      +Carsley Actually, while it is possible that he had a disease, low metabolism, etc., it is also possible that he was an over-eater. Fast food is an EXCELLENT way to become obese, and there are people in the world of fat porn and Sumo wrestling that eat all kinds of crazy stuff to gain weight.

    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.

      It's not his song, it's from the movie Alisa from the 1940s. But his version of the song has Hawain soul and feels very different. I really like it.

    • @Bagucron
      @Bagucron Před 8 lety +6

      +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.

      This comes from the heart/place they are fortunate to have been born in, this regardless of where they exist. Beautiful, but aware of the erosive waves of dollars/time flowing in. 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

    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.

    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

    Israel's take on this classic song is so beautiful! It leaves me speechless with tears in my eyes every single time. It never gets old. The upbeat tempo of this arrangement combined with the melancholic lyrics captures the bittersweetness of life. The human heart is both strong and fragile. A thousand years is not enough time to unravel this mystery, but IZ somehow captures it with his gentle voice. With word and pitch, he expresses the soul's sorrowful, but ever hopeful, longing for home, which is not, sadly, of this realm. But something deep inside us remembers, and we wait in joyful anticipation...

    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.

      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

    IZ was the best think that has ever happened to me. I grew up with this song and I still tear up when it plays. He recorded it in only one take. 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.

    i had to copy and share it, as I found it so interesting.
    In 1988, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole called the recording studio at 3 a.m. and said he had to record a song right away. 15 minutes later, Israel arrived at the studio. The studio owner, Milan Bertosa said, "And in walks the largest human being I had seen in my life." A security guard gave the 500-pound man a large steel chair to sit on. Milan said, "Then I put up some microphones, do a quick sound check, roll tape, and the first thing he does is 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow.' He played and sang, one take, and it was over."
    Today, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version, is the most requested one of this classic song.
