Most beautiful song ever! His voice, sounds of ukulele, lyrics, everything is so perfect in this song. Thank you Iz for this song, you will be remembered forever!
My Wife's Parrot, Our Daughter Wahine "Weet" died this morning...One of our great friends drew a beautiful picture for us that had a link to this song...
In July 2010 I was on holiday in USA (Philadelphia) and we took the train to Boston. On that train I met a wonderfull girl (Amanda). I had the time of my life with her! But I had to leave.. I was stupid an did ask her number or email... today, almost 1 and a half years later, still can't find her back :( I'm still waiting for her!! If you wanna see the movie I made on youtube, it named 'What real love is.. (help me find her)' I really miss her so much!!! :(
You know, i see on some videos people saying how can you dislike this video.. but this is different? how can people dislike THIS video, this is peace, harmony and everything else, its serenading the people of the world in such perfection words can not describe. everytime i hear this i get an uplifting feeling that just makes me smile :)
this song makes me cry.....the fact that this guy is dead just makes me absolutely depressed....like this if you agree....R.I.P. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
IZ hi if you can read this im a 14 year old boy who got inspired by your video so i begged my parents to buy me a ukulele a good afforable one and i will i (will) learn this song.
i couldnt believe this arrangement the first time i heard it which was on ER i think. too beautiful and so different to the usual wishy washy crap! I love it!
some souls burn so bright that they are not around for long,thank you iz for shinning a light on the earth,and leaving us some of your light through your songs,this song gives me peace of mind and makes me smile,and i know that would make you smile:)
Don't listen to all the people who say you're fat. They don't know you.
Some people is just judging in forehand.
You're voice is probably the best in the world and when I listen to this song it makes me both happy and sad, but that's how life is, good and bad, and one of the bad things is that you're gone.
Hope we'll meet someday in heaven or whatever comes after life.
Lovely rendition indeed! And any comments about the size of the singer in relation to his voice is like saying J.S. Bach was exceptional but he wore a wig !!! On both counts, the statements are of coarse, absurd!
Your God will bless you and love you as long as you do the same for others. Please planet earth, lets get together, hold hands, unite and love one another. We have all suffered. We have all loved. Lets be one, and be with all of our Gods, and live beyond this life and live forever.
Oh my god.. this wonderful piece of art brings to my mind so many childhood memories... it just fills my hear with joy and hapiness.. So many feelings i cannot even explain...
Gordita ,me parese una bonita cancion,no la havia escuchado ,pero me encanta mas la de chayanne , me identifica mas con tigo con todo lo nuestro que esta muy dentro de mi todavia, te sigo amando gordita ,hermosa...!!!!
When i was young and my Grandmother didn't have Alzheimers she used to sing this to me as she rubbed my hair. And now she cant even remember my name. but when i hold her hand. and lay her head on my shoulder and sing this to her she squeezes my hand. God i love you grandma. i will never forget what you have taught me and i will never forget the love that you have given me. even though my parents love my brother more you always made me feel like i was the only one in the world.
@LynSire He died because he's too fat.The doctor said that he would die if he doesnt lose weight,but he will lose his wonderful voice too.But Iz decided to share us his wonderful voice until the end.
@MrCARLODEXTER he also had a medical condition which was the main reason he was so big according to wikipedia. Not everyone has complete control of their weight.
why is there a video of the biggest pimple!!! thats just mess up.. all these people need to respect people that arent in the world anymore!! R.I.P i barely found out of him and hes changed my whole perspective on music!! thanks
R.I.P i love you papa! This man was my mothers uncle and i loved him so much...it just puts me to tears every time i hearthis bai papa and xaviar say buh bai... R.I.P
@CrystalKirmlen100 Ohhh Sweetie... IK is in a much more beautiful place now~ know that, God gave him a unbelievable Voice, he shared it w/the world & God will reward him for giving of himself so unconditionally! *Remember: Faith is being sure of what you do not see*
Hola, le quería preguntar si usted tiene esta canción pero sin el video y que no este combinada con "That a wonderful world", si la tiene, no me la podria pasar porque yo la tengo combinada y no es lo que necesito. Muchas gracias
this was played at the service for my dear friend who passed away over thanksgiving and it was the most beautiful/sad thing i have ever seen watching everyone walk up to the altar with this playing
