Her hi notes and low notes are so balanced and effortless and the tone is just seamless between her hard voice and falsetto. It's just astonishing. In the end tho, it's not so much the notes, but how you use them that affects people. What a gift she had and what a gift she was to us.
The beauty of Eva is evident in all she had done. She made every song her own. Willie Nelson would be proud of her copy. The beauty in her voice is a calling from the heavens.
The song was written in the early 1940s by Nashville songwriter Fred Rose. It is one of Willie Nelson's signature songs, but it was covered by a number of male artists before Nelson covered it in 1975. It was the song that made Nelson a vocal star. Rose was born in 1898 and died in 1954. The song is startlingly contemporary both in its sentiments and its language. The musicologists can comment on its musical structure, but the chord progression is startlingly simple, at least in the version I know.
Eva Cassidy and Katie Noonan are two voices that could bring me to tears (Katie has before, I recommend you listen to her if you haven’t before. Her early music with the band George is similar to Eva’s.)
I first heard her singing Over the Rainbow in London where she quickly became very popular!!When I tried to find her in the US, I loved every song she ever sang.Then out of nowhere, I heard she had bone cancer in her hip, heartbreaking!! Now I cuddle with my young rescue kitty Mr Boots as we listen to Eva. He loves her music as much as I do!!
My Mom passed in 2020 and I listened to Eva Cassidy a lot while I mourned her passing. The power of music is amazing. It brings us up from despair and propels us forward all the while letting us walk through every emotion needed to get there.
I had never heard of Eva before a few days ago. I'm absolutely in love with this beautiful voice. I was heartbroken to discover that she's no longer with us, but the legacy she left us is so valuable and should be cherished. Rest peacefully, Miss Cassidy.
I had not heard of Eva until I picked up Blue eyes on YT. Such a prodigious talent to be taken so early. I looked her up on Wiki. So sad to lose someone like that and then there are others who are more like oxygen thieves who seem to live forever. Thank you Eva for your contribution to making hearts happy. God bless.
It’s the first time I’ve heard Eva sing this it’s absolutely beautiful. Before this I only liked Willie Nelson singing it but Eva is just as good. She was a wonderful singer. So sad she’s no longer with us. ❤
It is an incredibly rare gift for a singer to take a song we've heard sung by so many others for so many years, and sing it as if we'd never heard it before--to take those same words and music and reach down inside of us and touch our very souls. Eva Cassidy did that with this and so many other songs. She was incredibly rare; her talent a gift from God.
NO ANGEL IN HEAVEN HAS A SWEETER VOICE THEN EVA......RIP OUR LITTLE SONGBIRD.....AN ANGEL TAKEN TO HEAVEN FAR TO SOON.....YOUR FAN 4EVER, BOB FOX, LAGUNA BEACH, CA, USA
So sad to learn this beautiful singer is no longer with us, I will treasure all her music, such an amazing gorgeous voice, Rest In Peace Eva Cassidy 🥲🥰🌹
Eva was such an authentic person and true-to-herself singer that she blew me away when I found her on TH-cam. Now what I thought were great singers no longer can even hold a candle to her. I love her down-to-earth style. She could have made it big in the music business except that she could not betray herself by singing songs that record companies wanted her to sing that wasn't her. Thank you Eva for being the you. You are missed.
Wow what a baffling mystical and beautiful representation of how God. Gifted you to do that song,been like humbley at your proverbial feet for a year now,I love the control,the the power your voice has to tackle and perfect any piece you do,I love you and your presence iny life as the greatest female artist of our age,
I've loved Eva ever since I discovered her, sadly, after she was already gone. And I've listened to her version of this beautiful classic many times and never noticed until today that she does something very poignant and moving with the lyric "someday when we meet up yonder". She sings "someday soon we'll meet up yonder". Considering how we lost her at such a young age, that really struck me. I hope, one day soon, I will meet you in that land that knows no parting, sweet and beautiful soul.
well said. amazon in 2004 Eve was #4 most sold records...amazing...first time I ever heard of her. bmr she was never played on any top 40 or country station. She sings like Dean Martin....she sings for you not at you.
How beautiful her voice goes straight into my soul. So sorry Eva passed before I knew how beautiful her voice was. Thank you for sharing this beautiful version of this beautiful Willie Nelson song and God Bless 🙏🏽 R.I.P. Beautiful Angel Eva🙏🏽🕊♥️🌹♥️
I’m sorry I always thought Willie did. Thank you for telling me🙏🏽 I named my son after Willie and this song had just came out 😊 Thank you again and God Bless 🙏🏽😊

