As a Hawaiian and one of those that was at his funeral. I just wanted to say. Thank you for your kind words. IZ Lives. Especially, in his songs
Right on brudda!
IZ will always be rememberd ....However the newest idol winner Iam reminds me of IZ.......
I met him when used to surf in Hawaii, I wish I could have been there for his funeral.
Mahalo fo dat
As a main lander or in more harsh terms a "hoale" I want to say we appreciate Iz, let's let all the BS go and bask in this beautiful mans voice and the legacy he left for ALL of us to enjoy! : )
Yes, he died. And yes, they poured his ashes into the sea. And yes, that remarkable outpouring of love from all those people were the residents of Hawaii turning out for his celebration of life. A remarkable talent gone much too young. An unforgettable performance.
Beautiful Beautiful song sad that he pass but will never ever be forgotten. FLY HIGH OVER THAT RAINBOW .
You put it so well! Agree totally!
Even tho he did some questionable things back then
Iz is GOAT!
There aren't a lot of people who are loved so universally. IZ was one of the kindest souls the world has known, and I've never heard of someone disliking him. He was a gem of a person who brought joy to many people.
I cry the ugly cry EVERY time I watch this video. He is indeed over the rainbow. The Hawaiian people gave him a much respected send off. Mahola for sharing. 🤙❤
Me too.
Amen!
Me as well
I’m still crying.
(psst: "mahalo")
Ten THOUSAND people crowded into IZ’s funeral. What an event! What a fitting send-off for the boy from Haw’aii!
It's Hawai'i
@@rachelrawr6374 Nerd lol
@@daboss8870 at least she has respect to spell it the right way
Millions of us discovered the artist, fell in love with his voice and music, then mourned his loss. All in the span of a single video.
Very true. Whe I discovered him I looked for tour dates and found out he had passed a far bit before then.
Unfortunately Harri, you just watched Izzy's ashes being poured into the sea, this was his funeral service.
Ashes spread at sea by Izzy’s native Hawai’i.
@@riccileighisreal6889 Right On. Beautiful ceremony for them to be proud of especially to this song.
it's not unfortunate. it's the most beautiful funeral i've ever seen.
@@lylechipperson3407 it is unfortunate, the fact he left to soon.
Well, at his size it really is only a question of time before the body just gives up :/ Still sad tho, but not really surprising
I know he’s smiling down at everyone who’s heart was touched by his music 🥹
This makes me cry every time. 😥
Don't be sad. He is somewhere over the rainbow❤️🌈
What a gentle voice.......Rest in Peace Israel 🙏😭😭🙏 🌹🌹🌹
Don't mourn brother. IZ lives in heart of all of us who where touched by him!
Best version I ever heard of that song. What A wonderful World is another great one he does.
IF a voice could be heaven. His voice would be heaven. His version of the song get's me EVERY time...Dangit! Who's cuttin' onions!
It gets me too. I couldn't understand why either. The video is so upbeat and the footage of him showed such a joyous and sunny person. The way he delivers the song is joyous, but yet it's a wistful, earnest and slightly mournful interpretation and it's just brilliant to get you in the feels. Some people have an amazing gift for using their beautiful voices and also connecting emotionally w/ the listener. Karen Carpenter was another w/ a rare voice and that rare gift of emotional connection that just captivates people like this man does.
Same here
Tell them to knock it off its getting to me too..😭😭😭😭
Agreed!
A beautiful voice. A beautiful soul. His was the largest funeral in Hawaii since the last king of Hawaii a hundred years before. The Governor of Hawaii was there. He cried.
I lived in Hawaii for 6 years and had the privilege of hearing this man's music. I have all his CD's and carry it with me. He was an angel on earth. RIP IZ!
RIP IZ Mother Earth miss's your gentle spirit and doe's humanity.
His voice is ethereal. I cannot listen to this song without shedding a tear. There's just something otherworldly about Iz. He wasn't meant to be here long, but man, what a mark he left on this world.
Tienes toda la razón ya que es una voz angelical no como la basura del regueton.
Beauty like he created is timeless and eternal.
He lives forever through the joy he created.
