IZ is an inspiration and was loved by all. I was at Makua when they spread his ashes from the Hokule'a. Cars stopped along the 2 lane road leading to Ka'ena bringing traffic to a stand-still. Hundreds of people were wading in the water and hundreds more were on land. A procession of big rigs blew and held their horns echoing through the valley while his ashes were placed into the ocean making it sound as if the State of Hawaii was crying . . . it's a moment I will never forget. An incredible celebration of life for an incredible man!!

[@U2walkn]

Crying is always part of listening to IZ singing this song, for me,

[@bethking7348]

The most beautiful funeral/ memorial evever

[@ernesttrader7364]

You're not the only one who tears up and be wiping their eyes

[@IslandGirlzHaveFlow05XBS]

🥰🥰

[@scapelaine4529]

He is a beautiful man with a beautiful soul and a beautiful voice this song gives me chills! 💜

[@jerkwater407]

There is a reason this song has a Billion Views.. Most cry to brotha IZ like I do. Insanely good song but gone too young, love you IZ.

[@Kopeboy22]

So I’ve heard he called the studio at like 3 in the morning and says he wants to record something. One take is all it took to record this song. In and out in 15 mins

[@AlbinoBlackMonkey]

One take is all he was allowed. He had to nail it, and hot damn did he ever nail it

[@jimmycampos3435]

I'm so glad I found him even though after his death. R.I.P. MY BROTHER SLEEP WELL IN HEAVEN. LOVE U SIR. WISH I HAD KNOWN U OR SEEN U LIVE. LOVE U GENTLE SOUL😊

[@Mikey-1990]

Yup that's basically what happened. They did an interview about it with the person who ran the recording studio. He came in, sat down and did it right there in one take. You can watch that part in his documentary here on KZbin.

[@goopysnoopy9324]

Whenever I listen to this I feel like I'm fine but by the time it ends, I find that tears are streaming down my face

[@sendmedoge8939]

That's natural. It's a song about looking forward to the peace that comes with death. This was the first singer I've ever seen actually get the vibe right.

[@tomjones2121]

Island Girl....Your heart has been transformed by IZ , nothing will ever be the same again , because it grew , just a little more

[@IslandGirlzHaveFlow05XBS]

🥰🥰

[@tomjones2121]

You can always tell when someone sees this for the first time ,

[@debrap947]

I cry every time I hear his version...not sure if it's because he is gone too soon...but once again...here I am crying my eyes out. Rest Israel...and thank you.

[@ladysparkymartin]

Beautiful voice and I hope his legacy lives forever. Makes me cry too 🥲 🌺

[@paigeherrin29]

This songs always reminds me of my mother. A hui hou, momma.

[@wreybies]

The Hawaiian people gave him a king's sendoff. 10,000 people attended. That's how much he meant to the Hawaiian people.

[@wunkrazyazian]

As well as the people of Hawaii. Not just Hawaiians

[@debbysmith5346]

I am a 4th generation Native Hawaiian, he was and ALWAYS be our National Treasure. thank you for your love 💓💓

[@A5p3r07h]

Every time this song graces any person's ears for the very first time, it's a celebration of this BIG BOY's life. Thank you for reacting. Thank you to Israel for the cover. Thank you to Yip Harburg (I think) for the original lyrics. IZ LIVES

[@cancionesromanticasparaela1307]

Es la canción, más pura, dulce, mágica, maravillosa de la historia de la humanidad 🥲🥲😭😭😭😭

[@deanakeefer1798]

I love his version of this song. It sounds so heavenly. It's so sad that he died. Just think of all of his music we are missing.

[@worldeater161]

A true reaction. Very beautiful song. Makes the best of us have tears.