Same here friend, and my eyes are 8 years older than yours.
I totally agree with you , so sad Eva Cassidy is no longer with us, Rest In Peace Eva Cassidy
« A écouter religieusement,une voix vraiment sublime,qu’elle repose en paix 🙏’

Absolutely!
plovify I know what you mean. Thank you for posting that.
❤️💔❤️ i was the same with my wife’s passing
She was and still is an angel. Her music mesmerises me…❤
My favourite female singer ..no one can match her voice and range..and the guitar, magic
Achingly beautiful. 😢
I 've heard most of her covers but not this one until now. Oh, Lord...
Many of the greatest songs ever written don't seem to even come close to challenging this women's talent.
If TH-cam had given us nothing else but her, it still would have been enough.
There is only one reason the internet and youtube were invented and that is so the world could share Eva Cassidy
God bless you......
True.......
True........
God bless you Chuck
I had never heard of Eva before a few days ago. I'm absolutely in love with this beautiful voice. I was heartbroken to discover that she's no longer with us, but the legacy she left us is so valuable and should be cherished. Rest peacefully, Miss Cassidy.
Terry wogan discovered her and helped her become popular
I agree , Eva Cassidy sings this song the best, I’d like it sung at my funeral, 🙏❤️
Any song she covers seems like a best version, to me. Like she owns the song. What a fabulous singer.
Yes, the word "cover" is deceiving. She would choose any famous, overdone old song and make a new "original" of it, as if we never heard it before.
I agree. So far the few so f I’ve heard are so so beautiful. Touches me to the core.
This is the best version of this song ever sung. Rip beautiful Angel.
I agree.
ButterflyWingsASMR thank you for the reality
Yes
Yes, sung really well, but hear this song sung by the Oesch's the third (Swiss Family Folkband) guaranteed goose bumps
Sorry Elvis but she beats you hands down - maybe a duet from you both would be the "All Time Best" 🤗
This 1 is my favourite ❤️
Such sweetness...
Every Eva song makes me weep... But I keep on listening to her songs...
I had not heard of Eva until I picked up Blue eyes on YT. Such a prodigious talent to be taken so early. I looked her up on Wiki. So sad to lose someone like that and then there are others who are more like oxygen thieves who seem to live forever. Thank you Eva for your contribution to making hearts happy. God bless.
There isn't a single song that she doesn't make 'best'.
What an incredible voice that woman had. Such a shame she isn’t with us any longer..
Shivers down my spine, nobody can sing this song better,Fabulous
Don’t think I’ve ever heard a more touching rendition of this hauntingly lovely song ..
Shania Twain sings a beautiful version with Willie Nelson. It's just a classic isn't it?
I believe Eva was an angel brought to earth to allow us to get a glimpse of what it will be like because her voice is definitely from heaven.
Yeah
Amen!
❤😢❤
❤❤❤❤
Wouldn’t it be nice, if there really were angels and heavens. Oh well, this, right now , where we all are on earth is heaven. 😊
Beautiful.
this is quite possibly the most beautiful song ever... I have heard many beautiful renditions... But THIS! ANGEL
The best female artist of all time.
Eva Cassidy my goodness could she sing her voice was absolutely heavenly , the angels in heaven joined in when she was singing
Who is here remembering the beautiful blue eyes and incredible vocals of this lovely woman?
Me!
It's true this is the most beautiful version of this song . Poor Eva , she should have sung it another 50 years ...
I agree. Eva's voice was wonderful
kalalothar She stills is. Hope to get to that venue when it’s time🙏
So beautiful,the angels are in tears .
This song was played at my dear sister's funeral this morning. What a beautiful song.
This lady's voice, the sky is the limit beautiful
Sublime
Really beautifull rest in peace Eva your music lives on
Best version by a mile fantastic singer beautiful voice.
What a voice and what a sad loss to us all. May she RIP
Beautiful! As usual. The voice of an angel departed

