I’m 85 years old and I’ve just lost my Husband of 65 years,I played this at his funeral last week everyone was so moved by this beautiful song it was so poignant and unforgettable. God bless you Eva
I come from Poland. I discovered her for myself 30 years ago and fell in love with her voice and interpretations. Eva died when I was 30 years old. I am a strong and tough man, but when I listen to her tears as big as peas run down my cheeks. God himself desired her wonderful voice and took her to himself. I believe I will meet and get to know her one day, on the other side of the mirror. Eva... you are GREAT!
With you there fella! Just found out this moment from the first comment that she had passed away. I have been listening to her music for about 6 months and didn't know! Feeling very sad, but she has left some beautiful recordings.
this was played at my wifes funeral we first got together when she was 14 and i was 16 46 years later she died of cancer in 2014 and i miss her every miute of every day xxx
I'm crying tears for u. How lucky are you to find your soul mate. And all the love and precious moments you have shared together. Some people can search a life time for what you both shared together. True love never dies. Please take care and look after yourself x
I was 16 and my husband was 14.5 when we became an item. He wouldn’t let me drive us on a date, (it wasn’t my driving, it was his manliness), so it was bicycles till he got his license. I’ve let him know to play this song at my wake and he wants Stings version at his. Hopefully that will be years from now, but you never know.
Sitting here at 5am, thinking about my Mum I lost 2 years ago and then my 8 year old Daughter last year. Life can be so incredibly cruel and sometimes you feel like you're going to die from the pain and grief inside, but beautiful songs like this somehow connect me to my loved ones. Eva truly was an angel on earth. Amazing talent 💜
Sad to read this Alaina, you are right , life can be so cruel. This song was played at our friends funeral last week, he and his son both died in a car accident, he had told his wife that this song was played at his moms funeral and he wanted it for his only didn't think it would come this soon, beautiful piece of music, take care and stay strong
First of all, I'm so sorry and saddened for your tragic losses, everyone expects to lose their parents and or spouse, but not their children at such a tender age. Songs can conjure up emotions, both sad and happy ones. Eva's songs always make me sad, it doesn't matter which one she sang.
I had this played for my beautiful husbands funeral. we lived in the countryside and he loved strolling along the country lanes. it depicts our love and boy did i love him. taken way to early and along with him he took a big piece of my heart. I now live among fields of gold with memories of the most amazing husband and fantastic dad. I will love him for eternity until we meet again among those fields of gold. My precious darling xx
As my dog Ziggy, my first and most beautiful boy, passed away, I played this song and just couldn’t stop thinking of him running in a field and chasing after the sun. I will miss him forever and may his and others’ memories be a blessing
Nothing and Nobody is gone when their memory warms your heart, I suppose that loving means losing but only in the short term. Be good Greg. Warmest Wishes from Sunny South Australia M8.
I am listening to this in memory of Pete Fouche, a brave medic who was tragically killed in action last Thursday. Truly, the best of humankind. He selflessly saved many lives on the frontline in Ukraine serving the 67th Brigade. He also founded Project Konstantin to raise funds for medical support. Save a life, live a hero. Save heroes lives, memory lives forever. RIP Pete 💙💛
I weep when I hear this for a world I wish had stopped progressing in time in the 70's. Such a happy time. Those fields of barley glistened in the sun.
Sting also said he was blown away the first time he heard Eva's interpretation of the song because that was how he himself first heard it in his head before he wrote it... and try as he might, he could not reproduce it himself. I love Sting's version... BUT Eva owns this song!
My husband, William Feuer, was a musician and adored this woman's voice, frequently listening to this song and others... he died last August after a month in the ICU. I brought his guitar to him in hospital before he died and he played part of this song. ❤🩹it.
There are some singers that are so gifted that they do not need extra vibrato, electronics, background singers etc. She was an extremely talented woman and left her gift to us. Thank you Eva Cassidy for sharing your gift.
Sting sings this also. Eva's version is so moving. This song stands the test of time. Eva you left us too soon. Love that I can still listen to your voice.
