I’m 85 years old and I’ve just lost my Husband of 65 years,I played this at his funeral last week everyone was so moved by this beautiful song it was so poignant and unforgettable. God bless you Eva
I had this played for my beautiful husbands funeral. we lived in the countryside and he loved strolling along the country lanes. it depicts our love and boy did i love him. taken way to early and along with him he took a big piece of my heart. I now live among fields of gold with memories of the most amazing husband and fantastic dad. I will love him for eternity until we meet again among those fields of gold. My precious darling xx
Sitting here at 5am, thinking about my Mum I lost 2 years ago and then my 8 year old Daughter last year. Life can be so incredibly cruel and sometimes you feel like you're going to die from the pain and grief inside, but beautiful songs like this somehow connect me to my loved ones. Eva truly was an angel on earth. Amazing talent 💜
Sad to read this Alaina, you are right , life can be so cruel. This song was played at our friends funeral last week, he and his son both died in a car accident, he had told his wife that this song was played at his moms funeral and he wanted it for his only didn't think it would come this soon, beautiful piece of music, take care and stay strong
First of all, I'm so sorry and saddened for your tragic losses, everyone expects to lose their parents and or spouse, but not their children at such a tender age. Songs can conjure up emotions, both sad and happy ones. Eva's songs always make me sad, it doesn't matter which one she sang.
I lost my wife last year. This song always makes me cry and brings back the many happy times we had in 46 years of marriage. She walks in fields of gold…I miss you hon…
I come from Poland. I discovered her for myself 30 years ago and fell in love with her voice and interpretations. Eva died when I was 30 years old. I am a strong and tough man, but when I listen to her tears as big as peas run down my cheeks. God himself desired her wonderful voice and took her to himself. I believe I will meet and get to know her one day, on the other side of the mirror. Eva... you are GREAT!
With you there fella! Just found out this moment from the first comment that she had passed away. I have been listening to her music for about 6 months and didn't know! Feeling very sad, but she has left some beautiful recordings.
There are some singers that are so gifted that they do not need extra vibrato, electronics, background singers etc. She was an extremely talented woman and left her gift to us. Thank you Eva Cassidy for sharing your gift.
Sting sings this also. Eva's version is so moving. This song stands the test of time. Eva you left us too soon. Love that I can still listen to your voice.
Im a vietnam war veteran, I have seen horrors noboby can comprehend or understand on a human level. That woman is absolutely amazing and brings me to tears everytime i hear her voice !!
us warcrimes!!! sorry, but you cannot take away responsibility for such a slaughtering in the cruelest possible way by saying "followed orders" or something. many, many poor people die for us fascist criminal wargaming serving a very few. dont participate! i d never do that, never!!!
I weep when I hear this for a world I wish had stopped progressing in time in the 70's. Such a happy time. Those fields of barley glistened in the sun.
Sting also said he was blown away the first time he heard Eva's interpretation of the song because that was how he himself first heard it in his head before he wrote it... and try as he might, he could not reproduce it himself. I love Sting's version... BUT Eva owns this song!
This is the song I listened to when they were pulling the tubes out of my daughters life support, today 3 years ago she was 31. Covid took her. Rip Kaelie you are never forgotten
From Kahlil Gibran book THE PROPHET '... Then Almitra spoke," We would ask now of Death." And he said: you would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? The owl whose night bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond. And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the King, whose hand is to be laid upon him in honor. Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of his King? Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling? For what is to die, but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink form the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance...'
Perfect choice. It's a very powerful melancholy song. Eva passed away many years before you and me and your Nan and had died too soon. We don't know what could have been.
To those who hear and are drawn to the beauty of Eva Cassidy's "Siren" song, let this, the only poem I've ever written, be a warning as to the power of her music's seduction. It references Homer's Odysseus having to adopt defensive techniques to sail around the deadly but enchantingly beautiful song of the Sirens:
Title: "Séduit par le Premier son d'Eva" "Seduced by the First Sound of Eva" As Odysseus heeded Circe's warning of euphoric demise, so should you also abide. Have yourself tethered to your ship's mast, or you may suffer a similar fate such as mine. Yes, it’s too late for me, for I've heard the enchantment of her Siren sound, and I've sailed too close to her perfection. I've seen her beauty, her golden hair, and I've seen my ship collide amongst the sea-sharpened peaks of her divine inflections. And like iron to a magnet, I've plunged myself into the surrounding waves, and I've swum to her island's shore. Yet, though I die in the meadow of her sweet song, ecstasy abounds o're and o're.
18 years ago this was my brother's funeral song. In nine days' time it will become my mother's as well. The words may be Sting's but the soul of the song is Eva's.
My favorite artist for thirty years. Fields of Gold is so beautifully sung with that angelic voice that tears just roll down. I lost my wife to leukemia 2 1/2 years ago. Whenever I played Fields of Gold in the car she said it made her too sad. She didn't care for sad. When I listen to it I recall a memory of when we were walking through an apple orchard during the "golden hour" and our three daughters were playing and gathering apples. It was fall and the lighting was magical. It is a moment forever locked in my memory and Eva always brings it into sharp focus. An artist lost too soon.
I try to but I'm broken now and I can't make it to you as you walk on I stumbled before the fields of gold and I will not make it to much longer I am but a ghost now forever left behind by so many I loved I failed myself and all who needed me im sorry for what I'm going to do. Goodbye
My great granddaughter just born has been named after you because everyone in this family has been much touched by you over many years Eva . She's named Cassidy .Xxx
It's OK for us grown ass men to cry. I'm not apologetic anymore. I'd rather be moved by grace and beauty, as well as deep loss, than not express any emotion except for some damn football or baseball or basketball team's loss or win.
I'm 31 at the moment. Over the years I've listened to so many songs, from different genre and era. The 80s, 90s, and even Jazz. If there is one song I keep coming back to, it's this track, sung by Ms Cassidy. I know this in my heart of all hearts, that if I live to be old and all wrinkled, I'd still listen to 'Fields of Gold' by Eva. Everyone has their one song. This is mine.
this was played at my wifes funeral we first got together when she was 14 and i was 16 46 years later she died of cancer in 2014 and i miss her every miute of every day xxx
I'm crying tears for u. How lucky are you to find your soul mate. And all the love and precious moments you have shared together. Some people can search a life time for what you both shared together. True love never dies. Please take care and look after yourself x
I was 16 and my husband was 14.5 when we became an item. He wouldn’t let me drive us on a date, (it wasn’t my driving, it was his manliness), so it was bicycles till he got his license. I’ve let him know to play this song at my wake and he wants Stings version at his. Hopefully that will be years from now, but you never know.
I grabbed onto this song for comfort after my mom died of a brain aneurysm when she was just 45-years-old. Well now 14 years later I've stumbled back onto it and the feelings feel like I'm back in those moments of loss. Funny how music encapsulates so much. Last year I got to meet the wonderful woman who received my moms heart and was able to listen to my moms heart beating inside her with a stethoscope. It's not closure, but it's close. Please be an organ donor.
