Cancer is a Mean Bitch...taking this Beautiful Songbird at 33
RIP Sweetie..
I'm not much into ol Proverbs..or Biblical Parabolic BS...BUT...
here's a Very Poignant one...'Only the Good Die Young'..
Huge Bummer..
Eva's version of Yesterday ?...
when all our Troubles seemed so Far Away...Hmmmm ?..
So much for all this Cyborg Progress..
It's more like an Angry Egress to this ol Sailor
I was today years old when i learned who Eva Cassidy was, it was also today that i fell in love with her voice. We lost an absolutely phenomenal talent back in 1996.
My grandmother sang this to all the grandkids, putting us to bed. She passed 2 years ago, and I'm ugly crying, listening to this. Thank You. ❤
My obsession with Eva Cassidy continues. She transforms Autumn Leaves into a sad love song evoking deep pensive thoughts, a melancholy mood, thinking of love lost in the autumn of life. Ironically, Eva Cassidy died at 33 shortly after this video. This song has been recorded by Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Roger Williams, Bing Crosby, and many others. It is hard to imagine that it could be improved, but Eva Cassidy totally transforms it, and captures your heart at the deepest level. Wow!
I'm glad youtube exists. Eva Cassidy
I am abroad, alone. I went to a coffee house today. I sat by a corner, on a table for four. I am reading this book, the Bridges of Madison County. There is a part that refers to this song, I've never heard before. I searched it, played it on my headphones. I left cause the store was closing. I kept listening to it on my way to nowhere, I didn't want to return home. It was raining and by the seventh time of listening to it, I started crying.
One of my favourite books. This song (cover) is awesome and fits the book/film vibe so well.
Outstanding movie with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep if you haven't seen
There is nothing, absolutely nothing to touch this beautiful voice, performance and song. This must be the saddest loss for us to lose Eva far too young.there will never be another Eva! Thank you darling girl.xx
Starting from the first words "the falling lips", Eva has hugged me so tightly that I often had to take a deep breath..
Just leaving this comment here to never forget to return to this amazing , out of this word performance.!
Eva Cassidy will be listened to and marveled over for centuries to come...
Amen
We miss you, most of all, darling Eva, when the leaves are falling and the autumn sun is blazing across distant fields of gold. Always and ever....
Always remember instrument-practicing maestros that the human voice is the greatest instrument. RIP Eva.
Eva is the first person I'm gonna look up in heaven just to thank her for this performance.
you & me both...
Count me in.
That's a good way to put it-, johannesk1855----some of her renditions are simply beyond comparable, e.g., like this one. In some of her long, sustained notes, I think of Nina Simone at her finest, but that's just part of Eva's singing, just part of her gifts---she does so many wonderful things---there's nothing like it.
Me too
She made me cry. What a magical voice
Rae Lou You are not the only one who had tears in her eyes. This is magnificent.
Rae Lou everytime..
Rae Lou sweet pain
Rae Lou Your not alone, waterworks when I listen to this magnificent rendition.
+Bart Drennon The thing that struck me the most about this video is the amazing focus she had...the presence. It is magical, it is beyond what most of us are capable of.
It’ll never stop feeling tragic that she left the world of the living so soon. ❤
I am enamored and taken by this live performance. Eva Cassidy’s guitar playing and vocal quality are impeccable. Recorded 1/3/96, I was five years old and now discovered it in 2023 at 32 years old. Thank you for sharing!
The Piano was soooo harmonized with Eva...
Singular talent...
A great jazz standard touched by an angel.
The first time I heard her on the Classical radio station, it sopped me in my track. Ever since, I have listened to all her songs. What a great talent. Gone too soon but she has left behind a legacy unparalleled. ❤❤
Grazie di essere esistita...
I am so grateful to the person that took the video of Eva Cassidy in the Blue Alley so many years ago and to whoever found that video and realized that Eva was truly a treasure to be shared with the world on You Tube - Thank you for whoever you are! It keeps my memories of my beautiful wife alive until I can join her with our God!
I cry every time I come back to listen to Eva’s performance of Autumn Leaves.
