Lost my elder sister, who died on 28th October 2024. Didn't drop a single tear because I made myself busy with funeral processions. Only now has it dawned on me how much I miss her a week later. RIP
As everyone always say, legends never die. He's not dead, he's just waiting over the rainbow for us to eventually join him when the time comes. They're never gone until they're forgotten.
My brother suddenly passed away 2 days ago and I couldn't even go back to see his face one more time because my whole country is in lockdown. I hadn't seen him in 5 years and it still feels like a really bad dream.
Siempre q escucho esta maravilla. Me trasmite. Mucha tranquilidad. Me relaja. Q lástima q. Israel. Falleciera. Tenia un futuro maravilloso. Esto es música. No lo q hacen algunos. Estés. Donde estés. Israel. Protégenos. Q buena falta. Nos hace. Un besote. Muy grande. ✡️✡️🐂🇪🇸🇪🇸
I worked in the desert in Oman back in the late 90’s. I missed my wife so much. I used to play this song on my dvd player and cry thinking of my beautiful wife. We are still together after 51 great years.
@@S7232S Musician Israel Kamakawiwo'ole died from a combination of respiratory and cardiac conditions in 1997. The then-38-year-old had health problems that were likely compounded by his severe obesity.
My Grandma died because of cancer 10 years ago and this song was played at her funeral as her favourite song. Everytime i hear it just reminds me of her...im happy and sad at the same time, everytime i think about her while listening but also miss her.
Felt a sudden urge to listen this song i don't know why, haven't heard it in a while. Saw the comments only to find out it is his birthday damn... Happy Birthday King
I've been overlooking this song for months in my recommended and for some reason today I clicked. Today is his birthday? What kind coincidence is that??
I’ve left a comment now 8 years ago and 4 years ago. Now leaving this one 4 years later. No matter how far you fall you can always get back up and keep pushing forward. Love those around you and treat strangers with compassion, we’re all on this small earth together ❤ RIP IZ. You made a legendary song which people will forever cherish. Thank you.
I have this vague memory of my dad showing this to me when I was around five years old. At first, I thought it was just a nice song, but now as I grow older, when I listen to it I feel like I am transported to another world where everything is good. Rest in Peace IZ.
Well the reason you thought it was just a good song is because the world seems good from a five year olds perspective because they don’t understand any of our problems
Everything about his singing, playing his instrument, people around him are so joyous...has a spiritual feeling. We feel like a part of the experience too and joyous and sad at the same time... I cry. Thank you for giving this gift to us..
They are celebrating his life after he passed away from the most beautiful poeple who ever loved him so much that they have never come together to celebrate his life
I’m back after 11 years and everything about this makes me want to cry he seemed like he really loved his life and his people he knew what he wanted to do and did it
@liam Anderson not every obese person (especially extremely obese as Iz was) has their own fault in their obesity. There are many illnesses some of which chronic which prevent you from loosing weight either by diet or exercise, thyroid illnesses for example. Please stop fatshaming this dude especially when hes been dead for over 20 years
Don't be deceived there will be a time the Bible says that the antichrist will force everyone to worship him he will force many to take a chip on there right hand he will do many miracles do not be deceived he is the antichrist they will also think that they are doing Christians a favour by killing them in there millions i tell you this to protect your fellow Christians and do not take the chip Amen and God bless

