    My best dog friend died on the 19th of November. He was my little heart and sole. Benji was a grey schnoodle who I have no idea how I’m going to continue on life without him. 16.5 years on earth isn’t enough and I hysterically cry every few hours over him, but this song has helped me try and get through it. So if anyone reads this. Please send the bestest boy all your prayers or condolences.

    This beautiful song moved me to the point of tears. Never give up guys. After every storm, no matter how much lightning strikes down upon us or how much thunder blinds our path, there will always be a rainbow in the end. There's strength within us, to overcome everything and everyone. There's strength within hope and dreams and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. You are worth so much and you were brought here for a reason, keep that in mind. You are valuable and you are cherished, you deserve your own rainbow. Everyone has a rainbow, you just have to be willing to see it.

    Didn't even know this song existed! Just came across a post on Facebook which mentioned ,''In late 1988, late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole called sound studio at 3 pm and asked if he could come record because he had an idea. He was so polite that the studio owner said yes even though it was too late. 15 mins later he showed up, sang and played his ukulele and recorded -Over the rainbow- in just one take.'' I'm happy to discover this wonderful artist.

    My son was born on this date 3 yrs ago. And it was storming the 3 days i was trying to have him. They had to make an emergency C section. The shots they gave me in my back didnt work so i was fully awake and suffered each slice and tug. This song played and finally with a bit of help with morphine they pulled him out and i glanced at him, hear his cries along with the song fade in the background while i pased out. Mins later after holding him i felt no pain and we fell asleep and when we woke up the sun was shining. This is the song i still sing to him.....happy birthday to my baby boy.

A magical piece, sang by Garland with the deepest of understanding. He felt it, sang it. So many others songs or words not heard, but devastated by erosion. Wish all peace

He went up to a producer who was traveling and asked if he could play for him because he has worked so hard on it. I'm still sad he passed away when I was young. Hopes he rests in peace in the islands with the others. He inspired me so much.

And we are listening to it right now he likes to fall asleep to it. He turns 2 on Monday. This song can tame wild beasts. Because no matter what mood he is in. Once he hears the first strums of the ukelele hes quiet and calm. Thank you Iz. You have saved many sleepless nights

Also, the cut-off rib wheel frame 1:15 seconds 1:30 seconds 1:50 seconds and the composition of several original images and the transition of video editing are wonderful. I was surprised because it had lyrics subtitles. I was impressed with the progress. 👍🙌👍❤️ Thank you. 😊

      +Patrick Volpato I know how you feel. This song helped with depression before my father passed away. Then it was pain and sorrow for many long years. After 6 years of destroying who I was I finally woke up and closed the book of my father. I did it by finishing his will.Now I can write my own story again. And my family is able to do the same.
      I hope you can move on someday and write your own story with him as a chapter in it. Instead of the memory of his passing being a constant part of your story.

    Its surprising how many forget his motivation for the song. Was from knowing his people were dying, Hawaiian kids were committing suicide and the culture was excluding itself and the children of ot didn't want as much to pass on its culture. The song was both an ode to the sadness of what was happening and a song for uplifting someone's perspective that good is there among the evil.

      Woah, idk why but I have a theory that when someone dies their spirit goes into another person before they are born but they don't remember their previous life. So I think using my theory is that Israel's spirit could be your daughter's spirit, but this is all my theory so you don't need to believe it and there's no need to believe it

    My grandfather Lee died June 4th, 2024 due to Parkinson's disease. He fought in Vietnam, quickly earning the title of seargent. He was injured by flying debris in battle, causing a piece of metal to get stuck in his knee. Over the course of time, the pain and suffering he went through, physically and mentally, began to worsen. He needed help with simple things, such as getting out of bed or taking a shower. My grandmother, even with all of the pressure, never left his side. Eventually, she, alongside my father and uncle, decided to send him to assisted living. During this time, he started to develop mild dementia, forcing us to put him under hospice care. He died around a week later.
    At his funeral, they played this gem of a song. As it continued, I started to weep. I just relearned about this song, and also found out about IZ's death. It was a perfect fit for his celebration of life.
    Thank you.

    never give up, do always your best every days, keep smiling and joy on your face, speak to others and don't keep bad feeling inside you, because at the end, you know you will always keep something sad into you, so useless to keep too much...life will give you enough other challenge to do...

    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Way up high
    And the dreams that you dream of
    Once in a lullaby, oh
    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Bluebirds fly
    And the dreams that you dream of
    Dreams really do come true-ooh-ooh
    Someday I'll wish upon a star
    Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
    Where trouble melts like lemon drops
    High above the chimney tops that's where
    You'll find me, oh
    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Bluebirds fly
    And the dream that you dare to
    Oh why, oh why can't I? I
    Someday I'll wish upon a star
    Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
    Where trouble melts like lemon drops
    High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
    Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
    And the dream that you dare to
    Why, oh why can't I? I

    Às 3 da madrugada de 1988, o cantor havaiano Israel Kamakawiwo'ole ligou para um estúdio local e disse que precisava gravar algo, recebendo um prazo de 15 minutos para chegar. Israel pesava 226 kg e tiveram que rapidamente encontrar uma cadeira de aço para ele sentar. Então, em um único take, Kamakawiwo'ole gravou a versão icônica de "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (Em algum Lugar Além do Arco-Íris), usando apenas a voz e o ukulele (pequeno instrumento de corda), que logo estaria entre as músicas mais tocadas e usadas como trilha sonora em todo o mundo. Mesmo após a sua morte em 1997, com apenas 38 anos, sua música e vida simples, mas inspiradora, continuaram a ressoar por todo o mundo. Um video simples, que mostra Israel tranquilamente dedilhando seu ukelele e cantando a música na beira da praia, já chegou à 1 bilhão e 200 milhões de visualizações no TH-cam. Descendente de nativos havaianos e nascido em Honolulu (Capital do Havaí, onde nasceu também Barack Obama), Israel nunca renegou ou esqueceu suas origens, sempre defendendo os direitos dos povos indígenas do Havaí

I often wonder why it is that, life takes away a lot of those who I cherish so dearly, but I am left to cling to those I still have? Life is hard but WE ARE HARDER!. Let's just love each other!

      They are in heaven. There are three heavens.
      When the term "heaven" is not used symbolically in Scripture, it usually refers to one of three realms.
      (1) Our Immediate Atmosphere
      (2) Outer Space (The Sun, Moon, And Stars)
      (3) The Home Of God
      I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know - God knows (2 Corinthians 12:2).

    • @siegfriedk.6276
      @siegfriedk.6276 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If God put everyone into heaven, heaven will become as rotten and corrupt as earth. If there is a heaven, what hope do you have to go there? Don't you have something to hide also?
      Here's hope: "And so God loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall never perish, but have everlasting life" - John 3:16

    Una noche de 1988, a las 3 de la madrugada, el cantante hawaiano Israel Kamakawiwo'ole llamó a un estudio local y dijo que tenía que grabar algo. Suplicó al ingeniero: "Por favor, ¿puedo entrar? Tengo una idea".
    Entonces, en una sola toma, Kamakawiwo'ole grabó la icónica versión de "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" que pronto conmovería a innumerables personas en todo el mundo. La grabación, con sólo la voz de Kamakawiwo'ole acompañada por el ukelele, pareció cautivar a todos los que la escucharon de una forma absolutamente inolvidable.
    Incluso después de la muerte de Kamakawiwo'ole en 1997, con sólo 38 años, su conmovedora música y su corta pero inspiradora vida siguieron teniendo un profundo efecto en personas de todo el mundo.