Came to listen to this beautiful song bc of a veteran pt of mine today. We got the talking about music and this song came up in his words. He told me he was going to play this at his funeral (whenever that may be) he has been through a lot. Out of respect for him and keeping my word to him that I would listen later (which is now) and the love of music we both share, here I am listening to this beautiful song. As I listen, with tears in my eyes, I can’t help but think of all the good hearted people out there, doing the best they can, all the kind people who go through so much yet always try to make others happy and of course to all of the veterans who served this country. Much love and respect to them and those who are currently serving! May God bless all who end up reading this…you matter, I love you and I hope you have a wonderful life. God is good❤️🇺🇸🫶🏼
I discovered Eva Cassidy today, August 21, 2020, with this RUclips recording of "Fields of Gold". I have tears in my eyes as I'm typing this. Her voice is so beautiful.
I remember that experience. I discovered her almost 20 years ago when someone in a chat room (remember those?) mentioned her. I looked her up on Napster and was blown away and puzzled how someone with such a remarkable talent could go virtually undetected.
wow, welcome. i had that experience in 2003! Her voice is one of few that can make me cry. I am learning guitar for many of her covers including this one. Not easy to play and especially play and sing the way she does.
I’m 63 and just found Eva’s music a couple of years ago. How did I not know? How incredible, she could cover anything! I can’t help but feel a great sadness that she left us so soon… imagine what she might have done! God bless her beautiful soul!
A friend helped me discover Eva some years ago. Too late, she was already gone. And I never stopped listening to her songs. This one particularly brings sorrow to my heart. Some people just help others... She was one of them.
The comments here are some of the best RUclips has to offer. Beautiful, heartbreaking, hopeful and unbelievably tragic. This song, and Eva Cassidy in general, is so many things to so many people. Keep sharing your stories. They remind us all of of what it is to be human. ❤️ Thank you all
...and your prize for this true and amazing comment....google Jasmine Lamport and either of her only three songs...BREATHE, WHY? or STRONG....................take your pick. Anybody who gets Eva will get Jasmine.
This will be my Sisters final song at her funeral 16/12/2019 , I chose it and it meens the world to me, R.I.P. Colleen Elizabeth Doherty aged just 51 ,god has gained another angel xxx
My husband, William Feuer, was a musician and adored this woman's voice, frequently listening to this song and others... he died last August after a month in the ICU. I brought his guitar to him in hospital before he died and he played part of this song. ❤🩹it.
Played fields of gold at my husband’s cremation on the 21st October 2021 for everyone to think of the good times we all had when he was with us. What a lovely song. Thank you Eva xxx
I'm so sorry, my hubby passed suddenly on 20th october 2021, I still haven't seen him because of covid rules and wasn't with him when he passed. We had only spent 1 night apart in 17 years I miss him so much, take care ,hugs from my heart to you xxx💗
As my dog Ziggy, my first and most beautiful boy, passed away, I played this song and just couldn’t stop thinking of him running in a field and chasing after the sun. I will miss him forever and may his and others’ memories be a blessing
Nothing and Nobody is gone when their memory warms your heart, I suppose that loving means losing but only in the short term. Be good Greg. Warmest Wishes from Sunny South Australia M8.
On a gloomy night in September last year, I left my father in the hospital ICU (he was in a coma) and went to a friend's place to have a drink. Tired. Distraught. Damn i needed that drink. Then my friend played this beautiful version sung by Eva's angelic voice. My father passed away a couple of hours later. Every time I hear this rendition, I feel my father's presence with me. A good man. An honest man who had to battle through his life but achieved much. He is at peace now. The peace he richly deserves
hey man, you did your best and your father noticed that too for sure. Your father is now safely in god's memory and rests. But do you know god gives us the promise that we will see our relatives and friends we have lost again here on earth. God is promising this to you in the bible through Jesus the son of god when he said in John 5:28,29 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear gods voice and will come out. The bible gives so much exact information about, what god plans to do on earth, namely a paradise, and how this will affect people, so that we all will get the possibility to see our loved ones again. The bible reports on how peacefully and happily people will live together on earth in the future, where there will be no more illnesses or death. Isaiah 65:20 ...no more will there be an infant from that place who lives but a few days, nor an old man who fails to live out his days. Isaiah 65:21 ... they will build houses and live in them, and they willl plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. I send you an very hopegiving article with the theme ,,good news from god" and I'm sure that this article will build you up, because you can be sure, the future does look better than most of the people expect, because god loves us and he has a wonderful future for us in prospect. www.jw.org/en/library/books/good-news-from-god/what-hope-for-the-dead/ I wish you all the best for your future stay healthy and I send you my best regards Michel
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I like the original by Sting, but Eva's voice and the way she changes the rhythm elevates it to the next level. Amazing
It's never to late to discover a great artist. Like Van Gogh who never sold a painting while he was alive. I have just discovered Eva Cassidy. As tears are running down my cheeks I write this comment and I have discovered my musical Van Gogh. What a voice and guitar playing! What a loss. God Bless Eva!
I first heard this on a trip to the US . I walked into a record shop in Atlanta and it was playing . I had never heard of Eva Cassidy but was immediately drawn to her music so I bought 2 of her CDs . I still play them often
Her father taught her how to play the guitar. What a great music teacher and terrific student. She has such a calming effect on everyone that listens to her.
....I agree with you,I've discovered Eva Cassidy at this moment...how lovely👍😃...I also like the song "Time after Time"(by Cindy Lauper)a lot,Eva interprets it just as good as this one here,Sting would be happy too.... nice greetings !!
I've been an entertainer for 50 plus years and have known many good female vocalists but Eve Cassidy's voice is almost hypnotic. Smooth with feeling and unbelievable quality.
The first note starts and tears upon tears run down my shaken face. No other piece of music has ever moved me like this. Eva's voice reaches a point in me that I didn't even know existed.
I only JUST discovered this artist today, this morning, and I'm wreathed in tears, listening to her music. I'm 58. How have I lived this long and never heard of her?
She didn't crave fame nor seek it out. Most of her music only become more wildly heard after her death. But what a joy to discover her music for the first time!
it has been like 2 years, i am never tired of listening to her songs.so graceful voice that you get lost in it :) . its a shame we lost her very early.
probably because she only became known after she died....and mostly because she was 'discovered' in the UK before here. She could have had a recording career earlier, but she turned it down to be in control of her music.
I first heard her magnificent voice when this song came on the radio at a B&B in southern Spain in 2002. It mesmerized me. I asked the hostess who it was. She looked at me incredulously. “You’ve never heard of Eva Cassidy?” she replied. “This song is a hit on every radio station in Europe.” Back home in the U.S., no one had heard of her yet, least of all the radio programmers. I still have never heard it on the radio here.
she was very popular in Washington DC music circles, since she worked with Chuck Brown. so many years later, what a tragic loss... at least she left us with these beautiful works... this song especially just takes me to another place....
My granny passed away last October and this was her funeral song. A day doesn’t go by where I don’t miss her. I love her like there’s no tomorrow. She walked always in fields of gold💚xx
We just passed into 2022. The hard stuff is still with me, from losing Mom last year to cancer and how hard I had to work alone at my job, when they laid off everybody, to how hard they made my Mom's treatments and consultations to get and the fact that this wonderfully social woman lived cut off from most everything during her last days. I also think of my hubby who does beyond his best to help me. We pass fields of gold going to and from home every day.
