 The Author of the POEM at the begining is "unknown" everyone should know that Sting wrote the song

[sony27ful]

I love this song! and singer sang it well! gratulations !!!!

[MsNeverGiveUp3]

Very beatiful song...

[BLUEEYES4YOU11]

The first time I heard this song was on the televsion show Everwood. What an amazing voice and talent we lost. She was far to young to die from skin cancer at 32.

[KobinaRock]

Incredibly beautiful! And the memorial poem is as well. (-_-) Thank God she shared her gift with us. Her passing reminding us of life's immense beauty and the paradox of our own mortality. XO Here's to you Eva and here's to life.

[Marizzz125Swed]

This beauteful song gives me tears while listeen to it. Its really beauteful. This is wat i call music :) peace love hapinnes..

[lyricalmaster486]

My absolute favourite song of all time. Can't express how much I love and respect this song and in my opinion, no-one can match her singing it.

[RaeRae914]

@lyricalmaster486 true true true :)

[SlodkaLiv]

ada szulc śpiewa ładniej.! < 3

[SaxySanta777]

@SlodkaLiv ....are you serious ??? You are lucky that nobody on this forum understands what you just have said, and I'm being very gentle giving you only one thumb down.

[rhythm2007mc]

Eva Cassidy = Pure Bliss R.I.P. Sweat Angel

[GirlCheetah100]

This is really good to. But it is also sad that she died so early in life.

[BitchOfTheZodiac1]

TO BOBBI  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jane8fred]

Where did the poem come from that was on the vid? Who wrote it? It was beautiful. Thanks, David :)

[gwendy34]

@jane8fred this is a Sting's song. personnaly, I find the original version is uncomparable...

[inspjackfrost]

@jane8fred The author is unknown, it is a funeral poem. Google it and you will see the full version."If tears could build a stairway"

[jane8fred]

@inspjackfrost Thanks for that, I will. Nice video by the way. All the best, David.

[MrJohnmaciver]

@inspjackfrost you re a moron

[goodthing52]

@MrJohnmaciver Now why would you call him a moron? How could you even come up with that word while listening to this song? ??????

[FERRARIAVI]

I love you!! Dont know if you ever will. But I will love you Saoni! Be happy forever in your life :'( 

[littlewoman744]

I have no idea what to say...overwhelmed!!!

[xoannabanana1xo]

The poem b4 the song is reali sad:,(

[Chris1972H]

I used to sing this for my step father he's seven years passed now and I'm still crying but this time it's a mixture, I still grieve for the man who guided me but I look ahead aswell to the fields of gold I can walk with a beautiful woman who I am now in my last few weeks of seperation from, and have that peaceful feeling that Amy and I will always walk in fields of gold

[SuperManfred55]

Miss you, Eva

[kirstymc1231]

this song will always remind me of my grandad ... i sung this at his funeral RIP i miss you

[LionessLieha]

It hurts! Since i played it on my PowerPoint Presentation to my horse.... I get a wierd feeling inside...( Sorry if there is any misspelled words... Im a swedish)

[clare5131]

this song was playing as i said goodbye to my daughter taina who was stillborn in july 2008 she was blessed and then i cuddled and kissed her for the first and last time listening to eva sing this will always make me cry goodnight godbless sweetheart xx

[wvm521227]

only tears in my eyes, this is awesome

[darrell2626]

No words can tell you of my grief but this song says it all - dad i love you , your ever loving monkey i will always miss you and hope we will be together again.

[TheIzzyable]

It feels like yesterday since my friend died, i sung this at her funeral..

[Misslidka13]

Szkoda, że już nie żyje... :(

Śpiewała przepięknie!

[faith28445]

miss you mom and dad

only daughter faith

[FILTHYJONAS]

It feels like yesterday my brother and I walked across the meadow behind the abandoned house. We laughed and wrestled in the grass ... I felt real brotherly love, I didn't know how much I loved you until the next day, the day that changed my life, myself.

Simon, I know you are up there. Every star on the sky shines for you.. I think of you everyday, I miss you soooo much.... I love you and will allways do, brother.

[pootle35]

no words

[wiljroberts]

RIP NAN LUVZ U

[2233golf2]

far better than the original sting version-way more feeling and true commitment...

as if she sings right from heaven.

so devine.

thanks for posting this!

RIP

[falconcheergirl123]

someone sang this in our leavers assembly just now, and she started crying and couldtn finish without her freinds!

this is an amzing song, and a beautiful video(:

[tam1661]

beautiful song, beautiful voice

[AbbeyD8]

18 people clearly don't have ears. i love this song! its so beautiful! <3

[bezzybecks123]

People these days listen to all the songs about break ups and stuff like that but no-one notices songs with strong messages like this! I'm 15 and in my opinion these songs touch my heart more! <3

[GGMacarthur]

this use to be on the cancer research ad ( uk ) and there was a young lass on there in her wedding dress getting ready for her big day , and she looks at the cam and shes crying coz her dad isnt there , my nan at the time was very ill with cancer , and she said aww that poor lass , so i asked her why she poor she said coz her dads not there with her , this lady how died 3 days after she said i i cant say wht i want coz im so upset she didnt give a heck tht she was dieing love you nan xx

[centralviva]

this is such a beautiful song listen to the lyrics and to how it is sang i love it i want this most amazing song at my funeral

[zIITaLeNTzIIz]

18 people have no heart!

