I went to elementary school with her. She was a painter too! She was so nice to me when others weren't. Beautiful soul. She played her guitar and sang in our music class.

[@JillsMusic3]

Oh that is sooo cool. What a nice gift.

Also keep in mind this is a live performance. No studio tricks here. And her guitar playing is just as elegant as her voice. Best rendition of this song hand down.

[@kenmcwise1776]

And her former band members said of her guitar, “That damn guitar, it was impossible to keep it in tune”

[@Ace_Hunter_lives]

And she had a terrible head cold at this show.

PRAYERS for your brother who is battling cancer ✝

[@Wendy-ov5hu]

cancer sucks

[@deydrm]

I'm an audiophile. And was a guitar player as well. I love vocals. The first time I ever cried while listening to a song it was Eva Cassidy singing. But not this song. It was Autumn leaves. Now maybe only a guitar player would realize this fact about Eva Cassidy. Her guitar playing ability,while she sang like this! That's amazing. She was in a category like nobody else I've ever heard. Check out Autumn Leaves. Take note,all these recordings were live! Unbelievable!

[@susansmith493]

My favorite song of all time. Her version is sublime.

[@pmbrig]

Autumn Leaves is one of my favorites too. She could put so much feeling into a song.

[@sundayze]

You can tell the respect she was given for this performance, because you could have heard a pin drop in that place, as there were no background noises or voices.

[@shawnpilgrim2355]

Eva can do no wrong. “Fields of Gold”, “Songbird”, “Danny Boy”. Her voice just melts you.

[@beedeegee9374]

I love Sting’s version of “Fields of Gold”, but Eva reaches in and grabs my heart when she performs it.

[@russellbrown1068]

I love her Cover of “Time After Time” as well.

[@dougoverhoff7568]

Her version of "Songbird" is also fabulous. What a talent, and another genius performer gone too soon.

[@andygranick]

Her version of "Fever" is also very good.

[@g3synth205]

Have you not heard "Autumn Leaves" from the same evening as this video of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"? It's a somewhat similar vibe to SOtR, but more haunting I think. Here's the link, if I'm able to share it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/romlf593pdybZsU

She doesn't over sing like so many singers. She just sings perfectly.

[@jeraldkimball494]

Just lost my brother to cancer a few months ago and it is still unreal to me. It's crazy that she had a cold when she did this song and yet she was still so amazing.

[@ronraskind]

I have followed Eva Cassidy for 10 years and continue to play her music. What gets me about this version is that she didn't know yet that she was dying and yet the tone and the mood she sets seems to indicate that she did know. One word to describe the performance.... Haunting!

[@beedeegee9374]

I first heard Eva Cassidy’s gorgeous voice in 2002 when Michelle Kwan skated to “Fields of Gold” in the exhibitions, after coming in third to Sarah Hughes. It was especially emotional because Michelle was “supposed” to win and she shed tears as she performed. I’ve been a huge fan of Eva’s music since then.

[@ronraskind]

​​@@beedeegee9374I remember that skating competition. I'm dating myself lol. I was introduced to Eva when visiting a cousin in New York probably 10 to 20 years ago. The most beautiful voice I ever heard. I have listened to her since when I get the chance. Interestingly, one of my other favorite female vocalists is Angelina Jordan. Angelina is seventeen now and I have been following her for 5 years. Within the past year or two there was a fan made virtual Duo mashup published of Eva and Angelina singing Fields of Gold together! They each have their own voices but it's beautiful.

[@beedeegee9374]

Thanks, I’ll have to check that out!@@ronraskind

[@ronraskind]

​@@beedeegee9374I will be curious as to your reaction. By the way I made an error in my comment above. Angelina is now 17 and not 7 lol.

[@beedeegee9374]

@@ronraskind I thought you probably meant 17. I’ve watched her from time to time over the years. I watched the mashup and it was really good!

[@garygoodrich7495]

Her vocal range was incredible. She's hitting all the low, mid, and high notes perfectly. And to see someone fingerpick and sing like that is extremely difficult except for the most gifted. Sad that she's no longer with us. What a talent!!!!!

[@roybarbara4756]

Congrats! you finally listened to Eva. Unless you want to turn into a puddle, don't listen to "Autumn Leaves" or "Fields of Gold" or "Time after Time" or God forbid "I Knoy You by Heart"! She was in my opinion the greatest cover artist of all time.