I'm sorry to read that you lost your Mother. You can be sure, she is now safe in God's memory. But I would like to give you hope through Gods word that was written down in the bible. Do you know, God promises in the bible lovingly a time, when you will be able to see your Mother again here on earth. For example in Revelations 21:3-5 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God said:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. He means that there will be a time on earth when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome them to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune! Actually God is telling you... "have faith in me, I'll make everything up to you, believe in me, I take care because I love you." If you are interested, I can recommend you an very motivating and hopegiving interactive textbook with the theme: Enjoy Life forever/Your loved ones can live again" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/ This book is based on the bible and is about what God will do in the very near future, and how it can give you hope now and for the future. Even if many don't think about God or don't believe in him, God believes in us and offers us humans to be his friends, and in return he will give us peace, joy and security in a coming beautiful world in the near future. I honestly wish you all the strength and the best for your future and send you my best greetings Michel
Sting,who wrote and recorded this song said Eva’s version was the best he had ever heard,including his own....good enough for me!!! Stunning performance,simply the best!
I agree that Eva's version is absolutely beautiful and really tugs at the heart string! I love Sting's version, but Eva's gets me every time. I want this song played over and over at my funeral!
I heard this song for the first time this morning as I was about to turn off my truck and go in to work. It hit me like a hammer. Four days ago my wife of forty four years told me she has breast cancer. She saved my life twice, healing my PTSD after two tours in Viet Nam while serving in the Marine Corps, and about twenty years ago when she didn't think the care I was receiving was correct and she raised hell about it. Sad to learn Eva Cassidy passed a way. I don't know what will happen with us. All you can do is keep moving forward.
Blessings befall us in many ways. This beautiful voice gave you and your wife a promise. With faith and courage we go on, with love we heal our hearts and bodies. All the best to you both.
God bless you John and your mrs. Have faith that will get yous through hard times. Your a good man John i can tell right away. Look into thc capsules x
You support her with every fiber of your being and you both fight that beast like crazy. I’ll be lifting you both up in prayer. I’ve been fighting cancer two years now. It will never win.
Thank you Dustin Thao and your book "Vous êtes sur le portable de Sam" which brought me here... I was empty for a long time... I'm now walking in this fields of gold too... one Day my depression will only be a bad souvenir... Thanks Miss Cassidy and Mr Sting...🙏
I just lost my husband of fifty one years two weeks ago... Listening to this brings back. So many memories of all the beautiful places we've been together. In all of the wonderful forests and meadows That we would stroll through... I really do believe we will walk in fields of gold again... Bless you evacassity for this beautiful rendition.And may you also rest in peace❤
My sister adored this lady, my sister died two weeks ago....... I only ever knew Stings version but as a tribute to my sister and to this beautiful singer...... RIP and we are with you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
September 2024. Love Eva. Beautiful talent, lives on forever. Thinking of all i have lost over the years. May they all be walking in Fields of Gold. Especially my little boy, who would be 17 now. Fly high Daniel 💗🙏🏻💙💗
No, it was written by Sting for himself. "In England, our house is surrounded by barley fields, and in the summer it's fascinating to watch the wind moving over the shimmering surface, like waves on an ocean of gold. There's something inherently sexy about the sight, something primal, as if the wind were making love to the barley. Lovers have made promises here, I'm sure, their bonds strengthened by the comforting cycle of the seasons". She does a lovely version, but it was Sting's song and I very much doubt he had heard of her when he did it.
There are *very few* songs that can raise the hairs on the back of my neck and make me cry at the same time. This is one of very few that can do both...
+Rach2625 I know exactly what you mean. It hits me the same way. Almost all her music does, really. What a loss. Another "Songbird" gone home way too soon.
+Rach2625 omg that's exactly what I did!!! And I always sat in our kitchen and watched the sunset. And when my mom told me that EvA died from cancer I had to cry so hard. I feel so muCh emotions when I listen to this song! Always have, always will...
Just lost the father of my unborn little girl a few months ago and this is the first song she’s reacted to this strongly to. I have never felt her move so much reacting to something as I did just now.
On rare occasions, we are given a quick glimpse of true beauty. During those brief moments, we look or listen in awe and sadness. For these hallowed souls are with us for a short time..too perfect for us to keep
I play this song ...her song ..when I am feeling so low. It is almost two years since God took my man of 47 years. I so loved him, and I still do . Some nights, I feel his body lying next to me in bed. As he says to me, "Good night, babe," 10- 13- 2021 RIP MY LOVE
@@patriciawagstaff6302 awww, so sorry about your loss Patricia. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
When life is too much I find myself here at this track . It makes me sad for those no longer with me - but then picks me up with its beauty and inspires me to go on.
I just discovered this voice tonight after a patient mentioned how he is moved by this angel. I can barely breathe as I take in the beauty and grace of her gift to us all. I will listen to her for the rest of my life.
I was lucky enough to discover this angel today (4/26/22) while driving through West Central Minnesota. Hit the scan button on my car stereo and landed on a station playing this gem. I too will be listening to Eva for the rest of my life.
I miss my childhood. My former home, my former classmates, my old school. I miss the time when my parents were young, and the time I played all day long with a carefree mind. I grew up in the farmlands, among the fields of barley and wheat… the fields of gold…
My little puddy cat loved this cat, when she heard it shed curl right up to me, she became very poorly last year and I played this to her, also we sung it to her when we had her put to sleep, my beautiful Iris❤🌈🐾
My mom passed away about 10 years ago from multiple myeloma. This song is what we listened to while she was passing. It opens my heart back up every time I hear it.
She IS the gold standard. Her beautiful heart and voice and guitar mastery and interpretive insight reveal a depth of feeling and understanding in musical expression that is rare and precious. So thankful she had the time and circumstances in her short life to gift us such treasure. I doubt I will ever tire of listening to her and feeling blessed.
I’m in the autumn of my years. The first time I heard this song I thought, “I want this played at my funeral”. Reading the posts here it seems a common reaction. This song speaks to the search for meaning in the ephemeral condition of human life. It seems there is beauty and poignancy in life’s very transience... remembering the moments when we walked in fields of gold. How important it is for us to remember those golden moments... and Eva Cassidy brings to life this notion like no other.
We have just lost our wonderful mum and played this at her funeral,she lived to an amazing age of 90, I am67 and had the best childhood you could wish for but now I’m feeling so very sad and lost and sometimes think did I tell her I loved her enough, please tell those close to you you love them ❤️
I recently discovered her. I've been a singer all my life professional singer and guitarist and when I hear something that is incredible I can't stop listening to it. She was destined for superstardom and when I read she died I was heartbroken and I don't even know her. Absolutely heartbroken. I've never heard the voice so amazing just I don't have the words.
Eva Cassidy did not become well known because she refused to sell out to any of the major record labels. Her premature passing was a loss for the world.
A road trip in gentle misty rain, the hypnotic to and fro swish of the windshield wipers, tyres hissing on wet tarmac, so warm and snug in the car and this beautiful song came on the radio, when finished the announcer said ''The incomparable Eva Cassidy''. So true.
Her voice was so beautiful. Beyond my ability to describe. You just know, if you listen. There was a quality in her that you could feel down to the marrow. Eva was only in our world for 33 years, yet her performances will live in eternity.