[Archangel9792]

When I think of you, I go back to that day, Friday 5th April. Things were no longer okay. I remember how I locked myself away, I didn't want to come out, After all, you were always there for me, you promised to never go away. So here is my poem for you, Grandad; Hurtful are the hearts that loved you, Silent are the tears that fall, But I know you'll never be forgotten, No. Not ever. Not at all. I love you Keith Barry Middleton. My Grandad. You're my hero. We'll never forget you<3

[katiecharc]

She may have died when I was 1 month and a half old, but I grew up listening to her and I think she has a beautiful voice <3

[darrell2626]

i may not know the answers,

but i know now you are free,

the pain you felt has vanished,

but not the hurt i feel in me.

R.I.P paul thompson, i will always miss you dad , your 13 year old son.

[joshanator1]

My soul is tired!

[TheAfricanSoul]

such a gentle. calm, peaceful voice

[Firstriver333]

@diggyu im in total agreement :')

[diggyu]

i loved the sting versions so much that when my friend inroduced me to eva cassidy who i never even heard of i dismissed it but after some time i went back and listened this is on of the few times where the remake surpasses the original i cant here her version without being reduced to tears have only been able to listen to it twice since 2002 everything in this is flawless makes you not even belive you could reach this depth she took complete control of this and made it into somthing different.

[shannybannydoodleday]

This song brings me back to whenever I was little I remember I used to go I and talk to my auntie then when I was only 13 she got diagnosed with cancer and died one year ago now I entered a talent show and thought of her and I was singing this very song and started to cry on stage rip jacqueline

[8teen9632]

did u know she has a really strong brother .... nick name butch cassidy lol. anywho this song makes me cry so much all my famiy have had it as a funeral song and its in all the living ones wills to be played upon passing ive had 6 deaths in 10 months in my family and this song just makes u remeber how important life is

[copperhead29]

@8teen9632 My sympathies to you and your family. I can't imagine the pain you must be going through with so many lost loved ones in such a short time.

[8teen9632]

@copperhead29 thank you so much u see so much trolling on youtube ur comment has renewed my faith in the human race i hope u have a great life mate

[willisindahouse962]

this song could bring a tear to the toughest man's eye

[darrell2626]

buetifull song

[dsfddsgh]

I always liked liked Sting's version but when i heard this version by Eva for the first time at the 2002 Olympics when Michelle Kwan skated to it it became her song.  No vocal gymnastics or screaming just a master at work.

[ubunturising]

OMG!! This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard!! Just beautiful.. It brought tears to my eyes!!

[glatters90]

that first line of lyrics is perfect

[irishgeal1]

no disrespect to all u who put deaths of one or another of your family and memorys to this song, which i have had,  but eva sang this song live and about real life not about death so treat is as such, eva is the best most soulful singer bar none, period.

[Lizfan2]

I have her cds. She was a good singer. She died way too soon.

[dizzyblud2]

makes me cry every time

[SuperGeoff19]

simply amazing :') x x

[xBonKeRzZHD]

Amazing :(

[admirallordk]

harrowing

[rajlle]

the 18 march this song was preformed at my best friends funeral. I would never listen to this song otherwise. It was so beautifull. I hope he is in a good place now.

[12bbitchin]

To sing this song with such sweet perfection, Eva is The "gold" amongst the fields of barley and a million points of light travelling amongst us . Very Beautiful

[Bigio1980]

I have heard this song...

I have read the lyrics...

and I have started crying....

[GemmaLucy10]

this is a beautiful song and will always stay in my heart, remembering people i've lost.

[tommy55ist]

no farewell words were spoken...no time to say goodbye.... and only God knows why..

RIP eva. we'll walk in the feilds of gold. ♥

[airabaguinan02]

i cant stop crying after i hear this

[Aerohog1]

I'm 62, and a music buff/former musician, and Eva's rendition of this song is the most moving thing I have ever heard. Maybe she had a perfection that mortals are not intended to possess. Rip, Eva, and angels guide you to your rest.

[Gronlund88]

@Aerohog1 yeah since she recorded this when she was already dead

[snickel11]

papa, ik hoop dat je rust hebt daarboven, ik mis je zoveel.... ik wist niet dat mensen zoveel verdriet kunnen hebben. ik hoop je snel te zien

dikke kus van mij, ik hou van je!

[l34wis93]

[cuddlezbabii13]

this song was played at my daughters' funeral :) always brings back some sad and happy memories :) mummy love you babies <3

[rajlle]

@cuddlezbabii13 This song was preformed at my best friends funeral this week by his cousin. I'm sorry about your daughter. It's so hard to lose someone.