Have you heard her version of Fields of Gold ? Perfection
The world lost a singer and human being who had a once in a millennium voice.
Beautiful, excellent cover version. It's perfect. This music will always touch my soul. ♥♥
I love all your comments. I hope everybody knows the book about her. You will not stop crying. Crying is healing.
I was driving when I heard this song the first time on the radio and had to pull over. I then purchased the cd and every one that came after.. i still cry when I think of her and how young she was when she died. She could pull so much emotion from a song. Her voice was like no other. She will always be one of my very favorite performers.
She was amazing. I loved discovering Jeff Buckley too, sad they were gone too soon.
December 2023, and I am laying here recovering from surgery. This is the perfect person to listen to. So incredible and every note so all encompassing.
Be well! Wishing you a speedy recovery. ❤
I have never heared such a beautiful Performance ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
R.I.P. Eva - we miss you so much 🎵
Apa kamu bercanda ?
Relax, close your eyes & let her angelic voice...carry you into PURE BLISS ~
R.I.P. Eva...
Hello Dorthy how are you doing today??
She added depth and substance to this song.....She is definitely a songbird from Heaven.
This is truly a classic rendition of autumn leaves , a live acoustic , accompanied by piano ! The mood Eva Cassidy creates reminds me of looking out a window on a rainy day , my tears mixed with the rain drops falling on my face ! Quite moving & prolific !! Great song !
The greatest version of Autumn Leaves I have ever heard.
my heart bleeds and smiles at once listening to every song by Eva....I was lost all those years but now I've found myself never to vanish again....
+fasihbk I'd have to agree with you, same for me
I agree also, I have found my inner self and now life makes so much more sense. People around me benefit from my understanding of life, love and song.
Blown away. When a musician can get a guy like me to weep like a baby . Just Magic. R.I.P. Eva
Frank knew how to find a song.. Eva just nailed every nuisance and feeling of loss that came with loving and losing 😢.
Eva cannot ever be replicated gone well before her time but her music still speaks to us now..
no one, NO ONE is like Eva Cassidy
I miss my beautiful King Charles dog , when I hear this . She went to rainbow bridge two years ago this October .
RIP my little angel X
+Julie Price Sorry about your beloved furry friend. As a fellow dog owner, I know how much love they bring to our lives.
+Julie Price I miss my best furry friend Toby
How could you fear dying if it means you might be able to meet this magnificent creature in heaven?
+Roslyn Holloway Hi, Roslyn. I think of my late husband when I listen to this melody...He died 4 yrs. ago at age 64 of angiosarcoma.
You just spent 4 minutes and 42 seconds in heaven.
Sublime. Absolute perfection. She's singing live and playing guitar..... She's perfect. Listening to her is truly a transformative experience.
You would think a song that has been covered a hundred times couldn’t be redefined- but she does it, utterly transforms it- this version is unique and unparalleled. ❤️
I wish there was a “Love a million times” button! God she was fabulous!
Eva, wherever you are, please know that numerous autumns have come and gone since you left ....but the fragrance and the hues of the fall feel sweeter and richer when us living mortals play this song against that backdrop. Nobody has, nor possibly will, sing this song so poignantly as you did. Bless your soul.
Ahhhh soooo true👍💯🍁🍂🍁🍁🍂🍂🍁RIP Eva
A thousand studio takes could not reproduce this one magical performance.
I’m 62 but I grew up with this song. But I was raised on Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson and Pete Seeger Janis Ian all the really great singers / songwriters. Teach your children because they will learn to appreciate the tunes.
My Grandma and Grandpa's song.
The heartbreak..the pain...the loss. Brilliant. Rest In Peace Eva.
+Teresa Smith You said it all Teresa.
Hello Terri how are you doing today...
Eva is like soft rain falling on beautiful flowers. Gorgeous.
Sublime.
What a beautiful comment...Eva's voice is like a soft rain on beautiful flowers"...
Every time I hear this I am stunned.
