Mahalo nui loa, Aloha 'oe "Izz" Ku'u momi makamae Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole. I remember hearing Iz passed away in the hospital on the radio like it was yesterday, the state flags flew at half mass in Hawaii that day. People were setting doves loose, honking their horns, singing the state motto in the streets, the motto is Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono which means "the life of the land is perpetuated in holyness. I even joined in a few times that day to celebrate his life like he would have wanted even though I was sad. At night it was beautiful with all the boats with candles in them floating away in the channel towards the ocean, it was like 10,000+ people at his funeral and he was loved by many and made some amazing music in his short 38 years on this planet. I was as big as his leg but he was the friendliest person you have ever met and would always listen to you with his eyes, something many natives or Kahuna's can do. In 97" we lost a good brother Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole RIP my friend. His ashes were scattered into the great ocean on July 12th 1997 on Mukua Beach.
It's not possible. Gagsters will kill you if you are killing one of their own, just as we would kill a gangster if they were killing one of our own. We only love people who we connect with.
@@paulis7319I don't know why you think gangsters are related in anyway, but I'll give you a retort. People are willing to die in the name of people they've never met out of duty, love of country, and love of their deity. You've never met your god, whichever one that is. You've met less than 1% of the nation you'd die for. But many are willing. Music can absolutely connect people, physically being together isn't all it takes.
IZ will never be forgotten. It is Nov. 23, 2021, listening to it with my 5 yr. Old grandson. I am introducing IZ to him, and he loves the song and is singing it. IZ lives. I discovered IZ and his music in 2007 got the chance to go to Hawaii a few years back. I felt like I had met him in real time just because I was in a place and saw people and the culture he truly loved. So, dear IZ, wherever you are, I say ALOHA! from the Philippines.
#Attraction of recording sound source, video and image, #IZ, #Legendary Giant, #Solo, #Song performance speed is the fastest. #Realism and deep bass, #with subtitles, #camera split and cut split, 1:09 sec. 🎤 The vibrato song that she sang while stretching her charming sweet voice was impressive with its intonation. (The sweet and charming voice is soothing.) Also, the composition of the original video and the transitions of the video editing are wonderful. In addition, the monochrome video in the video is a world of old memories, 🙌👍❤️ Thank you very much. 😊
I listen to IZ with my 3 yrs old son. He already loves him and sings with me. (unfortunately I can't carry a note in a bucket.) We watch his 'somewhere over the rainbow' video together, and he recognizes him immediately as ' big guy who sings; , then we continue to his song together. He is not ready to understand concept of passing away, so at the end of video, so when he asked what they are doing, I had to say they are celebrating his birthday and his life. In a way, that is true... We all will be gone one day, not just our body. Truly, when there is no one else left to remember us, but I believe as long as someone lives, he'll be remembered, in a good way. I did my part, as of 2023, someone born 2020 knows this soul. Iz is still alive.
I remember when I went to Hawaii to live in Dec 1997 he was recently passed away they played his music alot..sad..when people pass away..it's never easy! Beautiful music..I'm going back to Hawaii someday..yeah I am! Amen iz is up in heaven waiting on all of us! Amen!
I don't care what anyone thinks or says...he is one of the most beautiful souls to ever walk this earth. He will be missed greatly!! R.I.P beautiful one!!!🦋🌺
Absolutely he was a wonderful person and has left his own rainbow on this world. Unfortunately healthy living is only slowly making it's way into Hawaiian culture (and most of the US :( ) . Years of grandmothers fattening up kids is tough to just get rid of because someone told them to.
This was my son's favorite song. My son Jonathan died two years ago and we played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at his funeral. Everyone cried thinking of his life and What a Wonderful World his presents made for those that knew Jonathan David Parker.
This simple song with only one musical instrument, with a warm and purple voice like the southern seas, full of pain but also full of optimism, seems to have been sung by an Angel! It seems that the whole world needs more love!
Thanks for sharing I never knew who wrote this Beautiful song, so full of Love, Hope & dreams and to Israel, who had to be so full of Love with a pure HEART 💜 come within you are a true Angel😇❤️
The voice, the Ukulele, is so simple, pure and beautiful. We need this more than ever. My heart broke when I learned he passed away, so sad, what a loss for us
i really feel this. my dads favorite is “somewhere over the rainbow” and it’s always been in my plans to have it played when he’s also in fact…. somewhere over the rainbow. 🖤🌈 much love to you and your dad.
I can’t believe I just found him his voice is almost hypnotising I feel so peaceful and relaxed. Listening But to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord. He will be missed
I just Sit completed Charm , and Let it all Go . Peace in mind.. But tearful of a beautiful natural singer departed ' he didn't need elictric wire to have a band behind him , he had beauty in his Soul ..❤️🕊️🕊️.. Harmony .
Iz, I cry each time I hear you sing. Love You, Your spirit is still alive and well! I look forward to meeting you one day in heaven. from Hope Igarashi
The precious voice of the extremely talented Israel Kamakawiwo'ole..... 💞💞💞 This beautiful man will never be forgotten as long as we keep him in our hearts and remember him.... REST IN ETERNAL PEACE ISRAEL... YOU WERE A PRECIOUS GIFT TO YOUR FAMILY AND THE WORLD.... NOW SINGING IN HEAVEN FOR THE LORD.
I met him in Maui on my honeymoon and he was the nicest most genuine person I have ever met .....we hung out for two weeks just before his passing and those 14 days changed my life....thank you iz ....I love you
