Israel Kamakawiwo'ole: Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World

[pegkerr]

I was driving to work today, and just as I pulled into the parking ramp, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" came on, and so I had to sit in the car and listen to the whole thing, even though it made me late to work. Read the story about the song here. Such a powerfully stripped down, poignant, sad setting of a familiar song. Listen to the song with Windows Media Player here or Real Audio here, and get the album here. Chording is here.

Tell me about a song that grabs your heart and gets under your skin.
