The first time I heard Autumn Leaves couldn't believe how Eva voice is so pure and beautiful. Each song she sing carried the emotions of a generation. All we have is her music and I think
Because of her beautiful voice and her untimely death, this song has a very sad quality! I can't listen to it without tears in my eyes and sadness in my heart! But I have to listen!
C'mon....You are all sitting in a pool of tears right now. ( Well ...I am anyway ). I agree with The Unsnobbed totaly. There is definitely, Something very Special about Eva's voice. Maybe its the emotions experienced in a hundred lifetimes before, allowing her to express herself in song, so beautifully. I dont know.
I do know that no one else sounds like her. I like to think that she had the freedom to sing as Eva, rather than anybody else. ( I thank God for that ).
Yes this music, or rather the way it is performed, really touches the soul. It is profound and sublime in it's simple beauty and a true and rare gift. I feel the same about Eva's performances of 'Danny Boy' (which, without fail, always makes me cry) and 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'. I can only listen to this music when I am totally alone.
WoW!!! She's incredible. Wherever she is, she is kept alive by the continuation of her beautiful sound. Sound and Light...That is what keeps her spirit alive. Thank You for this beautiful tribute!!
This was recorded live, but I can imagine what the conversation in the studio would've been if recorded there. Eva: "How was that? Do we need to do another take?" Studio Engineer: "Nope, I think that'll do."
I agree with ThUnsnobbed. Just discovered her, and had a good cry hearing this song, already a favorite of mine from Sting, but Eva's version moved me more and I heard the lyrics in ways I had not before.
Fortunately, we have recordings of Eva's incredible talent following her untimely death. This song is available on her 'Songbird' CD. It's the first one I've owned - and still the best. The woman was amazing in her earthly body. Can you visualize her, and her incredible voice, in Heaven? I imagine her as God's Choir Director.
WOW. What an amazing legacy she has left. I have never heard of her and was just doing a search for a song I'm going to perform soon. I just have to hear more....
@justforfunparties Yes, for sure - you should check out some more of Eva's songs. She not only has the most amazing vocal range, but also superb vocal control too (many of the recordings we have following her untimely death were just from live performances or small studios). Add to that her ability to apparently effortlessly sing an eclectic mix of songs, and put her own interpretation on those songs that beat the originals and you have one of the best singers of 20th Century
She is definitely one of the best singers of all time. I am so sad that she has passed. Only first heard of her about 5 years ago. Every song that she covers, and I mean every single one, she actually improves on the original.
Unequaled. Sting may have written and popularized the song. Eva elevated it to an unsurpassed level. May you rest in peace, lovely and graceful person that you are.
She sang her heart out here. A lesson in singing extremely well, without an ounce of bullshit. Sting, of course, wrote a beautiful song and sang it well, as is his habit. But she sang her truth and this is her song to me. That said, I can't stop listening to Dark Eyed Molly.
go to 3:24 and tell me you don't hear a "help me" being whispered. if you cant hear it use headphones. I swear its there. I would never dishonor Eva or her tremendous music.
For me, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I know it's Sting's song but Eva's combination of voice, guitar, phrasing etc. here is unsurpassed. To think that she did this outside of a studio, at a live performance is amazing. When I meet people who know and love her work, I know I've met someone who truly appreciates good music. Eva doesn't need any hype to sell her music, it sells itself.
Sem palavras... Harmonia perfeita entre letra, melodia e interpretação!!! Me emocionei muito ao escutar essa canção hoje!!! Algumas lembranças se tornam inevitáveis... Isso é o que consigo captar sobre "A voz do coração"... E a Eva Cassidy tinha esse dom!!! Cantar com alma e coração!!! Que Deus a tenha!!! E que ela cante entre os anjos!!!
Does anyone notice that there are some mirror images in this video? You'll see the neck of the guitar pointing to the right, and then towards the end it is pointing to the left. You see the Blues Alley logo in the background is a mirror image also.
I just discovered this brilliant woman. I'm sad to learn she died in 1996 of cancer and the world discovered her talent after her death. I'm not a man who easily becomes emotional, especially when listening to songs but, there's something in this woman's voice and her selection of songs that melts me and I find myself a bit choked up. I thought I was emotionally numb to this world until I heard this woman sing. Thank you Eva Cassidy. I wish I knew of you before.
@TheUnsnobbed I think your, my and all of our experiences after listening to & learning of Eva Cassidy is perhaps why she left so quickly. I can't help but feel a sense of grace when I listen. The more I learn, the more it vibrates. I wonder if she was an old soul reincarnated - slacking ego/need for attention. Wanting only to sing, be, share. I've been profoundly changed by her life & death. Agels waiting for wings ahead of her are stepping aside so she moves 2 front of the line
J'ai découvert cette chanteuse que très récemment , un lien qui ma conduit a elle sur youtube .je suis tombée littéralement en amour avec cette femme ,cette voie sublime .Je fus attristé ,moi qui venais juste de la découvrir d'apprendre quelle était décéder . j'ai lu sa biographie .j'ai regardé toute les vidéo live ,ce sont eux que j'affectionne particulièrement c'est comme si je pouvais sentir son âme a travers ces chansons .Merci!
The most beautiful song ever sung, by one of the most beautiful voices that have ever lived...& died far too early. I sob everytime I hear it. It just grabs hold of you & shakes your soul down to it's very core. Just lovely.
I don't care what your thinking but this is BETTER than Sting's original. This song belongs to Eva, just like Time after time... Here are real feelings, which I can't find in Sting's voice.
4 fucking reatards dislike this song....i dont' really understand people who dislike an eva songs.Independently from the kind music that you listen.If you don't like her songs you have a ZERO choice in music.She's one of the best female voices I've listened in my life,she was a true talent.Probably one day someone has decided that she was too much perfect for to stay in life....that day the music has lost one its daughters.
when I have had a bad day I go home, put her album on and relax....her beautuful voice is the best antidote I know......I wish I cold have seen her sing live!
Eva's performances never fail to move me. She really knew what music was all about, an expression of emotion. Her renditions are unique and inimitable.
hi im 11 years old and my mum and me and my sis absoloutly loves eva cassidy and mum and i really wanted to see her in concert she is amazing and mum wants an eva cassidy song at her funeral!!!
This is one of the best montages I have seen on YouTube.com. Well done. I have loved Eva's voice ever since the first time I ever heard it playing on a roommate's CD player. Thank you for this.
I've just discovered this remarkable lady and I'm entirely enchanted. She was a musician and arranger in every sense of those words. She made songs her own, in her own way -- a way that just stuns even the original songwriters, I'm sure. Thanks for this great montage.
She was simply amazing. I wish I'd known about her before she passed. Her versions of songs are now my favorite versions of those songs. A true gift to the world.
1958beachbum pls choose correct words and dont teach me who is the author of this song which i dont dispute. I just prefer this version with all due respect to Sting. So, think twice before offend anyone. Relax and have a good day.
An awesome performance. She owns this song.... no matter who wrote it. An unequalled redition. Eva's voice and expression have no equal. We miss her so. May God have received her as the angel she is.
@cockneymark "They" didn't take her...listen very carefully to the words of this song, although not written by her. She has a beautiful voice, and GOD wants Angels singing to him....what does that voice sound like? never blame God for a loss, blame satan for giving a constant struggle until the loss in immanent. God will have his day, and on that one, I bwet her voice will ring like a thousand Angels!!

