Over The Rainbow (4:59)
261,821 plays (78,520 listeners)
Eva Cassidy recorded this version of Over the Rainbow with only acoustic guitar and drums. It is perhaps the most chilling rendition of the song that has ever been done and this recording was done live and far exceeds the studio version she did with full orchestration.
It is impossible to know if she knew her physical condition when she recorded this, but one would have to think that this rendition has an almost spiritual quality to it, otherwise, it would not be so chilling in its presentation and sensitivity. It will both haunt you and chill you to the bone with its beauty and bring you to tears when you know the story of the songbird who is singing it.