You were blessed the moment you two meet him! I would have loved to meet him! I can imagine what he was like! I lived in Massachusetts when he died and my twin lives in Oahu but I didn't have the money to go there! I'm sure he lived on the big island but I think if I could have gone that far I would have found a way to go to the big island!☺ I've never been one to scream over another person just because they were a star but I think I would have done the same thing as you! Getting to know another person where in the world is a lot more special than than meeting a rock star! ☺
Jennifer Vieira I'm sorry you couldn't meet him. But one of his cousins saw your comment and is now replying to it. It might be cool to you that his cousin is replying to your comment. So from the bottom of my heart I wish his soul and love will be with you forever. Also please keep his legacy going. Love form the whole family of IZ
Cliff Has que in order que in case she wants it in her hand if you’re a little girl it was just that way it could have been better than a lot more of a person who had no
Hawaiian singers have this incredible talent that feels like magic. First, there was Israel, and now there's Iam Tongi! When they sing, it's like they cast a spell on you. I just love them both!
To think such a lovely soul had to go through so much pain and trouble due to his health. Death was not a punishment on him but a gift, he has served the world more than any man can by sharing this beatiful voice with us, and so early death was gifted upon him to relieve his soul. Rest in peace
When my mother was having her Chemotherapy treatment at Queens Hospital about 12 years ago IZ’s uncle would come around and play his ukulele and sing to the patients he would always give out handmade lie’s … he always asked for requests and my mom always asked for Somewhere over the Rainbow. He sounded just like IZ…that was so very kind of him… My mom always felt special. Kindness changes everything.’ He brought such happiness and love to many sick and suffering patients..💜💜💜💜
@@ALPHA-vu7im I'm Happy that I live in Germany right now. But I'm afraid of all my Ukrainian brothers. But Don't look at me, there are more people who suffer more. Mahalo
Yo creo que en todo el el mundo en el aspecto de La umanida siempre él él llamado hombre siempre es es el culpable de todo lo que pasa en las familias u siendo un Pilar para sacar la familia adelante y lo mejor que tengan un buen respeto y estudio para que puedan tener un título de estudios y así lograr algo bueno en la vida porque todo el sacrificio que logramos por ellos él camino es muy corto y al final de ese camino para nosotros los padres como buscamos la manera de poder seguir con lo que más queremos mucho darles lo mejor que puede hacer por los hijos ya sea hombre o mujer cuál quiera dé los dos puede hacer Acer mucho por los hijos pero cuando todo empieza a salir mal para el hombre que pierdes tu empleo ahí es cuando empieza los problemas y todo por confiar en mi desgraciada mente que nunca jamás tendríamos ése tipo de discusiónes pero eso es mentira en cualquier familia nunca faltan los problemas u ahora como es en mí casó ya casi se termina el año y yo sin poder encontrar trabajo y asta tu propia familia casi tardan la espalda asta de pleito con golpes pueden llegar y asta asta en algunas familias no en todas te comentan que todavía les debes dinero pero bueno yo nunca les cobrado nada ni pedirles si cuando les pides un favor muy dé mala onda lo asen pero bueno solamente me queda esperar aver como me va hoy con la entrevista y espero que me vaya bien eso le voy a pedir ami padre y sobrino andarían y mí hermano José Carlos Vargas González que me echen la mano con eso y espero en Dios y ellos que me vaya bien y así poder irme a mi casa porque la verdad ya no estoy bien aquí y me llevo a mi mamá ya que ningunos de mis hermanos quieren cuídala mucho menos los dos hijos de mi mamá quien sabe porque nomás que sé acuerden que cuando era niño ella daba todo por cuidarnos y está el rabo nos limpiaba y ahora para ellos es un estorbo pero todos ahí vamos a llegar y comentó que nunca jamás volveré a pedir ami hijos que me cuiden porque ya me comentaron que ellos no quieren batallar con migo y por eso ahí en en curva solo me quedaré así nomás gracias y disculpa que tengas lindo día asta nunca 💀
The world needs more wonderful souls like IZ. He was so gentle, happy and positive with people. Always here to sheer you up and play good music. We miss you IZ!!!😖😥
May this kind and gentle man rest in the arms of the Angels of our Creator. He spread kindness, love, and peaceful thoughts with his music. A truly gentle soul.
His voice is like an angels! I've played his songs in the car, at work for baby's and children to fall asleep to and on my phone! His voice makes me melt and feel free!❣💞😢🎶😍
I lost my best friend today and this is the only thing that made me okay enough to come out of my room , he has such a beautiful voice it just makes me happy
hackman669 well, if it's true, why did his angel let him eat so much junk food that he died ? Actually there is no such thing as angel or soul, just neuron composed brains that are data treatment machines. One part of these brains makes that ppl love junk food because it used to be rare in nature, which explains why he ate so much he died. Another part of this neural net creates ~random thoughts which allow you to learn things ,but sometimes it goes wrong and you end up with stupid thoughts just like "we have magic souls" or "every good soul have an angel". And if you ask why it does work like that and start again randomly thinking it's some god's shit, well, it's like that because it's the best way for something to survive with our world's physics. Im always open to discussion in order to learn more if anyone wants it
A big Man with a BIGGER Heart a gentle giant who left us way to early. You live on IZ because we continue to play your music and watch your videos RIP my big hearted friend...
Judge not, that you not be judged! be careful judging people. You could substain an injury that could cause you not to be able to work out, and boom you get depressed, eat wow now you are seven hundred pounds. GOD Forbid! Just saying×××××××××
I was born 92 and grew up on listening to this. Now I'm 30 I wish I could have traveled and met you. That would be a dream. But one day the rainbow will bring me to meet you. THANK YOU. On behalf of everyone here god bless your soul.
I lived in Hawaii for the first 7 years of my life and my parents loved IZ. Turns out that their nonstop listening made me also love him music, which I’m so thankful for because his music is truly amazing. I’m older now, but these songs are still so nostalgic and lovely.
