  • This song is so beautifull

  • This is definitely crazy.!! I think her voice is not human voice, but an angel voice.

    I still couldn't believe what I've got here..

    This is such an amazing voice..

    I wonder if I can find a better version than this..

  • I love this song. Played it at my Grandad's funeral when I was 8, was his favourite song and I can see why; so beautiful and beautifully sung by Eva <3

  • Way, way, way better than the fat piggy Adele!!

  • I could cry this is such a beautiful voice

  • Beautiful well done!

  • 2 great 2 be 4 gotten.

  • R.I.P MOM

  • This was my mums all time favorite song and performance, she sadly passed away on December 11 2011 and we played this at her funeral and this will always stay with me until the day passes for me, i hope she enjoyed it.

  • @YZFyamaha1R1-I get emotional every time I hear Eva sing this song. Over the years, I have sat and played this song again and again. I would not be surprised if Eva and your mum were listening together?

  • beautiful. i guess she died.. thats sad:( i do like the original better bet this is chillness to the max as well

  • beautiful song, very very touching Eva Cassidy has an amazing voice

  • Its not just the timing and harmonies it is the arrangements of each song enhanced by her amazing voice that is unequalled. This powerful recording is typical of a famous song greatly improved by a sweet and irreplaceable talent. You will be missed but never forgotten.

  • The 228 people that don't like this song must be either deaf or just plain stupid this song is breathtakingly beautiful.

  • amazing , Bravo Eva ! You take my heart away...

  • greatest ever female version the depth and warmth in eva's voice second to none ,

    though the best ever version is by a male, frank sinatras favourite artist mr matt monro

    unbelievable version .

  • Definitely best performance of somewhere over the rainbow ever!

  • My favourite line - "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, high above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me" The way she sings it is phenomenal.

  • goosebumps at 3.44 -what a stunning voice Eva had, simply beautiful.

  • Das ist mein absolutes Lieblingslied. Die Version von Eva Cassidy liebe ich besonders.Das ist ein sehr schönes Video mit traumhaft stimmigen Bildern! Dankeschön für diese liebevolle Präsentation.

  • @Lewis3265

    Thats not realy better than the version from IZ.

  • If only the place we all go when we die would be near rainbows!!!! Wonderful song,Wonderful Eva Cassidy!!!!

  • L'histoire d'un homme qui tombe*

  • @chiselnips

    C'est l'histoire qui tombe d'un immeuble de cinquante etages. Au fur et a mesur de sa chute, il se repete, pour se rassurer, "jusqu'ici, tout va bien. Jusqu'ici, tout va bien. Jusqu'ici, tout va bien." Mais l'importance, c'est pas la chute. C'est l'atterrisage.

  • posted me singing this i love this song...hope it posted properly

  • Too true !

    Time is short

    The end of the age approaches rapidly.

    Time still remains to repent and be saved.

  • I've just reconnected to Eva music...I shall never leave it again. Each note on all her songs...carry you along with her... and you enjoy the adventure... from beginning to end...

  • I suppose its God who needs these amazing people more than we do? one of the purest vocals since Karen Carpenter! and she is with him as well :) Love and Peace to all XXXX

  • Beautiful song by a beautiful lady. Reminded me of a good friend I lost last year. Miss her loads. I'd say she's doing the Eva Cassidy thing over the rainbow now. Peace :) Thanks for posting Casa Lucita. Truly awesome. Way2go.

  • A beautiful song from a beautiful lady. So talented. Lost way too soon.

  • Merry Christmas Star xxx 

  • Thumbs up if you think this is the most beautiful video and singer on the planet....

  • Been surfing around u tube, listening to some voices...but somehow, some way, I always find myself coming back to Eva...

  • Nice :-)

  • <3

  • This little lady with the amazing voice got taken too early.....I hope she is walking through fields of gold...Eva, take my mums hand, she will look after you...look after my dad.....wait for me, I would love to hear you sing.................. xxxxxx

  • Beautiful video and song. It's hard to sing too--I tried in 9th grade drama class and was horrible. Way to go, Eva!

  • Comment removed

  • Un video meraviglioso, una voce meravigliosa

    lei è uno dei colori dell'arcobaleno.

    Aurora

  • So beautiful!

  • i sing this to my little cuz when he starts to cry, he shuts right up.

  • played this at my grandads funeral, this song is always in my heart

  • I dedicate this beautiful piece of music to my beloved grandmother who passed away exactly one year ago.

