  • Rest in peace Brah IZ x Thank you for hope and love in life, sing sweet with the angels xXx

  • Lindy, I can live the rest of my life in peace. You came into my life when I needed you the most, shared your heart and soul with me so honestly, and made my life a wonderful place to be. rip my angel, knowing that in this life I was Loved by YOU will carry me till that day we are together again as one.

  • Bradda IZ would be hurt by the hate and anger displayed in the conversations about him. His spirit was love and his music, his art was a reflection of his spirit. Godspeed Bradda IZ...

  • iz is one of the best voice ever remember ur outward appearance never pleases God only man

  • @alanzo44 God don't like sinners. Even they are fat. Because fat is a sin and God never made a fat man in his image like this one that died like a whale.

    I may say, you don't the picture.

    You ignorant fool!

  • @mymusiK2u lol im the fool God love sinners u idiot not sin now before u call others fool check ur self to make sure what u say sounds sensible lol cause ur a sinner im a sinner so ur saying God doesnt love me? lol ur an ass i tell u

  • @alanzo44 Read the Holy Bible it says God doesn't like sinners and that's final. You pathetic judgmental deranged individual.

  • @mymusiK2u idk if ur joking to piss ppl off but thats just disrespectful

  • @maui808boy1 It's the truth for my opinion. And it's not disrespectful. I do respect for people.

  • @mymusiK2u dude just because your fat doesn't mean anything. & Don't be disrespecting people because of their weight!

  • it's really pathetic and out of of place for an internet troll to argue with people and insult IZ on this video. If your best friend had weight problems, and he died fat, would you call him a pathetic fatso?

  • maybe you don't like the king but I love him and He loved forever

  • I love Braddah Iz..His words turn my coldness and pain back into hope and happiness.I am so grateful for his music,

  • i go to say it this guy can really sing,, sounds beautiful have this song on my ipod

  • The Hawaii State Flag flew at half-mast on July 10, the day of Kamakawiwoʻole's funeral. His koa wood coffin lay in state at the Capitol building in Honolulu. He was the third person in Hawaiian history to be awarded this honor, and the only one who was not a government official. Approximately ten thousand people attended the funeral. Thousands of fans gathered as his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean at Mākua Beach on July 12

  • What a man, what a voice! I miss my island ohana!

  • Iz will always be in our hearts! God bless you for your music. Your skill. Your voice! :) Also thank God for putting you here!

  • All the Deforestation in the world could not impact this planet more than the loss of this Man ....Rest in peace Iz.... this world cries for you..

  • We won't see someone as talented as him For... A very fucking long Time.. R.I.P.

  • why whoud you dislike???? this is most thn beautiful.. is like angels singing for us

  • 6 people dislike this video. In other videos, they make jokes about the number of likes or dislikes, but for Iz it's different. You're just going to need to except their opinion and go on with your life. This is what this man has taut me.None of his songs are about hating, all are about loving, so that is what we need to do... even towards the haters.

  • @birdygotweettweet WOW U ARE SO RIGHT

  • @birdygotweettweet You are right. We also need to learn to respect eachother. And we also need to learn from the words of the wise. Like Iz who, like you said, sings about hope and love. Rest in Peace Iz.

  • @birdygotweettweet I think that Like and Dislike buttons are too close. That is the reason :)

  • mahalo my braddah you are da kine. aloha...

  • mahalo my braddah you are da kine. aloha...

  • I heard somewhere over the rainbow in the end of of a movie years ago. I have thought of that version ever since. It is only recently that have learned who sang the song, the deep love and beauty that the singer of the song conveys can only come from a truly touched by God individual. I am a blessed man, that I have been graced by the hands of God from his music. Bless You. 

  • I'm truely sorry you have passed away. But the lord needs great singer also. I hope one day to join you in heaven. Again, I will be able to listen to your music. What a gift the lord gave to you to share with so many others. I know the hawaiian people truely miss you as does your family. I pray you rest in God"s care. Chuck

  • Thank's God for giving this man to us...

  • It's not hard not to love this man cause he has a big soul with a big heart. He inspired me through his music. He sang with sincerety and it's hard not to shed a tear listening to him singing..I just stumbled on his music lately through Youtube..Honestly I have'nt heard of him before. What a great privilledge to be able to enjoy his music. Thank you "IZ" for sharing your special gift which really touches me and thanks to Youtube...Amazing......Love it...