This was a man who loved, thru and thru. Someone to admire. Didn't know ya IZ but I have no doubt you impacted the lives of those around you. Thanks for making the world a lil more wonderful.
I found this man music late in life but he is one of the most spectacular persons I've ever heard and heartfelt and I will never forget them I wish I would have known this man
what a great man and sweet soul. its too bad that no one tried to help him or he would be alive today, but, it is what it is. i sang his version of this song and recorded it, as i loved it that much. i told the hubby, if i go first, please play IZ’s version and maybe even my version too, at my funeral. thats how much i love his version.
I love this song because it gives me a nostalgic feeling, and it brings back old memories of my late wife. It was her favourite song but I lost her to cancer in 2020.
This man.. is the best, i remember listening to his songs when i was just a child i truly miss him, i can boldly say that you are of a rare kind. You have been such and much more to me. Thank you so much.
I recently discovered IZ. Something about his heavenly voice just brings you to tears. It's like a warm hug from the afterlife. Now I'm crying. Long live IZ. If you are reading, I wish you prosperity and love in this life.
Your version of Over the Rainbow was played at my mom's funeral in September 2019. Such a beautiful song; it brings me to tears every time I listen to it. Thank you for the remembrance of my mother. I will listen to this song again and again. Thank you.
What's great about this song it will awaken your soul so it can reconnect to the world again. We are all in this life together so lets make it a wonderful and magical world it is. We all have the power and the energy to make it happen.
His soul was pure and he was a good man. He was beloved by his people and a honored relation. Anyone who focuses on the shell of a man will never see the true greatness within. It is his light that touched so many and continues to shine.. Rest in peace.
beauty is within not outside but his singing is heart warming but know he truly is in a wonderful world. :'( he is looking down and smiling at all of his fans. he loves each amd everyone of you
"No es más grande quien más espacio ocupa, sino quien deja el vacío más grande cuando se va" , y este ángel nos dejò un vacío irremplazable en el alma.
Same here ... they use the beginning of his "over the rainbow" for a tv commercial and I never knew that was him til now. I forget what commercial it's on, but I always enjoy hearing it. Too bad he's gone, but his music isn't.
Mom has been gone for 10 years now and this song still brings me to tears cuz it makes me think of her. I really miss her and everyday it just gets harder and harder. I act like I’m ok but inside my heart it gets heavy and hurts. Today is Mother’s Day and once again this song pops up like it knows that she is speaking to me thru this song. It’s amazing and I’m not afraid to cry. I really ain’t. I miss you mom 05/12/2024. Happy Mothers Day
Watching this in june 2020, these are hard times for a lot of people, sending love to all of you ❤️to the person reading this, i may not know you, but i genuinely love you, spread the love people, please.
All lives matter but, black people are being discriminated by american cops, we are saying black lives matter to support them, ofcourse all lives matter, but like i said, we're saying black lives matter to support the people who are being treated wrong
Woody 404 in my opinion it’s just stupid with racism, the fuck did someone’s else’s skin tone do to them. minorities should not be beat down just cuz they’re different. and yes, all lives matter, but also, if one house was on fire, wouldn’t that house matter more than the ones that are not on fire? just saying
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's rendition of "What a Wonderful World" is a testament to his stature as an iconic figure in Hawaii's musical culture. Through his soulful interpretation, the song becomes a heartfelt expression of awe and appreciation for the beauty of the world. The lyrics paint vivid images of nature's wonders and the simple joys of life. IZ's rendition captures the essence of the original song and infuses it with a unique Hawaiian charm, making it a timeless piece that resonates with audiences globally. As he sings about the colors of the rainbow and the kindness of people, the music becomes a celebration of life's wonders. Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole's rendition stands as a musical legacy, reminding us to find joy in the world's simple pleasures.
There is hope, even in this time of suffering. Jesus Christ died to take away the sin of the world. A day will come when he will cure every disease and wipe away every tear. Do you trust him?
Cindy Rizzato I guess it is relaxing i just got through lifting, it will be now. The perfect Sunday would be with Cindy maybe a walk in the woods or a pic nick at a fish pond with the dogs? Have a great week sweet heart
Gracias por compartir estás maravillosas canciones .. de verdad .. es único IZ ... No lo conocía lo juro . Pero cuando en la radio sonaban sus músicas el radio era solo para mí . De verdad. No tengo palabras para describir lo que ase sentir en el alma y en la mente está maravillosa canción . Te queremos IZ .. eres mi idolo
Only the best people die, and IZ was one of the greatest Res In Paradise Israel 🎊👼🏻🕊 Happy 61st Birthday legend 🎂🎂🎊🎉🎁 God wanted a legend to live with him I’ll miss you IZ
Chris Mc. I mean “the best people “ when someone special dies , it’s how god takes people into heaven It’s not like I’m saying everyone else is not special
Arabian Nights well I’m saying that good people go to heaven and I know everyone dies, but the best people as in the kind hearful ones that die too soon
We are in our homes now because of covid-19. if you read this please remember you are not alone. When the time come we will see again what a wonderful world it is
beautifully song by you Iz. I just heard this song in the movie FINDING FORRESTER. now I look here on RUclips and discover that you're in Heaven. So sorry you're not here with us now. but when you were here with us, you gave us the gift of your loving voice. and I appreciate that.
That very well may be. However my families experience was great. To my knowledge the mainlanders are very welcomed there and we had no negative dealings. Thanks for your concern. If given the chance we would most certainly go back.
A Big man with a big heart & a little ukulele… one of the best songs ever composed. Took two of the most beautiful songs ever written, and merged them together flawlessly 😭