WATCH THE EVA CASSIDY STORY FROM NBC NEWS NIGHTLINE FROM 2001 @ABCNEWS.GO.COM/NIGHTLINE/VIDEO/RAINBOW--10170062 IT IS 18 MINUTES LONG, BUT WILL BRING YOU TO TEARS. AN AMAZING VOICE !!
@randroid88 It's ABC News, and it's still to be found on the Nightline website if you search for it. That program is a real piece of poetry, hats off to Dave Maresh and all who helped produce it. And to Eva, when your soul has had enough rest, I hope you get to sing for a billion years.
@Dayepipes Type in abcnews.go.com/nightline/video/rainbow--10170062 and the Eva bio will play. If I try and copy and paste this site it won't work for some reason. But you are right, this will bring you to tears. I heard it was the most requested Nightline show ever.Wonderful piece!

@cockneymark "They" didn't take her...listen very carefully to the words of this song, although not written by her. She has a beautiful voice, and GOD wants Angels singing to him....what does that voice sound like? never blame God for a loss, blame satan for giving a constant struggle until the loss in immanent. God will have his day, and on that one, I bwet her voice will ring like a thousand Angels!!

@Equalizer919 I probably screwed up when I left the caps on. The Nightline Eva Cassidy story is FREE. Sorry

@randroid88 It's ABC News, and it's still to be found on the Nightline website if you search for it. That program is a real piece of poetry, hats off to Dave Maresh and all who helped produce it. And to Eva, when your soul has had enough rest, I hope you get to sing for a billion years.

@Dayepipes Type in abcnews.go.com/nightline/video/rainbow--10170062 and the Eva bio will play. If I try and copy and paste this site it won't work for some reason. But you are right, this will bring you to tears. I heard it was the most requested Nightline show ever.Wonderful piece!

@randroid88 Thank you for the abc news link. That was incredible. For anyone else: If you copy and paste it you just need to remove the '%20' that is added after the word 'video' in the URL and it will then work

To those who have lost love-ones.
Thank the lord you took the chance to live.
I say love it is a flower & you the only seed.
When the night has been to lonely, and the road has been to long, and you think that love is only for the lucky & the strong,.
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, lies the seed that with the suns love in the spring becomes a ROSE.
Vero Amore non morirà

@mytune123: There is no lord. We were born simply because our parent's DNA insisted upon it. Without our permission, I might add.
The seed is only to made to make another seed. Love is false. Trickery. However, I love Eva. Good day.
