I was always confused by the Dawn part because there were two back-up singers. But they were great! Ahh, the Seventies.

My son received a beautiful ukulele last year for his birthday and he's been fiddling with it and recently started learning this song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow

I walked in our house from work and happened upon him playing portions of this song and singing along. I had always liked this piece but I never took the time to look up its origins. So I took the time last night and I fell in love with this gentle soul named "Iz" and his beautiful remake of Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

The following is a lengthy quote from the YouTube video which gave me information on this gentle soul, Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole.

I read up on IZ, and learned IZ called his producer and said there was a song he had to record. He showed up at the studio at midnight with his ukulele -- and, in 5 minutes, created "Over The Rainbow/Wonderful World."

In 1996, National Public Radio did a piece on IZ and played 'Over the Rainbow.' Listeners called in; sales shot up. And music insiders like Jimmy Buffett, Paul Simon and Bette Midler were no longer alone in their admiration for IZ.

The following year, when IZ died, it was clear that he was the Bob Marley of Hawaii. His casket lay in state at the Capitol, and 10,000 fans came to say goodbye. The next day, friends paddled a double-hulled voyaging canoe into Makua Bay, where IZ and his friends had camped out and played music over the years. It was in this bay, in l982, that IZ had scattered the ashes of his brother Skippy, who had died of a heart attack; now the brothers would be united.

There was thunderous cheering as IZ's ashes were poured into the water. It continued for an hour. To be with IZ one last time, family members and friends ran into the ocean. And the music continued into the night.

It still does.


P.S. I hope this song hasn't already been covered in this thread...I didn't look back into the threads.

OMG
you should have put a warning on that. IZ was fabulous and I was digging the song and when I realized what was happening I balled my eyes out.
It was very beautiful and moving....Thanks for sharing Love his voice.

Egb I read you message and still didn't realize the utube was going to show what you'd written. UGH! I'm very slow however....

Hi Pamznic. Although a sad outcome for Iz, didn't he leave a beautiful rendition of a classic for us? When my daughter graduated with her masters degree, this song was played as they filed out of the auditorium...my tears flowed freely...so bittersweet proud of my girl who grew up too quickly for this mom.

I was just sharing this site with a friend Thursday. I have to go and listen ever so often. Wasn't IZ magic! What a loss to the world when he died. I love the video of the celebration of the spreading of his ashes.

I first heard this at the end of 50 first dates (the Adam Sandler movie) and I fell in love. Thank you for sharing the you-tube. I love it. What a beautiful voice.

One of the best songs I have heard in a long time. I've actually heard it before, but I could never find the lyrics...till now...

Pink "Dear Mr. President"

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me (come take a walk with me)
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy (were you a lonely boy)
Are you a lonely boy (are you a lonely boy)
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind (we're not blind)
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye

Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you

Here's her myspace so you can hear the song...it's so great...

Pink is one of my favorite songwriters. She is a very talented woman.

This song just came on my launchcast:

We said goodbye in Marina del Rey
"I had a good time" was the last thing I heard her say
As I walked away
And on the plane back to Tennessee
My mind comes across her memory
And yesterday in Marina del Rey

On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away
In Marina del Rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our bodies lost in paradise
Like castaways in Marina del Rey

Like the ocean tides, highs and lows
Love sometimes comes and goes away
In Marina del Rey
And as this plane is touching down
Tears touch my eyes for I have found
My heart has stayed in Marina del Rey

On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away
In Marina del Rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our bodies lost in paradise
Like castaways in Marina del Rey

We said goodbye in Marina del Rey...

Thanks for the update. I haven't read the complete list, just got the numbers from watching the news conference. This weather is messing up my head. Not enough sun.

Yay for Justin Timberlake! I just love him. Meh, to the other two, but congrats all around.
I saw that Taylor Swift got a nod too.

Dan Fogelberg passed away today after a 3 year battle against prostate cancer.
I knew he had been sick, and was just mentioning to a friend last week that I hadn't heard anything about how he was doing in a long time.
I am very sad, and feel like I've lost a friend. Dan was a brilliant artist.