[Gronlund88]

@rajlle death is perfectly natural

[BabbyCakkesEmilie]

@cuddlezbabii13 aww this commment made me cry! R.I.P <3 <3

[asterisk17]

@cuddlezbabii13 may she rest in peace. I'm sure she's glad to have a mother like you. :)

[adyluc]

i cry for her sole i cry and i cry in my sole...

[lugiametagross162]

[nickbeth100]

[adamnzac10]

[machico1989]

...yes....we will walk in the fields of gold...just be by my side when that time comes...no matter what had happened....still here and i love you....desfer1995

[lugiametagross162]

My heart still aches with sadness, and secret tears still flow. What it meant to love you - No one can ever know. But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more; To remember all the happy times life still has much in store. Since you'll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today~ A hollowed place within my heart is where you'll always stay.

[jackiedesjardins]

@lugiametagross162 so very sorry for ur loss :( may the great spirit heal you and may you find happyness in your life..we are so very proud of all are lads what they do in afghanistan my he r.i.p, hope you dont mind me saying.. <3

[viva0las0vegas]

@lugiametagross162 awesomeness

[lugiametagross162]

If tears could build a stairway,

and memories a lane.

I would walk right up to Heaven

and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken,

No time to say "Goodbye".

You were gone before I knew it,

and only God knows why.

[lugiametagross162]

rip eva.

[42105]

rip

[randroid88]

Watch the EVA CASSIDY story from ABC News Nightline from 2001 @ abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video­/rainbow--10170062 It is an amazing story, about 18 minutes long, but really inspiring !!

[dagmareszka]

makes me feel home...

[GTCrunch]

I still prefer the Sting version, but this itself is a beautiful song.

[GTCrunch]

I still prefer the Sting version, but this itself is a beutiful song.

[TheOneAndOnlyJazz1]

I really admire Eva Cassidy, It's just a shame shes not longer alive :(

Im learning to play this song on my guitar, so if anyone who can play this can give me any tips, would be great? thanks.

and yet again, a simply beautiful song :')

[vyxanis]

i always get teary when i hear this song. My mum loved Eva and she always played her music while i was growing up. <3

[orvilleboi]

what an amazingly brave woman , with a fantastic voice <3

[mariebillington]

For me there is still no female vocalist around at the moment who evokes such emotion when they sing as Eva. Her voice is crystal clear with a clarity and timbre that are difficult to match. Thanks for the lyrics.

My daughter, sarah billington sings a lovely cover of this pop over if you have 5 mins

[Parmsingh1234]

My God what a voice ! One of the best I've heard.

[vmlnc]

wonderful...thank you Eva...Love to eternity...

[Sloppyff]

Respect and love and thank you Eva.

[Renegade4love]

There are no words

[HelionDark]

this is present surprise i like her voice am little sad she left this world

[talliex]

Eva singing in Heaven .Voice of an angel RIP.x

[JFSwifty]

@SymaskinisteN wow where you get your attitude and opinions from ? back of a Sainsbury's basics lager can perhaps ?

[Mslaurenlovesbieber]

[scumple]

legend, such a beautiful voice..:)

[JFSwifty]

[yogibear7296]

amazing i love this song<3

love from amy r.i.p Eva x

[AndyAngelZ]

don't ever take your life for granted.

live like you'll die today

[GoldiRockzz]

I heard this version on an episode of Dawson's Creek........still a favorite of mine.

[MusicMyLife40]

The beginning and ending text she doesn't sing...

Is that from Bring Me The Horizon?

Totally different genre of music I know but still...

At least I know for sure that they have a song with that lyrics I just don't know if it's really theirs or they took is frome somebody else x]

[PrimateDynasty]

real men masturbate while listening to this song!!

real men watch youtube video on 240p and don't complain!

real men have no gf's, they just keep touching themselves when they feel horny!

real men stab themselves and die a horrible death cause a heartattack ain't so worth dying for!

real men get high and comment on random Youtube videos while listening to Fields of Golds!

[Daggerfall40]

Simply Beautiful. This is the best cover I've ever heard for this song.

[stiw666]

I've heard the song recently for the first time; before I knew only Sting's version. I love Sting, but Eva Cassidy's "Fields of Gold" made me feel the magic, the peace and something that I'm not able to describe... FANTASTIC... I cannot remember if any song before could do this to me... Thank you, Eva... I didn't know anything about her - and now, when I "met" her I've learnt she died in 1996:( I LOVE HER VOICE!!!

[susan78able]

I love this song and Eva's voice it stirs such emotion it just makes you feel like crying. Also shed a tear when I listened to sarah billington singing this mentioned below.

[getlyf22]

I dont know from wat planet i've come. For I dont know Eva Cassidy... My hubby loves dis song until he search dis version.. oh my.. her voice is incredible, calming.. very relaxing! I salute her voice! simply awesome.. now my day is not complete without playing dis song...

[nsminc]

Amazing talent,God bless her soul.
