Eva Cassidy's Anniversary Song is immortal.

[@bryanrendleman2001]

Eva was a light years ahead of the galaxy and we are just now catching up.

[@williambrennan8197]

First time hearing this song. Not a cover. One of the few songs written for Eva to sing. Perfection.

[@susanbay7421]

Eva Cassidy has the voice of an Angel.

[@joiisler3012]

She Is an Angel.🕊❣️

[@susanreeder4401]

I was lucky enough to see her LIVE at Fleetwoods in Alexandria! I’m from DC area. I didn’t know who she was.. she completely blew me away! As a huge fan of Judy Garland’s… when she started singing Rainbow I was very protective.. but WOW!! I got goosebumps and she won me over! Got a signed cd. Voice of an angel

[@raulleyton3919]

My favourite song of all time... What an amazingly beautiful voice Eva Cassidy...and the lyrics... Thank you for your gift.

[@ettab4762]

Quite a few years ago I was sleeping with the TV on and the Eva Cassidy Story featured on ABC came on really late. Her singing woke me up from sound sleep and I watched the rest of the program. I had never heard of her before and was so saddened to learn she had passed away at an early age from cancer. I wrote down her name so I wouldn't forget it by morning. After I got a PC and learned about KZbin, I searched for her songs and found very few at that time. Later I bought her CDs which I would play in the car and at home. Some voices and songs etch themselves in a person's memory forever. Thankfully there are a lot more of her songs now on YT so people can hear her gift to us. Gone too soon.

[@cf6880]

Absolutely a gift, When I heard her sing Songbirdsi immediately fell in love with the song, I bought the album Song birds and a wonderful world, I have these CDs over and above 12 years and without a doubt I play her CDs all the time,

[@joiisler3012]

Wow. Same here. I was taking a rest after a long day, and “Nightline” came on. My heart broke, though I’d never heard of her. I’ve been mesmerized ever since. Still, I cannot say it was a Total loss; because she graciously left us the best part of her to enjoy forever. Thank you, Eva. Rip🥺🕊❣️

[@geertruidafoard7898]

I learned of her in 1996 or 97. She had recently died. I was going through a divorce that I did not want and spent hours and hours walking and listening to Eva Cassidy. Some songs made me sadder but many also gave me hope. The Anniversary song being one of them. Ifound love again eventually and have loved Eva so much.

[@gerrys7948]

I was awoken by the song Oh Had I A Golden Thread at 2am

[@junejukes2411]

My daughter chose this song as a first song of three, to accompany a video she played to us on our golden wedding anniversary absolutely perfect!----and so was our day

[@jasonskitteral4718]

Eva Cassidy you had a beautiful voice, giving so many fans extreme pleasure , just beautiful inside and out . Your burning star will never fade. Goodnight and sleep well .

[@tobiasoellers146]

Whenever I listen to here I‘m in another more beautiful world. All the bad things that surround you they vanish as soon as her voices comes to my ears. Nothing but love and respect from Germany. RIP Eva, I am sure that the angels sing along with you

[@ann8846]

I love the line...."the Lord's been like my shadow"...an allusion to the Biblical shepherd.. but alluding to the Black sheep....including a race of people who through suffering gave us an incredible line into beauty. Loving all of the kind people who have grace and who share it with others....God bless.

What a true-to-herself and to her music woman Eva was. She didn't sell out to any record label, rather she kept her own ideas, feelings, style and her soul in all of her music.

I performed this song many times , many years ago and I still send it to my friends for their Birth days. Eva is still the only one !

Forever fan of you Eva. I was born on 1980's but your music captured my heart.. Soulful and full of life and emotions. No one can sing like you in this new generation. Forever loved. Im from Phils. But your songs are my most favorites. And i knew you very well through your songs..

[@paulabarnes248]

This is the one song I listen to and miss my daughter, she died from Plasma Cell Leukemia in 2017. No one should ever have to bury their child, oh God I miss her so much.

[@Paul-qm3tt]

That's so awful. My thoughts are with you. X

[@NareyBrahms]

Paula, you have my deepest sympathies for your loss and pain.

[@elaineschneider8831]

I lost my youngest daughter when she was only 31 to Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1998. Thinking of her is always a tear away but I find comfort in the wonderful memories we shared. Our favorite song was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Go to youtube and watch Eva Cassidy's unique and heartbreaking rendition. Eva was only months away from losing her own battle with malignant Melanoma around the age of 30 when she sang this in public, recorded by someone in the audience with a camcorder around 1996. I am so sorry Paula that your daughter had to leave you so soon. I hope that music, photos, and whatever else that may comfort you will replace the pain with special memories, keeping her close to you forever.

[@pauliuskellius8309]

Eva will be singing for her in heaven.

[@STROND]

Sorry to hear that my friend. I have a very strong faith in God, but it is still so very painful when we lose a loved one. I do not think that our creator wanted it to be like this ! You can see her again, I can help direct you to her !

[@LordByron444]

Dear father in heaven, if you allow me to walk through the gates of heaven, would you allow Eva to greet me please? I need to hug her. 🙏

Do you know if she was on the VOICE after the first two lines she would have FOUR CHAIRS TURN and the season could end there because nobody could hold a candle to her. DO YOU AGREE?

[@garymorgan1356]

Here's an idea how about the producers of the VOICE play a recording of OVER THE RAINBOW on the anniversary of her passing at the beginning of the show and just watch how fast the chairs turn and a WINNER IS DECLARED!!!!

[@elaineschneider8831]

@@garymorgan1356 I had heard Eva Cassidy's Somewhere Over the Rainbow after my 31-year-old daughter died from Hodgkins Lymphoma 1998. It was hers and my favorite song. Eva's rendition was the most beautiful and heartfelt I had ever heard and the video (see youtube) of her singing it when she herself was close to losing her battle with malignant melanoma about the same young age broke my heart, what was left of it. Years later Katherine McPhee sang the song on American Idol exactly as Eva Cassidy's rendition and it bothered me that she still gets credit for Eva's style that few Americans ever got to hear. Eva was very popular in Great Britain, even though she was an American, so she did receive appreciation for her music and that amazing voice.

Each person shines with his or her own light. No two flames are alike. There are big flames and little flames, flames of every colour. Some peoples flames are so still they don't even flicker in the wind, while others have wild flames that fill the air with sparks. Some foolish flames neither burn nor shed light, but others blaze with life so fiercely that you can't look at them without blinking, and if you approach you shine in the fire.....Eduardo Galeano....

To make it even more beautiful and sadder. is her husband the piano player or is she asking the piano player to help her recall her husband who passed away too early. she dreams of him in paradise. that doesn't even count that she never grew old and loves God. Difficult to listen to the song without someone cutting onions nearby....

[@kadams9148]

Just once I wish I could forget that Eva Cassidy had such a tragic life while listening to her music. It would be hard not to be moved by her music even if she had lived. I think of all the great songs she could have left her mark on, and it frustrates me. I guess we have to just be happy that we had her for a while.

Та Господь був добрим духом І направляв, як помилялась. Не було й мрій, О друже мій, Про це. Річниця, повна вибачень, Що сльози лила й сум, що був. В моїм серці все те миле Із тих років, коли забув. Не було й мрій З старим побути другом. Жодних підстав, щоб жити мала. Та Господь був добрим духом І направляв, як помилялась. Не було й мрій, О друже мій, Про це.