@@tiffanieandersen2241 Ah, I tried my best, went on all websites and the one I found being Norwegian was Thank you. Would you happen to know the actual translation? I'm up to any fixes in my translations. I never tried using google translator. Turns out it's "Takk skal du ha".
@@theyluvvshark Yeah. Well I speak danish which is "Tak". Norwegian is "Takk" as far as im concerned. Quite impressive if you went to find all those yourself. "Takk skal du have" is "Thank you". "Takk" would be more like just "thanks"
I break down crying when i head this. Because the world isnt like this anymore. Its filled with hate and dispare. I think everyday of ending it but when i hear this i know that at some point it was better then it is now and maybe just maybe we can get back to that. Gods speed to anyone reading, may you have a blessed day.
You say the world is filled with hate, but go outside and ask a random stranger for directions, will he mislead you with bad intentions? No he won't. What I'm saying is that sure there is hate, there is bad people, but most of us are people with a moral compass trying to do good. We help each other out.
The world is the same as it's always been, just like heat doesn't disappear but differs in amounts, so does evil never dissapear but it changes form. It's still the same evil, hate etc
All things considered i think the world is slowly improving overall. Less things slavery, although it does still exist in some places.. more things like charitable organizations. Just gotta find the beauty
Why, even the original man who sung it, Louis armstrong, knew all about war, hunger, and even pollution. But, he didn't see it in a way that made him sad. Instead, he saw what this world could be if we just see everything good, instead of everything the media would go to show. And, even if it's not so good, think of how wonderful it could be if you just tried to make it better. Not just you actually, but everyone, trying to make a wonderful world.
What a wonderful man! I'm asking for a ukulele for Christmas and hopefully I get it.... if I do, this song and somewhere over the rainbow will be the first songs I'll learn ❤️❤️
Good luck with that! It's actually pretty easy. I looked online at sheet music and learned to play the uke along with this song in about an hour. I haven't figured out the exact strumming pattern though.
I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do But they're really saying I love you. I hear babies cry, and I watched them grow They'll learn much more than I'll ever know And I think to myself what a wonderful world. Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Dahz da only good-Kine cry, I feel and believe nowadayz !!!! Mahalo
Oh, Alohaaaaaaaaaaaa (♾)
The precious voice of the extremely talented Israel Kamakawiwo'ole..... 💞💞💞
This beautiful man will never be forgotten as long as we keep him in our hearts and remember him....
REST IN ETERNAL PEACE ISRAEL... YOU WERE A PRECIOUS GIFT TO YOUR FAMILY AND THE WORLD....
NOW SINGING IN HEAVEN FOR THE LORD.
I met him in Maui on my honeymoon and he was the nicest most genuine person I have ever met .....we hung out for two weeks just before his passing and those 14 days changed my life....thank you iz ....I love you
You were blessed the moment you two meet him! I would have loved to meet him! I can imagine what he was like! I lived in Massachusetts when he died and my twin lives in Oahu but I didn't have the money to go there! I'm sure he lived on the big island but I think if I could have gone that far I would have found a way to go to the big island!☺ I've never been one to scream over another person just because they were a star but I think I would have done the same thing as you! Getting to know another person where in the world is a lot more special than than meeting a rock star! ☺
That's Amazing! My cousin was so genuine and loved everyone. This is Love from the Family of IZ
Jennifer Vieira I'm sorry you couldn't meet him. But one of his cousins saw your comment and is now replying to it. It might be cool to you that his cousin is replying to your comment. So from the bottom of my heart I wish his soul and love will be with you forever. Also please keep his legacy going. Love form the whole family of IZ

