Tearjerker, I just purchased one of her paintings, she was a gentle soul and a avid painter, mainly nature and flower scenes. She also worked at a plant nursery when not performing and passed away years before she was “discovered” so she never experienced her fame. When Sting heard her recording of his track Fields of Gold he carried around a copy and played it for everyone saying “ this is how it should be sang”, respect
I would have loved to have had the chance to buy a painting. She was so gifted and seemed a kind soul.
Her Fields of Gold made me sob hard the first times I heard it and can’t remember not crying anytime a I’ve heard it. It’s just exquisite
I knew her aunt and grandmother. I visited with them over the years. I never met Eva or her parents, but were friends with friends of theirs. I never knew she was a painter too. Her grandmother Cass used to tie rugs out of rags and was quite artistic herself. She was also an author and wrote a periodical magazine. How nice to learn more about Eva being a painter. How fortunate you are to have her art!
@@kd8199 The painting is for her aunt, it’s titled Flowers for Dorothee. Her Aunt Dorothee if you knew her👍
@@georgelynch6139 - interesting. I knew her Aunt Isabel Blithe. Her grandmother’s name was Cass Cassidy. Both lived in Harper’s Ferry, WV. Both are now deceased. Her father’s name was Hugh. I can’t remember if her mother’s name was Barbara or Laura. They lived over in Maryland.
Eva Cassidy's covers of "Over The Rainbow" and "Autumn Leaves" are the most beautiful renditions ever recorded.

Her Fields of Gold rendition is amazing.
Oh yes!
I have watched 30 of these reaction....the way you explain this is the BEST....LOVE YOUR REACTION.....PLEASE MORE EVA
In my opinion Eva was the greatest cover artist that ever lived. I have never heard anyone deliver the interpretation and nuances like she does. I must have watched fifty reactions to this song, and I must say you did a beautiful job describing this gorgeous piece of music. This woman was indeed "magic". Next try her incomparable version of "Autumn Leaves., or her stunning "I Know You by Heart".
She wasn’t just a cover artist, she took other peoples songs and made them better.
This is the best reaction to this song I have ever heard. Of course pretty much all the other reactors are effected by it. They will focus on her voice and, sometimes, will remark on her guitar skills. But, none of them seemed to really grasp that oneness that was happening, which allowed for that creative flow. Everything she does in this performance is an integration and activation of mind/body/spirit in harmony.
Exactly right.
Welcome to the world of Eva Cassidy ❤❤
There's nothing like settling in to eat my lunch during my busy day and see that the Arab Man has reacted to one of my patreon suggestions!!! It's PRICELESS! Thank you!
Thank you! ❤
Angelina Jordan and Eva Cassidy are my two favorite female singers currently. Unfortunately Eva passed away in 1996 at the age of only 33 from cancer. She was relatively unknown at the time but when her material was discovered in the year or two after her death, it went viral and she has sold over 20 million albums since, becoming a true legend.
Eva sang this at the Blues Alley lounge, where she performed somewhat regularly in her home area of Washington DC. This was 10 months before her passing and it is said she was unaware of her diagnosis at that time. I find that hard to believe based on her performance. As you said, she sang from inside her soul and the way she looked up and with her eyes closed, filled with emotion, I got the impression that she knew. The tone and mood I found extremely haunting but beautiful.
Also two of my favorite female singers. K. D. Lang is right up there on my list too.
My thoughts exactly - both teller of tales without peer.
I believe the body knows what is happening even when we do not know.
Hi Lynette, you could be right. I feel it in a different way. I think the soul knows when the mind doesn't.
my 2 favourite singers are miley cyrus & the late brilliant opera/x over soprano singer/actress, patricia janeckova, who died last october, aged 25, from breast cancer, a few weeks after getting married! german born slovakian, patricia could also sing in english, see her singing on you tube, 'think of me', 'summertime' & also, when she was just 13, 'over the rainbow' !!