Eva was my sister-in-law. She played at our wedding. Her talent speaks for itself.
we miss her dearly ❤
What an angel. Gone too soon. Her music still resonates and will for generations to come. May God Bless. 😢
The best version.❤
What a talent
Her voice was stunning, R.I.P angel 💔
I’m 85 years old and I’ve just lost my Husband of 65 years,I played this at his funeral last week everyone was so moved by this beautiful song it was so poignant and unforgettable. God bless you Eva
Katie Melua does a nice version too. This week, 31 12 2021 my wife and I will have been married for 30 years. 65 years is amazing.
And god bless you and your late husband, Barbara.
@@jasoncraig3461 thank you so much Jason that’s so kind of you.I wish you a Happy New Year.
My sincere condolences to you, Barbara!
@@amykosa1640 That’s so kind of you Amy,thank you so much.
This song becomes more meaningful the older you get.
Love U mum ❤
🌹🕊️❤️🩹
It does. I don’t necessarily think it’s a sad song I feel hopeful about the future, calming and peaceful
melancohly slowly sets in ? .
Just as life tends to do, to appreciate life you must first of all live it!.
I hope Eva is walking through fields of gold ❤
I had this played for my beautiful husbands funeral. we lived in the countryside and he loved strolling along the country lanes. it depicts our love and boy did i love him. taken way to early and along with him he took a big piece of my heart. I now live among fields of gold with memories of the most amazing husband and fantastic dad. I will love him for eternity until we meet again among those fields of gold. My precious darling xx
I fell your pain and loss, brought tear to my eye..
Oh my word, that brought tears to my eyes. Hope you're doing well..... xxxxxx
Blessing to you ! Sending loving thoughts and prayers to you .
You will be together one day again walking the fields together with NO more pain or suffering
Sending my love... thanks for sharing your story. Brought tears to my eyes
Sitting here at 5am, thinking about my Mum I lost 2 years ago and then my 8 year old Daughter last year. Life can be so incredibly cruel and sometimes you feel like you're going to die from the pain and grief inside, but beautiful songs like this somehow connect me to my loved ones. Eva truly was an angel on earth. Amazing talent 💜
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss.
Sad to read this Alaina, you are right , life can be so cruel. This song was played at our friends funeral last week, he and his son both died in a car accident, he had told his wife that this song was played at his moms funeral and he wanted it for his only didn't think it would come this soon, beautiful piece of music, take care and stay strong
Hugs Alaina Rose. Sorry for your loss.
First of all, I'm so sorry and saddened for your tragic losses, everyone expects to lose their parents and or spouse, but not their children at such a tender age. Songs can conjure up emotions, both sad and happy ones. Eva's songs always make me sad, it doesn't matter which one she sang.
Thank you to everyone who is keeping her memory alive by simply continuing to listen to her music. 🌻
The pleasure is always the listeners.
She died?! Why!
@@javamdnss Sadly Eva died from cancer in 1996 at age of 33.
Thank you Chris Robertson. I hate to hear of that happening. So tragic.
She's was a special person rip
I lost my wife last year. This song always makes me cry and brings back the many happy times we had in 46 years of marriage. She walks in fields of gold…I miss you hon…
💞
thank you for loving her so much
you honor her by seeing her walk in fields of gold
Same, twelve years gone. You have my deepest sympathy. 😢
U will meet her again my friend ❤
Hang on 💗
I am here because of “You’ve Reached Sam”! Masterpiece. I am pool of tears.
Glad I'm not alone.
hi, i also checked it out because of the book, tho im not yet finished reading it!
Same here..
i literally just got it last night and i’m halfway done
Sameee
Rest gently, Eva. Your voice still moves us.
Amen to that.
Very much so

Sleep tight Eva. The world lost you much too early.
Precise words, almost poetic. Eva hears them.
Moves us. Comforts us. Unites us. Thanks, Rebecca Benway, for your insight.
人間の心の奥深いところに届く稀有な歌声。
どれだけ心慰められたことか。
涙が出ます😢
I come from Poland. I discovered her for myself 30 years ago and fell in love with her voice and interpretations. Eva died when I was 30 years old. I am a strong and tough man, but when I listen to her tears as big as peas run down my cheeks. God himself desired her wonderful voice and took her to himself. I believe I will meet and get to know her one day, on the other side of the mirror. Eva... you are GREAT!
I agree.
Had the honor of meeting her a couple dozen times. She was singular. And knowing how she has touched you would make her very happy indeed.
I feel like you Hardy, and hope with all my heart I will meet her too, with my mother ♥♥Barbara from England x
Love and miss you Eva. This track reminds me of walking in the fields where I lived as a child with my father. Such happy memories
With you there fella! Just found out this moment from the first comment that she had passed away. I have been listening to her music for about 6 months and didn't know! Feeling very sad, but she has left some beautiful recordings.
There are some singers that are so gifted that they do not need extra vibrato, electronics, background singers etc. She was an extremely talented woman and left her gift to us.
Thank you Eva Cassidy for sharing your gift.
I would add Joan Baez to that list … although Joan is still with us … I also believe that she has the voice of an angel …….
Sting sings this also. Eva's version is so moving. This song stands the test of time. Eva you left us too soon. Love that I can still listen to your voice.

Im a vietnam war veteran, I have seen horrors noboby can comprehend or understand on a human level. That woman is absolutely amazing and brings me to tears everytime i hear her voice !!
Vincent, I can’t comprehend what you and others went through. I hope you find healing and peace. ❤️
Yeah sure you have. I call bollocks, another internet gobshite
Oh man. I Feel for you
find peace
us warcrimes!!! sorry, but you cannot take away responsibility for such a slaughtering in the cruelest possible way by saying "followed orders" or something. many, many poor people die for us fascist criminal wargaming serving a very few. dont participate! i d never do that, never!!!
Sting wept when he heard this and urged others to listen. No higher praise.
Try googling this song from the cancer advert. I defy anyone not to weep.
I weep when I hear this for a world I wish had stopped progressing in time in the 70's. Such a happy time. Those fields of barley glistened in the sun.
Sting also said he was blown away the first time he heard Eva's interpretation of the song because that was how he himself first heard it in his head before he wrote it... and try as he might, he could not reproduce it himself. I love Sting's version... BUT Eva owns this song!
@@1jonque 'Eva owns this song!' - Sting said the same thing
Wow 💕
Eva Cassidy 내가 세상에서 제일 좋아하는 가수.
목소리가 따스한 햇살 같다.
This is the song I listened to when they were pulling the tubes out of my daughters life support, today 3 years ago she was 31. Covid took her. Rip Kaelie you are never forgotten
😢😢😢😢😢
❤
I am so sorry your beloved daughter died. She is with you, blessing you every day
I am so sorry for such pain and grief. No age, she had her mission as painful for those left on earth. May you feel her love around you

I played this beautiful song for my little boy at his funeral . See him running around in my dreams ( happy )
Very sorry to hear. My deepest condolences. I still have young children. I cannot imagine how death can impact me if one of them suddenly leaves me.