Hawaiian singers have this incredible talent that feels like magic. First, there was Israel, and now there's Iam Tongi! When they sing, it's like they cast a spell on you. I just love them both!
Don't forget Nicole Scherzinger and Bruno Mars.
He has one of the biggest heart. R.I.P. big guy
Do you mean that literally or figuratively

yup
I have never seen a comment section filled with more love hope and positivity then that of his songs
No one Knows because it's iz brother or sister
He has brought love through his songs
Just don't read the replies- so many trolls :( i wish everyone would realise life is short and that we're all equals
@@jesusisking3582 that's right
Oi
To think such a lovely soul had to go through so much pain and trouble due to his health. Death was not a punishment on him but a gift, he has served the world more than any man can by sharing this beatiful voice with us, and so early death was gifted upon him to relieve his soul. Rest in peace
Crafty Cheese how did he die?
obesity, or health issues due to obesity.
+kathleen christian true
Crafty Cheese well it is a gorgeous song and it is sad but only one man went through more suffering for humanity…Jesus.
true bro
When my mother was having her Chemotherapy treatment at Queens Hospital about 12 years ago IZ’s uncle would come around and play his ukulele and sing to the patients he would always give out handmade lie’s … he always asked for requests and my mom always asked for Somewhere over the Rainbow.
He sounded just like IZ…that was so very kind of him…
My mom always felt special.
Kindness changes everything.’
He brought such happiness and love to many sick and suffering patients..💜💜💜💜
Just by hearing his music Im totally sure this guy was special he had something to transmit peace and love
I agree completely.😊🌹❣
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo! Es una leyenda!
exactly
@@studiedatyomommahouse4099 I’m feeling the same thing 😢 let’s try to stay warm and in the light ❤
A soul that lives in us all should be this delightful. And living in the most beautiful place in the world... Someday.. some day..
I'll take you there Andrea!
God bless israel god bless kurdish
He had such a special voice. He's a person who reminds you what life is all about, enjoying, being good and genuine.
Israel's Music is the only thing that makes me wanna GO through the hard times right now. We love you IZ from Ukraine
How are you bro the situation cause of the war?
@@ALPHA-vu7im I'm Happy that I live in Germany right now. But I'm afraid of all my Ukrainian brothers. But Don't look at me, there are more people who suffer more. Mahalo

