Loving Over the Rainbow

Published on February 15, 2003 in life stories. 8 Comments

As I said a bit ago, I ordered Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s Alone in IZ World and I love it.

I bought it for one song, but really love the entire album. IZ’s voice is beautiful as he sings his native language songs set to wonderful music.

Order It, if you think you’d like it.

    I’d never heard of this fellow before, but downloaded this song. My wife’s a Wizard of Oz fan, and generally critical of non-Judy Garland versions of the songs, but she’s sitting across the room humming right along. Ha!

    I heard IZ’s version of over the rainbow played on a yahoo chat session some years ago, but never knew who did it was and never heard it again till today as the ending song to the film “50 first dates”

    I was crying by the end of the film and even more so when the song was played.

    In the last few hours i’ve listened to some of the other tracks from his album via a friend who has it (via telephone) and would recommend it for the vocal skills at the very least!

    do they use the “uke” on the song because it is making me want to buy one. They use it as the background music to 2004 election campaign, it’s working.