3 songs which demonstrated her real talent, came from a 2016 new year concert, at which she was sensational singing, 'meine lippen', 'mein her marquis' & the 'doll song'! the song which brought her to the public's attention was, 'once upon a time in the west' & 'pie jesu'!!
Fields of Gold is another incredible Eva song. Love her. Gone too soon.
My favorite ever rendition of this song. ❤ Also, her rendition of Autumn Leaves.❤ She's an angel now.😪😇
Her Autumn Leaves is out of this world. She also does a beautiful rendition of Stormy Monday.
I love love love this! So sad this wonderful artist died of cancer not long after this. This was played at my uncles funeral.
I first heard this almost 20 years ago and still get goose bumps every time ❤️
This song always brings tears, especially when you know her story. She died at 33 of cancer, I believe. I'm so moved by your appreciation of her talent. Other gems are Songbird, Fields of Gold and I Know You By Heart.
The incredible artistry on display is absolutely ethereal. The other amazing thing is that this entire performance was captured on a fan's late 1990's video device with the sound quality and shots achieved. I also agree with your evaluation of the way she uses dynamics along with fluctuations in tempo and variations of the melody lines to evoke even more emotion from an already beautifully written song to take it to another level.
An absolute masterful and emotionally charged performance of this classic song ! Eva is unbelievably and her vocals just pull at your heartstrings and hypnotize you into her world ! She left this world far too soon and sadly became only really popular after her passing ! God bless this beautiful soul ! Thank you posting this wonderful gem and performance for the ages. I'm glad you finally reacted to Eva Cassidy and if you get a chance, grab a few more tunes from this performance because they are just as mesmerizing to witness. Sending you much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
Eva is my second favorite after Lara.
Such a hidden treasure for years and now a great influence on so many from the new generation including Angelina Jordan.
She died only 10 months after this performance in Blues Alley, and was only discovered 5 years later in UK, immediately topping charts there.
She composed herself the finger picking guitar partition to match her voice and her storytelling !
She could sing blues, jazz, gospel, … she was pure, authentic, creative, …
What a loss 😢
Excellent commentary. Yes, her soul is on full display during this performance. You need to listen to more of her performances. They all rip your heart out. Field of Gold, Danny Boy, Time After Time, etc.
One of the best reactions I've heard(and I have heard dozens) to this masterpiece by Eva. Well done, sir. You are one of the very few who focus on her dynamic use of volume and delivery.
You will be finding out so much about her and I'll let the other subscribers fill you in on what her story is. But, it is very fair to say she has left her mark with us with her rendition of this classic song. You know where I'm coming from but there is room to squeeze Eva and her masterpiece into my heart along with Angelina and a newcomer, Emma Kok. After you hear her story play it again and soak it all in. Eva singing 'Over The Rainbow" and Celine Dion singing 'O Holy Night' in a chapel with a chorus are moments when my whole body stops working and I am overtaken by a rush of emotion which never lessens every time I hear them sing these classics.
It's like there are 2 voices. It's a duet 😊
I loved your comments! Thank you. 🎶🙏
Eva is wonderful. I've been listening to her for over 20 years. Her voice is so beautiful, but she also makes me cry every time - because she's gone, but also because her voice is so beautiful. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction.
Also...
I Know You by Heart
Autumn Leaves
Fields of Gold
What a Wonderful World
and so many more.
So much more touching when you know her story. Very shy person that didn't really like to perform in front of people and now she is somewhere over the rainbow.
I promess, I never heard anyone expressing his feelings so beautifly, as you did, when listening to that wonderful Eva's performance. Bravo.
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.
Thank you for bringing some Eva Cassidy to your channel, so sad she was taken from us so young
Great reaction. I've loved her version of this song from the first time I heard it. You're right we humans don't just like music, we need it. Sadly, Eva Cassidy only lived to be 33 yrs old.
You are so right. Not only did we watch her soul perform but you could hear it like diamonds tinkling on clear night hanging from windchimes. Like she could produce the sound by controlling the air. Did she get to go over her rainbow I wonder. beautiful choice and wonderful reviews.