I lost my wife last year. This song always makes me cry and brings back the many happy times we had in 46 years of marriage. She walks in fields of gold…I miss you hon…
I had this played at my daughter's funeral, the saddest day ever for me and my partner, her daddy carried her small white coffin into the church, it's been 6 years xx😭
So Sorry for the loss of your little girl ! Unfortunately we never really heal from a heartbreak like yours ! We will heal but our hearts will never be the same again ! The pain will fade but some nights the memories will keep us awake ! Take Care Sarah ❤ 😢
Im a vietnam war veteran, I have seen horrors noboby can comprehend or understand on a human level. That woman is absolutely amazing and brings me to tears everytime i hear her voice !!
us warcrimes!!! sorry, but you cannot take away responsibility for such a slaughtering in the cruelest possible way by saying "followed orders" or something. many, many poor people die for us fascist criminal wargaming serving a very few. dont participate! i d never do that, never!!!
Came to listen to this beautiful song bc of a veteran pt of mine today. We got the talking about music and this song came up in his words. He told me he was going to play this at his funeral (whenever that may be) he has been through a lot. Out of respect for him and keeping my word to him that I would listen later (which is now) and the love of music we both share, here I am listening to this beautiful song. As I listen, with tears in my eyes, I can’t help but think of all the good hearted people out there, doing the best they can, all the kind people who go through so much yet always try to make others happy and of course to all of the veterans who served this country. Much love and respect to them and those who are currently serving! May God bless all who end up reading this…you matter, I love you and I hope you have a wonderful life. God is good❤️🇺🇸🫶🏼
To those who hear and are drawn to the beauty of Eva Cassidy's "Siren" song, let this, the only poem I've ever written, be a warning as to the power of her music's seduction. It references Homer's Odysseus having to adopt defensive techniques to sail around the deadly but enchantingly beautiful song of the Sirens: Title: "Séduit par le Premier son d'Eva" "Seduced by the First Sound of Eva" As Odysseus heeded Circe's warning of euphoric demise, so should you also abide. Have yourself tethered to your ship's mast, or you may suffer a similar fate such as mine. Yes, it’s too late for me, for I've heard the enchantment of her Siren sound, and I've sailed too close to her perfection. I've seen her beauty, her golden hair, and I've seen my ship collide amongst the sea-sharpened peaks of her divine inflections. And like iron to a magnet, I've plunged myself into the surrounding waves, and I've swum to her island's shore. Yet, though I die in the meadow of her sweet song, ecstasy abounds o're and o're.
I grabbed onto this song for comfort after my mom died of a brain aneurysm when she was just 45-years-old. Well now 14 years later I've stumbled back onto it and the feelings feel like I'm back in those moments of loss. Funny how music encapsulates so much. Last year I got to meet the wonderful woman who received my moms heart and was able to listen to my moms heart beating inside her with a stethoscope. It's not closure, but it's close. Please be an organ donor.
Hey. The world is better with you in it. I’m going through a really difficult time too. Hope this reaches you and you know that people love you. I lost my Dad and came here to remember him on his birthday today. Also extending that love to you and hope it helps in some small way xx
Even Sting was moved by Cassidy's performance of his ballad "Fields of Gold", a "pure and beautiful" performance, better than his own, according to Sting. "There is something about her voice - a quality - that you really can't put into words. It's a magical quality."
I was lucky enough to meet the venerable gentleman in Ireland in 1980 when I was 15......a friend and I were in a laneway at the back of a big department store and were fitting our bicycles with water bottles and cages that we'd just bought. He had walked up to my friend Paul and was asking advice about a cycling trip he'd planned, what was the best type of bicycle, should he rent or buy, this was happening behind me as I was busy with a spanner, I only heard his broad Northern English accent when finished I turned around......I was GOB SMACKED as "The Police" were probably the biggest band in the World at that time. We got his autograph and directed him to Hollingsworth Cycles in Templeogue to get a 10 geared Raleigh tourer.
This will be my Sisters final song at her funeral 16/12/2019 , I chose it and it meens the world to me, R.I.P. Colleen Elizabeth Doherty aged just 51 ,god has gained another angel xxx
18 years ago this was my brother's funeral song. In nine days' time it will become my mother's as well. The words may be Sting's but the soul of the song is Eva's.