I am so sorry . It must have been so difficult for you x
Very sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son. Hearing this song makes me think of him running free and well. God bless you. ❤️
My Nan passed away this way played at her funeral today love you Nan always fly high untill we meet again love you you ❤xx
tight hugs ben,,stay strong ok :)
From Kahlil Gibran book THE PROPHET
'... Then Almitra spoke," We would ask now of Death." And he said: you would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? The owl whose night bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.
And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the King, whose hand is to be laid upon him in honor. Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of his King? Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling? For what is to die, but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink form the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance...'
I;m sorry, for real
Perfect choice. It's a very powerful melancholy song. Eva passed away many years before you and me and your Nan and had died too soon. We don't know what could have been.
God bless her 🙏❤
Tonight is the first time I have heard this beautiful woman. What a blessing.
❤❤❤❤
Keep listening and also look beyond 😊
Welcome.
To those who hear and are drawn to the beauty of Eva Cassidy's "Siren" song, let this, the only poem I've ever written, be a warning as to the power of her music's seduction. It references Homer's Odysseus having to adopt defensive techniques to sail around the deadly but enchantingly beautiful song of the Sirens:
Title: "Séduit par le Premier son d'Eva"
"Seduced by the First Sound of Eva"
As Odysseus heeded Circe's warning of euphoric demise,
so should you also abide.
Have yourself tethered to your ship's mast,
or you may suffer a similar fate such as mine.
Yes, it’s too late for me, for I've heard the enchantment of her Siren sound,
and I've sailed too close to her perfection.
I've seen her beauty, her golden hair,
and I've seen my ship collide amongst the sea-sharpened peaks of her divine inflections.
And like iron to a magnet,
I've plunged myself into the surrounding waves,
and I've swum to her island's shore.
Yet, though I die in the meadow of her sweet song, ecstasy abounds o're and o're.
@saltrockshakers4205 Wow......
It's the only 'One' poem to be written, my friend 🩵
18 years ago this was my brother's funeral song. In nine days' time it will become my mother's as well. The words may be Sting's but the soul of the song is Eva's.
My favorite artist for thirty years. Fields of Gold is so beautifully sung with that angelic voice that tears just roll down. I lost my wife to leukemia 2 1/2 years ago. Whenever I played Fields of Gold in the car she said it made her too sad. She didn't care for sad. When I listen to it I recall a memory of when we were walking through an apple orchard during the "golden hour" and our three daughters were playing and gathering apples. It was fall and the lighting was magical. It is a moment forever locked in my memory and Eva always brings it into sharp focus. An artist lost too soon.
..just... always remember x
I try to but I'm broken now and I can't make it to you as you walk on I stumbled before the fields of gold and I will not make it to much longer I am but a ghost now forever left behind by so many I loved I failed myself and all who needed me im sorry for what I'm going to do. Goodbye

Me too friend 😢
My great granddaughter just born has been named after you because everyone in this family has been much touched by you over many years Eva . She's named Cassidy .Xxx
Grown ass man, tears flowing down my cheeks moved by the unbelievable voice of this angel
It's OK for us grown ass men to cry. I'm not apologetic anymore. I'd rather be moved by grace and beauty, as well as deep loss, than not express any emotion except for some damn football or baseball or basketball team's loss or win.
just turned 79. same boat.
I think iv bin peelin onions
Yep! Good for you.
Right on, bro. I get stuff in my eyes too every time I listen to her beautiful voice.
I'm 31 at the moment. Over the years I've listened to so many songs, from different genre and era. The 80s, 90s, and even Jazz. If there is one song I keep coming back to, it's this track, sung by Ms Cassidy. I know this in my heart of all hearts, that if I live to be old and all wrinkled, I'd still listen to 'Fields of Gold' by Eva.
Everyone has their one song. This is mine.
all the best to you....get old and happy
This one hit me the hardest. My top favorite too!
my song is Baby got Back
I Love this song sang by Eva. So overwhelming beautiful. I want it played at my funeral.
@@micosoriano5920 same applies
this was played at my wifes funeral we first got together when she was 14 and i was 16 46 years later she died of cancer in 2014 and i miss her every miute of every day xxx
She's still with you. ❤
I'm crying tears for u. How lucky are you to find your soul mate. And all the love and precious moments
you have shared together. Some people can search a life time for what you both shared together. True love never dies.
Please take care and look after yourself x
How blessed to love so deppky ❤
To suffer that pain is to have known great love. ❤ I envy you. Treasure your memories and cherish the blessings life has bestowed on you x
I was 16 and my husband was 14.5 when we became an item. He wouldn’t let me drive us on a date, (it wasn’t my driving, it was his manliness), so it was bicycles till he got his license. I’ve let him know to play this song at my wake and he wants Stings version at his. Hopefully that will be years from now, but you never know.
I grabbed onto this song for comfort after my mom died of a brain aneurysm when she was just 45-years-old. Well now 14 years later I've stumbled back onto it and the feelings feel like I'm back in those moments of loss. Funny how music encapsulates so much. Last year I got to meet the wonderful woman who received my moms heart and was able to listen to my moms heart beating inside her with a stethoscope. It's not closure, but it's close. Please be an organ donor.
wow
Amazing ❤❤❤
Bless you, I hope you got some comfort, sending strength and love.
That’s beautiful 💘 so sorry for the loss of your mum xxxxx
Your Mother sounds awesome. God bless you.....
Came to listen to this beautiful song bc of a veteran pt of mine today. We got the talking about music and this song came up in his words. He told me he was going to play this at his funeral (whenever that may be) he has been through a lot. Out of respect for him and keeping my word to him that I would listen later (which is now) and the love of music we both share, here I am listening to this beautiful song. As I listen, with tears in my eyes, I can’t help but think of all the good hearted people out there, doing the best they can, all the kind people who go through so much yet always try to make others happy and of course to all of the veterans who served this country. Much love and respect to them and those who are currently serving! May God bless all who end up reading this…you matter, I love you and I hope you have a wonderful life. God is good❤️🇺🇸🫶🏼
May God Bless you as well ....
Written by Sting. Eva made it her own.
God bless you, and thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
God is good , and will be faithful to you. Keep your faith and your heart respectfully loving others as God loves you.

I discovered Eva Cassidy today, August 21, 2020, with this RUclips recording of "Fields of Gold". I have tears in my eyes as I'm typing this. Her voice is so beautiful.
I remember that experience. I discovered her almost 20 years ago when someone in a chat room (remember those?) mentioned her. I looked her up on Napster and was blown away and puzzled how someone with such a remarkable talent could go virtually undetected.
Same. Came from the original song and I'm in tears right now. Happy nostalgic tears and sadness from knowing shes gone now.
I discovered her today 8th Nov 2020, tears in my eyes after reading her backstory
Welcome friend.....
wow, welcome. i had that experience in 2003! Her voice is one of few that can make me cry. I am learning guitar for many of her covers including this one. Not easy to play and especially play and sing the way she does.
My sister died yesterday 13 January ,2023 hope she is walking in Fields of Gold
All love ❤
My husband died the same January 13, 2023.
They are both walking in the fields of gold, close to the Almighty.
God Bless you
@terezmatyasi4980 love to you brother
She was loved by you! I'm certain that she is.
She is.... and singing along.
I’m 63 and just found Eva’s music a couple of years ago. How did I not know? How incredible, she could cover anything! I can’t help but feel a great sadness that she left us so soon… imagine what she might have done! God bless her beautiful soul!