    I miss her so much, and I hope she walks hand in hand with my grandfather somewhere over the rainbow right now

    <3

  • she was an angel

  • Only EC does it to me

    The prettiest ,most unaffected, emotive voice .I listen in stunned silence.

    Not in my 64 years have I been so lifted to another plane.

  • Long live Eva, 4ever until the end.You soar above the clouds & though you may not have had the fame & glory when you lived as you do now.Somewhere Up there, you know the meaning of true happiness, As you gave us true joy,, We will never forget you, with a voice like your's, it's impossible. Keep us smilling from up above, & know that now & then, a tear in 33 2 a 103 year old man!, Keep singing 2 god, You bring a deep void. You are, simply put, The Greatest female voice & talented Guitarist ever

  • buautiful song buaitifal womam and buautifal angel, 26 what kind of age is that to die at if you turned the number around that would still be to young thank you Eve wherever you are, llove and hugs to you and to your mum for giving us such a lovely woman with a great voice.

  • Wonderful voice! Pretty...

  • R.I.P to my grannies Eunice and Sara R.I.P to my aunties Millie and Audrey R.I.P to my uncle jack R.I.P To my best friend and most beautiful friend, Molly.i love and think of every single of you each day I miss you all especially you Molly Please take care of uncleAlex as he join you

    G-d blessed me not with an angel but the opportunity to have spent years of my life with inspirations like you

    This year I need no angel on a tree all because I have my own shining down from heaven and protecting me

  • The only one very best version <3 Eva skies are blue..!

  • sexy

  • i use to listen to this song as well as mad world by gary jules before christmas, guess that time has come again

  • Incredibly beautiful!

    Nothing else to say.

  • @TheHeartguzzeler

    Get rid of the profanity and people may listen to you. This is a reverent song from a reverent person. Show some respect...

  • She has the most beautiful voice I have ever had. She REALLY puts her soul into this unlike Norah Jones, Norah Jones sucks poo. I LOVE EVA CASSIDY.

  • May the lord guide your soul Eva . .. .

  • i totally love this!..

  • shes with mom+dad

  • 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'... with a picture of 'Jonathan Livingstone Seagull' on the cover. Wow... what a privilege 'EXISTENCE' is... and to have had the grace to experience this.

  • Beautiful. Truly a gift she had. Sad that she was taken so early :(

  • I will never get over the loss of Eva and the incredible beauty of her voice....

  • The good die young. I lament the loss of Eva but the lesson to learn is to support young singers and to record them to preserve their wonderful performances. Eva is priceless. There are other jewels out their. Paul McCartney said that youtube is the greatest benefit for young singers in his lifetime. Support net neutrality or risk losing these jewels.

  • The voice of an angel...just beautiful!

  • What a privilege... to have witnessed it... ♥

  • " Oh,there is something in that voice that reaches.The innermost recesses of my spirit..."

    Now Eva is over the rainbow,but her lovely songs are still with us

  • R.I.P you're so amazing your music makes me cry, <3

  • <3

  • love

  • It's as if she went "well its been 3:38 sec, i better make the hairs on the backs of their necks stand up now"

  • Comment removed

  • ive just been listening to leona lewis and seen alll the positive comments,and then i thought to myself who could top this woman(leona lewis) and here i am,eva cassidy AMAZING,,

  • Heard this on an obscure FM station here in NJ one evening just as I was about to turn my car off and enter my house. I never liked this song, but sat transfixed. When the station didn't announce her name I ( had never heard of her), I actually called 411 to get the station's number. So glad I discovered her, but sad to hear that she passed in 1996 at the tender age of 33. What a talent lost to the world! I pray she be in the presence of Christ eternally.

  • Eva, gone too soon

  • She is somewhere over the rainbow.

  • I love this song, I'm just sobbing right now. I want this song at my funeral when it's my time. It's so sad knowing Ms. Cassidy is gone after I'd found her music here. But she's somewhere over the rainbow watching over her loved ones I'm sure.

  • No cure for my obsession with Eva's voice

    I need my regular fix

  • beautiful

  • the emotion that comes through her voice is heartbreaking.

  • beautiful, if only there was a place over the rainbow like that, i would love to live there..

  • just beautiful....

  • Great to see this video is still doing so well, I made it my favourite about three years ago, and still come to watch it, when feeling down, it works everytime

  • She's amazing... so beautiful...

