As my father took his last breath on this earth yesterday, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" sung by Mr. Kamakawiwo'ole came on the radio. What a beautiful way to remember my father.
Pamela entonces ¿cual es el apellido verdadero de tu papito? su música me llena de alegría y paz y alguna me entristece aunque no se el idioma en el que canta algunas canciones. es un deleite casi todos los dias lo escucho y le pido que desde el cielo donde el esté, pida por mi padre que esta muy enfermo para que el sane, esta sufriendo mucho y ya es muy grande de edad.
I got married in the early seventies and I sang that same song to my baby girl, as she grew she sang it to me at bed time, then as my kids grew and had their own children and my grandchildren grew up either singing to me or me to them, I still enjoy hearing "IZZY" singing like it was yesterday ....love all his music
I HAVE NEVER BEEN MOVED BY ANYONE'S MUSIC THE WAY HIS VOICE TOUCH ME, I HAD NEVER HEARD HIM BEFORE THIS WEEK, AND FEEL SO BLESSED FOR HAVING FOUND HIM.
Iz has ben gone for 21 years...but his music and voice has endured for all that time and only grows stronger, His is the voice of angels, not to be forgotten, May he and John Koko rest in peace, their music will last forever.
I just got this from my grade school friend ,thank you Mary for the introduction of such great talent and not to mention a real man spreading the good news for others to know Jesus I love the singing may he rest in peace and in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Hawai is not a Place. Hawai is more the arising Understanding that we are all One. That Home is everywhere. I see Bruddah IZ in everybody of you! Yet He is certainly a huge Superman from Hawai.
I'm from Detroit, and I appreciate this beautiful soothing music. Thank You all for sharing such a beautiful spirit thru a precious voice and life...Trully an Angel he is still and forever, he has just gone to the highest place to watch over all impacted by his grace.
I am always writing about iZ and I felt the deepest sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart when I got to know that we lost this beautiful man who was just perfect in every single way. I am sure, that if I was close to him, I would have fight to save him from the ones who killed him. But I do also understand that not matter what, when the time comes, we have to leave, and go were all souls go when our missions in life has been completed and he did completed his missions in this life. He then, went to the place from which he will come back to live and again he will teach us even more than he did this time. Now, I think that when we cry for him, we also cry for ourselves, because we need people like IZ in this cold and suffering world, to not loose ouselves in the misery and desperation that it is growing in this world nowadays. I have been looking for another one of this exceptional kind of man, without success. If someone here knows a man that it is like him, please let me know, I will be happy to know him and to love him as much as I love IZ!
Nobody killed him. Brudda Iz passed on from heart and respiratory troubles. His wife took very good care of him until his final heart attack. He weighed over 700 pounds and nothing he or Drs tried could take the excess weight off. His body laid in state at Hawaii's Capitol building, the only non politician given that honor. Traffic was backed up for miles as people paid respects. Is knew his time was short, but he also knew that in his lifetime here on this Earth, he was well loved. "When our time come, don't cry for me. Don't cry for me. Plant a tree in the middle ... where they play soccer," he laughs. "Kind of small, then I'll grow big."~Israel Kamakawiwoole, aka Brudda Iz
My gosh Bruddah Iz, Thee Formidable Israel Kamakawiwoole, whose songs transcended generations. The aloha runs deep. I left Hawaii in 1999 for the 1st time in my life but couldn't listen to Bruddah Iz music because it would have made it sooo hard for me to be away from home and do what I had to do. It took courage a few years later to finally allow Bruddah Iz singing to bring me back to my roots. How He fills you with pain & love & blessings all at the same time. I will miss you forever, as I miss home forever. I can go back home but it is not the home I left......You & then, I will cherish forever....
Brings back memories of hikes under the blazing sun, sweat pouring from our faces and soaking through our clothes alternating our singing whatever happy songs we could remember, john denver, verses of Alice's Restaurant..... Hope the love is still flowing to your family from the music, IZ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
thank you for telling me that I listen to his music often with what I do for work rescue and fire fighting it helps me to calm back down after a bad call blessings to you
You must have excellent taste in both music and people. I didn't know him personally but from video's I used to see, he was a happy man with a child like heart & I rarely ever saw him without a smile on his face. Add to that he had a beautiful voice & could play musical instruments, made him a very gifted beautiful soul. ;)
Sent this video to all of my friends ~~~ touches my heart sooo much ... so beautiful, so sad we lost such a precious soul ~~~ and I am so thankful he left us with his music ~~~
I certainly do have a new favorite song in this I been sharing it with everyone!! It certainly has deep meaning to me I love his humor as well; he certainly had a beautiful soul! His singing enriches the lives of those who listen. To have actually known him for those who did they knew the true meaning of treasures. His spirit lives on in each and everyone he loved and knew
I miss your concerts deaply, I went to every 1 when you came to Maui and I was home from the mainland... Miss Your Style...!!! I play your music everyday bra... r.I.p. rHoNdA kUaaNa
ALOHA 2 all! This song has so much meaning & dept unreally!! Please LOVE each other & be good 2 each other cuz you no no when your loved 1 is going go home 2 our lord & your time is pau! MOM I LOVE YOU RIP my braddah i miss u so please come home.