Same with me. What a talent. 🥰
When I am feeling low or sad I listen to this let the tears flow and then pick myself up again and carry on anyone else do the same? 👇
Yes very much so. Such as cruel loss. I content myself that she is at peace and not in any pain. Cancer takes such a toll 😪
Always and it never seems to get better but this song helps the pain
Yes exactly the same 👍
me too, like right now with my husband of 49 years in hospital. Yes, have to pick myself up and him, too.
@@maureenmazurek9488 sorry to hear that 49 years that’s amazing I hope he feels better soon thinking of you
I have loved Eva for so many years. She is walking in the fields of gold in Heaven. ♥️♥️♥️
You said something simple but so fantastic
You can say so much in a short sentence@@jogiedhesi2021
Yes she do and she sings together with the angels
A friend helped me discover Eva some years ago. Too late, she was already gone. And I never stopped listening to her songs. This one particularly brings sorrow to my heart. Some people just help others... She was one of them.
That's quite lovely
The comments here are some of the best RUclips has to offer. Beautiful, heartbreaking, hopeful and unbelievably tragic. This song, and Eva Cassidy in general, is so many things to so many people. Keep sharing your stories. They remind us all of of what it is to be human. ❤️ Thank you all
...and your prize for this true and amazing comment....google Jasmine Lamport and either of her only three songs...BREATHE, WHY? or STRONG....................take your pick. Anybody who gets Eva will get Jasmine.
Beautiful ♡ Thank you
Absolutely stunning love Eva taken too soon ❤️

Somehow this reminds me that there's the possibility of redemption.
The gold standard on this song. This young woman was taken from us way too soon.
I want this at my funeral xc
This will be my Sisters final song at her funeral 16/12/2019 , I chose it and it meens the world to me, R.I.P. Colleen Elizabeth Doherty aged just 51 ,god has gained another angel xxx

I let my gorgeous cat go last week and as I bathed and dried her I played this and Over the rainbow😢
Rest in peace Marti and Gina. I hope you have found each other. And playing together. I love u so much. Thank u for coming into my life. ❤❤Xx
On a gloomy night in September last year, I left my father in the hospital ICU (he was in a coma) and went to a friend's place to have a drink. Tired. Distraught. Damn i needed that drink. Then my friend played this beautiful version sung by Eva's angelic voice. My father passed away a couple of hours later.
Every time I hear this rendition, I feel my father's presence with me. A good man. An honest man who had to battle through his life but achieved much. He is at peace now. The peace he richly deserves
😞🙏💙
😥❤❤😊
hey man, you did your best and your father noticed that too for sure. Your father is now safely in god's memory and rests. But do you know god gives us the promise that we will see our relatives and friends we have lost again here on earth. God is promising this to you in the bible through Jesus the son of god when he said in John 5:28,29 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear gods voice and will come out. The bible gives so much exact information about, what god plans to do on earth, namely a paradise, and how this will affect people, so that we all will get the possibility to see our loved ones again. The bible reports on how peacefully and happily people will live together on earth in the future, where there will be no more illnesses or death. Isaiah 65:20 ...no more will there be an infant from that place who lives but a few days, nor an old man who fails to live out his days. Isaiah 65:21 ... they will build houses and live in them, and they willl plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. I send you an very hopegiving article with the theme ,,good news from god" and I'm sure that this article will build you up, because you can be sure, the future does look better than most of the people expect, because god loves us and he has a wonderful future for us in prospect. www.jw.org/en/library/books/good-news-from-god/what-hope-for-the-dead/ I wish you all the best for your future stay healthy and I send you my best regards Michel

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I like the original by Sting, but Eva's voice and the way she changes the rhythm elevates it to the next level. Amazing
She makes it a love story. She sang songs as stories.
De ok sad that she is gone too early 😢 listen to angelina Jordan she go as jus to release it beautiful too but no comparison they are different
Love her voice and also Katie melua both are beautiful 💖
I agree with you. Eva is so pure❤️
❤
It's never to late to discover a great artist. Like Van Gogh who never sold a painting while he was alive. I have just discovered Eva Cassidy. As tears are running down my cheeks I write this comment and I have discovered my musical Van Gogh. What a voice and guitar playing! What a loss. God Bless Eva!
I first heard this on a trip to the US . I walked into a record shop in Atlanta and it was playing . I had never heard of Eva Cassidy but was immediately drawn to her music so I bought 2 of her CDs . I still play them often
I have the album
Her father taught her how to play the guitar. What a great music teacher and terrific student. She has such a calming effect on everyone that listens to her.
Awesome response. I just discovered her and her musical magesty
....I agree with you,I've discovered Eva Cassidy at this moment...how lovely👍😃...I also like the song "Time after Time"(by Cindy Lauper)a lot,Eva interprets
it just as good as this one here,Sting would be happy too.... nice greetings !!
I've been an entertainer for 50 plus years and have known many good female vocalists but Eve Cassidy's voice is almost hypnotic. Smooth with feeling and unbelievable quality.
Eva's voice is a living musical instrument.
@@barbarabrewer7086 Well said, because she is truly the best!
When Sting heard Eva's rendition of his Song , he cried and said " I now know that I wrote this Song for Eva " 🙏🙏🙏🙏
So beautiful
Beutiful song.
The first note starts and tears upon tears run down my shaken face. No other piece of music has ever moved me like this. Eva's voice reaches a point in me that I didn't even know existed.
♥️
I know and i share your tears ,mine for a world i once knew
Same here...and your comment must be one of the most beautiful ever... sublime tribute
Same. 😥
This one hits the soul.
Sting's original version almost killed me but this one sent me on a trip I'm still on for years now. A truly immortal voice.
Mugoletti . He himself says this is better.
@@julesburton4649 Thank you for the information. It doesn't surprise me much. He's a man of taste :)
@@mugoletti Sting says it's the best version that he's ever heard, including his.
@@igorschmidlapp6987 He is right !
Mugoletti I kinda wished they were able to do a duet
I only JUST discovered this artist today, this morning, and I'm wreathed in tears, listening to her music. I'm 58. How have I lived this long and never heard of her?
It is how I felt when I first heard her voice a decade ago. And I still feel the same.
She didn't crave fame nor seek it out. Most of her music only become more wildly heard after her death. But what a joy to discover her music for the first time!
Welcome to the club. Don't worry. Just be thankful you discovered one of the most phenomenal female singers of all time.
it has been like 2 years, i am never tired of listening to her songs.so graceful voice that you get lost in it :) . its a shame we lost her very early.
probably because she only became known after she died....and mostly because she was 'discovered' in the UK before here. She could have had a recording career earlier, but she turned it down to be in control of her music.
I first heard her magnificent voice when this song came on the radio at a B&B in southern Spain in 2002. It mesmerized me. I asked the hostess who it was. She looked at me incredulously. “You’ve never heard of Eva Cassidy?” she replied. “This song is a hit on every radio station in Europe.” Back home in the U.S., no one had heard of her yet, least of all the radio programmers. I still have never heard it on the radio here.
We are the last to recognize beauty, when all we hear is noise. Even amongst ourselves. I'm glad that you got to hear it like this, from elsewhere. 😊
@@2Cambell Aren't you precious.
