  • nothing is better than thiis

  • Perhaps one of the last great spiritual influences to be in this day and age...

    

  • I cannot think of a greater song that has been sung in my lifetime. I am almost 40. If there is a god, it shone through IZ...

  • Alessandra 1962 - 2012 R.I.P. my friend, my sister....this is for you.

  • Like this if you are watching in 2013!

  • IZ was the best! Companies used this music to promote items. I miss you Brah!

  • Truely beautiful .... and I have played with the best ... Frankie C

  • RIP Brother, you may be gone but this Guy will always remember you.

  • Hermosa interpretación. . . .la mejor. . . .

  • An example of what real people are all about; it's all about the heart...not to mention his professed Christian faith and relationship with Christ "real men love Jesus," to become the best spouse, parent, neighbor, friend, co-worker...everything. God rest your soul Iz...thank you!

  • He sure knows how to sing

    Too bad that he is no longer with us, we will miss you

    Rest in peace

  • Bardzo lubię tego słuchać.Extra to.

  • RIP Iz

  • This man makes me smile everytime I see his videos!!!

  • 10 people dont have souls.

  • I live in Mexico, I can't tell which city because our cities are living in fear. People no longer see the light of day and the children cry at night when you hear thunder and bursts of guns and weapons. You hear the screams of those who got hit. You don't even dare to go outside and help them. Our country's goverment tries to hide truth and show a very different Mexico. My country, our cities, our streets are not longer safe. We are living a war that rages outside our homes. Somehere hope lives

  • @foxhoundize1 no existe camino a la paz, LA PAZ ES EL CAMINO! PD:de que estado hablas (yo jalisco)

  • I always thought that an angel would be a female voice. Now I know that there will be true equality in heaven. "Such an angelic voice:

  • Iz had the most amazing voice.

  • this mans voice has come down from the heavens to help me to continue with my healing.

    he must be sitting around with all the beautiful spirits having a great jam with all the angels who came down to earth to share with us. they may not be humans anymore were just lucky enough to have life on earth for a while

  • respect!!

  • Such a big guy

    such a tiny guitar.

    If this was any other guy, it might seem a little silly, but no It's Iz KamakawiwomothafuckinOle

  • So amazing, so peaceful and this should make the whole world want to come together. We are all on one planet and we are killing each other! There is NOTHING right about that! This man left the world while the world was violent, we need to show him that we can really be peaceful, thumbs up if you agree. Or just take it into the rest of your day and be peaceful not offensive.

  • why would you argue about a guy who was peaceful?

  • I can only hope that when I die everyone is so happy to have known and loved me like the people who came out for Israel.

  • somewhere over a hamburger thats a fat ass

  • First songs I learn to play on uke.

  • Some day I will join you other side of the rainbow! Peace be with you brother.....

  • I rediscovered this song recently and was so moved by this one and the other one called "Hawaii" which is also very powerful. I now dedicate this song to my brother who lived on the North Shore for a while and he needs lots of prayers to heal himself these days. I can tell IZ's songs are about healing several wounds and I feel that healing.

  • This man... His body is so large so it can contain his gigantic heart. The world is a better place due to his music. This man, really is, an inspiration to the world. To the wonderful world.

  • As soon as you read this don't stop, I promise it isn't bad just read. By next week you must... - make at least one sad person smile - tell somone you love them - make someone feel special - apreciate something or someone you take for granted. - do a random act of kindness - if you see a homeless person give them at least $5 to show that something is worth living for - Make a difference - do something you always wanted to can u do it ? THUMBS UP IF U WILL AT LEAST TRY ONE!
  • Pure Love!!

  • AMO ESTA CANCION, Y TARDE ALGUN TIEMPO EN ENCONTARLA, CUANDO LA ESCUCHO ME HACE SENTIR MUY BIEN, ME LEVANTA EL ANIMO!!

  • :(((((((((( R.I.P

  • Close your eyes and listen - this man's voice touches the soul.

  • RIP my dear one :(

  • ME ENCANTA ESTE CANCION, ES MUY HERMOSA, CONMUEVE EL CORAZON Y EL ALMA SE PIERDE EN LA INMENSIDAD DE LOS SENTIMIENTOS HUMANOS ...... GRANDE IZ QUE HERMOSA VOZ TENIAS .....

  • click like if you watched this in 2012 :)

  • I am usually a stone in emotions and tune out most things. Iz and this song hit me hard, I wish I could have a beer with Iz. This is song is great because of the greatness that is Iz.

  • If there is a heaven I give you my place man, youy deserve it much more than me

  • The best version of them all, including Judy Garland.

  • i love this song his voice iz so peacefull it gives me goose bumps when i hear it i dont think much of this song normally but when i hear it sung by iz it truley touches my heart he realy does have a voice only an angel could have RIP iz my uncle is with u now pls sing this song for him wile u both dance with angels RIP uncle jon u will b loved n missed always. thank you iz for touching my heart. !!!!

  • RIP 

  • Things, for me, have been looking down in life. No it isn't nearly as bad as half of the people I read the comments of and I offer my sympathy to all of you. But hearing this song made me cry and feel, force ONCE in 17 years, relaxed and happy. He was an angel, and now he is home where he belongs: With the angels. And to all those who say he's fat are more than wrong. He just needed a big body to hold all of his compassion, love and caring in. RIP IZ...and thank you for everything =')

  • @LordxOfxCorruption Hope good things are in store for you-IZ was a big man,With an even bigger heart

  • Food for the soul.

  • Best song. Most relaxing.

  • You can't help but be happy for a moment listening to this. I never get tired of it!

  • This music bring us a great moment of peace... HUGS FROM BRAZIL

  • The word "Beautiful" now has a new meaning!

    Buddy Hollis

  • @Byronthebull hes not fat he needs a big body to hold his big heart

  • My family & I played this 2 song combination at my Mom's recent funeral Mass. It brought alot of tears--but also alot of smiles too--as we held hands surrounding her casket for one final farewell to her from our circle of Love. It seemed appropriate...& I'm sure she was looking down & smiling. IZ did an outstanding job & we appreciated using his talent for my Mom. God bless them both!

  • @LydiaPat1

    I played the same two songs in my brother's funeral, just a mounth ago.... I'm still cring and smiling to life every moment in my life.

  • i see a fat man , but not in the bad way he is a wonderful fat man like santa , rip iz

  • IZ ISNT DEAD HES JUST TEACHING GOD HOW TO PLAY THE UKULELE

  • It's a real shame that some people can only see the veil in front of their eyes instead of lifting the veil to receive all the beauty.

  • I really liked that guy in Shallow Hal.

  • @sd2787 FUCK YOU THAT GUY IS AMAZING AND I THINK YOUR MOM IS FATER THAN EVREYBODY THAT WANNE KICK YOUR ASS!!!!!!!!!!

  • @sd2787 come on man, saying things like that isnt necessary

  • @sd2787 To be trapped in a body you can do nothing about and still be so beautiful and share so much love is amazing. I do not see a fat man. I see too much love to be contained.

  • ...man...what a great soul.

  • --- negri lindo ,cantas para todos los dioses, es el reggae mas hermoso ----