Eva is flying somewhere over the rainbow with happy, little bluebirds. Beautiful voice, soothing like Karen Carpenter's.

[@rew1977]

In the ‘90’s, she went to meet executives from a big label recording company who were wanting to sign her, but they wanted to control her style and choice of music in order to promote her for their label. She couldn’t, wouldn’t do it, and walked away. I regularly listen to EC. Thankful for her family who have kept her music before us all these years.

Yes sadly hate is most definitely on a roll, but love and goodness will prevail I promise. Life is messy right now but, it can change quickly with the help of like minded individuals.

[@MattJocks]

Judy Garland's version was from a young girl's heart. This is from a woman's heart that has taken some punches. I read a quote from either a relative or friend of hers saying that as tragic as her loss was, in a way, it was perfect that she became an international star after her death. Because she would not have enjoyed the trappings of stardom -- the attention, demands, interviews etc. This way, it was about the music and sharing her gift with the world. Btw, she was also a very talented artist. I think you can still buy some of her drawings and paintings.

[@lindawalker6105]

Absolutely spot-on analysis. I have been trying for years to explain the difference, and you did it for me. Thanks

[@paulwhite5840]

She is angelic. I'm tearing up and I've heard her several times! Thanks, Sebs. To answer your question Christ is perfect love. The scripture says, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus."

When I got married, I walked down the aisle to this. Heard her live at Blues Alley in DC. I pray for her. Such a powerfully lovely song.

[@paulwhite5840]

Sebs, never apologize or feel intimidated for showing real emotion in this cold, unfeeling world.

[@ChrisEchoes]

What sets Eva’s version apart is the way her vocal phrasing is so vastly different with unexpected pauses and twists. And it is not to impress but to keep us on our toes and have us really listen to her voice and the lyrics.

I was one of those listeners that heard it on Sir Terry Wogan's BBC2 radio show all those years ago. It became the most requested song in British Radio that year . I've bought everything of Eva's that has been released. One of the things that just mesmerizes me about her is that every note no matter if it's softly sung or a high note is crystal clear.

[@dagmar.6954]

That was such a beautiful rendition of this song. So sad that she is no longer with us. She died at only 33 years of age. I also love the version by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. Sadly he also died young at 38 years of age. At least we have their music left as a legacy.

[@benyola11]

I’ve never even heard of her and I was so excited to discover this video and your comment popped up….ugh. Now I’m just sad.

[@fibromyalgia_yarn_resin]

I also love Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s version. I’ve heard he did it in 1 take. He also did die at a young age. I guess I’m biased in saying I do like his version better. (Just my opinion) Because I’m from HI as he is and he’s Native Hawaiian. I’m also from HI, and every time I hear that song I cry, because I now live in OK and not in HI. All of my family is in HI, and the song makes me miss them immensely plus it reminds me of my grandpa. The song is to me like a warm hug like he used to give me all the time. This version is also immensely beautiful and so unique. I love how each artist can make 1 song their own by just playing an instrument differently or changing the tempo.

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

dagmar Lucy Thomas of the UK did a tribute to Eva by singing her version od OVER THE RAINBOW, most beautiful version ever by the BEST female singer out there...ever !!! Check her out !!!

[@macgrad1]

I also prefer Israel’s version. I bought his songs and my husband and I love his singing. He brings tears to one’s eyes just because of the sheer beauty and passion coming through his renditions. He was so amazing. We’ve seen his videos on KZbin and feel blest that we could experience his performances without going to a live concert.

[@clarewitcomb6918]

I heard her rendition of “I Know You By Heart” shortly after my husband passed away. It brings me to tears every time I listen to it. I think “haunting” describes her singing well. We are so lucky that she recorded her cds before she died. ❤️😞

[@sherrberr5239]

So sorry for your loss. "I know you by Heart" is one of the most touching and beautiful songs I've ever heard and I cry every time I hear it. Her singing was beyond compare...she was a true one of a kind treasure gone way too soon.

[@peggymiller2475]

For me, Eva's version has an incredible sense of longing in it. That longing to find the happiness you're looking for, and hoping you'll find it someday.

[@wandertree]

I hope she found it.

[@janflewelling6277]

She takes her time, doesn't push it, just allows it to rise up straight from her heart. Incredibly moving.

[@sallymorehouse3179]

I absolutely love her version of this song. For me, the reason why this hits different than other version is the style she sang it in and hearing her singing about dreams coming true and knowing she died before a lot of her dreams were fulfilled.