I was in Maui when I heard him sing this in the airport...I have long given his CD's to family and friends...I adore this version---own all his albums...saddened he is no longer with us...but grateful for his continued life through his music and voice. Thank you!
When I am sad and depressed, I come right back to this video. Hes voice was so soothing and calm. He made me feel like everything is going to be alright
Get emotional this song was played with my grandpas funeral before Covid started. He always tries everything with me while battling diabeties, heart disease, and many others. 😢
One of the most powerful songs that I have ever heard. His voice is amazing and the song conveys an optimism rarely expressed in any media: it is his song!
He's smiling down upon us always watching and knowing he clears the clouds from our minds when we feel sad, mad, or confused in life. Forever rest in peace, Iz. We love you.
People say we wont hear his voice again but we will, when we go over the rainbow I can promise you all that we will hear his voice again. -Dang didn’t expect this comment to blow up thanks guys
@@armae1497 Jesús showed the condition of the dead when his friend Lazarus died. John 11:11-.give the answer :"Lazarus our fríend has fallen asleep, but I am traveling there to awake him.12 The disciples then said to him:"Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well,".13 Jesus, however, had spoken about his death. But they imagined he was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus has die..".So Jesus compares death to deepened sleep. Jesus promise :"Do not be amazed at this, for the hours is coming in which all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out,..."(John 5: 28, 29 ).CAN we believe in this promise? Yes for three reasons.
May he rest in peace my dad showed me this song and I haven't listened to it since I was 3 this brought back memories may he rest in peace and may he fly high 🙏 🕊
IZ truly shows the world how no matter what each step you take in your life takes you closer to the other side of the rainbow like his some sooner than others and some may not make it over but I hope he’s still singing for what he believes in and for his people somewhere over the rainbow
thumbs down because it made me cry..... Thumbs up because, well, IT MADE ME CRY!! Had no idea he passed away in 1997. made me cry even more.. Not ashamed to say that. and I'm a 50 yr old retired combat vet.
@@equinox1185 it's not about IQ, this songs plays the strings of your emotions. I'm sorry rachmaninoff and liszt or paganini are your favorites or something, chopin is my favorite, but this song is just soft slow and makes you wanna lay down in a green field and close your eyes only to fly through the sky with the bluebirds and experience the pure joy of life
Listening to this lovely song as my Mum & Stepfather ashes are due to be interred on 26th July 2021 & I can't attend due to covid restrictions, rest in peace M xx
Forever here loving Iz and his infectious smile and his amazing make of a song that has the hearts of many. Resting In Paradise, that is where I wish to see you IZ.
I'm 13 and this morning I woke up all happy because I had a dream that my dad was still alive and well so when I woke up I went to text him then I realized he isn't here anymore because he passed away last week then this song came up and I listened to it and couldn't stop crying I miss you dad and will always love you❤
Kaija Wyness I'm sorry. I really I can't say anything because people always say things but they don't understand that some things are really hard to get over...
Kaija Wyness my heart goes out to you...I lost my dad 2 months ago and a day doesn't go by without me crying...he loved this song...that's why I keep listening... may his memory be for a blessing
he did pass..in 97' ,Brother is right here with Us...Energy can not be created nor destroyed ,only transfered... its real..we are released from this physical world.. Cheers
He had such a soothing voice - In these times when everyone is stressed because of COVID, unemployment, and every other ill not mentioned, we need to just sit and listen.
It's a tough time for real, my girlfriends nan has died my cat of 17 years died yesterday and this whole pandemic, I hope everyone has a blessed live full of happiness
When I first watched this video he inspired me to play the ukulele. About a year or so ago I found out he died in 1997, it makes me sad and I reflect. I do kind of feel like I want to cry for him, he seemed so nice, not only is he my favourite musician he will always be my favourite person and I will never forget him.
This song always just makes me wish humans loved each other more and didn’t treat each other different because of their skin, upbringing, etc... I just wish we could really take care of each other.
My mother and father introduced me to IZ a few years ago when they got back from Hawaii. A beautiful man with an amazing voice and a huge heart that beats through his music. The world was blessed to have him and I always love finding musicians who truly play from the heart. Rest in peace IZ
Hope i'm not weird for almost crying listening to this, my grandpa used to sing this to me and my brother, we think his time may be up soon. I love you, papa

This is almost as funny as when Rick Sanchez brilliantly turned himself into a pickle, that WAS the funniest shit I've ever seen, but then you decided to hop on into the comment section to spread your gold amongst the children. Thank god that I was one of these young people to get to witness the supremacy in witch your comment reigns over all the other comments in terms of humor and excellence. The thought of missing out on more comments coming from you pains me enough to search to alcohol in desperation of forgetting your excellence. For now on I will be praying to Israels gods for peace on earth so YOU can live an untouched and undisturbed life.Greetings from Iceland. Peace

R.I.P to your Grandmother's. My Nana died on Easter Monday 2011. But I still think of her everyday. She fell on the stairs breaking every vertebrae 😥😥😥 She would probably still be here if it didn't happen she had just given up cigarettes etc. I won't ever forget the last thing she said to me on Easter Saturday. "See you on Tuesday flower" If only I knew Tuesday would never come I would have stayed with her all weekend.
He’s over the rainbow because they dump his ashes to the ocean (Hawaiian culture) and when the water evaporates it turns to clouds then when it rains and when the sun shines over the rain he’s truly over the rainbow 🌈
(Bit off topic) The Nazis leaders were burnt to an ash after WW2 and put into the sea so they could never rest. The meaning is nice but a bit dark at the same time, lol. Good times
Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dream of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly And the dreams that you dream of Dreams really do come true Someday, I wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly And the dreams that you dare to Oh why, oh why can't I? Well, I see trees of green and red roses too I'll watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white And the brightness of day I like the dark And I think to myself what a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky And also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shaking hands saying How do you do?