Eva Cassidy had the voice of an angel, she was taken far too soon. We played her cover of Field of Gold at my grandmothers funeral many years ago, she always loved it.
RIP Eva ❤
Perfection ❤
the beutiful eva what a story teller what a beutiful voice she has one of my all time favourite female singers loved it arab man love from the uk
What a singer! Highly skilled, highly emotional. An absolutely original interpretation of a highly respected standard. Love it! Incredible reaction by Arab Man as usual.
There is such power in the quietness of her voice.
Amazing. RIP Eva .... what an immense loss
Thank you for sharing this and keeping Eva's prodigious musical talents alive for all of the world.
She is a true original whose music will live on hundreds of years from now.
She has other covers that are just as beautiful and emotional.
Time After Time, Fields Of Gold, Autumn Leaves and see just some of her extraordinary range in ones like Stormy Monday and I Know You By Heart and many others.
Loves her covers done in Blues Alley.
Enjoy.
Autumn Leaves next please...live
I second that
Great Reaction 👍🙏😎
She did this not long before she succumbed to cancer at the young age of 33. She was know in Washington DC where she was from and thank God someone had the foresight to videotape this performance. She had been trying to secure a recording contract but they didn't want her performing all the different genres she was so good at. She played at local Blues and Jazz Nightclubs. Unfortunately she passed away before becoming famous elsewhere. Fortunately this evenings video taping ended up in England where it became very popular a year or two later. Eventually it was shared to wider audiences through the internet, especially through reaction videos on YuTube etc. It was recorded in 1996, the year she died. I didn't hear of her until December of 2023, just a month after my wife of 50 years passed that November. This recording of Over The Rainbow moved me and brought me to tears of joy by the time she finished the first line of the song and only got better as it went on. She literally reinvented this song and made it her own without changing a word. I feel it is being reacted to by many people these days because the God given talent she has is something that I believe God sees many people in need of this type of blessing especially in this present time we are going through.
That is the difference between performing and being an artist...
Thanks a lot for an amazing reaction to this masterpiece. Because I think THAT is what it really is. This happens to be one of my absolute favorite performances by any singer ever, including Angelina. And people who know me know that THAT doesn't come easy😉 I think that Eva's passing from skin cancer in her early 30's is one of the biggest losses in modern time music, but luckily, though mainly posthumous, quite a few of her performances like this one have become more known to the public. I'm quite sure that you will get suggestions from a lot of people more knowledgeable about her than I am myself. Before I go, I HAVE to mention that there is a beautiful mashup of Eva and Angelina performing Sting's "Fields Of Gold", which I am absolutely positive that you will love. You can find the video on the channel of Chris Walker, AKA BigAngieFan. The latter is the name of his channel. Have a great weekend, Boudy!! Love from Norway ♥♥♥
A masterpiece is indeed what this is. Sting said about "Fields of Gold", "It's her song now". She also owns Over the Rainbow. No one has ever sang it with this emotion and finesse.
It’s like her voice and her fingers are dancing together- to the music of a heart…. RIP sweet angel
You are absolutely right: we need music! And Eva Cassidy was such an amazing singer, guitarist, musician!
Her version of Fields of Gold moved sting to say it was his favorite. She makes me cry, that voice has the god tone. So clear and just jets out all the emotions of who sshe is and why shes gone and how shhity it was most of us cant see her.
She pretty much guaranteed that Songbird would be played at weddings forever with her version.
Your comments on Eva Cassidy’s Over the Rainbow are phenomenal. You were able to put into words what I have been feeling over the years every time I hear this version . This is my favorite I want played at my funeral. Also, Fields of Gold is another of her masterpieces.
Absolutely magic...She left us with a treasured legacy.....and like many others left us too soon. Thank you for this special presentation....i just love her soulful version of this classic song...in fact one of the best versions i have ever heard...I dont compare it to Judy Garland because each had its own magic.