The world needs more wonderful souls like IZ. He was so gentle, happy and positive with people. Always here to sheer you up and play good music. We miss you IZ!!!😖😥
magical man and voice ....what a shame he had to pass away ......a real loss
nicnatnattle verdade 😊
IZ will never be "was", he will always be IZ.
Yes
How did he die :((
+Ari da Fool he was morbidly obese. had a bunch of health problems that compiled
+Ben Beier oh no I just found out so sad ;-; rip
obesity can contribute to respiratory problem...
May this kind and gentle man rest in the arms of the Angels of our Creator. He spread kindness, love, and peaceful thoughts with his music. A truly gentle soul.

I would like to have lirycs of this song. Could you write me them please? I am Ukrainian
How good would this planet be if our "leaders" had the spirit of people like Israel?
He's not dead, he lives in a wonderful world somewhere over the rainbow. :)

True...
His voice is like an angels! I've played his songs in the car, at work for baby's and children to fall asleep to and on my phone! His voice makes me melt and feel free!❣💞😢🎶😍
Jennifer Vieira I most definitely play this song every time for my son to fall asleep 💯
What a wonderful voice....

Me here in Sydney Australia in October 2024. G'day all lovers of Brudda Iz and the legacy he left the world. Bless him and you.❤
Proof that there are Angels on earth....
were* he sadly passed away :((
There are a lot more than you know. One angel for every good soul.
kate lane
Aloha Kate, blessed are we that we had him. The music he brought....he passed on such wonderful gift...
just hope some don't fall on ya!
hackman669 well, if it's true, why did his angel let him eat so much junk food that he died ? Actually there is no such thing as angel or soul, just neuron composed brains that are data treatment machines. One part of these brains makes that ppl love junk food because it used to be rare in nature, which explains why he ate so much he died. Another part of this neural net creates ~random thoughts which allow you to learn things ,but sometimes it goes wrong and you end up with stupid thoughts just like "we have magic souls" or "every good soul have an angel". And if you ask why it does work like that and start again randomly thinking it's some god's shit, well, it's like that because it's the best way for something to survive with our world's physics. Im always open to discussion in order to learn more if anyone wants it
The world lost a wonderful man. :(
RIP Iz...
+Whoami691 He's not lost, he's still with us. :)