LucaMorcego not the official song I don't get why this was an OFFICIAL VIDEO it wasn't made by him it was made by Harold Aren in 1939. it was also in the original wizard of Oz
LucaMorcego he was awesome I grew up listening to this song I was like 6 when I found out he was died it's sad he died from a disease where if you get to heavy you get very very sick like he did it is not very nice to say "Fat Guy" ok
LucaMorcego I did as well. music does that to ya my brother. it's a beautiful some, especially the way he sings it man! lots of love bro, I ain't the only one lol
I'm so sad he died. My dad used to always play this song when i was like 2 years old when i was trying to sleep. Now i know what to play at my dads funeral. 😢 For everyone thinking my dad died, he didn't i was saying i know what to play at his funeral when he dies.
John Human yeah you’re right, but the op worded is as those dumb UA-cam cliche comments. Like iz’s legacy never died, that’s how they should’ve put it cause his legacy will never die

People say we wont hear his voice again but we will, when we go over the rainbow I can promise you all that we will hear his voice again. -Dang didn’t expect this comment to blow up thanks guys
Some Where over The. Rainbow is A Beautiful Song
Yes🤗
Yup 😢
wait what happened to him?
@@armae1497 Jesús showed the condition of the dead when his friend Lazarus died. John 11:11-.give the answer :"Lazarus our fríend has fallen asleep, but I am traveling there to awake him.12 The disciples then said to him:"Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well,".13 Jesus, however, had spoken about his death. But they imagined he was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus has die..".So Jesus compares death to deepened sleep. Jesus promise :"Do not be amazed at this, for the hours is coming in which all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out,..."(John 5: 28, 29 ).CAN we believe in this promise? Yes for three reasons.
May he rest in peace my dad showed me this song and I haven't listened to it since I was 3 this brought back memories may he rest in peace and may he fly high 🙏 🕊
this guy is a legend he deserves to come back and sing one more time and see how many people he has inspired :(
Nah every one passes at least he left something behind
Your rite

IZ truly shows the world how no matter what each step you take in your life takes you closer to the other side of the rainbow like his some sooner than others and some may not make it over but I hope he’s still singing for what he believes in and for his people somewhere over the rainbow
2024 now
thumbs down because it made me cry..... Thumbs up because, well, IT MADE ME CRY!!
Had no idea he passed away in 1997. made me cry even more.. Not ashamed to say that. and I'm a 50 yr old retired combat vet.
elfpimp1 i cried to don't worry im with u to
His voice is so beautiful, its so sad he passed
The sad yet beautiful thing is he knew, so he called a friend up late night and they recorded this track in one take, just a few days before he passed
Michelle Pearl Gee wow
elfpimp1 Semper Fi sir \o
This song is blowing up again and that’s what he deserves
The sing he recorded is timeless!❤ I post it on fb a couple of times a week to give hope
wtf, i just thought it out of nowhere and came here, why did it blow up again?
You Could Tell He is A Very Caring Soul.
I Hope We Meet Him in Heaven.
Thank You For the Gift You Gave Us IZ!
Yessir! Amazing song!
My mum used to sing it to me when I was a baby, I will never forget this song. When I die it will be on my funeral song list for sure
This was the song playing when my beautiful daughter Natalie was born. I cry every time I hear it.
Most beautiful song i've heard. So pure and harmless
I agree with you bud
Ofc for low iq fks its the most beautiful song...
Perfect song i literally get tears every time I hear it so much peace in it..beautiful 💕 one of my most favourites 💗
@@equinox1185 it's not about IQ, this songs plays the strings of your emotions. I'm sorry rachmaninoff and liszt or paganini are your favorites or something, chopin is my favorite, but this song is just soft slow and makes you wanna lay down in a green field and close your eyes only to fly through the sky with the bluebirds and experience the pure joy of life
I agree with you
A legend, lost, but easily found over the rainbow
He still here but he over the rainbow 🌈🌈
He is still over the rainbow 🌈
QXHZ
Ed, Just Ed fuck you, he was a really really nice man
Everyone is capable of beautiful things. Yes you too
Listening to this lovely song as my Mum & Stepfather ashes are due to be interred on 26th July 2021 & I can't attend due to covid restrictions, rest in peace M xx
So Sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you

