Take a Five Minute Break – Israel Kamakawiwo’ole

by Steve on April 9, 2008 · 5 comments

I've been reading eBay and Amazon discussion boards and articles today. It's the same negative talk, complaining, struggling to make ends meet - all as usual.

Then I thought of last night's American Idol. Jason Castro sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". He sang the version made popular by the late Hawaiian singer, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (known as "IZ" by his fans. I found Israel's version on YouTube and it just made me feel so relaxed to listen to it and watch it. I thought I'd share it with you - take a few minutes and just enjoy it.

I hope you feel better.

Good thing he wasn’t a little pitchy : )

That was ultra mellow and smooth