Makes mě always cry ❣️
Eva was a gift to us from God! The emotion, the voice, the sadness in her voice is a thing of absolute beauty! Singers like this come around once in a lifetime!
This may be the most beautiful performance I’ve ever heard. Ever. 😊
It really is
Still loving you, Eva ❤
I can't stop loving you
I'm almost in disbelief that this is live! What a MASTERPIECE!! Wow, such emotion and depth. Absolutely perfect performance. This woman's voice was angelic. The world was so lucky to have her.
And I as well. I discovered this song nearly 8 years ago and only last year found this footage - only to realize it’s identical to the CD version. I can’t keep from coming back!
I'm just about speechless. There is just an overwhelming peace in Eva Cassidy's voice that can memorize and amaze you.
Today is the day she left earth.
It is a sad day🍂🍁🍃
Im a musician and this lady 'shows me what true genius is. Tears are about to roll down my cheeks. She was stolen from us.
the girl with the perfect voice ,upsets me to know that she is not with us anymore god bless you Eva for bringing joy to so many
+roger charlton Roger..when you have a mo...check out JASMINE LAMPORT....enjoy.
Autumn Leaves is a jazz standard, covered by countless musicians and singers. So often it's done in an up-tempo swing style. Eva's rendition is soul-wrenching in its expression of love and loss. It immediately made me realize that no one has ever performed this the way it needed to be performed - this is what the song is really about, and it should always be done like this.
And it should be mentioned that the piano interlude is brilliant in the shape of its line, its reworking of the melody, its building to successive high points - a perfect complement to Eva's impeccable voice and arrangement.
This is truly a perfect performance. You could not change a note of it.
Sometimes stripping stuff down and keeping the musical essentials makes the emotional impact a little more direct too especially whne you're dealing with purer emotions like loss.
agree…
something about her drew me in and once i heard this…
reckon i knew why…
Gracias por enseñarme apenas entiendo el ingles un poquito pero aun asi la voz y esa perfeccion melomana me tramsporta a una meditacion gracias amigo bemdiciones
Eva's versions are the first example I ever think of on how to cover a song and make it your own. Eva's cover was a different song than the original, a unique one
Have loved Eva for many years and Autumn Leaves always brings tears to my eyes. My mother’s favorite song and with it, the memories. May Evas memory always be for a blessing.
La piu bella interpretazione di questa canzone di tutti i tempi......assolutamente....ti ameremo sempre dolce Eva
Eva Cassidy is affecting me; Her vocals, her style, her original edge, and approach to just bang out a beautiful rendition of a song. I was so saddened to read that she is gone. This also affected me. So happy her album lives on and will be released soon. I look forward to it's release. My condolences to her family and so happy they continue to support her music. The world needs to remember her amazing talent. I am officially struck by Ms. Eva Cassidy...the way she delivers Autumn Leaves is just haunting and amazing.
It's been 1 year since my wife passed. Autumn was her favorite time for us to take walk through the forest just holding hands. Eva's beautiful and emotional interpretation of the lyrics brings comforting memories. May your both rest in peace.
I can guess this means something very special to you, then.
God bless her soul. May she rest in peace. May perpetual light shine upon her. May her good and gentle soul through the Mercy of God rest in peace in Jesus' Holy Name, Amen. God bless and give you peace and solace. Amen.
❤
My Carol Ann went home in 2011. This song and Eva's enchanting voice bring tears of longing for my darling Carol.
BEAUTIFUL PRAYER
I just discovered Eva as I was looking for the song Autumn leaves, what a beautiful, angelic voice, and talented singer and musician. I was devastated when I read she past away, I am so very sad and could cry my eyes out!! I listen to her songs daily and share them with friends and at work. Eva, may you rest in Peace.
I have over 10,000 vinyl albums and this is the most perfect performance and perfect song....and it's live.
My funeral will have Autumn Leaves & Fields of gold both from this album.
I cry every time I play them.
Eva you were an angel before you were an angel.
R.I.P. Songbird x
Mine will have Over the Rainbow ❤
September 30 2022.. looking out my window watching the leaves fall. Eva will always be missed, but we still have her voice
One of the most beautiful songs, ever.