  • Have all her music, a voice from heaven

  • absolutly beautiful.... love this version xx :D

  • This recording speaks to the soul and it doesn't get any better than that.

  • why do people who sing this die

    

  • @skelo100 I'm pretty sure everybody dies.

  • @skelo100 Holy shit, i sang this two days ago O.o

  • @skelo100

    Its appointed to man... once to live and to die...after that the judgment...weather we have a voice like Eva...or just receive enjoyment from listening....we all will have to take that path.

  • @skelo100 everyone dies.

  • @MrCaptainSr79

    Not me, I plan on living forever. So far I'm doing great.

  • she died right before this song and my music teacher cried when he was listening to this whne he was in england truely a great master piece

  • Definately the best version of this song

  • most beautify voice that ever lived :)

  • My Mum's favourite song, we played it at her funeral. Makes me cry every time I hear it.

  • 215 people havent went through a hard time in their life and cant relate to this song

  • just about the one song that can make me cry:'(

  • Wonderful voice, I love it.

  • i feel peace, i feel eternity, i feel soul from a heaven-sent angel.

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written

  • Najpiękniejsze wykonanie tego utworu,głos Evy bije wszystkie głosy jakie słyszałam nie na głowę ale na wszechświat!!!No i muzyka taka delikatna ,wysublimowana ,można zachwycać się bez końca.Szkoda ,że nie ma już tak zachwycającej osobowości muzycznej.

  • Beautiful song ;)

  • Beautiful

  • I listen to heavy metal, but this brings tears to my eyes..

  • @MetallicaSox same here mate :'(

  • Dear Eva

    I miss you as though you left us yesterday

    Your soulful voice takes me to another place.

    Has it been 15 years since you left us ??

    You are especially remembered at this time.

    Feb 2 1963 --- Nov 2 1996

  • This song is so great... rest in peace mom!

  • r.i.p for tomorrow eva cassidy, you're greatly missed you was such a talented person, people like you don't deserve to die.. bad things always happen to good people. 15 years tomorrow you haven't been here. lots of love you inspire me. <3

  • 214 obviously dont like rainbows....or music

  • What an incredible voice. Beautiful. What a loss yes, but what a gift Eva gave us before her early departure: her enchanting soulful voice. 

  • Hope Phil is doing much better.Hy

  • An angel who has gone home.

  • Beautiful! 

  • Zo Mooi Echt Omg ZO GOED!! this is so good.. I am speechless.

    some say this is good!

    Tears in my eyes because there are things to play with my familly disease and as I listen this song brings me back to rest and I can do all this straight.

  • Thank you for this contribution. You are so well-written - a pleasure to read.

    Any comments by me relating to Eva would be, simply, inadequate.

  • Truly beautiful. Rest in peace Eva, thank you for sharing your amazing talent xl

  • I accidently clicked the dislike button, intending to add this to my favorites, so there is one dislike response for which I sincerely apologize.

  • Eva has a LIVE version of this song "live at Pearls"

    Also crystal clear IMHO as good or better than this.

  • 212 people never made it over the rainbow.

  • Eva Cassidy was really a song bird!!!

  • Thinking of the loss of Eva, I'm comforted by an article I once read about her. One of her close friends was saying Eva, as shy as she was, would have hated the attention and invasion of privacy that stardom would have brought her. Now, the friend said, her music has reached so many people but Eva never had to deal with the nonsense.

    The CD should have had a notice: do NOT listen to this while driving or doing anything that requires clear vision!

  • i love her so much, she died when she was 30 of cacer before she was a big hit, radio 4 in England played her song when she had died and then she got big, because she was only known in Washington, so she never knew she was famous, thinking and praying for you Eva.

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX­XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  • Sing my Angel of Music.

  • may god bless your soul

  • What an empty landscape without Eva Cassidy !

    She was very brave and patient during her illness

    Now she is over the rainbow...

  • @justynaija

    Simply astonishing and the most moving ballad I have ever heard. I'm a bloke and this brings me to tears because it brings back the wonderful memories of my Mum.

  • @EAM936 You are right.One of the most moving ballads ever.Many wonderful songs remind us about those people who are "over the rainbow".

    Your Mum,my Mum....only memories...Memories are always wonderful !

    Greetings from Poland and...thank you !

  • @EAM936 Me too. I've lost both my parents, and I cry everyday.

  • @justynaija  What a beautiful landscape she created for us to experience. Try to be joyful.

  • Wow...

  • Beauty in voice and spirit...eva.