I am reading through the comments and just...crying...thanks, all for sharing parts of your stories. Although they are said, I hope posting here gives a bit of closure, allows loved ones to live on through memories, and permits us to share some of the burden of loss with you
Played fields of gold at my husband’s cremation on the 21st October 2021 for everyone to think of the good times we all had when he was with us. What a lovely song. Thank you Eva xxx
I'm so sorry, my hubby passed suddenly on 20th october 2021, I still haven't seen him because of covid rules and wasn't with him when he passed. We had only spent 1 night apart in 17 years I miss him so much, take care ,hugs from my heart to you xxx💗
Sting,who wrote and recorded this song said Eva’s version was the best he had ever heard,including his own....good enough for me!!! Stunning performance,simply the best!
I agree that Eva's version is absolutely beautiful and really tugs at the heart string! I love Sting's version, but Eva's gets me every time. I want this song played over and over at my funeral!
It's OK for us grown ass men to cry. I'm not apologetic anymore. I'd rather be moved by grace and beauty, as well as deep loss, than not express any emotion except for some damn football or baseball or basketball team's loss or win.
My uncle passed recently.. he was an absolute gentleman. Said i was not going to shed tears at his service but they played this as we carried his coffin in.. I cracked within 10 seconds.. beautiful song for a beautiful man.. rip uncle colin.. forever missed x
I'm 31 at the moment. Over the years I've listened to so many songs, from different genre and era. The 80s, 90s, and even Jazz. If there is one song I keep coming back to, it's this track, sung by Ms Cassidy. I know this in my heart of all hearts, that if I live to be old and all wrinkled, I'd still listen to 'Fields of Gold' by Eva. Everyone has their one song. This is mine.
The sad thing is that when Eva Cassidy was alive no one noticed her amazing singing talent. She would sing in basements to a small crowd. After her death people realized that she had such an amazing voice.Simply an angel gone too soon.
Perhaps a good reason to listen to this girl...we're all gone one day!! WHY? by Jasmine Lamport....."stunning vox" 3 songs released yesterday...keep your eye on them!!!....she is worth the listen. BREATHE and STRONG might just be classics one fine day.
SONIC FOXX(home of original SONGS..no videos required!!) BEAUTIFUL CARISMATIC VOICE SHE WAS AN ANGEL SHE SOFTEN THE HEARTS OF MANY INCLUDING MINE. THKU EVA
Jessica Borek An Angel gone too soon, yes...but not quite accurate that her amazing singing talent wasn't noticed. See Mick Fleetwood talking about Eva Cassidy.
I first heard her magnificent voice when this song came on the radio at a B&B in southern Spain in 2002. It mesmerized me. I asked the hostess who it was. She looked at me incredulously. “You’ve never heard of Eva Cassidy?” she replied. “This song is a hit on every radio station in Europe.” Back home in the U.S., no one had heard of her yet, least of all the radio programmers. I still have never heard it on the radio here.
she was very popular in Washington DC music circles, since she worked with Chuck Brown. so many years later, what a tragic loss... at least she left us with these beautiful works... this song especially just takes me to another place....
My favorite artist for thirty years. Fields of Gold is so beautifully sung with that angelic voice that tears just roll down. I lost my wife to leukemia 2 1/2 years ago. Whenever I played Fields of Gold in the car she said it made her too sad. She didn't care for sad. When I listen to it I recall a memory of when we were walking through an apple orchard during the "golden hour" and our three daughters were playing and gathering apples. It was fall and the lighting was magical. It is a moment forever locked in my memory and Eva always brings it into sharp focus. An artist lost too soon.
I try to but I'm broken now and I can't make it to you as you walk on I stumbled before the fields of gold and I will not make it to much longer I am but a ghost now forever left behind by so many I loved I failed myself and all who needed me im sorry for what I'm going to do. Goodbye
I discovered Eva Cassidy today, August 21, 2020, with this RU-vid recording of "Fields of Gold". I have tears in my eyes as I'm typing this. Her voice is so beautiful.
I remember that experience. I discovered her almost 20 years ago when someone in a chat room (remember those?) mentioned her. I looked her up on Napster and was blown away and puzzled how someone with such a remarkable talent could go virtually undetected.
wow, welcome. i had that experience in 2003! Her voice is one of few that can make me cry. I am learning guitar for many of her covers including this one. Not easy to play and especially play and sing the way she does.