  • A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a "slut", no one knows she was raped at age 14. People call another guy "fat", no one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight. People call an old man "ugly", no one knows he experienced a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war. Re-post this if you are against bullying and stereotyping. I bet 88% of you won't..., yet we should also enjoy the wonderful music.

  • @WolfKaotix Your words ring so true. Never judge others. You must walk in anothers shoes to truly understand them. Keep the faith. Even if you are the only one... then you are the one that counts.

  • his music makes you think about life and appreciate it more, it makes you content with what you have.

    it always makes me sad that he is dead, and i only found his music two weeks ago.

  • I feel like im dying but that im happy and have no regrets and that i have found true love, thanks IZ, this is going on my life soundtrack

  • Whenever I feel I can't go on...I listen to Bradah IZ and everyting's aright. he knew the true meanings of Peace and Love.......RIP....I carry your spirit in my heart. Thank you.

  • he was the man!!! as they say... he could have sang the phone book an it would have ROCKED!!!! LOVE YA IZ... ALWAYS WILL BRUDDA!!!

  • PEACE MY BRADAH YOULL ALWAYS BEEN MY HEART

  • I'm your biggest fan! Love this music. You are an inspiration to all of us! Thanks!

  • Bradda miss u always and forever...R.I.P

  • how could anyone dislike this song? some people have no taste what so ever

  • it's such a shame he's not on "this side" anymore but he said in "alone in iz world" that hawiians live on both sides. that cd is one of the favorite things i brought home from hawaii. i cannot get through this song with dry eyes!

    I'll set a place for you bruddah...and my mom. xoxo

  • A heaven voice, RIP Israel. Love you.

  • R I P man have found out about about you but i love you so much like i know you so many years!

  • What a beautiful man.  We were lucky to have him for as long as we did.

  • I'll never forget when the first time I heard that IZ had just passed on. I was in South Korea with a group of my band and cultural dancers attending one of the biggest Asia Pacific Arts Festivities hosted by World Tour Agencies. You name it Asian countries were there and that includes the Polynesian, Melanesian islands. A group from Hawaii became so closed friends of ours (CNMI Delegates) and found out that Glen (IZ bass man) was with the Hawaiian Delegates...he told us IZ had Passed away.

  • 6 people haven't found this kind of love.

  • Trying to pick wedding music. I don't know if this would work. I couldn't stop crying

  • God needed u in his heavenly choir R.I.P. IZ

  • RIP Bruddah IZ, so much Aloha flowing from ur heart fo all to hear. U R beyond ONO, ur da Aloha, peace :)

  • Gives me "chicken skin" makes me cry! This big MAN has so much soul and sings

    with true SOUL...........he is missed, greatly. This is Hawaii!

  • anyone from anywhere can very much appreciate the late great brother iz!

  • million tumps up bro....... that even though were big or huge or what so ever they call us were huge n big at hearth n voice lab u bro... God bless

  • Rip Braddah IZ may you look down from heaven and smile while looking at your daughter .and rest of your family&all us!!

  • What a voice.

  • Ty bruddah IZ, for letting me know I have brothers and sisters all over the World..that only preach Peace and Love

  • I was only introduced to Iz less than 2 months ago. He has made an awesome impact on my life. He is on my iPod and I sleep with him almost every night. His music is so touching - it comes from his heart. There is a sadness within me for never having the chance to meet him or hear him do a live performance. May God continually shine on him and bless and comfort his family and fans in his departure back home!

  • @shugarmae I so agree with you. When at first I heard his work I had no idea of his size only that his music absolutely reeked of love. I found out later that he had passed on and his music and his tragic passing inspired me to take control of my own life. I went on to lose 130 lbs.I want to be clear here i was inspired by his body of work not his tragic death. If more performers showed his love in their performences the world would be a better place

  • 1year ago this and all your songs touch my heart so soft and sung with aroha nz listener haere ra

  • great spelling.

