    My wife and I tried having children for 10 years and when she finally got pregnant we were the happiest we had ever been. My baby boy was born too early and unfortunately didn't make it. I got to hold him while his heart beat got slower and slower until it stopped. This song reminds me of him and everytime I would hear it I would cry nonstop. This composition is so beautiful it makes me smile thinking about him. Amazingly incredible how this composition turns a song that makes me cry into a song that makes me smile. Thank you

      Oh my. Thank you for trusting the world with your pain. I was so sorrowful reading your tribute to your child, but I thought what a remarkable man to be able to turn such pain into a moment of beauty - the beating heart. Consider yourself an angel in disguise - a witness to fleeting but sublimely beauty and glory.

      The goal in life is not to look for happiness, else you eill never be. You must enjoy this moment now else how do you know that when you are actually happy you won't be looking for a future happiness moment instead of enjoying the present. Hope that makes sense.

      @@joanjett8814 Of course you should have a goal but many people live miserable lives because they are willing to suffer for their goal. At the end, when they reach their goal they do not know how to enjoy themselves and just pursue another goal. Just like businessmen who only know how to make more money and not how to use it.

      It was my sister's song too. She passed in 1981 at the age of 15. I was 6. This rips my heart out

    To hear this start with the rarely heard verse is the perfect beginning, especially as Kathryn incorporates it into the coda. Spectacular performance of one of the greatest tunes of the last century.

    Gosh, this brings tears to my eyes. For those who might be unaware, this particular song is as much a part of American culture and heritage as just about any other. Our sweet and beloved Dorothy--the fabulous Judy Garland--sang it to us all in the 1939 movie "Wizard of Oz," arguably one of the greatest and most revered movies in the history of American film making. The heartwarming story about a girl and her dog's return home, and love for home, is most beloved. Much of the movie being filmed at that time in color adds to its popularity. This score and the rest of the film's music is marvelous, much of which will be played for generations to come. Yo-Yo Ma and Ms Stott are right to include it in this repertoire--the collaboration here is truly a song of "comfort and hope." Many thanks to them for playing it and sharing with the world.

      Credit is profoundly due to composers Harold Arlen and EY Harburg, who won Oscars both for the song and the score. "Over the Rainbow" ranks number one on the American Film Institute's list of best movie songs.

    My 2 yo son loves to watch this video. He leaned 1) what is deep joy of music when he saw Mr. Ma makes divers facial expressions during his performance, 2) beautiful communication between two musicians when they look at each other and give signs, 3) peace and joy from listening to music, and 4) what does "focus on something" mean. I don't like to show him cell phone or video... but Yo-yo Ma & Kathryn Stott's videos are just amazing for both of us.

    When all the world is a hopeless jumble
    And the raindrops tumble all around
    Heaven opens a magic lane
    When all the clouds darken up the skyway
    There's a rainbow highway to be found
    Leading from your windowpane
    To a place behind the sun
    Just a step beyond the rain
    Somewhere, over the rainbow
    Way up high
    There's a land that I heard of
    Once in a lullaby
    Somewhere, over the rainbow
    Skies are blue
    And the dreams that you dare to dream
    Really do come true
    Some day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are
    Far behind me
    Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops
    That's where you'll find me
    Somewhere, over the rainbow
    Blue birds fly
    Birds fly over the rainbow
    Why then, oh, why can't I?
    If happy little bluebirds fly
    Beyond the rainbow
    Why, oh, why can't I?

    My mom died 6 days ago. The night before she passed, I played this song in my ears while my mom was groaning in pain, losing her consciousness. Her condition is very critical and honestly, nothing could help. I was crying quietly, knowing really well that it's time. My mom wouldn't be her with me anymore. In the morning, she passed. I saw it. My aunt and the nurse trying to pump my mom's heart, putting a oximeter on her finger with no positive result. I was screaming in pain. Calling my dead mom. She's my hero and losing my mom at 14 is very heartbreaking. I cry every night. If I could make a wish, I wished my mom is alive, without all her sickness. I just want her to hug me and kiss me like what it used to be.

    The buildup starting @2:00 is exquisite. Resolution @2:22 to B major, the high octave leap B to B in the cello, accompanied by the descending B major scale in triads on the piano to D# minor, and the COUNTERMELODY @2:29 G#-Gnat-F#-E-D#, A#-B-C#-C#-B-A#-Anat-G#. SUBLIME arrangement! And beautifully played!!!