I heard this song for the first time this year on public radio, KVMR, Nevada City, CA
she was very popular in Washington DC music circles, since she worked with Chuck Brown. so many years later, what a tragic loss... at least she left us with these beautiful works... this song especially just takes me to another place....
I first heard of Eva on a PBS special I went out and bought the album the next day ! Such a precious gift to us all 🎉
Never again will there be another singer like her. She is one of a kind.
Played this song at my mums funeral in June It was her favourite song love and miss you mum forever ❤
My granny passed away last October and this was her funeral song. A day doesn’t go by where I don’t miss her. I love her like there’s no tomorrow. She walked always in fields of gold💚xx
The Best Version of all time. Eva truly had the voice of an angel.
We just passed into 2022. The hard stuff is still with me, from losing Mom last year to cancer and how hard I had to work alone at my job, when they laid off everybody, to how hard they made my Mom's treatments and consultations to get and the fact that this wonderfully social woman lived cut off from most everything during her last days. I also think of my hubby who does beyond his best to help me. We pass fields of gold going to and from home every day.
I'm sorry to read that you lost your Mother. You can be sure, she is now safe in God's memory. But I would like to give you hope through Gods word that was written down in the bible. Do you know, God promises in the bible lovingly a time, when you will be able to see your Mother again here on earth. For example in Revelations 21:3-5 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God said:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. He means that there will be a time on earth when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome them to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune! Actually God is telling you... "have faith in me, I'll make everything up to you, believe in me, I take care because I love you." If you are interested, I can recommend you an very motivating and hopegiving interactive textbook with the theme: Enjoy Life forever/Your loved ones can live again" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/ This book is based on the bible and is about what God will do in the very near future, and how it can give you hope now and for the future. Even if many don't think about God or don't believe in him, God believes in us and offers us humans to be his friends, and in return he will give us peace, joy and security in a coming beautiful world in the near future. I honestly wish you all the strength and the best for your future and send you my best greetings Michel
Sting,who wrote and recorded this song said Eva’s version was the best he had ever heard,including his own....good enough for me!!! Stunning performance,simply the best!
I agree that Eva's version is absolutely beautiful and really tugs at the heart string! I love Sting's version, but Eva's gets me every time. I want this song played over and over at my funeral!
He cried when he heard it , and said that he then realized that he wrote this for Eva 💖💖💖💖
I enjoyed Joshua Davis's version when he was on the Voice tv show. Northern Michigan ♥️♥️
i think he also said that after her version , it was no longer his . But hers for always.
Best version, by far...
I heard this song for the first time this morning as I was about to turn off my truck and go in to work. It hit me like a hammer. Four days ago my wife of forty four years told me she has breast cancer. She saved my life twice, healing my PTSD after two tours in Viet Nam while serving in the Marine Corps, and about twenty years ago when she didn't think the care I was receiving was correct and she raised hell about it. Sad to learn Eva Cassidy passed a way. I don't know what will happen with us. All you can do is keep moving forward.
Blessings befall us in many ways. This beautiful voice gave you and your wife a promise. With faith and courage we go on, with love we heal our hearts and bodies. All the best to you both.
God bless you John and your mrs. Have faith that will get yous through hard times.
Your a good man John i can tell right away.
Look into thc capsules x
Wishing your wife a swift and complete recovery.
You support her with every fiber of your being and you both fight that beast like crazy. I’ll be lifting you both up in prayer. I’ve been fighting cancer two years now. It will never win.
Love embraces you both
i lost my mama 3 years ago mama my heart is lost with out you on this earth i miss my mother
Me too
You've reached Sam novel made me find this song. And I cried again.
OMG FINALLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE
Sameee
Same here
Same I'm here too because of that book. Grr
Same here🌻
Thank you Dustin Thao and your book "Vous êtes sur le portable de Sam" which brought me here... I was empty for a long time... I'm now walking in this fields of gold too... one Day my depression will only be a bad souvenir... Thanks Miss Cassidy and Mr Sting...🙏
His book brought me here too 🥹
I read the book months ago and both the book and this song just completely wrecked me
She is such a great singer and has a great and pure voice. Like if you guys agree
Was a great singer... she passed in 1996 from Cancer, her music was released posthumously
Was.
when I like a song, I put a like under the song itself. That's probably why this song has so many thousands of likes.
I just lost my husband of fifty one years two weeks ago... Listening to this brings back.
So many memories of all the beautiful places we've been together.
In all of the wonderful forests and meadows That we would stroll through...
I really do believe we will walk in fields of gold again...
Bless you evacassity for this beautiful rendition.And may you also rest in peace❤

The best version of a beautiful song. Sting said so himself.
Hers are always the best versions.
I prefer Sting's version. But this is nice too. It's a wonderful song.
My sister adored this lady, my sister died two weeks ago....... I only ever knew Stings version but as a tribute to my sister and to this beautiful singer...... RIP and we are with you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
RIP to your sister 😢
Rip to your sister and Eva ❤
September 2024. Love Eva. Beautiful talent, lives on forever. Thinking of all i have lost over the years. May they all be walking in Fields of Gold. Especially my little boy, who would be 17 now. Fly high Daniel 💗🙏🏻💙💗
❤
Daddy grew is angel wings one day after my first comment. Love you forever and always daddy. You're at peace but my heart is in pieces 💙💙💙
Isn't this just one of the most unforgettable songs? Made for you, Eva. Unforgettable.
Yessss
No, it was written by Sting for himself. "In England, our house is surrounded by barley fields, and in the summer it's fascinating to watch the wind moving over the shimmering surface, like waves on an ocean of gold. There's something inherently sexy about the sight, something primal, as if the wind were making love to the barley. Lovers have made promises here, I'm sure, their bonds strengthened by the comforting cycle of the seasons". She does a lovely version, but it was Sting's song and I very much doubt he had heard of her when he did it.
There are *very few* songs that can raise the hairs on the back of my neck and make me cry at the same time. This is one of very few that can do both...
Steve Lester t
Steve. Spot on. Only the good die young. Pisses me off. God damn it.
Moves me to tears each time I hear it.
I cry every time I hear her sing. She was the greatest voice of our time.
+Louise van der Wees Oh yes it's a beautiful song. Eva sang like an angel. Oh such a sad loss.
My mum had this CD and when I was little I used to take it and listen to this song. Still brings me to tears to this day, so beautiful.
+Rach2625 I know exactly what you mean. It hits me the same way. Almost all her music does, really. What a loss. Another "Songbird" gone home way too soon.
+Rach2625 Eva made this beautiful song by Sting ..immortal
+Rach2625 omg that's exactly what I did!!! And I always sat in our kitchen and watched the sunset. And when my mom told me that EvA died from cancer I had to cry so hard. I feel so muCh emotions when I listen to this song! Always have, always will...
Borrowed :-)
You're right, dear, this is true beauty.
My wife died last year and this is one song we played during the service
“You’ve Reached Sam” really got me visiting this song and I ain’t complaining🤧❤️
yes same 😭
I just put the song on youtube because of the book
As Sting said, her ethereal voice was unique and it's truly sad that she was not here long enough to share it with the world!
it's like she is singing beyond all boundaries, all death or life, to sing her very soul. Beautiful....