It’s the first time I’ve heard Eva sing this it’s absolutely beautiful. Before this I only liked Willie Nelson singing it but Eva is just as good. She was a wonderful singer. So sad she’s no longer with us. ❤
Too much perfection.
Wow! so good just Wow!i'm cryn'
Miss you and your beautiful voice, but no doubts you are singing in a beautiful garden. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Eva was a gift from God. She left us much too soon.
Johnny Mac , I found Eva Cassidy from her CD “ Live at the Blues Alley “.
Amen to that
First time I heard of Eva Cassidy was when this lovely song was played at my sister's funeral.
😥❤
It is an incredibly rare gift for a singer to take a song we've heard sung by so many others for so many years, and sing it as if we'd never heard it before--to take those same words and music and reach down inside of us and touch our very souls. Eva Cassidy did that with this and so many other songs. She was incredibly rare; her talent a gift from God.
Back again.
Damn these tears keep wanting to leave my eyes.
Best female voice and it's not even close.
Yes it's true Eva cassidy did sing this song better than anyone, she had a beautiful voice. R. I . P.
she sings like an angel. rip
Beautiful lady Beautiful song Beautiful voice Such a sad lose Thanks TH-cam for bringing back such Beautiful memories

I feel like singing with her with my tears.
So sad to learn this beautiful singer is no longer with us, I will treasure all her music, such an amazing gorgeous voice, Rest In Peace Eva Cassidy 🥲🥰🌹
Rest in peace, Eva. May God bless your soul and soak it with love and protection.

My little brother was the same.. beautiful voice but wouldn’t go commercial. Sadly he left this world 13 Oct 2022 💔✨🎶
Eva does a brilliant job of a beautiful song. R.I.P. Eva xx
Lovely version.
The voice of an angel. It doesn’t get any better.

Eva is such a beautiful Angel w that voice!

I never met you...I love you...I miss you...
well said. amazon in 2004 Eve was #4 most sold records...amazing...first time I ever heard of her. bmr she was never played on any top 40 or country station. She sings like Dean Martin....she sings for you not at you.
I found it by accident, I’ve played it a dozen times yesterday. Moved me in a soulful way unlike any recently.
Eva is the voice of many Angels. I am hoping to start a TH-cam channel for Eva starting on Eva's birthday.
I have been playing this at 1/2 speed and marveling at Eva’s velvety vibrato. So beautiful.
Her voice has turned tears of a now forgetten pain to tears of joy for being blessed to hear it.
Her version of somewhere over the rainbow is mind blowing rip Eva
Yes, and Autumn Leaves, Danny Boy, Fields of Gold. Mind blowing indeed.
Listen to 'Anniversary Song' - even better
We can see her star in heaven....................:(
Kim O'Hagan yes indeed.
Eva Cassidy was a great singer who could easily bring tears to the eyes of the listeners with lingering feelings.
We had to wait until she was gone to truly learn how talented she was. Very sad, but at least we can still hear tis angelic voice.
Absolutely beautiful and very well done!!!🇱🇷👏👏✝️✝️👍👍👍✝️🌹❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️💕💓💗
The best version there is, bar none.
I can clearly understand every word she sings and for me that's hard , that's talent
Thank you so much......
God took his time with this one, I'm glad I lived in the time of Eva.
Perfection
Her voice is so comforting ❤️
Total perfection!
This is....the Best version of this song...!''
She had perfect pitch so you get that talent both in her guitar and in her voice. I would love to see her parents album collection back in 1996.
Just beautiful, you were amazing
I haven't heard This One. I Am So Thankful I was Introduced to Eva's Music Over 10 years Ago.
Her Quality Is Beautiful.
The world lost an Angel 👼 forever when God walked Eva home!😢🎤🎸♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Gone too soon.... 😢😢 Lucky are those who had gone to heaven, wish i meet her in heaven and hear her sweet voice❤️
This song always brings a lump to my throat. Even more so sung by Eva. Rest in Peace girl with the golden voice
I had never heard this so beautifully done
unbeliveble how great she was...
Ich liebe das Lied und die Sängerin, auch wenn sie lange nicht mehr lebt. Gott hat einen Engel mehr. R.I.P.
Beautiful song & such an inspirational singer ❤ Amazing voice 💙RIP Eva
Dear Eva. Such a beautiful voice. And she could play guitar. Very, very sad that her life was cut short.