  • I swear I think Bruddah IZ was sent here from Heaven to teach us something. That something was love, peace, and tranquility and when we finally learned it God had no choice to take him back because his mission was over... R.I.P IZ we all love and miss you I know your watching us from heaven and forgiving the people that disliked this video because they probably didn't here your message clearly I cry tears or joy and sorrow whenever i hear you shootz Bruddah before i cry while i write this.....);

  • i miss you =(

  • this man represents LOVE in a walking, singing, living way ! Just look at his beautiful face and hear his voice and you'll find love .. I am sure he is an angel that had to go back, just only to come back to us, but now, he must be a loving angel working for God in order to protect and bringing love to the world .. Peace - Love and Light wonderful singing soul. I love you. and found the pure expression of love in your voice and sining. Thank youfor sharing.

  • 2:55 Moves ME

  • i coulda swore this was lion king :P

  • Único!!

SO I WILL! R.I.P. BRUDDA IZ WE LOVE YOU! 13 YEARS GONE, NOT A MINUTE FORGOTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! loves

  • Iz is still alive! all you have to do is press play R.I.P Brudda Iz

  • ja, ein genialer sänger mit einer wundervollen stimme, auch ich habe ihn ziemlich spät entdeckt und kann mich zu seinen fans zählen.

  • Er war einfach ein grandioser Sänger - bin leider erst jetzt ein Fan von ihm!!

  • He makes all the bad that we find in our world fade away!!!!

  • very nice song

  • its the best RIP my friend

  • I think any true human can appreciate this song. It's such a shame that a person with such talent isn't truly recognized until he has passed.

  • @krayonkid Actually he was well recognized well before he died by a lot of the hawaiian people. :) I love his songs when I was a keki.

  • wenn ich das höre fange ich an zu weinen so schöne musik kann ich mir vorstellen 

  • @stiffiwonda oh ja da muß ich Dir Recht geben. So schöne Musik habe ich lange nicht mehr gehört. Schade das er gestorben ist. Er hätte den Menschen mit seiner Musik glücklich gemacht..

    LG Nonny57

  • @1952Nonny Er macht die Menschen auch jetzt noch Glücklich.

  • you cannot beat IZ. He is so amazing, he will never stop living, because he will forever live on in his music.

  • Ahh man what a voice! My new favorite song. May the sun always shine upon your face bra! Save me a salty spot on your wonderful heavenly island. RIP IZ

  • Hopefully braddah iz will save me a spot on his little island in heaven for me to rest in peace along side his beautiful soul

  • he will live on for ever in our hearts

  • DIOS TE GUARDE HERMANO TENIAS UN CORAZON QUE NO CABIA EN TU CUERPO Y NECESITASTE LE INMENSIDAD DEL CIELO

  • Share the Love...In memory of the great IZ

  • :'( Braddah Iz...If u can hear me right now...I LOVE YOU! I MISS YOU! Aloha Au Ia`oe! Forever in my heart:) u meant alot, and did alot for me juss by ur voice. Its so hard to know that ur gone but I know where u r right now and u shall no longer endure the pains of this world... RIP! :')

  • I truly much appreciate His music and i am not a true Hawaiian something so touching it would be a shame to keep it only to Hawaians kinda like if my family kept Italian food to themselves. Something so beautiful is meant to be shared to all. Then it is up to the masses to appreciate what we already appreciate!

  • w/ luv luv luv...we still carry the true brada IZ mhM!

  • love this song. so inspirational.

  • I live in Israel and always love it when they play "Israel" on our radio stations. He is loved here as well

  • @PetSplash sorry, you are a Liar, don't eve comment on Brother IZ.

  • Bruddah IZ, this song is so beautiful. May your music live forever in the hearts of not only us Hawaiians but throughout the world. God gave you a special gift and we are so lucky to enjoy it. Mahalo and may your soul rest in peace.

  • ahh-- sweet hawaiian music x33 I love living in hawaii xD

  • truly a beautiful man and song , thank you for sharing

  • They say it is the heart and soul of a person that really matters above all things he certainly had was beautiful Spirit as well as wonderful special heart, not only is his voice comforting but healing as well, God Bless

  • Nulla vit melior quam bona (There's no life better than a good life)

  • nerdy 5746 I feel that IZ would tell you to ask Jesus to come into your heart and be born again Jesus will wash away all the past and make you brand new like a little baby. His love and power is stronger than your past.

  • ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

  • AWSME voice for a big man u can hear his passion and love wen he sings...R.I.P breeva..