miss the 808 and my family,but now i got my own in the 503,handin down lessons learned and truths found,when im dead take me home to spread my ashes around,be where your at but know where your from and hold it down
When IZ was on the movie Shallow Hal his music melted my heart. When I saw the video of his memorial when his ashes were returned to the sea. I cried like a baby. Such a loss of a beautiful heart and sole
he not only was able to sing beautifully but he had the ability to make you feel the song. he was truly a gentle giant!!! Ty for you music iz!!!!! amazing. would have love to have met you!!! God bless!!
How exquisite. I am originally from Okinawa and as we island people know there is nothing like the spirit of our homeland. Thank you for this beautiful and heartfelt message. I am crying at the beauty of this song and the beauty of this man. Meet you in heaven. Hopefully I am worthy.
"Nunca seremos gratos a "DEUS" o suficiente para agradecer-mos o tamanho presente que nos deu. Foi bom enquanto durou e durará enquanto ouvir-mos suas musicas. Que "DEUS" o tenha em seu reino de gloria por todo o sempre. Vai com "DEUS" Israel iz
O mundo ganhou,nós ganhamos, Como foi bom enquanto durou, mas,como perdemos com sua "IDA", mas, nos vangloriamos de sua semente deixada a nós. Lindaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Each time I hear him sing it doesnt matter how bad a day I have had his voice clams me down and everything seems to be so much better and once again the sunshines!
you are right! The angels and Bruddah Iz have to be having a wonderful time, singing. God must have wanted him more than we did. We miss you Bruddah Iz, I'm going to hug you right after I sit and the feet of God, hug Jesus and then I'm running to find IZ and HUG him until he makes me stop. LOL
I just LOVE this gentle man's voice!!! I ESPECIALLY loved his LAUGH!! I absolutely ADORED his humor! The joke at the end is the only joke I have ever been able to repeat/remember!!! God Bless You IZ wherever you are may you be in PEACE!
No one can compare to Braddah IZ and his awesomely huge heart. His music touched and still touches da hearts of His people...my people...Us! Every song i hear from him i tear and feel his love. Rest In Paradise my brother, my idol, my Angel
Love all the Video's showing the Hawaii Island .. Beautiful man and voice.. Love you "IZ" have known you 3 days, and still sharing your voice with others who like I may be hearing your soothing voice for the first time. I love the Ducks.. LOL.. R.I.P
it is the heart and soul of a person that counts he was beautiful inside and out! with a voice of an angel He isnt gone he is within each rainbow smiling down at those he loved within each cloud his eyes shine singing with that heavenly voice of his for the Creator if we stop to listen we might hear him
WOOT! I was lookin for this song everywhere but i couldn't think of the title! From a Hawaiian living in oklahoma this song means alot to me. Thank Youuuuu.
I'm in the mainland and I never forget where I'm from. Iz was right though I didn't know what I had back home until I went FAR away. I never take home for granted and I miss Hawai'i dearly...
Aloha Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and 808ditz !!! I love this song "Lover Of Mine." Thanks for the love of your voice and the beautiful visuals that accompanied this video !!!! Me ke aloha pumehana, Robert S.J. Hu August 26, 2020. P.S. The world loves you and so do I . R.I.P. Bruddah IZ
Love Iz. Loved living in Hawaii. Nothing epitomizes Hawaii like Iz. Can't listen to his music without crying a bit. (A not so old yeat sailor here too).
Oh wow, this is absolutely beautiful my friend. You're voice makes me shiver and puts me in a trance. I am so happy I stumbled upon you. You have a fan for life. God Bless you and your gift xo
Oh no, as I read Down the comments, my heart is filled with great sorrow knowing this beautiful being is no longer with us. My heart aches, Rest in eternal peace my friend. 😔