I get goosebumps on my FACE when I watch this woman's live performances...EVERY TIME. Thanks to your member that suggested this
Her version of "Imagine" is incredible. The last song she sang in public was, "Oh, What a Wonderful World", which is also off the charts. It was a shame that she passed in 1996. She wrote and rearranged (this one) and sang her own way. She's playing the melody in the background, while she sings over it. She was remarkable as an artist and it was a great loss when she passed away. Thank you!
Perfectly well put on her beautiful emotional performance. ❤
You need to React Nightbird song Eva Cassidy live
th-cam.com/video/K-X1g-aEeNc/w-d-xo.html nightbird
There's music you listen to......Then there's music you feel. Eva does it everytime.
You explained the synchronicity between the singer and the singer, who is also playing, very well. There is nothing else like it.
You just don't hear music today with this kind of dynamics, phrasing and depth of feeling. It so sad to say but I'm so glad we still have these recordings to remind ourselves of how truly magical and moving music can be. What an incredible gift she left us.
She was a beautiful soul ❤
Fields of Gold, always a favorite of mine, is taken to a new level by Eva. Loved your deep understanding of her artistry.
Your reaction is so genuine ... you really understand what you are talking about. You pick up on all those little things that make Eva incredible.
He says music is a core our existence. Did you notice even infants react emotionally to music. Infants "get it" right away.(There's a youtube video that shows an infant reacting emotionally to different styles of his mother's singing). My very earliest memory was of my mother singing to me when I was an infant. ("Once in a lullaby."). I venture some of you have similar memories.
This is by far the single best performance of this song period! Gone too soon and no where near enough recordings left behind.
I will mention that Angelina did a cover of Eva’s version of Stings Fields of Gold. Kaleidoscope did a mash up of the two of them singing it. Pure beauty
It is more than sad that Eva passed away from cancer, & so very young. What a special voice she had. Love you Eva ❤💘💘💘
Sadly, Eva lost her struggle with melanoma only 10 months after this video was recorded. Though it's documented she didn't yet know she had cancer during this performance, I've always wondered about the subliminal impact of having this disease to Eva's mental state when she performed this song. We can all feel the emotion that oozes from every chord and lyric performed. Probably, that's just who she always was. Such a beautiful artist. And a tragic loss to her family and every one of her fans.
I’d heard someone else say it was a recurring cancer from an earlier bought.
Fields Of Gold and I Know You By Heart, just strike at my heart in the deepest of ways. She truly is a national treasure.
My brother died on 2021 due to Lupus & Covid, and looking at his videos with the family there is one of him playing this song with one of my daughter's. It broked me,😢 Thank you for this beautiful artist...what a voice❤ Sublime and just Perfection🙏❣️
Beautiful. Thank you.
I must have heard this song a thousands times before but it never meant anything to me until I heard Eva Cassidy sing it. It’s absolutely transcendental. She was such a beautiful talent.
Oh my goodness.. this was.. every thing you said was perfect ❤️!
Thank you for your insightful, geartfelt, best ever reaction to Eva singing this song! ❤
This one always make me sob.
One of the favorite artists of my life, she was taken from us far too soon. Too much beautiful music we will never hear. Check out another of my favorites, Katie Melua, sing an "impossible" duet with Eva's rendition of Over the Rainbow. BTW, I expect that Angelina Jordan will one day be regarded in this rare class of artists.
Great catch on noticing the difference between a musician going through the motions, and one who's playing straight from the soul. You're right, it's not a conscious thing, it's a zone that we can tap into when the link between the muscle memory of playing, and the spirit of the emotions in the music becomes a gestalt.
Yes, very emotional. And now that you know her story it will definitely make you cry.
You said it in a very great way. Eva Cassidy to me, her songs are so incredibly important. Her voice is that of an angel come down to earth.