  • @mike20992  he had even a bigger heart!! he was beautiful in every way that counts

  • just seeing him, gives me peace. he seemed so calm. such purity in his voice. i wish i was like him. but my past is too strong. but yet i cling to peace by his music and my family.

  • @nerdy5746  the past is but a bucket of ashes best to let it blow away into the 4 brother winds,

    it is never too late to let it all go and begin again

  • RIP IZ

  • RIP, Izrael Kamakawiwo'ole, LEGEND!

  • there is no such yhing as death . this man lives in us all thankyou for the beauitfuj songs

  • He's looking down at us from over the rainbow.

  • @dtappel amazing comment bro

  • @mymusiK2u

    Some people are sick and unable to control metabolism .. You're sick in the head, so I forgive you

  • @mymusiK2u Hahaha, next time do some research before you comment, you stupid freak. Just so you know, weight is governed even more by metabolism than by diet - and IZ had a disease (a thyroid disorder) that greatly, greatly lowered his metabolism. So, in fact, he was not a glutton. You, however, have so far proven yourself NOT ONLY ignorant, but also intolerant, callous, and cruel. I wonder... which god is it that likes people like you?

  • @meithink1991 They are methods to get rid of Thyroid Disorders is called EXERCISE. That Fat Pork Chop hasn't done nothing, he end up being they way he is. The fastest cure is, he should of went to Bangladesh to get rid of the thyroid disorder, so far he is close to go to that destination.

    And the ignorant is the people don't know how to handle there lives and how to be healthy.

    They are nothing but filthiness a disgusting fat people.

  • @mymusiK2u He didn't need to be skinny to be loved. All of Hawaii loved him, his fans loved him, and he loved them in return. He only got 38 years to share his love. So what, are you happy? He died, and guess what? He's larger now. He became one with the ocean when his ashes were spread into it. So you can go fuck yourself. I hope you dig your own grave in real life as much as you do on the internet. You make me sad for humanity when I came here to be happy with IZ's music.

  • @mymusiK2u @mymusiK2u fuck you,you fucking cunt looking asshole. your people are the scum of the earth. lord knows why they created your fucking kind. braddah IZ is a legend and it's people like you that speak of the hawaiian race that is below us in every way,shape and form.... so shut your fucking pie hole and craw back under that rock you live UNDER!

    HAWAIIAN POWER FOR LIFE!!!!

  • @2legit2quit808 @2legit2quit808 @2legit2quit808 @2legit2quit808 @2legit2quit808 @2legit2quit808

    You have useless words to respond to me about this fatso.

    He was fat and he died fat, so, you worry about this fat dude! Worry about the children that are starving in Africa or other nations that are having war right now.

    Don't be so pathetic!

  • @mymusiK2u Hey...ASSHOLE..If you were close by, I would knock your teeth out MotherFucker....Go FuckYourSelf!!!!!!

  • @268Tinman & 2legit2quit808 You both are the same idiots who care for this fatso that eats to much & died! Go back and finish eating your fat grease of your Micky Dee's & your BK's meals. You are a fatso to. It shows the comments you reply. If I see you around, I might use you for a punching bag practice. So, long...Sucker!

  • @mymusiK2u y wont u go read up ut us ckear it could count he has medical conditions remember God judges the heart not the bod and by the looks of ut yr inside is as ugly as ur out side it saddens to me that you ook mock the dead how would u like us to mock people who have impacted ur life and mock them? its like spitting in some ome's grave. but then again ir attitude seems childish and as u grow u will learn the erroe of ur ways p.s grow up

  • @mymusiK2u you say pathetic but do u look at what you type? please dude here is a wise saying for you when u dig a grave dig 2 and ill leave it up to u to decide what those words mean remember words are powerful be careful how u use them

  • @mymusiK2u You are unfortunately very ignorant, I feel bad for you

  • Your not forgetten...Never, You live on like all your awesome, beautiful songs !!! Until later, look at us and love us always !!!

    R.I.P....~ Always Aloha~

  • My Dad passed away in April and lived on Kauai for the last 17 years of his life. They played this at his service. The words give me chills.

  • Same for my Grandmother. They played it at her funeral. I was only a little girl then so I didn't really understand or cry. This is a inspirational song even though IZ didn't write the lyrics.