I've been an entertainer for 50 plus years and have known many good female vocalists but Eve Cassidy's voice is almost hypnotic. Smooth with feeling and unbelievable quality.
On a gloomy night in September last year, I left my father in the hospital ICU (he was in a coma) and went to a friend's place to have a drink. Tired. Distraught. Damn i needed that drink. Then my friend played this beautiful version sung by Eva's angelic voice. My father passed away a couple of hours later. Every time I hear this rendition, I feel my father's presence with me. A good man. An honest man who had to battle through his life but achieved much. He is at peace now. The peace he richly deserves
hey man, you did your best and your father noticed that too for sure. Your father is now safely in god's memory and rests. But do you know god gives us the promise that we will see our relatives and friends we have lost again here on earth. God is promising this to you in the bible through Jesus the son of god when he said in John 5:28,29 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear gods voice and will come out. The bible gives so much exact information about, what god plans to do on earth, namely a paradise, and how this will affect people, so that we all will get the possibility to see our loved ones again. The bible reports on how peacefully and happily people will live together on earth in the future, where there will be no more illnesses or death. Isaiah 65:20 ...no more will there be an infant from that place who lives but a few days, nor an old man who fails to live out his days. Isaiah 65:21 ... they will build houses and live in them, and they willl plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. I send you an very hopegiving article with the theme ,,good news from god" and I'm sure that this article will build you up, because you can be sure, the future does look better than most of the people expect, because god loves us and he has a wonderful future for us in prospect. www.jw.org/en/library/books/good-news-from-god/what-hope-for-the-dead/ I wish you all the best for your future stay healthy and I send you my best regards Michel
I heard this song for the first time this morning as I was about to turn off my truck and go in to work. It hit me like a hammer. Four days ago my wife of forty four years told me she has breast cancer. She saved my life twice, healing my PTSD after two tours in Viet Nam while serving in the Marine Corps, and about twenty years ago when she didn't think the care I was receiving was correct and she raised hell about it. Sad to learn Eva Cassidy passed a way. I don't know what will happen with us. All you can do is keep moving forward.
Blessings befall us in many ways. This beautiful voice gave you and your wife a promise. With faith and courage we go on, with love we heal our hearts and bodies. All the best to you both.
God bless you John and your mrs. Have faith that will get yous through hard times. Your a good man John i can tell right away. Look into thc capsules x
You support her with every fiber of your being and you both fight that beast like crazy. I’ll be lifting you both up in prayer. I’ve been fighting cancer two years now. It will never win.
My sister adored this lady, my sister died two weeks ago....... I only ever knew Stings version but as a tribute to my sister and to this beautiful singer...... RIP and we are with you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The comments here are some of the best RU-vid has to offer. Beautiful, heartbreaking, hopeful and unbelievably tragic. This song, and Eva Cassidy in general, is so many things to so many people. Keep sharing your stories. They remind us all of of what it is to be human. ❤️ Thank you all
...and your prize for this true and amazing comment....google Jasmine Lamport and either of her only three songs...BREATHE, WHY? or STRONG....................take your pick. Anybody who gets Eva will get Jasmine.
It's never to late to discover a great artist. Like Van Gogh who never sold a painting while he was alive. I have just discovered Eva Cassidy. As tears are running down my cheeks I write this comment and I have discovered my musical Van Gogh. What a voice and guitar playing! What a loss. God Bless Eva!
I first heard this on a trip to the US . I walked into a record shop in Atlanta and it was playing . I had never heard of Eva Cassidy but was immediately drawn to her music so I bought 2 of her CDs . I still play them often
Her father taught her how to play the guitar. What a great music teacher and terrific student. She has such a calming effect on everyone that listens to her.
....I agree with you,I've discovered Eva Cassidy at this moment...how lovely👍😃...I also like the song "Time after Time"(by Cindy Lauper)a lot,Eva interprets it just as good as this one here,Sting would be happy too.... nice greetings !!