  • From my understanding, Eva was brought to the attention of the general public by none other than Terry Wogan on his radio show. Immediate success world-wide was the result of his introduction to this wonderful girl. Reading the many comments here this eveing, and especially to those who have lost loved ones, God bless you. I'm not a religious man, but I couldn't think of anything better to express my sincere feelings to you all. Smudge xx

  • CAn anyone tell me why I cant listen to this on my youtube?

  • Only after losing loved ones we realise how fragile life can be..Like this beautifull song sung by this amazing girl we too lost the proudest part of our lives when our daughter left in an instant..hearing this lovely version of the song our tears run thinking of our lovely daughter..She took the brightness of each day with her..Sleep gently our precious girl...Mum Dad

  • Sadly i was one of the many people who didnt discover eva until she was gone.

    i remember going through my parents music stash and finding evas CD when i was about 8, i immediately fell in love. When im having bad days i just listen to her calming voice and her originaltiy. Her soul will live on with her music.

  • eva's ability to ad lib some keys but never lost the original notes is similar to an eagle soaring in vast skies but never lost in coming her original home.what a talent!

  • mega renditionof this talented; her imitators are second rate.

  • I love love love this.

  • i swing from Eva's version to Big Ize's, two brilliant versions....

  • Thanks for posting this. I love Eva's rendition of this song. I saddened me to learn that she died before the world got to hear her

  • sent shivers down my spine eva cassidy what a singer!

  • OMG I love this song soooooooooooooo much!!!!! I listened to this everyday when I was little :-) Nana I love u!

  • PLAYED & SUNG BEAUTIFULLY!!!

  • Thinking of Steve Genge lots today- he was never meant to get old, but we will miss him so much. If i could wish for one more day with you steve I would

    Love

    Sara

  • always cry when i here this it was played at my baby brothers funeral

  • well done lucita..there is no better example of "only the good die young". sad that she passed so young, but we were fortunate to have her at all. it's no wonder that God wanted her up there to sing with the other angels. rest in peace eva..

  • this was played at my auntys funral and it still gets to me and its weird not seeing her name in cards and all that its just my uncles name now it still gets to me sometimes cause she was a really nice woman she lost her with cancer this year before mothers day and now i know shes in a better place and not in pain anymore her last words were "say goodbye to everybody for me and deinetly aimee shes like the grandaughter i never had" and then she died peacefully in her sleep that night. R.I.P

  • @ilovetila2247 this was played at my aunts and nieces funerals both in 2003 oh it seems like yesterday and like you its strange having just my uncles name on cards i will be 40 in 12 days and oh how i still miss them my brother my grandparents and my uncle all the family have gone before to wait for me and over the rainbow i shall meet them i know what your going through and the strength does come god bless her and you xxxx

  • What a voice!

  • hey, check out my friends youtube channel, shes a singer and doesn't get much credit because she has been affraid to show people her channely. check out her vids on xHOLLYBEBEx and maybe she will do some requests if you ask her

  • THE WAY THIS SONG TOOK A LIFE OF ITS OWN IS TRULY REMARKABLE

    WHEN THE MAKERS OF THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) THOUGHT OF THE SCENE IN WHICH JUDY GARLAND SINGS THIS SONG, THEY INITIALLY DELETED THIS SCENE ON THE BASIS THAT IT SLOWED DOWN THE SONG AND WASN'T A GOOD FIT FOR THE OVERALL PLAY

    ULTIMATELY, HOWEVER, THEY CHOSE TO LEAVE IT IN. WHO WOULD HAVE EVER KNOWN IT WOULD GO ON TO BE ARGUABLY THE MOST PROFOUND PART OF THE ENTIRE PLAY!

  • WHAT A RELAXING AND SOOTHING SONG!

    BACK ON MY IPOD!

  • Great song :) played this at my granddads funeral last 2010 rip gramps

  • i had this song at my daughters funeral as she was a still birth i thought this was a fab video as it resembled the world and it was like i was showing her the world. i can look back at this video and song and it doesn't make me sad. a brilliant song by a total genius!

  • @amyamos1986 Just to let you know, your comment made me cry. In a good way though... <3

  • listen to her live version at pearls

    

  • Do you know, I never liked this song before! In fact I hate to admit, I'd never even really listened to this beautiful voice, that was Eva Cassidy's....

    Not until now.

    My most wonderful, precious, best friend passed away 3 weeks ago. He was 44. But life h