[@mariatimmins8846]

I love this version of over the rainbow... this guy had a beautiful voice, sends my thoughts in a far away place thats calm and peaceful... rip big man, heaven is lucky to have you... xxx💖💖💖💖

[@gokublack4211]

IZ will always live on in our hearts.. such a wholesome guy. All he wanted from us was happiness

[@jimmycampos3435]

So true ma'am.. God rest his soul

[@ChicagoMike85]

Beautiful reaction. Thank you

[@rokker101]

An immaculate and heart wrenching tribute to this song is by the late great Eva Cassidy ... her version will have you blubbering into your handkerchief the moment she starts to sing ... she had the voice of an angel.

[@delord1619]

Island Girl, listen to Phil^^^, and give Eva a listen.

[@theeggbreadguy3799]

IMO this is better

[@acidqueen6460]

Love this song....and absolutely LOVE his version!! Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song. 💚

[@IslandGirlzHaveFlow05XBS]

🥰🥰

[@bluemoose2497]

IZ's transitions are so fricking smooth, always brings joy to me.

[@rjshipp]

I liked the original version of the song sung by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz in 1939, but this one has continuously blown me away. When I see the video I feel momentary sadness, but hen I imagine that he is now over the rainbow himself and singing with the angels.

[@karrieweldon3682]

I love your energy, laughter, and and true reaction so happy I ran across your channel 🌈

[@bobbender5858]

Iz left the world with a beautiful legacy. Play more Iz !!!!!

[@IslandGirlzHaveFlow05XBS]

He sure did🥰🥰

[@Nohacksjustbhop_]

👋🏽🇫🇲 hi from kosrae Micronesian

[@luckyharianto6816]

[@mikehunt368]

[@prudyskitchen6630]

I love this song so bad.

[@user-cl3lq2jn9h]

Я плачу до сих пор

[@cancionesromanticasparaela1307]

Esta canción comienza muy agradable y luego en el uuuuuu te hace dar escalofríos y te hace erizar la piel... Que canción tan mágica

[@annacrowley7426]

It is sooo lovely. So sorry to hear he passed. May he rest in peace-Amen.

[@GodspeedHawaii]

Thank you for being the only one that got it . You rock

[@novemberwallace7059]

Check out his Songs in this life and white sandy beach when he sung he sung from the heart and soul

[@Ms.tique27]

Idk if you still reacting but if you really liked this I strongly recommend “Hawaii 78” by him. It talks about the injustices we Hawaiian have been burdened by the modern colonization of our home, and I hope you enjoy it. It brings me to tears anytime I hear the first note!

[@theresamyers5327]

Wow beautiful love it

[@scott3605]

Wow what a voice

[@distractedwriter100]

I cry every time still. 👍🏼💕

[@chloexoxo]

Awesome video

[@secludedmisanthrope6388]

When I was stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in 2002, this song would be played everywhere and God forbid you say something negative about Bruddah IZ around the locals because you could get your ass kicked by a group of pissed off Samoans. He was like a national treasure over there. He died the same year I graduated from high school.

[@gingergaia]

I think I love this version even more than Judy Garlands in the original Wizard of Oz movie. Totally different vibe so not in competition with one the all time greatest vocalist. While I am here would you please react to Tom MacDonald's new video " Heart Emoji " dropped Friday. Be sure to # his name and # H.O.G or # Hang Over Gang" His huge, loyal, all Come fan base. Thanks from one of the Hangover Gang ".

[@finkster1969]

Not sure if you knew but this song has over one Billion Views!!!!!

[@hurricaneblaine7751]

There’s about 7 dvds out there of his music. Music that he wanted to do as a solo artist before he passed. His brother and 3 other cousins made up their band The Makaha Sons of Ni’ihau.

[@ktp.]

Thanks for letting us know. It's a pity this guy isn't alive as I read that sales for his music have gone up in recent times.

[@espenvippen]

Rip. ❤️

[@GodspeedHawaii]

He’s our treasure

[@novemberwallace7059]

He had a hard life growing up and singing was how he coped

[@theresamyers5327]

Big up you self island girlz

[@stevedoughty3452]