IZZ proves that we should NEVER judge a book by it’s cover. Forever loved IZZ…RIP. 🌐🕊🙏✌️
I can’t get through this song without tearing up. Every. Damned. Time. 🥹
I born and raised in Hawaii . Every person I talked to who met him said he was very nice and generous with his time when people wanted to talk to him
Brother IZ is still loved and missed in Hawaii . Having seen the video 20-30 times I still have to wipe my eyes at the end . Your natural reaction to his voice
Is a testament to his talent.☀️
🌊🌈
I've watched this video over the years and always cry. Yes, so sad. But I remind myself that God gave him such a wonderful gift and how grateful I am that IZ left this gift for us to enjoy for always. I'm so thankful he shared that gift before he went away.
A man mountain with the voice of an angel. Rip brotha Iz
Yo
I don’t even have to watch the video, Israel ( Brother Iz) has been blowing me away for years. His voice can bring me to tears. Listen to his other songs, just beautiful! Love your channel!
This touches your soul. Hauntingly beautiful.
Didn’t need to cry tonight. I can’t help but tear up every time.😢❤️ The celebration of his life by so many is incredibly beautiful.
That beautiful voice must be singing in God’s choir. Patty
Legend has it that IZ called his record producer at 4AM and demanded that they open the recording studio to record this song .... less than 2 days later , IZ crossed the Rainbow Bridge .
Don't listen to legends. The song was recorded in 1990, seven years before he passed.
3AM, and he passed 7 years later in 1997
This is what I asked my son to play it at my memorial. I've got a terminal condition and it won't be a long that he'll need to use it. But try the medley of Somewhere over the Rainbow and What a Wonderful World.
The video shows the Hawaiians setting his soul free by pouring his ashes onto the waters of the Pacific. It wasn't sad to them, it's just the circle of life. IZ was greatly respected by Hawaiians. I first heard IZ's version when a favorite character on a TV show dies while surfing on Hawaii. I was sobbing. I believe I will subscribe Harri as you seem intelligent.
Mark Greene er?
Yeah, I ugly cried when I saw that scene.
@@thisisme2476 I was so shocked that they killed the character that way.
God bless you 🙏
Bless.your soul
Donna, may you pass your wisdom and love to your son and the rest of your family while you’re here, and peaceably pass over the rainbow when it’s your time. Much love and God bless you.
Might be the most achingly beautiful performance ever, for me. Excellent reaction.
I lived in Hawaii for 15 years, he was such an icon and treasure for the locals... so much love
He was such a kind person! And has a voice that will never be forgotten!
Dammit man... you seem to have a knack of picking songs with deep personal attachments to my late wife. First was ELO's "Need Her Love" and now this beautiful song. Jennifer and I were stationed in Pearl Harbor and this song by Iz was "our" song (BTW...I cannot state how impactful/big of an artist Iz was...and still is...). After Jen passed, she had two memorials. One where we settled and the other in her hometown. She was from a small town and everyone she grew up with wanted to pay respects. The day beforehand, her brother's wife showed us the slideshow to be played before the memorial...but the music hadn't been added yet. She listed the tracks and one was "Over The Rainbow". I asked which version and she said she wasn't sure. I mentioned that I hoped it wasn't the Iz (Hawaiian) version because "I won't be able to keep it together". She said she didn't think that it was going to be because of that part of the country (New Mexico/Texas). But as I sat down in the church, trying to keep things together, a song finished and then I heard THAT ukulele. It took only a few notes and that was it. It turned out that the person putting the music to the slideshow knew Jennifer and I lived there and thought that version was beautiful and appropriate. She was very, very correct.
Even though it gets me every time, thank you for reacting to his version.
I'm sorry for your loss hon. Your in my prayers always. Peace.
You wiped me out!!!
Damn it, man, you made ME cry 😢 !!! Bless you and your Jennifer. You have to know she will be waiting for you, and when you two reunite, guess who she's gonna be listening to and who's seat she will be saving in that heavenly concert ??? You betcha, it's LZ and you. I hear, tickets are FREE, along with your souls !!!
We played it at my Father's as well during the Slide Show! Plus "You'll never meet another Hawaiian like me" ❤️
@@MyCheriAnolani It's a beautiful song. When Jennifer was still with us, any time his version would play, we'd look at each other and smile... a little smile about remembering living on Oahu.
Cruising listening to a CD of IZ’s is transcendent.