[@JJ-kl5yj]

When you hear Eva's ballads, you wouldn't know that she was a jazz/blues artist. "I Know You by Heart" is the song that brings me to tears every time I hear it, especially knowing that she passed away so young. Her albums came out posthumously, and most were recorded during live performances.

[@juneuhlig2685]

My favorite artist of all time after listening to Field of Gold on the way to a funeral. She never gave in to those who wanted her to do it their way, but she did it her way. She was just getting big when she died.

[@johntracy9398]

I was wondering when you'd discover Eva. All her songs are great. You won't miss reacting to any of them. Some of my favorites are: Time After Time, Stormy Monday, Nightbird and Imagine. There are no duds in Eva's catalog.

[@TB86000]

I will never forget my absolute shock at hearing Eva Cassidy sing live at a small club in DC. The band I was seeing, whose name I can't remember, invited her to join them for a few songs. She graciously accepted. Time stood still. My jaw hit the floor. DC has had more than it's share of undercelebrated amazing musicians who died way too young.

There was an intimacy and honesty to this version that made it her own.

[@mauricelecorre]

An unusual and amazing aspect of this performance is that I never tire of it. I get tears in my eyes every time. This after a hundred listens. It continually surprises me with its' elegant nuance and her masterful use of dynamic range. When she hits the note on the second "Some-where" it is like electroshock therapy. After all the subtlety leading up to it, then there is suddenly that POWER! We feel It is her heart and soul that is crying out, and then she quickly returns back to her lower powered voice, which is just as beautiful. An astounding performance. It also astounds me how many musical people have not heard of Eva Cassidy. I only envy them, as their hearing her for the first time is still to come.

[@jamiemcnay]

Man don't worry about crying, I can't remember how many times I've watched this and I still cry, the song was written by Harold Arlen, it was sung by Judy Garland, but it was owned by Eva Cassidy, totally raw talent, no studio gimmick's, just her and her guitar, amazing, RIP

[@christiantamminen8998]

Hey man, you don't have to worry. It takes a real man to be moved by this song. People forget that men can be emotional too. It means that you are sensertive and compassionate. And men can be strong too. That is our strength and our weakness. Even men cry sometimes. Good on you. Beutiful song.

[@seenonyoutube7856]

Sebs Duran's reaction is "normal" for the first time anyone hears Eva Cassidy perform this song. It literally hits you. I "discovered" Eva only a couple of years ago while listening to Tommy Emmanuel's acoustic performance of OTR, and there was Eva on the sidebar. I clicked to check her out, and the level of perfection in her singing and playing in the simplest of settings in a nightclub makes this performance as pure as you will ever find.

Perception is reality, and when we experience something outside of our reality, like watching a beautiful, talented, long gone girl singing something that obviously means a lot to her, our Perception is shifted, and our reality follows. You asked why, I hope this helps. And never apologize or feel like you look like an idiot for feeling so deep that it brings tears to your eyes.

Fields of Gold playing at a B&N bookstore had me stopped in my tracks. Took me an hour to find someone in the store to tell me who it was. Bought the CD and never looked back.

I lost my ex-husband 2 years ago next month It doesn't feel like he's gone and it's hard To learn to cope when you're grieving , the loss of a loved one that has died of cancer because it's something that we can't stop. I think that is one of the biggest reasons why you reacted the way you did because I felt the same way. I have also had cancerand my daughters. A terrified type of fear makes you want to live each day to its fullest and be grateful for every moment. You have with the people all around you. And you can tell in this woman's voice as she sings. That she was not afraid , but she was brave .God bless her soul 🙏

@@shannonbaillie3244 Thanks for sharing and I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you and your daughters good health. I highly recommend listening to Angelina Jordan's "Million Miles" which she wrote at age 13 after her grandfather passed. She is 18 now and I am going to see her in concert in Las Vegas on Feb. 29.

I have been a fan for many years. She can do anything! She takes a song and makes it her own. You need to hear her sing the blues! Listen to Stormy Monday. Recorded at the same evening as Over the Rainbow.

She has the voice of an Angel. Everything she sings lifts your heart

There is nothing in this world like hearing this song for the first time. Emotions well up and you marvel at the voice, the control, the difference to the original. Then you will find yourself playing it again and again and again. It IS THAT GOOD. God Bless you Eva ❤
