I lost my bright and beautiful daughter Jessica Marie to cancer at age 25. The day of her memorial service was one of heavy rain and gusty winds. But then a hour or so after I was home the storm passed, the skies began to clear, and in the East there was a perfect unbroken rainbow, and in the West, a orange sunset. Yes, it may have been a coincidence, but I want to believe that it was a sign that after a difficult life my "little girl" had reached a safe harbor. My wish for Eva Cassidy is that she too did the same. RogerC 01/09/2015

People were counting on her. As well as my grandpa age: 73 tough going through dementia. So, I fell horrible. I'm sorry for your lost :).

LOL!!! Eva Cassidy was a nobody who died a nobody. She will never be in Judy Garland's league. See, the song was written specifically for Garland, and one of the biggest reasons Garland's version, especially the original in "The Wizard of Oz," has such power is that we KNOW how Garland ended up. When she recorded the original at only 16, she had no idea how her life would turn out. We hear it nearly a century later, over 100 years after her birth, and we wish we could have been able to steer her clear from trouble. Cassidy's version is a dime-a-dozen version like all the other performers who have recorded a song that was written specifically for one person. It is a song that should never be recorded by anyone else than Garland. It is sacrilege.

She's awesome compared to the wizard of Oz

No matter how many times I listen to Eva's rendition of this song, I am in awe of her stunning vocals and guitar work. Never fails to bring a tear to the eye. Absolutely perfect.

My classically trained piano teacher always said the most beautiful instrument is the natural human voice singing the most meaningful songs. And Eva Cassidy was a prime example.

God Bless you Eva, I pray that you are now joyous, happy and free over the rainbow. I was diagnosed with cancer on May 1st, 2023. This song takes on a deeper meaning for me now. Eva, maybe we will meet over the rainbow, I'll bring my guitar. ❤

The first time I heard this was around 2003 lying in my bed as I woke in the morning and the radio alarm clicked on at the exact moment the DJ put this track on.... I lay there in the still morning listening to the song totally mesmerised as I had never heard it or Eva Cassidy before. Then the DJ announced who it was and that Eva Cassidy had been lost to cancer. I think this is one of the most poignant moments of my life.... it just goes to show why we are here - to leave a mark, wow did she ever.

You should watch some of Judy Garland’s later live performances. There’s a deep melancholy that it’s impossible to not be moved to tears. In her case, her career had long been on the decline after her immense success, like an inverse of Eva who had her peak in popularity after she died. Eva sang of what could have been had she lived. Judy sang of what could have been if she’d made better choices during her life. Both were incredible talents with two very different, yet both beautiful, renditions of this song that is a signature song for both of them. Both are so heartbreaking to see them perform it..

But when you go to any of Eva's songs the comments are filled with young and old, different cultures, different nationalities, singing of their praise and adoration for this amazing woman. We are all filled with a serene sense of sadness thinking of her early loss. We have all been moved to tears by her powerful voice dancing over these lyrics. And we are all brought together by this one amazing thing that we have in common. I can't help but think that's the way she would've wanted it. I wish you all happiness and peace, and hope that you will continue spreading her love through this music. : )

She is absolutely amazing… so damn effortless!!!! Unbelievable guitarist, AND vocal control like I’ve never heard. Anyone who listens to this will be touched by it… Amazing..

What I like about Eva's phrasing of this song is that it begins slowly with a sense that 'over the rainbow' lyric is not really believed by the singer - however this evolves slowly to become an expression of soaring hope - which, when understanding Eva's short life makes this rendition believeable and so beautiful.

I remember when this was first discovered and her parents were on this morning show discussing how they found it. It remains one of my favourite songs ever recorded. RIP Eva❤

Breathtaking...

I am so grateful her boyfriend thought it wise to capture and preserve her gift for eternity. Eva Cassidy doesn't just sing, she embodies emotion in sound.

We are lucky some one recorder her. From what I've read, she didn't think she was that good. She only played because she wanted to. I believe she worked in landscaping.

@@theresaloos1485 Could be. I just assumed she at one time had a relationship with her long time male friend that recorded her. Of course, " it doesn't matter anymore". Quite a remake of the Paul Anka tune wouldn't you say? Buddy Holly sings it like it's about transient puppy love. Eva Cassidy's version sounds more like the death of a long marriage.

This woman had the voice of an angel. How beautiful...

I have requested her gorgeous rendition of this song to be a part of my funeral. I have just found her and have cried every time I hear her sing it. I grew up playing the French Horn and graduated with a degree in music. I was meant to her tonight. RIP Eva, and I thank you for helping me to feel so emotional about my own musical soul again.

This is one of the most note perfect performances ever, both guitar and vocals are perfect

It really shows her genius for varying dynamics. She goes from a full fortissimo to a whisper quiet pianissimo within one measure, on the last verse. I consider this her signature performance. Fields of Gold is beautiful, but this is a masterpiece of musical craftsmanship.

There must be something beyond all this. I can't believe this lady isn't singing somewhere else now.

It’s now 2023, I am a man of 35 and this makes me cry every time I hear it. I pray that she knows how much people still love her music. Rest In Peace Eva. [See the top comment.]

Well said , I'm a 51 Yr old male and whether it's Eva's or Israel ( from Hawaii) version and it starts playing and I'm in company I have to take myself off for a moment to the bathroom.or anywhere private and just let the tears flow. I can't control it and I've no idea why as its the only song except Nick Drakes "Riverman," that has such an emotional effect on me.

One day my kids will play this incredibly meaningful and powerful rendition at my funeral. The song has been been a lifelong favorite and seems most appropriate. Thank you Eva!

Eva comes from the Soul and delivers for the Soul 💚