Her voice is just perfect.
Je l'écoutes sans arrêt. Cette chanson est merveilleuse et à la fois triste. C'est un cri du coeur ! A la fois magnifique et si triste !
Heard this song a hundred times but just heard it
I love Eva's style. So beautiful and different.
Me to she was so humble so relaxing
Eva Cassidy's version of Autumn Leaves is the BEST I have ever heard. She had this uncanny way of bringing you into her with her voice. I will never forget the first time I heard her sing this song. It literally brought tears to my eyes.
2023 hauntingly beautiful
What beautiful playing and that voice is so very special
May of 2024 and Eva still brings tears. Absolutely stunning.
Always.
i am in tears because i was only introduced to her last summer
I just heard this for the very first time and I'm in tears. Beautiful.
True 😢
@@dawnmclawrence2937 I'm sorry for your loss, God bless you in your great sorrow.
When sadness is beautiful.
Just listened to Eva’s beautiful voice few days ago and realised she was away so long ago… i keep listening the songs for days
I hope the recording of this concert survives into the far distant future. This is the best of humanity.
I am not a professional musician.
Just a human.
But I am transcended by what I just heard.
Merci for your gift, Eva.
Check out her version of "Over the Rainbow" for yourself. Best ever !
RUclips thought I might like this song. All I can say is it's so beautiful it made me cry
Hello Autumn how are you doing today??
Now I know why I was told to listen to her sing. Wow.
I get teary eyed every time I hear this song. She was and still is a national treasure. So soulful, powerful and amazing.
Never fails to make me tear up - and I am an 83-year-old male who has never before had any singer do that.
What a loss
Dearest Mr Power, please have a listen to the work she did with Chuck Brown if it hasn't found you yet! ❤
her voice gives me goosebumps and I cannot listen too often much as I love it because it makes me so emotional
Blues alien angel
@@crivsmum4820 I feel like you ..
What a gain.
Wow. The world lost one amazing artist when we lost Eva. One of my favorite songs of hers. Bravo! And thanks for posting.
Hello Deb how are you doing today??
This is as close as you can witness to perfection in a musical performance. Everything in every note and every pause is calibrated and yet played totally in the realm of feeling.
Bliss 🍁🍂 I hope you're resting soundly, Eva. Oh how we love you x
It’s so easy to forget, in the age of over the top vocal gymnasts and look-at-what-I-can-do vocalists, with their excessive and saccharine melodramatic deliveries, that none of that makes for a great vocalist. This performance is a reminder of what really matters; pure interpretation of melody and meaning and being in the moment of that song. So much better, deeper, more honest, and indeed more beautiful than the endless TV singing contest juggling acts that people have fallen for in its place!
Always loved her music....I am 79 yrs old & her voice is so genuine & beautiful.... taken so young RIP 😢
❤ totally agree 🥲
I TURN 79 IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR, 2024.😊
EVA WAS AMAZING.👏👍

My love’s gone, I hear this and start to cry…though I’m 65 years SO OLD.😢
62. I feel your pain.
There are times I just can't listen to her. The perfection of everything is so stunning and I know she is not doing it anymore. The total lack of pretension and the ability to make the words mean so much. Effortess loving of the emotion and the interpretation. Truly one of a wonderful kind.
I totally agree
Yes.
yes.
the utter sadness that pervades because such mesmeric beauty no longer graces our existence.
the most beautiful thing i've ever heard in my life....
I am broken on the rack of her beautiful voice - I'm at my desk in floods of tears, and I don't care who sees me.
At 71 years of age, I begin to understand her.
It hurts to know that she is gone. We will never forget her.
Eva Cassidy is singing perfectly in the heavenly realms.. to the Glory of 👑God! 🙏🏼Thank You Eva for singing for us all! Best of the very best!
