This song takes me back to last year when one of my friends was singing it and now I think about how I didn't cherish what I had and now she's pregnant with a guy who doesn't care about her and is most likely to leave her before she gives birth and I'm friendless and to be left with my memories... but I can reminisce cant I?
they played this song at my grandmas wake in nov or dec. idk which one no more but she left behind 21 grandchildren and 5 children. love you grandma <3
This song will forever be the strongest memory of my best friend who just recently past away. Although he did not speak a word of english he liked this song and he would play it on the guitar and make me sing it, because he liked the "tune", every time I went to his house on the rooftop overlooking our hometown. Who would've wondered such a song which he did not understand was left for me to remember him as the brother I never had, until the day we meet again, I love you and miss you bro.
My Daughter's Very Dear Friend incorporated into a Video of My Daughter and her Partners commitment ceromony last Feb. I saw the video the first time yesterday and fell in Love with IZ. Rest In Peace!
Played as my beautiful wife walked down the aisle, perfect blend of her Wizard of Oz fascination and my love of the great jazz man Louis Armstrong. PERFECTION!!!
BTW, I found out in an article that Braddah Iz recorded the song in one take and that was it. He never played the song again after that, ever. Not even live. Isn't that amazing?
Hi friend!! Can you help answer a question? My grandma recently passed away and I made a tribute video for her to show at her funeral and send to family members. I uploaded it to YouTube to easily send the link to family, but because of THIS song, it has been muted due to copyright issues? How did you get yours to play? How can I get mine to unmute? Do I have to write someone? Thanks- sorry! My email is kahlinkelly@aol.com
This will be one of the first cover songs I will sing in an open-mike night. As a singer I can appreciate a song from the heart And an outstanding mix of two great songs into one with a voice and a ukalale
This song always makes me cry, and i really cant help it. specifically the wonderful world section, its really beautiful, sung by a beautiful voice form a great man, Love ya IZ
My beautiful bride came down the aisle to this song with one Uncle playing the Ukelele and the other one singing this song. It was amazing. I will forever love this song
That almost made me cry on how true that phrase is to me. In cherish my friends and family every day and I am truly blessed by (whichever) god put me here. Thank you!!
Los colores del arcoíris tan bonitos en el cielo Están también en las caras de la gente que va pasando Veo amigos dándose la mano Diciendo: “¿Cómo estás?” Están en verdad diciendo: “Yo… yo te amo” Algún día desearé sobre una estrella Muy arriba de las chimeneas es ahí donde me encontrarás En algún lugar sobre el arcoíris rumbo arriba Y los sueños a lo que te atreves, ¿oh por qué, oh por qué no puedo?
The 616 people that like this song need to pray for those 20 people who don't. How could you not like this song. This song could be the most beautiful song ever!! When I am feeling sad I just listen to this song and then I feel all good inside. IZ LIVES FOREVER
esta musica pra mim é a mais bonita , te faz transportar para um lugar muito melhor que esta terra O CEU . te colocando entre as nuvens e o mundo aos seus pés .
Scrubs, fifth season, seventh episode, My Way Home, directed by Zach Braff, ending song, cover of Somewhere Over The Rainbow by The Blanks aka The Worthless Peons - also an amazing piece of art!
his name is Isrial Kawakawiwa'ole.......im pretty sure the last name is spelt right....he also goes by "Bruddah IZ" hes a 700 pound Ukulele player who died in 1997 cuz of that
Listen and put everything in it's perspective! What a wonderful world! it can always be worse! You make wonderful everyday, happiness in within - SHARE IT!
my girlfriend jut broke up with me but im not mad just a little confused because i was going to propose i hope she finds someone she really loves and she gets everything she wants
obama '08 and by the way this song makes me sad, l reaaley lovit though. it really is sad that this man passed i'm shore god will have a good place for him...
Lovely,,, The signiture tune from the movie "Meet Joe Black", With Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins, It`s on CD.. Excellent version of the tune (tunes? ), Excellent movie also.
gracias por hacer el videoo .. estoy peleado con mi nobia .. mi gran amor .. y nda mas escucharlo la llame .. te quiero preeti ... oojala para siempre ..
when i listen to this song, i remember my past and how good my childhood was, and how good life is now =) its like... love in a song, every note has a meaning a power to it. and listening to it just reminds me of peace =D

This version isn't exactly like the one in the wizard of oz. Some of the lyrics are missing, changed and mixed with "what a wonderful world" written by israel kamakawiwo'ole.
That's exactly who sings it, I don't know the year he did it, but it's just him, a ukulele, and he combined "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", and "What A Wonderful World" and what an amazing job he did in my opinion.
