This is a cover of the song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", the version by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole, one of the greatest hawaian musician that ever lived.

Over the Rainbow Israel Kamakawiwoʻole Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high And the dreams that you dream of, once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true 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. Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly And the dream that you dare to Why, oh why can't I? I see trees of green, red roses too I watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself, what a wonderful world Well I see skies of blue, and I see clouds of white The brightness of day, I like the dark And I think to myself, what a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' 'How do you do?' They're really say I, I love you I hear babies cryin', and I watch them grow They'll learn much more than we'll know And I think to myself, what a wonderful world 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. Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high And the dream that you dare to Why, oh why can't I?

A very beautiful recording Ed. Your vocal on this is just so sweet. That soft reggae/tropical vibe works so well. The simplicity of vocals and guitar is sublime.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to it I hope you enjoyed, thinking of which was dsound loading ok?