I'm 13 and this morning I woke up all happy because I had a dream that my dad was still alive and well so when I woke up I went to text him then I realized he isn't here anymore because he passed away last week then this song came up and I listened to it and couldn't stop crying I miss you dad and will always love you❤
Vlad Vasiliu I can relate this song was my friends favorite song he died 4 years ago
Kaija Wyness He will always be with you, always ! he's above you watching whatever your doing !
Kaija Wyness :(
Kaija Wyness I'm sorry. I really I can't say anything because people always say things but they don't understand that some things are really hard to get over...
Kaija Wyness my heart goes out to you...I lost my dad 2 months ago and a day doesn't go by without me crying...he loved this song...that's why I keep listening...
may his memory be for a blessing

Hey guys every thing is stressing but i look at the comments and they make me smile i hope you all are doing well during 2020.🙂👍
He had such a soothing voice - In these times when everyone is stressed because of COVID, unemployment, and every other ill not mentioned, we need to just sit and listen.
damn comments from years ago and comments from today really show how special this song is and how special IZ was
Uh, call me insulting but if I was that big, I'd call that a big stress factor. Great voice though.
I agree
why would anyone be stressed? stress doesn't help. it is your internal reaction to outside stimulus.
It's a tough time for real, my girlfriends nan has died my cat of 17 years died yesterday and this whole pandemic, I hope everyone has a blessed live full of happiness
RIP Iz. Thank you for blessing the world with your gift
in such a bad world its so nice to see this positivty in these comment section. this does put a smile on my face
The world is just fine mate.
And when it’s done with all us pests it will just shake us all off.
Have a good life cuzzy x
Tee revevour Deminingo you are right brother the world is beautiful place, but the human race can really be disgusting sometimes
cRownn my mother used to sing this song to me as a child.
cRownn probably not this good but it felt like it at the time.
Ok thanos
RIP man...God will see to it that you find yourself over the rainbow.
Wait he is dead?
@@reversephil1481 yeah sadly he is
Yes he is Dead. So sad.
When the world ends this song will be in the credits
I'm ready to hear this song echo throughout the universe as the sun goes red giant and eats the earth.
Pretty soon we’ll hear it then
Not in this life time. No disrespect but the sun is literally up there .
Idk what you mean .
I say again I mean no disrespect
When a country fires a nuke, this is what it will sound like
Cough* cough* 2021
11/13/24 I miss my daddy, this makes me think of him and the beauty he is surrounded by now at the feet of our King
😢😢😢
He died in 1997 and yet we cry 'cause of his music and voice still to this day, that's how good he was
He will always be remembered, still talking to us through his music. RIP
how sad i lost my grandfather in 2016 and hearing his version brought a tear to my eye
Jack Jacky dang this had impact on me still does my birthday was 97. I just came to watch this didn't know it was a song now I'm glad I listen to this
Because he looks like he was such a sweet man. And no one has a smoother voice than him in the world. His music brings so much peace... :)
When I first watched this video he inspired me to play the ukulele. About a year or so ago I found out he died in 1997, it makes me sad and I reflect. I do kind of feel like I want to cry for him, he seemed so nice, not only is he my favourite musician he will always be my favourite person and I will never forget him.
This song always just makes me wish humans loved each other more and didn’t treat each other different because of their skin, upbringing, etc... I just wish we could really take care of each other.
especially right now in 2020

