Mahalo nui loa, Aloha 'oe "Izz" Ku'u momi makamae Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole. I remember hearing Iz passed away in the hospital on the radio like it was yesterday, the state flags flew at half mass in Hawaii that day. People were setting doves loose, honking their horns, singing the state motto in the streets, the motto is Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono which means "the life of the land is perpetuated in holyness. I even joined in a few times that day to celebrate his life like he would have wanted even though I was sad. At night it was beautiful with all the boats with candles in them floating away in the channel towards the ocean, it was like 10,000+ people at his funeral and he was loved by many and made some amazing music in his short 38 years on this planet. I was as big as his leg but he was the friendliest person you have ever met and would always listen to you with his eyes, something many natives or Kahuna's can do. In 97" we lost a good brother Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole RIP my friend. His ashes were scattered into the great ocean on July 12th 1997 on Mukua Beach.

People are willing to die in the name of people they've never met out of duty, love of country, and love of their deity. You've never met your god, whichever one that is. You've met less than 1% of the nation you'd die for. But many are willing. Music can absolutely connect people, physically being together isn't all it takes.

IZ will never be forgotten. It is Nov. 23, 2021, listening to it with my 5 yr. Old grandson. I am introducing IZ to him, and he loves the song and is singing it. IZ lives. I discovered IZ and his music in 2007 got the chance to go to Hawaii a few years back. I felt like I had met him in real time just because I was in a place and saw people and the culture he truly loved. So, dear IZ, wherever you are, I say ALOHA! from the Philippines.

I listen to IZ with my 3 yrs old son. He already loves him and sings with me. (unfortunately I can't carry a note in a bucket.) We watch his 'somewhere over the rainbow' video together, and he recognizes him immediately as ' big guy who sings; , then we continue to his song together. He is not ready to understand concept of passing away, so at the end of video, so when he asked what they are doing, I had to say they are celebrating his birthday and his life. In a way, that is true... We all will be gone one day, not just our body. Truly, when there is no one else left to remember us, but I believe as long as someone lives, he'll be remembered, in a good way. I did my part, as of 2023, someone born 2020 knows this soul. Iz is still alive.

He is somewhere over the rainbow in a wonderful world:,)

Actually there is no such thing as angel or soul, just neuron composed brains that are data treatment machines. One part of these brains makes that ppl love junk food because it used to be rare in nature, which explains why he ate so much he died. Another part of this neural net creates ~random thoughts which allow you to learn things ,but sometimes it goes wrong and you end up with stupid thoughts just like "we have magic souls" or "every good soul have an angel". And if you ask why it does work like that and start again randomly thinking it's some god's shit, well, it's like that because it's the best way for something to survive with our world's physics. Im always open to discussion in order to learn more if anyone wants it

Woody 404 in my opinion it’s just stupid with racism, the fuck did someone’s else’s skin tone do to them. minorities should not be beat down just cuz they’re different. and yes, all lives matter, but also, if one house was on fire, wouldn’t that house matter more than the ones that are not on fire? just saying

To think such a lovely soul had to go through so much pain and trouble due to his health. Death was not a punishment on him but a gift, he has served the world more than any man can by sharing this beatiful voice with us, and so early death was gifted upon him to relieve his soul. Rest in peace

He seems like he would be a gentle teddy bear, love family and friends to the moon an back forever and be accepting of all who entered his life unconditionally.

What a beautiful voice.....it brings me comfort and tears to my eyes as IZ knew exactly the beauty of the world and sang it to perfection.

Right now, he's somewhere over the rainbow. Rest in peace "iz"

Gracias por compartir estás maravillosas canciones .. de verdad .. es único IZ ... No lo conocía lo juro . Pero cuando en la radio sonaban sus músicas el radio era solo para mí . De verdad. No tengo palabras para describir lo que ase sentir en el alma y en la mente está maravillosa canción . Te queremos IZ .. eres mi idolo

He had such a special voice. He's a person who reminds you what life is all about, enjoying, being good and genuine.

It is my personal belief that IZ perfected this song and somewhere over the rainbow to such a degree that you can’t possibly get anymore perfect than this there is making great song covers then there’s this absolute perfection IZ mastered the art of what I like to call perfecting music

This was a man who loved, thru and thru. Someone to admire. Didn't know ya IZ but I have no doubt you impacted the lives of those around you. Thanks for making the world a lil more wonderful.

You know that feeling when you look up to a celebrity and really want to meet them. It's sad the one I want to meet has already left this world. He had such a pure heart and a magical voice. 🌈

May this kind and gentle man rest in the arms of the Angels of our Creator. He spread kindness, love, and peaceful thoughts with his music. A truly gentle soul.

A dear soul who passed through our lives way too soon. I'm a believer and I believe Brother IZ is watching over us.

After a cancer diagnosis as a young mother, followed by the COVID pandemic, I was on a very rapid downward spiral that caught me by surprise. Seeing this for the first time in 2022 has made me feel the ‘chills’ and all over GOOSEBUMPS of inspiration and hope again, that I had been previously numb to. Sometimes it’s the little things that help bring you back to life! Find your little things! FIND your inspiration. NEVER give up hope. See the beauty LIFE has to offer… This is FOOD FOR THE PSYCHE! ❤