Right now, he's somewhere over the rainbow.
Rest in peace "iz"
A big Man with a BIGGER Heart a gentle giant who left us way to early. You live on IZ because we continue to play your music and watch your videos RIP my big hearted friend...
Hope he joins me at my wedding dance. Many of his songs are making my list.
Judge not, that you not be judged! be careful judging people. You could substain an injury that could cause you not to be able to work out, and boom you get depressed, eat wow now you are seven hundred pounds. GOD Forbid! Just saying×××××××××
I was born 92 and grew up on listening to this. Now I'm 30 I wish I could have traveled and met you. That would be a dream. But one day the rainbow will bring me to meet you. THANK YOU. On behalf of everyone here god bless your soul.
I lived in Hawaii for the first 7 years of my life and my parents loved IZ. Turns out that their nonstop listening made me also love him music, which I’m so thankful for because his music is truly amazing. I’m older now, but these songs are still so nostalgic and lovely.
This man had the voice of an angel - everytime I listen to his song, I get the goosebumps all over. And when this happens it means I like the music
He came,he saw, he sang with us and now he is singing with the angels
no, hes somewhere over tge rainbow
that comment was not mine
Iz lives and he'll live forever in this song
His music has comforted me greatly after losing my husband in 2019. Somewhere over the rainbow had me sobbing knowing Steve was with me at that moment
Lost my husband in 2019 had me sobbing too, so sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for your losses
hey man, i am brazilian, i love this song
This was a man who loved, thru and thru. Someone to admire. Didn't know ya IZ but I have no doubt you impacted the lives of those around you. Thanks for making the world a lil more wonderful.
Es cierto y mis respetos para el ...y también para usted mi amigo
I found this man music late in life but he is one of the most spectacular persons I've ever heard and heartfelt and I will never forget them I wish I would have known this man
I was 12 when I found him 2 years ago, Its weird missing someone you never met >:
Does anyone else just want to give this guy a hug?
For the answer to that question look around 3:43 in the video. That was his funeral; no sadness allowed.
rip iz :(
what a great man and sweet soul. its too bad that no one tried to help him or he would be alive today, but, it is what it is. i sang his version of this song and recorded it, as i loved it that much. i told the hubby, if i go first, please play IZ’s version and maybe even my version too, at my funeral. thats how much i love his version.
I love this song because it gives me a nostalgic feeling, and it brings back old memories of my late wife. It was her favourite song but I lost her to cancer in 2020.
This man.. is the best, i remember listening to his songs when i was just a child i truly miss him, i can boldly say that you are of a rare kind. You have been such and much more to me. Thank you so much.
This guy is a legend
Malice The renegade Someone only becomes a legend when they pass on

I recently discovered IZ. Something about his heavenly voice just brings you to tears. It's like a warm hug from the afterlife.
Now I'm crying. Long live IZ. If you are reading, I wish you prosperity and love in this life.
Your version of Over the Rainbow was played at my mom's funeral in September 2019. Such a beautiful song; it brings me to tears every time I listen to it. Thank you for the remembrance of my mother. I will listen to this song again and again. Thank you.
What's great about this song it will awaken your soul so it can reconnect to the world again. We are all in this life together so lets make it a wonderful and magical world it is. We all have the power and the energy to make it happen.
His soul was pure and he was a good man. He was beloved by his people and a honored relation. Anyone who focuses on the shell of a man will never see the true greatness within. It is his light that touched so many and continues to shine..
Rest in peace.
I fell in love with Bruddah IZ & his beautiful music! R I P
I fell in love with the gentle sweet tones from this beautiful soul. RIP IZ
beauty is within not outside but his singing is heart warming but know he truly is in a wonderful world. :'( he is looking down and smiling at all of his fans. he loves each amd everyone of you
SSGSS Goku I read that in gokus voice due to your profile picture.
Don't be sad that a legend like him is gone. Be happy because he is now over the rainbows and didn't see how 2020 turned out.
He’d be so disappointed if he saw 2020

Just found this and "over the rainbow" then found out he is gone. Big man-Big talent- Big loss. RIP big man . Aloha.
Well said.
What a wonderful thing to say about a wonderful person THX
Same here ... they use the beginning of his "over the rainbow" for a tv commercial and I never knew that was him til now. I forget what commercial it's on, but I always enjoy hearing it. Too bad he's gone, but his music isn't.
Brian Zaborowski he will never die, the lengend will always be among us
I TOO ONLY JUST FOUND HIM 2 DAYS AGO! I DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS GONE! I COULD LISTEN TO HIM ALL DAY. I NEED TO SEE IF HE HAS ANY ALBUMS AVAILABLE.
Mom has been gone for 10 years now and this song still brings me to tears cuz it makes me think of her. I really miss her and everyday it just gets harder and harder. I act like I’m ok but inside my heart it gets heavy and hurts. Today is Mother’s Day and once again this song pops up like it knows that she is speaking to me thru this song. It’s amazing and I’m not afraid to cry. I really ain’t. I miss you mom 05/12/2024. Happy Mothers Day