My little puddy cat loved this cat, when she heard it shed curl right up to me, she became very poorly last year and I played this to her, also we sung it to her when we had her put to sleep, my beautiful Iris❤🌈🐾
My dad passed away in 2017 this is one if his funeral songs having a listen to it as its his birthday tomorrow walk in fields of gold dad i love you ❤️
My granny passed away last October and this was her funeral song. A day doesn’t go by where I don’t miss her. I love her like there’s no tomorrow. She walked always in fields of gold💚xx
We just passed into 2022. The hard stuff is still with me, from losing Mom last year to cancer and how hard I had to work alone at my job, when they laid off everybody, to how hard they made my Mom's treatments and consultations to get and the fact that this wonderfully social woman lived cut off from most everything during her last days. I also think of my hubby who does beyond his best to help me. We pass fields of gold going to and from home every day.
I'm sorry to read that you lost your Mother. You can be sure, she is now safe in God's memory. But I would like to give you hope through Gods word that was written down in the bible. Do you know, God promises in the bible lovingly a time, when you will be able to see your Mother again here on earth. For example in Revelations 21:3-5 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God said:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. He means that there will be a time on earth when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome them to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune! Actually God is telling you... "have faith in me, I'll make everything up to you, believe in me, I take care because I love you." If you are interested, I can recommend you an very motivating and hopegiving interactive textbook with the theme: Enjoy Life forever/Your loved ones can live again" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/ This book is based on the bible and is about what God will do in the very near future, and how it can give you hope now and for the future. Even if many don't think about God or don't believe in him, God believes in us and offers us humans to be his friends, and in return he will give us peace, joy and security in a coming beautiful world in the near future. I honestly wish you all the strength and the best for your future and send you my best greetings Michel
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I like the original by Sting, but Eva's voice and the way she changes the rhythm elevates it to the next level. Amazing
Dan and Elliot posted 3 versions of this song, including Sting's, and this one raised the hairs on my arms with her first notes sung. There is something ethereal about her voice.
Awww, so sorry about your loss Nancy. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
At least 20 years ago a dear friend that I worked with gifted me the songbird CD. He said you have to listen this and gave me a brief accounting of Eva's story. I remember popping it into the player that evening, and Fields of Gold started playing. I found myself involuntarily sitting down absolutely mesmerized by this voice singing to me from beyond the grave. I didn't even realize it was a Sting song. I despise Sting I find his voice unlistenable. Yet here was his song being sung by this angel. I was mourning someone I had never meant until a few hours before had never even heard of. The irony is that my friend who gifted me the CD was also taken by the black plague of cancer. This is a beautiful album It brought me back 20 years. I no longer just mourn Eva, but I think of my late friend as well. What a special gift they left me.
@@philiphunter8960 listening here tonight in Australia...what an angel...what a voice...x I feel so bad she never got the acclaim she deserved while she was alive. I hope she knows.. wherever she is.. that I love her dearly and can only wish to sing like her...xxx RIP Eva...💕
Just lost the father of my unborn little girl a few months ago and this is the first song she’s reacted to this strongly to. I have never felt her move so much reacting to something as I did just now.
A friend helped me discover Eva some years ago. Too late, she was already gone. And I never stopped listening to her songs. This one particularly brings sorrow to my heart. Some people just help others... She was one of them.
The first note starts and tears upon tears run down my shaken face. No other piece of music has ever moved me like this. Eva's voice reaches a point in me that I didn't even know existed.
I only JUST discovered this artist today, this morning, and I'm wreathed in tears, listening to her music. I'm 58. How have I lived this long and never heard of her?
She didn't crave fame nor seek it out. Most of her music only become more wildly heard after her death. But what a joy to discover her music for the first time!
it has been like 2 years, i am never tired of listening to her songs.so graceful voice that you get lost in it :) . its a shame we lost her very early.
probably because she only became known after she died....and mostly because she was 'discovered' in the UK before here. She could have had a recording career earlier, but she turned it down to be in control of her music.