SUBLIME
Absolute perfection
ThAT ain't noodling...thats beautiful fingerstyle/jazz type playing
I see that your reaction to this was 2 weeks ago. I only found out about Eva in February. If you are interested in her story, her friends made a short documentary which tells her journey in music and is excellent. Also, Fields Of Gold is breathtaking. When Sting heard her version of it, he said that it was no longer his song, it was Eva's. She was an unknown treasure while she with us. Now she is eternally ours. in the few recordings that we have. I know she is looking from the next world, and so happy to feel the love that we all have for her. 🤗❤
The meaning of your communication is the response you get. That sums up Eva. Probably the greatest conveyor of emotion. She was a stunning singer and guitarist and a shame she never found success in her life but at least we have her now. If you love this listen to Autumn Leaves, Fields of Gold and Songbird.
I work at a bar/ resturant with Uni and a Eva's brother Dan came in all the time and one time he gave me her CD and I have loved her sining ever since. Great singer taken way to soon😢❤
She could sing the blues with the best!
I pray she somehow knows that we’re still in awe of her performances. I cry every time.
She has superb phrasing.
I have heard Angelina Jordon sing this too.
I want to here Angelina singing it picking away at the Guitar as well.
I loved your Reaction to Ava.
I've watched a number of reactions to this great performance, and yours is the most perceptive and heartfelt.
My first time watching a reaction by you. I stopped really to just listen to Eva sing this song, again. Like many here, I have listened to this countless times and have listened to many reactions. Your comments are the first to actually describe what I experience when listening to Eva sing this song. Thank you.
For your information, there is a performance by Angelina Jordan combined with Eva to Sting's song "Fields of Gold" one of the most exciting combinations. Eva did the performance of the song in this way Angelina sang a short part of the song the way Eva did and then the combined editing came...recommended 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷
Everytime I hear this performance I cry don't know why it just happens❤
The purity and beauty of her voice captures you with the first note sung. There's no one like her. She also took this very popular song originally made famous by Judy Garland as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and transformed it into her own far more beautiful song. She was also eclectic in the types of songs and genres she sang in, which is why she was never signed to a contract. In those days you had to fit into a niche. The man who didn't sign her and could have, later came to apologize to her when he found out she was dying of cancer. She didn't take it personally. She left us far too soon. Good thing that concert was recorded! She wasn't happy with it since she had a cold and wasn't singing at her best. Could've fooled me! An angel in human form. Her rendition of Sting's Fields of Gold blew his mind when he heard it years after she had died. He told his friend David Foster that it was the greatest version of his song. React to her singing that song next and you'll see what he meant.
It was a pleasure watching your reaction, This version always gives me tears, what a beautiful talent Eva Cassidy was
i can't listen to her without crying, she is that good 😪
🎨 I love this show so much. Thank you for bringing so much beautiful music hour away. And thank you again to all the people who recommend stuff.
Eva Cassidy is one of the greatest female vocalists of all time, gone far too young! For me it is So Hyang, Eva, and Lara Fabian at the top of my personal favorites (in that order). Thanks for the reaction!
Your analysis is spot on. I'm a guitar player and for me Eva always knows exactly how use her guitar to serve the music she creates. Great review.
Autumn Leaves, Nightbird, Fields of Gold - Honestly, anything she sings is astonishing, but these three in addition to the one you just reacted to are my favorites
"Pure Magic" sums her up so well. He version of Sting's "Fields of Gold" is, in my opinion, even better.
Only so well known, here in the UK, thanks to the late, great, Sir Terry Wogan, who championed her music on the radio.
One of her band members said that if she didn't connect to a song she would not sing it. I think that is why she emotes so well. So skilled. So delightful. She was a true artist who left us way too soon.
So happy you reacted to this song. She was a beautiful soul, and taken from us far to soon. You should check out Songbird and Time After Time, they are really touching and powerful as well.
Pure gold, personal opinion, cover that pulverizes both technically and emotionally any other cover... including the original, Eva at an indescribable level, currently I only find in Angelina Jordan the ability to convey unique emotions, thank you, beautiful video and review
Eva was so, so great. I wish she was still with us.😪
I think you would really enjoy watching Lucy Thomas covering Barbara Streisand's "Evergreen". A beautiful young lady with a beautiful angelic voice.