I have water dripping from my eyes every time I was this or even hear his voice. RIP
His funeral caravan stretched for miles. Check out his other band Makaha Sons of Niihau. Good stuff brother.
The man had a voice of an Angel - Rest in peace brother IZ
I remember when I found this years ago. I watched it several times before I realized that was his funeral service, or celebration of his life there at the end. I haven't seen this in some time. Thanks for bringing back into my life.
This and the version of White Sandy Beach with him talking about his family at the beginning always do me in.
Reminds me of my dad, he loved the islands with all his heart, and brother IZ too. "I saw you in my dream, we were walking hand in hand..."
I have lived in Hawaii since January 69'
There was Duke, Eddie, and Brother IZ.
ALOHA
This big man had an even larger heart than his frame could hold...this one gets me everytime...just call him IZ...that's the way he wanted to be known
The ceremony at the end is surreal.
It was a beautiful farewell for a beautiful man❤️
Beautiful ! And yes, I'm crying !
Love this! His last name is pronounced Ka-MAH-Ka-Vee-VOH-Lay…He was a legend and much beloved on the Islands, very proud of his home and native culture…
The voice of an angel. RIP Bother
LONG LIVE IZ
That voice is mesmerizing - !
Iz was an enchanted soul, whose music touches everyone.
The guitar standing by itself was the first indication of his death.
Every time when i listen this song i cry a little
"IZ will never be a was" 💜
That was a scene from Braddah IZ’s funeral.
I fell in love with this man from the second I heard him sing this song years ago. What a beautiful soul he was. Thank you for picking this song. The end of the video was there celebration of his life .
I was lucky enough to meet him when I surfed in Hawaii, kindest guy on the planet
His voice could reach into one's soul. Amazing, just amazing. Maybe, just maybe, gifted and blessed ❤️🌺👍🐛🦋❤️✝️🙏🌈😄☹️. Means a lot to me as a Hawaiian. To see others mourn one of our gifted legends. Mahalo and Aloha for for honor and respect 🌺.
I learned about IZ, when traveling in Hawaii. I fell in love with his vocals in the early 90s. Hawaiians love him, even now....a gentle giant, with a beautiful voice.
this is an Very Emotional song, this is one of the best seen clips on You Tube, IZ Lives , by this song, he stay's in our hearts, this is his legacy,
for the one .. a tear, for the other ..a smile, and for everyone . . a Warm Feeling in our Heart.
This man and song pulls a tear every time I hear it. I don't know if it is sadness or joy but I do know it is so so sweet.
The Voice of an Angel who nows sits beside our Loving God for Him to Enjoy. RIP Izzy
For me this is the most beautiful version. He also does it with "What a beautiful world". A beautiful soul. RIP IZ🌹
First time I heard this song was at the end of the movie Finding Forrester when Sean Connery was riding his bicycle down the road (great movie). I loved this version of the song so much I purchased every CD Israel Kamakawiwo'ole put out, he was an outstanding artist greatly loved.
Also the 1st time I heard this, and i totally fell in love with this version. Made me weep for mankind.
He really is somewhere over the rainbow now
Yes, he was a hero of Hawaii. Beautiful.
IZ forever lives in our hearts.. he'll never die, cause happiness is what he wanted from us, not tears
Most importantly, he lived and his voice is forever part of our world.
He was a beautiful soul, and blessed with a wonderful voice.
RIP
Makes me howl. And it did it again. Like a baby.
Cool reaction from a man wearing an ultra cool shirt. RIP IZ.
I say anyone who has dry eyes after listening to this needs to look into themselves. His voice touches something deep inside.
Israel, was a beautiful soul and he made simply beautiful music and for me, he represented the beauty of Hawaii. He passed and they were celebrating his life and dropping his ashes into the ocean. You should listen to his song Hawaii it is so beautiful, this video brings tears to my eyes every time.
This video is such an emotional roller coaster. You feel like you just found a new friend and you are amazed at his voice. You were probably thinking what else has he sang. Then you find that you're watching your new friend's funeral. Such a beautiful tribute to a man with a voice of an angel. R.I.P. IZ.