All lives matter but, black people are being discriminated by american cops, we are saying black lives matter to support them, ofcourse all lives matter, but like i said, we're saying black lives matter to support the people who are being treated wrong
Woody 404 in my opinion it’s just stupid with racism, the fuck did someone’s else’s skin tone do to them. minorities should not be beat down just cuz they’re different. and yes, all lives matter, but also, if one house was on fire, wouldn’t that house matter more than the ones that are not on fire? just saying
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's rendition of "What a Wonderful World" is a testament to his stature as an iconic figure in Hawaii's musical culture. Through his soulful interpretation, the song becomes a heartfelt expression of awe and appreciation for the beauty of the world. The lyrics paint vivid images of nature's wonders and the simple joys of life. IZ's rendition captures the essence of the original song and infuses it with a unique Hawaiian charm, making it a timeless piece that resonates with audiences globally. As he sings about the colors of the rainbow and the kindness of people, the music becomes a celebration of life's wonders. Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole's rendition stands as a musical legacy, reminding us to find joy in the world's simple pleasures.
Even now when the world is overwhelmed by the COVID-19, It is still a wonderful world. Thank you IZ for this..
Yes but much has changed over a short amount of time sadly
so true bro
There is hope, even in this time of suffering. Jesus Christ died to take away the sin of the world. A day will come when he will cure every disease and wipe away every tear. Do you trust him?

he died ?? :(( dam.
ya, he died in 1997
a yr after Eva Cassidy died another beautiful voice gone too soon
Oh he knows.....what a beautiful voice and person. He is probably up there now trying to figure out what is going on with this crazy world!
True. But he never wanted all of the fame, he just was a peaceful man with a big heart and beautiful voice.
beautifully song by you Iz.
I just heard this song in the movie FINDING FORRESTER. now I look here on RUclips and discover that you're in Heaven. So sorry you're not here with us now. but when you were here with us, you gave us the gift of your loving voice. and I appreciate that.
now you're Over The Rainbow in a much better place at peace.
keep eating like he did and you will be there soon too piggy

Thank you being Norwegian? Not sure if it's some kind of bad joke or? I can tell you it's not right, in case it isn't a joke.
@@tiffanieandersen2241 Ah, I tried my best, went on all websites and the one I found being Norwegian was Thank you. Would you happen to know the actual translation? I'm up to any fixes in my translations. I never tried using google translator. Turns out it's "Takk skal du ha".
@@theyluvvshark Yeah. Well I speak danish which is "Tak". Norwegian is "Takk" as far as im concerned. Quite impressive if you went to find all those yourself. "Takk skal du have" is "Thank you". "Takk" would be more like just "thanks"

You were the most gentle man in this world
RIP Bro
Wdym, he crushed me on the London Tube, took 4 Spaces or more stated the old bailey!
I break down crying when i head this.
Because the world isnt like this anymore. Its filled with hate and dispare. I think everyday of ending it but when i hear this i know that at some point it was better then it is now and maybe just maybe we can get back to that. Gods speed to anyone reading, may you have a blessed day.
There will be more like him. Hardship really makes the diamonds stand out. Focus on what shines.
You say the world is filled with hate, but go outside and ask a random stranger for directions, will he mislead you with bad intentions? No he won't.
What I'm saying is that sure there is hate, there is bad people, but most of us are people with a moral compass trying to do good. We help each other out.
The world is the same as it's always been, just like heat doesn't disappear but differs in amounts, so does evil never dissapear but it changes form. It's still the same evil, hate etc
All things considered i think the world is slowly improving overall. Less things slavery, although it does still exist in some places.. more things like charitable organizations.
Just gotta find the beauty
Why, even the original man who sung it, Louis armstrong, knew all about war, hunger, and even pollution.
But, he didn't see it in a way that made him sad. Instead, he saw what this world could be if we just see everything good, instead of everything the media would go to show. And, even if it's not so good, think of how wonderful it could be if you just tried to make it better. Not just you actually, but everyone, trying to make a wonderful world.
Every time I hear this song and somewhere over the rainbow i cry. Rest in peace iz
What a wonderful man! I'm asking for a ukulele for Christmas and hopefully I get it.... if I do, this song and somewhere over the rainbow will be the first songs I'll learn ❤️❤️
Vinny Rocks it's a hard song to learn as a beginner on ukulele, trust me, but you could try.

Good luck with that! It's actually pretty easy. I looked online at sheet music and learned to play the uke along with this song in about an hour. I haven't figured out the exact strumming pattern though.
Vinny Rocks What a treat for the soul,,,🎶
Vinny Rocks I got one for my bday and I'm really bad
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
But they're really saying I love you.
I hear babies cry, and I watched them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world.