I went to see over the rainbow at the theatre and was moved to tears. Fred Hilton Durham
You SAW the invisible in her.
🙏
Quite simply the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
@@TonyEnglandUK Yes, I feel the same way.
Just lost the father of my unborn little girl a few months ago and this is the first song she’s reacted to this strongly to. I have never felt her move so much reacting to something as I did just now.
i’m so sorry can’t imagine what you’re going through. I’m here to talk if you need.Also expecting a baby
So sorry for your loss 😢❤
How are you coping? And did you give birth to your little girl? Keep strong ❤
What a gift she was to us all. I can't believe I had never heard about her until after she passed. Sing on wherever you are, songbird.
Not to subtract from Eva Cassidy, but you might look up The Seekers and their lead, Judith Durham, also the voice of angels.
I just today learned about her. I am so sorry I somehow missed her. She is an angel now and singing with God.
On rare occasions, we are given a quick glimpse of true beauty. During those brief moments, we look or listen in awe and sadness. For these hallowed souls are with us for a short time..too perfect for us to keep
Jim Brantley Welcome to this little place of humility where we can enjoy and learn from those voices.
Indeed
Amen
For the light that shines twice as bright, burns half as long.
Who else got chills listening to this?
I did
every.single.time.
everyone with a soul

Her voice comforts me, when I'm feeling low.
I love everything she sings, but this especially.
I play this song ...her song ..when I am feeling so low. It is almost two years since God took my man of 47 years. I so loved him, and I still do .
Some nights, I feel his body lying next to me in bed. As he says to me, "Good night, babe,"

RIP MY LOVE
@@patriciawagstaff6302 awww, so sorry about your loss Patricia. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
Yes.
When life is too much I find myself here at this track . It makes me sad for those no longer with me - but then picks me up with its beauty and inspires me to go on.
I know how you feel as I feel the same , but our lives must go on in their honor bless you.
Check out some original songs by Jasmine Lampot ...well worth a listen on SPOTIFY.

🌹🌹🌹
I just discovered this voice tonight after a patient mentioned how he is moved by this angel. I can barely breathe as I take in the beauty and grace of her gift to us all. I will listen to her for the rest of my life.
Thats the way she makes most people feel. Your patient showed you beauty.
I agree with you beautiful voice please listen to runrigs Bruce guthro singing life is hard another tearjerker
I was lucky enough to discover this angel today (4/26/22) while driving through West Central Minnesota. Hit the scan button on my car stereo and landed on a station playing this gem. I too will be listening to Eva for the rest of my life.
Jesus she was amazing, I tear up whenever she sings .
😥🤗❤❤🙏
Me too. We are so fortunate to be able to listen to this exquisite song whenever we want.
Jesus was amazing too.
@@antidepressant11 Jesus can suck my dick. But Eva is beyond amazing 😁
Yes and Jesus is amazing even more so. Blessings
I miss my childhood. My former home, my former classmates, my old school. I miss the time when my parents were young, and the time I played all day long with a carefree mind. I grew up in the farmlands, among the fields of barley and wheat… the fields of gold…
Oh yes😢
Sounds wonderful, simpler times 🥲😔
I too 😢❤
me to miss the good old care free days xx peace and love to you all
This song makes me think about life and how we should cherish every second and take nothing for granted you never know when you can lose a loved one
❤
So true..
Dust in the wind
Especially poignant at the moment 😪
That's the way I take it too🙃
This song, sung by Eva, hits you deep and you cannot resist the tears from flowing.
You are absolutely right it makes me cry by remembering my grandmother 🙂
Sting said Eva's cover was the way he heard it in his head.
I could resist the tears
...
That was a lie
Cried the whole way through... 😭😭😭
If there is a heaven, Eva is teaching the angels how to sing, how to REALLY sing.
My little puddy cat loved this cat, when she heard it shed curl right up to me, she became very poorly last year and I played this to her, also we sung it to her when we had her put to sleep, my beautiful Iris❤🌈🐾
My mom passed away about 10 years ago from multiple myeloma. This song is what we listened to while she was passing. It opens my heart back up every time I hear it.
She IS the gold standard. Her beautiful heart and voice and guitar mastery and interpretive insight reveal a depth of feeling and understanding in musical expression that is rare and precious. So thankful she had the time and circumstances in her short life to gift us such treasure. I doubt I will ever tire of listening to her and feeling blessed.
Three years ago on 21st August i lost my mother at the age 61. Every time when i heard this song i remember her. I love you Mom Rest in Peace
This moves me to tears ❤️🩹 Thank you, Eva. I hope you are resting in peace, angel.
What a voice ! It's sad that bad things that happen to good people , shes so missed !! It us 2024 , I play her music 😢😢😢😢❤
I’m in the autumn of my years. The first time I heard this song I thought, “I want this played at my funeral”. Reading the posts here it seems a common reaction.
This song speaks to the search for meaning in the ephemeral condition of human life. It seems there is beauty and poignancy in life’s very transience... remembering the moments when we walked in fields of gold.
How important it is for us to remember those golden moments... and Eva Cassidy brings to life this notion like no other.
We have just lost our wonderful mum and played this at her funeral,she lived to an amazing age of 90, I am67 and had the best childhood you could wish for but now I’m feeling so very sad and lost and sometimes think did I tell her I loved her enough, please tell those close to you you love them ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss, take care❤
Thank you x
The first time I heard Eva Cassidy sing this song, her angelic voice stopped me dead in my tracks and left me mesmerized.
I sang it for you, Greg.
I recently discovered her. I've been a singer all my life professional singer and guitarist and when I hear something that is incredible I can't stop listening to it. She was destined for superstardom and when I read she died I was heartbroken and I don't even know her. Absolutely heartbroken. I've never heard the voice so amazing just I don't have the words.
Me too.
Eva Cassidy did not become well known because she refused to sell out to any of the major record labels. Her premature passing was a loss for the world.
I understand❤️
This is the first time I have heard her. Wow is all I have to say. Just wow.
@@mamere7601 You are right, Ma Mere💛
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
No one can sing this quite like Eva. Haunting and lovely!
A road trip in gentle misty rain, the hypnotic to and fro swish of the windshield wipers, tyres hissing on wet tarmac, so warm and snug in the car and this beautiful song came on the radio, when finished the announcer said ''The incomparable Eva Cassidy''. So true.
Eva Cassidy is pure gold. What a gift she was to the world of music.
This is honestly one of the most beautiful (and brilliant) covers I’ve ever heard in my entire life. May she RIP.
Her voice evokes so many thoughts and memories I think I only had in other worlds and other times.
YES! You said it perfectly. Very few artists give me that feeling; can actually transport me to another place.

+Kehinde Apara yes I've had music do that but I can't think of any other voice that could transport to other worlds like she can.
+mirzamay Laura Nero is another musical artist that moves me deeply.
I refer to this album as "my healing cd". I listened, transported to a better, softer, peaceful, more embracing world. Still pulls my heart deeply.
Her voice was so beautiful. Beyond my ability to describe. You just know, if you listen. There was a quality in her that you could feel down to the marrow. Eva was only in our world for 33 years, yet her performances will live in eternity.