I am a musician. How I had never heard of Eva Cassidy, I don't know. What I can tell you though is that the first time I heard this song, I was mesmerized. I listened to it no less than 20 times in a row. It's perfect. Truly perfect. What's even more amazing is that it almost didn't get out because it was done live and the first night the recording never was recorded by mistake and the second night, Eva was sick and she was not happy with how it sounded... not happy with how it sounded? It's perfect. It haunts me. No one could ever do this song better. No one. What a tragedy to lose her so young.
I'm a musician also and did not hear of Eva until after she was gone, or I would have made an attempt to go hear her in person! Now, I have listened to everything that I can find that she sang; what a talent she was. She preferred to work small clubs though, not tour the world. A bit shy, a sensitive artist and lovely lady, it's so sad that we lost her too soon. RIP, Eva.
Thank you for sharing that Grant. I know what you mean. I had never heard of her either. Another thing people don't know either is she was a wonderful artist too. They made a website for her. Such a tragedy to lose this angel so young. Another one is Fields of Gold and Over the Rainbow. Everything she did..is a gem.
⚘
Just discovered this and Eva also. I had to listen 3 times in a row. This song has been done an infinite amount of times but THIS one! Wow! I'm speechless. Just wow!

This is beyond music. It’s something else. An experience. A direct link to the soul.
Miss you , EVA 😢😢😢🌹💜
In 2002, I was in college and "Smallville" was one of my favorite shows. One night, I was watching Smallville and there was a funeral scene at the end of the episode. The most mesmerizing voice I'd ever heard started singing Cyndi Lauper's "Time after Time." I did some research and found out it was some lady named "Eva Cassidy." A few days later, I was in Walmart and happened to be looking through the CD section when I came across a very nondescript looking CD in a rather plain, brown case that was titled "Songbird" by Eva Cassidy. On a whim, I bought it and started playing it in the car on the way home. When this song came on, "Autumn Leaves" - I literally had to pull over and focus on the song, I was so mesmerized. It moved me to tears. I later bought every CD I could get my hands on, and I have loved Eva since then. Her music has blessed me since 2002, and I'm so overjoyed to still be listening to her in 2022.
Stephen, I just listened to "Autumn Leaves" a week or so ago right after posting one of my poems, "Fallen Leaves". I was moved to tears as well. I really didn't know why until I read she had died in 1996 at the age of 33. Sometimes we feel grief and sudden sadness for no reason and never find out why. This time I know why!
It is just stunning. I was driving myself to the airport maybe 20 years ago, and this came on the radio, and I nearly drove off the road - there are few things that can make me really emotional, but this does it every time, and I bet I've listened to this song 50 times.
Words fail me , except my tears flow through her voice , such a talent and gone to young
I've been a professional jazz musician for decades and Eva is probably one of the most outstanding singers I've ever heard....Eva is right up there with the all time greats....Eva ...rest in peace....and may god bless you.
This is simply one of the best performances in the history of recorded music. Her incredible voice, the guitar, the piano, the pacing and incredible emotions put into it. Tears me up every time I watch this.
Totally
It was just another day in the office for them I think. They didn’t know what was around the corner.
You are absolutely right. One of the most wonderful things that anyone, anywhere will ever hear ❤️🙏☯️
I'm with you there my friend.
I couldn't agree more.
I am weeping, hearing this song for the first time ever, found it by accident... My brother died almost 15 years ago in early october when the leaves were starting to fall. Ever since then autumn is the hardest time of the year for me.
My heart goes out to everyone who has lost somebody close to them.
Anita... my father died in October and a friend of mine sang this at his funeral. I can't get through the fall without listening to this many times. And a few times throughout the rest of the year. It so perfect captures our mourning, but also the natural cycle of life and death. I'm with you.
for the times our heart was full, and surely it is fulfilled over and over again...
❤️
As someone very close to my brother, I feel your pain. Some siblings don't love one another and that's even sadder than losing them.
attachment is the root cause of all sadness.
I was in high school 2004 when I first listened to her , and immediately bought her Songbird album , and was in utter shock to learn that she passed away back in 1996. Such an incredible talent RIP
For some reason I always end up with tears in my eyes when I listen to Eva sing.
Hello Pete how are you doing today??
Me too.