I’m marking the 1 year passing of my 91 year old mother. This songs strongly puts in my mind the firm belief I have that there is eternal life after a mortal death. I know my mom is walking in a heavenly field of gold with my dear dad. They were separated by death over 30 years. Today I’m going to concentrate on how happy they are to be reunited forever. She was kind. A hard worker. Very compassionate. So fun and funny. She loved her family with everything she had, especially through the hard times. I am blessed to be her daughter. She is my Mother forever. I was/am well loved ❤️💔😭✨
No, it was written by Sting for himself. "In England, our house is surrounded by barley fields, and in the summer it's fascinating to watch the wind moving over the shimmering surface, like waves on an ocean of gold. There's something inherently sexy about the sight, something primal, as if the wind were making love to the barley. Lovers have made promises here, I'm sure, their bonds strengthened by the comforting cycle of the seasons". She does a lovely version, but it was Sting's song and I very much doubt he had heard of her when he did it.
A road trip in gentle misty rain, the hypnotic to and fro swish of the windshield wipers, tyres hissing on wet tarmac, so warm and snug in the car and this beautiful song came on the radio, when finished the announcer said ''The incomparable Eva Cassidy''. So true.
I heard this for the first time 8 years ago, weeks before my husband was killed. Afterwards I couldn’t listen; I knew I would break down at a time I was trying so hard to reserve my strength. Playing it today, watching our children clean the dinner dishes I realize how far we’ve all come. Different house, different city, but we are still going forward. It’s still surreal sometimes realizing he’s gone. Sometimes it’s just normal. But it’s always tragic. I’m happy I’m in a place where I can hear this beautiful song again. To all of you who have lost and know that there’s no such thing as closure when a loved one dies, I wish you strength and peace.
Currently taking a class at Drake University called Grief and Loss. Learning about the silent super heroes of our present...those left behind, who have to continue on living without their loved one. Continued blessings, Lisa
Lost the man of my life, the soul of my soul, 7 weeks ago, I come here to cry when it all gets too much. Feel as though I am stuck in a nightmarish time loop that repeats itself. I am happy to see there is life at some point. Thank you for posting that, it gives some 'hope'
Lost my husband 1 and half years ago, he was 46. This song reminds me of our courting days, I am broken but music and God are healing me one moment at a time, thankful for my memories
Best love and blessings to you, in your grief. You will see him again, but the waiting is hard to bear. I am an older woman, have lost many. In one instance, I had my dear FIL for only 11 years. He was a talented handyman/artisan. Whenever I ventured into a home improvement/minor building project, I would "talk to Dad",in my head, ask for some blessings/ help, since I had never done a project before. He would have been so proud of his dainty DIL, doing plumbing work, laying floor covering, using scary power tools, all for the first time, and successfully!
Awww, so sorry about your loss Sue. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
Thank you Dustin Thao and your book "Vous êtes sur le portable de Sam" which brought me here... I was empty for a long time... I'm now walking in this fields of gold too... one Day my depression will only be a bad souvenir... Thanks Miss Cassidy and Mr Sting...🙏
I play this song ...her song ..when I am feeling so low. It is almost two years since God took my man of 47 years. I so loved him, and I still do . Some nights, I feel his body lying next to me in bed. As he says to me, "Good night, babe," 10- 13- 2021 RIP MY LOVE
@@patriciawagstaff6302 awww, so sorry about your loss Patricia. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
I’m in the autumn of my years. The first time I heard this song I thought, “I want this played at my funeral”. Reading the posts here it seems a common reaction. This song speaks to the search for meaning in the ephemeral condition of human life. It seems there is beauty and poignancy in life’s very transience... remembering the moments when we walked in fields of gold. How important it is for us to remember those golden moments... and Eva Cassidy brings to life this notion like no other.
Hi Heath, I am nearly 80, time goes quickly now, got your msg, thanks, my wife passed 4 years ago. We has 50 years of wed, the last 10 were dreadful due to bad blood disease, we never walked in fields of gold, now of course I wish we had. The song brings years automatically which may actually be helpful. I bought the CD (Songbird) From Amazon and found it by accident really I'm glad I did!
Oh yes, 70's 80's and 90's is the music for me. Twice a week I have an ounce of Grand Marnier and a coffee and listen to the great female singers (Eva, Sissel, Sinead) sing the old and golden songs. Also Dan Hill and Kris Kristopherson. These songs bring me peace and contentment and are where my music will always be.
On rare occasions, we are given a quick glimpse of true beauty. During those brief moments, we look or listen in awe and sadness. For these hallowed souls are with us for a short time..too perfect for us to keep