Same, I love your profile picture lol
@@mclovin8398 Thank you! I love Ghost!
My mother and father introduced me to IZ a few years ago when they got back from Hawaii. A beautiful man with an amazing voice and a huge heart that beats through his music. The world was blessed to have him and I always love finding musicians who truly play from the heart. Rest in peace IZ
:)Wtf .... Few Years Ago.... He Died In 1997
You were introduced to his music a few years ago or you met him in person ?
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I was like how did you meet him a few years ago when he died in 1997 ?
mike oliver they introduced him to his music
Lol Bruh Given the context, it's pretty obvious what he meant
Hope i'm not weird for almost crying listening to this, my grandpa used to sing this to me and my brother, we think his time may be up soon.
I love you, papa
Israel will now and forever be “Somewhere over the rainbow”, in a better place.... Rest In Peace
couldn't be in a worst place, really. dead centre of the land masses' as a symbol to control all the pharma industry? stolen land and a illegal state. thank you british crown for causing even more distress to the world...
oh shit my bad
tf? you don't really think they're talking about ISRAEL AN AN COUNTRY do you?! This is almost as funny as when Rick Sanchez brilliantly turned himself into a pickle, that WAS the funniest shit I've ever seen, but then you decided to hop on into the comment section to spread your gold amongst the children. Thank god that I was one of these young people to get to witness the supremacy in witch your comment reigns over all the other comments in terms of humor and excellence. The thought of missing out on more comments coming from you pains me enough to search to alcohol in desperation of forgetting your excellence. For now on I will be praying to Israels gods for peace on earth so YOU can live an untouched and undisturbed life.Greetings from Iceland. Peace
@@Constavlos ....dude... the singers name is Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole.
you had me laugh so hard ..
If you ever feel useless, remember this song has it’s lyrics in the description. We all know them, all the prayers from this side of the rainbow.
Beautifully spoken 🙏
Killing me yo
also I'm pretty sure whoever wrote the lyrics in the description added parts of 'what a wonderful world' to the actual lyrics lol
@@JS-USA Did she sing
Well, I see trees of green and red roses too
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
And also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do?
They're really saying I, I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more then we'll know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

Listening to this at night, is something totally different.
It is, my friend

@@dizlarrizlar5364 no just felt good to hear this song again. Dont have to be an ass about it.
Matthew Gillis just shut up, we heard your opinion
Most songs are a trend that last for months.
This song is 10 years old and still isn't forgotten...
I mean like there's a lot of rock/metal bands from the 70s/80s/90s which are still the most legendary bands there have ever been.
Man,this was released in the 90's
@.nggl me. I care.
This song is recorded in 1988 tho
Song is 32 years old bro.
Recorded in one take. Literally sounds like gold in my ears
Played this song at my mom’s funeral.. couldn’t have been more of a perfect song! She loved the original version of this song from the wizard of oz and she was from Hawaii.. I miss her so much and cry every time I hear this song now. 💔
❤
The Wizard of OZ version was definitely a classic. 💚
I’m sorry about your mom
I'm glad she had people who cared about her to honor her memory.
i bet your mom is somewhere over the rainbow just like him

Something about Iz’s voice just calmed all my tears, only for a second, but he did something no one else could..
This was also played at a funeral that happened yesterday, a great person has passed on
R.I.P to your Grandmother's. My Nana died on Easter Monday 2011.
But I still think of her everyday. She fell on the stairs breaking every vertebrae 😥😥😥
She would probably still be here if it didn't happen she had just given up cigarettes etc.
I won't ever forget the last thing she said to me on Easter Saturday.
"See you on Tuesday flower"
If only I knew Tuesday would never come I would have stayed with her all weekend.
Wenger in! I’m so sorry for your loss. But I’m sure, one day, you’ll see her again... Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high.
SpacedOut glad she dead lol
It played at my dads and I miss him so much
Here after my mom changed address last night ❤. This is bringing so much comfort . Thank you , Iz . ❤❤❤❤ sending everyone love ❤

this made me tear up
Did he really die?
@@rejecthumanityreturntomonk9083 sadly yes
How am I hearing this now...he seems like a good man...we treasure good souls❤
He’s over the rainbow because they dump his ashes to the ocean (Hawaiian culture) and when the water evaporates it turns to clouds then when it rains and when the sun shines over the rain he’s truly over the rainbow 🌈
Helloo!!! I wrote a new song and I really hope you like it!! You can see it at my channel page!! See you!!!😊

Dreams really do come true

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?

LucaMorcego not the official song I don't get why this was an OFFICIAL VIDEO it wasn't made by him it was made by Harold Aren in 1939. it was also in the original wizard of Oz
LucaMorcego he was awesome I grew up listening to this song I was like 6 when I found out he was died it's sad he died from a disease where if you get to heavy you get very very sick like he did it is not very nice to say "Fat Guy" ok
LucaMorcego I did as well. music does that to ya my brother. it's a beautiful some, especially the way he sings it man! lots of love bro, I ain't the only one lol
How didn't you know this song? I grew up listening to it.
The world lost an incredible man. Love his voice.
I'm so sad he died. My dad used to always play this song when i was like 2 years old when i was trying to sleep. Now i know what to play at my dads funeral. 😢
For everyone thinking my dad died, he didn't i was saying i know what to play at his funeral when he dies.
true bro he was a legend 34 sek btw
