[@brucediamond4703]

Is there such a thing as ' just too beautiful'? Eva can always bring tears

[@shortmeister4321]

Time truly goes by WAY too quickly. Remember to leave a legacy of love. That's all that really matters my friends...

[@LONESOMERYDERBAND]

RIP sweet singing Angel Eva! Heaven - please give her back- your choir won't be so perfect I know, but we need her back!!! ... Rick Sibbett

[@patriciaherlevi6217]

Eva is still with us in spirit.

[@MM-vv8mt]

Every few months I reflect upon Eva and Sandy Denny and end up playing both versions for hours with my eyes full of tears. We are blessed.

[@user-qk5oj4iz4g]

After all these years... I listened to this version for the first time, aged 75, and I sobbed.

[@janettedavis6627]

I absolutely love this song. Eva was a Splendid Singer but this is my favourite of her ballads. What a Voice! R.I.P. Eva Thank you for the music.

[@1953suffolk]

Try Sandy Denny’s version with Fairport Convention. Sandy wrote the original song.

[@HAPPYTHELEAF]

Yes this is a very beautiful cover from Eva, a song written by Sandy Denny, another the gods took too soon.

[@user-oj6ui6mo8w]

😊❤

[@naomiseedberg2245]

Agreed❤❤

[@crackhanger9467]

That voice and range is just....devastatingly beautiful. Very few people can evoke such feeling with just a voice.

[@MsDreamscaper]

Heard on Firefly Lane after not listening to this beautiful song and voice for some years. RIP lovely Eva.

[@Bubbaloops1]

Same @MsDreamscaper. I happened upon Eva purely by accident and fell immediately in love with her voice and her soul. And I was just watching Ep 10 and couldn’t believe my ears. And right before that Kate Bush was on. My best friend since we were 8 died suddenly and I’ve never been the same. He loved Kate. Both of those artists and songs reminded me of him.

[@oceanpier]

Sadness has been my constant companion through life. I did not choose her, she chose me, and now fast approaching the second half of my life I just want to shake these shackles off and walk into the light.

[@peterdanish9237]

[@robertseamangaknight7734]

A month ago I was traveling across the Golden Circle in Iceland listening to this on Folk Alley. I had to turn my face to shield my tears.

It’s definitely a song that touches the heart ❤

The purity, love, yearning and compassion that Eva and Sandy give, moves me to tears. Our world lost so much, when these wonderful artists were taken from us, so, so early.

[@lori8553]

Three years from the first time I even found out about Eva Cassidy. She still inspires me. And I’m still sad the world did not get to hear her in her time here. 😢

[@jonpalombi]

Sweet musical genius, unadorned by any artifice or hype. Her pure tone, impeccable phrasing and sheer melodic sensitivity were pure gold! I so miss her... but I am equally, so grateful for her magnificent body of work.

[@owengreene382]

Eva's haunting voice had with it a premonition of, "I won't be in this world for long." We love you, Eva.

[@wendylinsey9725]

And so did the woman who wrote it, Sandy Denny when she was only 18, and she left us at 31 after much battling with alcohol and depression.

[@mrpapakc]

[@JoachimderZweite]

This always makes me remember the wild geese that used to practice formation flying above my land in Idaho in anticipation of the coming migration. Most people think that they just fly away one day. They don't. They practice for weeks and often it is very funny as they get lost or fail to fly in formation or straggle. Then one day you see them flying with intent and determination with the young ones in the lead and you know that now it is for real and they go.

[@Kayenne54]

Sounds like they don't go until every one of them can keep up.

[@matthewwelch4305]

"Now the warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout And all that stays is dying and all that lives is getting out See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow They've got the urge for going and they've got the wings so they can go They get the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in"

[@motruba]

Interesting observation about the geese. One wonders if Joni Mitchell (in the quoted excerpt above from Urge For Going) was channeling Rachel Field’s “Something told the wild geese It was time to go. Though the fields lay golden Something whispered ‘Snow.’ ...Summer was on their wings Winter in their cry.”

[@matthewwelch4305]

@@motruba Wow, that's an amazing poem!

[@jezlookin1]

JoachimderZweite- what a poetic post and it conjures up such a lovely vision. I always smile and glance up when I hear them vocalizing in their "V" formation, wondering what their final destination will be. Thank you.

[@TheCaptain64]

I didn't realise Eva had covered and sung this great song , I only really knew of Sandy Denny's 1969 version, who sadly also died very young at 31 , this is just as good as Sandys , God bless lady's and R.I.P XX

[@dewandelgek9494]

The original is by Sandy Denny and the Strawbs, written by Sandy Denny. But it was first published on record in The Fairport Convention version, which version is the best. I do love this Eva Cassidy version too though.

I'm from Maine and my roots are they're heavy and long 1590s. So I was there a lot we are Downeasters -Mid Coastal people. My mother was diagnosed with Lymphoma, she fought so hard, the Lung cancer and colon followed. I wanted to get my mother something pretty so I went into a little shop on Main Street Searsport , Maine, 2007 She battled all three until her death in 2014.. I found what I wanted and then this fantastic, jaw dropping song came on and immediately I ran to the cd section and bought all that I could find of Eva Cassidy . I went up to the counter and ask about the artist and the clerk stated that she had passed away from cancer. Right there and then, my knees didn't want to stand and my breathing scared me...I broke down. Three years later I went back to that shop and every time the owner would hug me. I've not been back since 2011. Eva's music is what angles hope to sound like.

It's unbelievable that Eva's vocal range is mezzo to soprano, yet she sounds so gentle and lovely

[@carlgold3366]

She always makes me believe in angels. When I retired a few years ago, I brought my guitar to my office on my last day, which was mostly clearing up some administrative things, so I had plenty of time. I sang this song to some friends who were upset about me leaving (and I was sorry to be leaving them). Obviously I could never do it justice, but the beauty of the song and the people who've sung it inspired me and they loved it. When I saw Richard Thompson right before the stay at home orders hit, he did it as a tribute to Sandy. Being the pro as he is, he had just the right touch, doing just enough to make it real.
