They showed his Life service at the end of the video. In Hawaii you do not hace a funeral, you have a celebration of the life rhe person lived with the people he touched.
That’s a beautiful thing Ellen
I also know close to 10 000 people attended, people from all over the world.
This song by the late IZ is often played at funeral and memorial services. Doesn't matter if I didn't even know the person who passed,
I cry everytime!!
It’s a truly breathtaking rendition
It was played at my Mom's funeral when she died also, but was by somebody else that was 42 years ago when I was just 12 and still makes me emotional when I think of it.
s why
Doesn't matter how many times I see this video or just hear the song, I cry my eyes out. This song already has memories attached for me and this rendition gets me every time.
The funeral was beautiful and I love them celebrating his life. 💕
Yes, that was incredibly moving
Have only seen this video a thousand times but here I am crying again. Stupid onions.
My daughter sang this for a middle school talent show. She made me cry. In a gym full of people. I worked on the west side of Oahu when we lived in HI. He had already passed away, but his spirit was present in the community and with the people. It’s a beautiful thing.
What a song to cover! I’m sure she has a great voice
This song with always emotionally touch people’s hearts whenever they hear it. Fun fact, this song, sung by the late Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole (ka-ma-ka-vi-vo-ole), was recorded in just one take, very early in the morning. May IZ fly high 🕊️
He had a god given gift. It always breaks my heart that he had to say goodbye way, way to soon.
Such a beautiful rendition of this classic song. IZ died in 1997 at the age of 38. What a loss. I too cry every time I watch this video. ❤
Big loss and big voice
@@nickforell1 and sadly big body as he died from being overweight. His lungs couldn't keep up. But I agree, beautiful voice.
I grew up in a hawaiian household and IZ is someone I grew up listening to. This song was played at my mother's own life service.
It's quite remarkable!
RIP Izzy ❤❤❤ beautiful song
Totally agree
The footage of the funeral at the end always gets me.
It’s quite moving :(
One of the beautiful things about this song ...be they tears of sorrow or tears of joy they are as sweet as honey.
HE was a beautiful soul with a huge heart. I've heard this version so many times and it always gets me emotional.
Such a beautiful voice. And I can tell this moved you. God bless homie 🤙🏼
Thanks my man. ❤️
I’ve listened to this song a million times and it always brings tears to me and hits me in the deepest parts of my heart.
He sent out spiritual calm & grace with this incredible piece. His passing was in 1997, however, with the creation that he did, he offered love & light to all of those who embrace this. Tears come each time I view or hear this. Thank you for sharing.
he rang his mate in the middle of the night and told him he had to record a song , went and did it in one take
johnny Cash "Hurt " is despair , Izzi is peace both are the greatest "death is life ..life is death " songs
The waves erasing his foot steps, his ukelele in the "jungle" alone, then bringing his ashes home...
May his soul be taken care of forever!!!!!💖
I only discovered Mr. Israel after he had already long been gone. What a voice and always a positive force.
I'm so glad you reacted to this video of Brother
IZ, pronunciation (is). You did very good with his last name. This video has 3.7B views. He died at the age of 38 from complications of obesity. Israel is considered a national treasure Of Hawaii. The ceremony at the end is called a paddle out Here in San Diego when Passes away Water into the center. I have seen paddle out ceremonies here where a wreath Is tossed into The center. There were 10k attendees. Do you have no words to Explain what it is that you just witnessed In terms of art Which includes seeing means that there is no known word in the English language that you can think of That adequately expresses how you feel. This is 1 of the highest compliments that an artist can receive. I absolutely adored your reaction
thanks, Nick! This almost always brings a few tears - "The Big Man" made this song his own by changing up the the rhythm & melody a bit... the voice of an angel - he is legendary in Hawaii... much missed.. very emotional when they return him to the sea... appreciate your reaction!
I got married to this song many years ago! RIP Iz!
Let me put it this way😊
Your hearing pure beauty.
From a heart sending love to the ears.
His voice reaches into our hearts & pulls on strings of love.
Feel it?😊
Sharing love❤
Well said!
