Over the Rainbow has been remade countless times over the years and no one has done it better than IZ nor will it ever be done better than IZ. I would like to think that IZ is walking on a white sandy beach with the person in his dreams.
I loved his singing. I had no idea he had died. 😢. Love from Australia 🇦🇺. And yes it was somewhere over the rainbow. I would play it over and over again.
All of a sudden I'm being recommended songs from this beautiful man I've never heard of before. Upon reading the comments I discover that he is now an angel singing in heaven. What a beautiful voice ❤❤
Honestly a huge shame how he went down, but another example of the dangers of extreme gluttony. Dude coulda been living in luxary, but let his impulsive addictions take control. Tragic
RIP IZZY! Your voice is like the soul of natural Hawaii set to music. Even in the video(s) of his funeral ceremony, you can see how beautiful the ocean is and how many fans full of love showed up to celebrate his life/“paddle out” for him one last time.
His eyes are speaking. I can see lots of solitude, depression I’d say, sadness at its peak, but even a strong sense of life in its purest meaning. I am so sad.
@@yoshicodm4463 no you are wrong and robskunk is very accurate and correct. This song was about his dead family and wanting them all to be together on a white sandy beach 😢
Ao nascer, um choro! Com o tempo, as poucas palavras aparece, e com o mesmo tempo, um dia chega uma grande harmonia daquele choro que progrediu. Lamentável mais tudo que tem início um dia chega um fim!! Aquela linda voz se cala, deixando para traz um filme de um grande guerreiro!!! Vc é o ator principal do seu filme"A VIDA" faça bonito!!!
Rest well brother you will never be forgotten. When you sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow it instantly became yours and the world knows and misses you and your beautiful music !
Until just now, I thought his Somewhere Over the Rainbow *and* What a Beautiful World were/was the 1st version. I seriously thought that Wizard of Oz just used his song in it. Still the best version.
@@debvanportfleet5725 Right? If I hear any other version, I “have” to stop what I’m doing & play his. It’s just not the same. (I do still like it in Wizard of OZ, but I have to stop the movie after that scene 😄)
I first listened to this when I was like 3-5 years old and unfortunately forgot about it as I grew up but now I am listening to it daily to hear his amazing singing
I have played this song for my grandson since he was about 3 months old and he is now 18 months and every time he hears it he smiles. It helps calm him and get him to sleep.
Whenever he came to Maui my friend delivered O2 to him . He said he was the the most humble famous person he ever met, just a regular guy with tremendous talent .
Que pérdida tan irreparable , ese joven era un alma de ángel , bello por dentro y por fuera , sus canciones son relajantes armoniosas , preciosas y es voz , sin palabras
His voice is so gentle and piercing. Somebody, anybody in his life, could have done SOMETHING to encourage him to lose massive amounts of weight. It would have been so much easier to walk, to sing, to sleep...anything.
Gratidão para sempre em nossos corações, eterno Cantor com sua belíssimas canções em uma voz suave e sublime encantador! Paz para Mundo, familiares e amigos!!
Met Braddah IZ couple times at HNL flying on Aloha Air back in the days. He had a gig one time at Borders, Books and Music at Ward Center in Oahu back in the 90's before his passing. My wife use to work the coffee counter there and got him to sign my uke and the banner that was being displayed that day still have them both to this day. Aloha o'e
I'll never forget when he died and they made the tribute video for him. So sad but so cool to see a tribe honour and love this man so much. The send off was amazing. I hope ur resting in peace my friend, what a wonderful world u made this place. ❤
For those who don’t know this song was made for his family that all passed away.. And it’s called a white sandy beach bc he repeatedly had the same dream of them all together on the beach… RIP IZZY! WE MISS U💗 (Edit) a law of you are saying iz didn’t write the song. I just heard that from an article, but I know that he sang this song because of missing his family.
I realized this recently. They really do have something special, a certain soul and essence to their voice. Hope to visit them some day and make friends.
I grew up with Bradda Iz n music in Hawaii Nei for 10 yrs. Yes we all miss him. Good thing we have Fiji and other notable artist to fill that huge void in our younger days.
I took a vacation to Hawaii to visit a friend and his wife works at one of the big cemeteries and it’s the one where he is buried so I got to visit his grave. It was beautiful to see all of the items people would bring and place around his headstone. He was truly loved.
@@axil157 actually I do. Please explain how a joke about the size of his instrument can possibly have anything to do with my knowledge of him or his music? By your logic, are you implying that anyone who makes a joke about someone, obviously must not know said person?
🌹Ele teve o seu Tempo aqui na Terra e fez Momentos de muito Amor através das suas lindas melodias e uma voz angelical , mas Deus o chamou para Cantar e encantar seus irmãos do mundo Espiritual.🌹👏👏👏👏
So sad! He was wonderful, his lack of control, his disrespect for his limits, deprived him of that life! He was greatly loved and remains in the light! Show us that we shouldn’t commit excesses!
Man somewhere over the rainbow still makes me cry, my mum used to sing it to me as a kid and she’s been gone for about 5 years… the memories aren’t painful.. it’s just unresolved in my heart still
Only men seem to hit this level of mass-love, year after year, generation by generation, artist to hobbyist etc.. Wild when you notice how few if any women are worthy of such praise or affection 😅 Food for thought.

I wish he wasnt so sickly tou can see it but the song is still so beautiful and its amazing he could do something like that with needing oxygen, truly impressive and and White sandy beack of Hawaii is one of my very favorite song of all time
Izzy, I will never forget the first time hearing him sing, 11 years ago and i was crying the whole time, something about his voice just hits me to the point i start crying. Rest in peace angle, I hope i will have the opportunity to thank you when it’s my time
Iz, um querido que aprendi a amar. Ele já estava tão debilitado, tendo que usar aparelho de oxigênio mas sua voz emoção, que sempre que ouço cantar esta ultima canção, as lágrimas descem em meu rosto sem controle

You've heard him before... somewhere over the rainbow??
I don’t believe he walked anywhere, including a Sandy White Beach.
I feel like watching the over the rainbow video will give a nostalgic feeling even tho you've recently discovered it. Crazy guess but it might lol
A man, whose voice that could heal millions. But needed healing the most.
The only "healing" he needed is to eat less... Stop victimising him

Poor guy was in so much pain later on, but he never failed to lift us up.
Miss you brother.
Cuz he never stopped eating
But we couldn't lift him up smh
Honestly a huge shame how he went down, but another example of the dangers of extreme gluttony. Dude coulda been living in luxary, but let his impulsive addictions take control. Tragic
He shouldn't have lifted all that food into his mouth though am I right
If he took care of himself he would still be here
This guy has the voice of an angel. God bless him. That's talent. No autotune, all natural.

Imagine hearing his songs in a elevator. On your way to heaven.

His voice like an Angel
WHY
LIKE WHY

So much healing in his music, his voice, his heart.
His heart is probably what killed him
He healed everyone but himself
Heartbreaking song
@throwaway3873Yup
This is a repulsive snapshot of a dying man. A good voice and a little guitar do not distract me enough from this hideous show.
RIP IZ! You live in your music that continues to touch milions!! 🙏

I loved his version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. 🌈 Very missed.
Dang I sure wish he was still with us he had so much going for him .RIP. such a wonderfully talented guy

Think it only took one take and it wasn't really planned literally went to the studio put it on wax and left

Yeah, the person who recorded it said he came in after calling at 3am, got a steel chair to sit on & did 1 take. Boom, done.