Braddah Iz stay singing and living - you prove it. RIP Braddah. 🤙🏼
Watch the Hoku Hanohano awards where he closed the show and it was it last appearance on the annual awards show. He sang with his former band the Makaha Sons of Niihau, and at the end they all gave him a big hug and surrounded him with love and aloha as he was close to the end his journey. He had to perform with an oxygen tube in his nose to gelp hime breath. Thats dedication and love for the perpetuation of music and culture of all of Hawaii
There's a mash-up he performs, of this arrangement, but segues in the middle into, What a Wonderful World, still with the ukulele, and then finishes back into the finale of, Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
That is how I first heard him, and I fell in love with his voice. RIP IZ
that version is all the more beautiful and the additional song also has such a happy uplifting message
IZs voice is Forever in our hearts and isn't going anywhere! He will live on forever on the internet! God rest his soul! R.I.P. brother from another mother! You will not be forgotten!!!
Remarkable beauty...
By the time it gets to the volcano I can’t hold back the tears any longer. . . Our Hawaiian treasure!
I play this for my baby niece on car rides when she gets fussy, she calms right down while tears are steady streaming down my face, I can never listen to the whole song without crying. It’s just that beautiful.
How BEAUTIFUL!
Hi Harri , I am as 75 yr old Canadian lady and I have listened to Izzy for many many years , I cried many tears when he passed away, I just wished many others would have heard his songs
I’ve always loved his version. He had such an angelic voice.
I love this version. I have requested that it be played at my funeral....not to be morbid but to be just what it is...beautiful.
I agree with you the best version ever.I discovered it 7 years ago
His music lives on.
Thank you for such a pure and wholesome reaction. Your humanity SHINES!!!
I knew brother Izzy from the "Makaha Sons of Ni'hau" the band he was in with his brother and his nephews, I always liked what is called worldmusic, so not western music. So yes i was awareof his death. He also did a great version of What a wonderfull world. Al though in my opinion all his songs are great songs. A unique voice left us.
His funeral was also an amazing celebration of his life. Few things are as beautiful as that.
You are so right about the number of people that he touched. He was an icon for the Hawaiin people. His name is pronounced Izzy kamaka vee vee Olay. He sang from his soul.
This song is from his album facing future and the whole thing is absolutely beautiful , if you have some time to listen, I promise you will love it...♡
You should hear what Iz did with "twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". Amazing! We miss Bruddah Iz so much.
This is me and my wife's song. I was a military brat, and so spent ages 3 to 8 on Oahu. Got to meet him, and see him perform live.
He was such a gentle, caring, and giving man. I tear up almost every time I hear this song.
Thanks Harri, sure needed this one today. RIP Izzy. Amazing singer.
This song is pure beauty. I've had it on my playlist for years. Thanks for being open to bring thing song to the program. Love you brother!
what an incredible talent israel was, It's impossible not to cry when seeing him sing. Rip israel u live on in ur music. 🙏🏻
Yes my brother he passed. A gentle soul looks down on us all and I pray that his peaceful and gentle countenance influences those of us remaining on this earth. Peace to all and yes IZ Lives in those of us who will take his example
Such a great song, and this is one of several stunningly powerful interpretations it has inspired. Eva Cassidy‘s version is another you should check out; it is indescribable and you’ll never forget it.
I first heard Iz's rendition of this song when a part of it was used in the final credits of the movie "50 First Dates". I thought it was the most beautiful version of the the song I ever heard. I used the full version as part of a cd of songs at the beginning of my wedding in 2010. Even though there were a dozen songs on the cd, quite a few folks came up to me after the ceremony and said how beautiful this one song was. It was sad to find out that he had passed. I have listened to his whole cd many times, and all of the songs are wonderful.
Iz is pronounced "is" , it's short for Israel, he was a legend in Hawaii, I discovered him on a trip to Hawaii in 2004 and fell in love with his voice and persona, a man full of love and happiness....RIP IZ...
This is my dad's favorite version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and is on our family You Tube playlist. My 2 year-old loves it too, she stops and watches the whole video when we put it on and just sways to the beautiful music. RIP IZ. ❤
This is the absolute best version of this song ever, and your reaction to it was fantastic, too. Listening to this song and your reaction to it is why I am rapidly becoming addicted to your channel, Harri!! His loss was a terrible thing for the world, as we have lost another great talent. Keep on doing what you are doing, Harri, and we will be here to enjoy the ride along with you! Cheers!