I swear, I can and have listened to this song on loop for hours... 🥲
When IZ died, he was Laid in state a right Only given to the Hawaii Royal Family that was how much the entire nation loved him
I cry everytime- he was and is so very important he is to us Hawaiians. My daddy died before this version came out, but in Bruddah Iz I see my own daddy (another gentle giant).
A hui hou - till we are together again.
I first became aware of Iz's music when they played his version of the song at the end of the movie "50 First Dates". It was so beautiful and I was about to be married, so went to a couple music stores and found a copy of his CD "Facing Future", and I used this song during the beginning of our wedding ceremony. Quite a few people came up to me later and said "Who was that - it was beautiful!" All the songs on the CD are wonderful and I recommend you try and find it. Good Luck!
This song is a true emotional trip like few others. The scene at the end is his funeral, with his daughter dumping his ashes into the sea. It is a celebration of his life, though he was taken from us way to early!
Heard he was one of few people that had a state funeral,usually held for royalty and political figures!
Thanks Nick for the touching and insightful review. His voice in Hawaii 78 is moving too!
I appreciate that.
Just beautiful. The best version of this that I have ever heard. R.I.P. Bruddah IZ
Big beautiful teddy bear!!
I always get goosebumps hearing this beautiful but sad song.😢❤
It wasn’t sad. He made it hopeful and beautiful.
He had a beautiful voice. So sad he has left us quite awhile ago.
the most beautiful funeral I have ever seen
This was played for my niece who was sadly born sleeping 🥺 brings me to tears every time 💔
It's a such a beautiful love song.. made me cry and very touching song.. beautiful soul and place to live.. great reaction ❤️
Iz beauti music
Lives on.
R.I.P. brother
❤️🤙🏻
those last scenes with all those people on boats and in the water were his funeral and those ashes were his. Died too young.
That voice grabs your soul.
Beautiful voice, beautiful song, beautiful reaction x
He's over the rainbow now and happy
this version is the original recorded in one night. the footage at the end of the clip is from his own state funeral.
So heartbreaking
Sorry but this is NOT the original version, this is a remastered version for a compilation album. You can find the original recording in the album "facing future", mixed in 1993 I guess, and claimed as a one-take-song. You can find the story of this song very easily just google it.
I'm in tears right now 💙💚
Tears of joy at the beauty everytime. Iz lives!
Loved your reaction. You have a lovely, sensitive heart and soul.
To warm your heart after IZ's emotional performance watch all of Iam Tongi's entire journey on American Idol 2023!! You will love it!!❤
This song is so soothing yet even without seeing the video with his Life Service at the end it makes you somber, even if you only hear the lyrics for the first time, it makes you feel something that is deep down. But yeah it also soothes me so much because of how perfectly the ukulele and his singing fits together with the lyrics.
One song i suggest you should react to is Sabaton: en livstid i krig live in gothenburg, and turn the subtitles on, also if you consider doing it, you can watch their historical video beforehand to learn what the song is about since Sabaton sings about historical events, people, heroes or happenings. Mostly in wartime, but they ALWAYS take the general soldiers side in the conflict, portraying them as people, no matter the side, condeming war but celebrate heroes or heroic deeds.
Bless him.. you just want to give him a cuddle RIP sweetheart.. but yes it makes me cry everytime. Xx
I lived in Hawaii ages 3 to 8. We saw Iz perform live multiple times, and even met him once. Super nice guy. We visited waimea falls one day, and he happened to be visiting at the same time. He sat at the diner we were dining at, across from us. The server pulled up an extra chair for him (he requires two).
I miss the guy, but I feel priveledged to have seen him perform live on Oahu.
Beautiful song!
Magical voice
You should also check out Iz performing a medley of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Wonderful World". Doubly moving!
One of the most powerful singers of all time... rip iz u were a legend
Such a wonderful human being, so sad. Makes me cry every time I hear him.❤
EVERYTIME...EVERY SINGLE TIME....THAT REACTION...
Honest reaction brother, brings memories back to me everytime I see it.
When I first heard it I nearly cried because 😢 it was just so beautiful
This is the best song I’ve ever heard on my life
Love love this and it makes me cry every time!!❤
I cry each time, also. The first time I heard IZ’s rendition, I really didn’t like it, but his voice captivated me, so I would listen again and again, until I came to love this haunting version.
His song introduced us to Hawai'ian music....six years after he passed. He has several studio albums and a live album, all amazing.
This is the best version ever, what a voice.
It was truly incredible
i always cry
He also covers Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World".
I miss Hawaii and the locals, plus floating in the water and listening to the sand shift in the tide waves
One of the movies they used this song in....Meet Joe Black. I found out about IZ not long before he died. This rendition always makes me cry. RIP IZ.
It was his memorial . When I was in Maui , his music was played in pubs and got into him . Bought 2 of his CD'S there.
Beautiful ❤
It really is
You were kind of blind sided by that, but you pulled out an excellent reaction anyway. Well done. IZ is one of the angel voices I never get tired of listening to. Thank you.
This song hits in different ways for different people. Always the right way. :}
It’s real
I’m crying now 😢
It’s a very emotional song!
He did the music and vocals collectively in one take
His passing was sad , such a talent. It was a favorite of my growing up . Judy Garland
He does a great version of Country Road.
Oh I’ll have to check that out
It waa the outro song for the movie MEET JOE BLACK. Perfection!❤
I'm extremely late to this, but heeyyy I'm here 😊
This song played during a photo montage at my oldest brother's memorial service. My "Brudder Timmy" passed away from testicular cancer when he was 37 years old. 🕯️🌈
Angelic.
IZ was a truly beautiful soul, and he loved his life just as it was. I think that his large size was partly responsible for that amazing tone in his voice. Sadly, it was also his large size that took him away even as the world was falling in love with him.
❤
❤❤❤
Everytime I hear this, I still get goosebumps
Only the 3rd person to be laid in state at the capital building after his death. The other two were Government officials. A Hawaiian treasure
Wow what a massive honor.
So Sad 😞
He passed away June 26 1997
His "official" video on RUclips has 1.4 Billion views
I allways play this one july 22 because of the terrorattack in Norway in 2011 and I lost my niece..
I’m so sorry to hear that :(
Aloha I am from Hawaii. Please listen to "In this Life" by Isreal Kamakawiwaole or as we say Braddah IZ. The song you just listened to sounds familiar because is was the song on 50 first dates at the end when she's on the boat and opens the window! I hope this helps! Just subscribed and now following you! Aloha❤
0:17 "He's Hawaiian... uh... from Hawaii." Apparently, that is opposed to the Hawaiians from Texas. It's so easy to confuse the two groups. 🤣
I think the last part of this video is his memorial service…
Classic... and, as much as I love Judy, my favorite version.
I know you're starting to discover some of the amazing acapella and I wanted to recommend the Voice Play version of Valhalla Calling (originally by Miracle of Sound). Also, Home Free is a great group, too... their cover of Ring of Fire features Avi (PTX original Bass).
❤🤙🏽
I was able to lay a lei on his memorial
I found you from reacting to Taylor and stayed for everything else! if you can. please listen to Lola Montez- Volbeat! I saw you did another from them but this one is my favorite and you'll love breaking down lyrics if you like a bit of history!
Thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying Emily :)
Watch white sandy beach by IZ
This guy get chicken skin brah! Braddah IZ Lives!
OH MY GOD PLEASE LISTEN TO HAWAII78
Best and worst part of the video is that they involved the furneral..
It is a touching, beautiful, and a sad
Tribute to this man, especially since he is singing it. His version has become synonymous with funeral and memorial services now. It's the
perfect song for such an occasion.
It cuts thru a person's heart into their soul. He left this beautiful gift.
It’s hard to watch :(
The original song: Judy Garland, The Wizard Of Oz, 1939
There are so many cover versions... For me the best an heart touching version is Eva Cassidy, Over The Rainbow (live!). I think you will love it too.
Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for the info!
Very good reaction, thx.
I just recently watched a reactor (pretty face, great smile, etc) for this video. She liked the video. COMPLETELY MISSED the ending tribute to IZ's life. I had to unsub.
Glad you enjoyed
