Here is another of my all time favorite romantic songs . . . Eva Cassidy's version of "Fields of Gold". I mentioned this in another recent video, but the world lost this beautiful singer when she died WAYYY before her time at the age of 33 from cancer in 1996. (It's why I truly believe that you have to focus on each day of your life . . . you never know when your "personal time clock" will stop ticking.) The other sad thing is that Eva, during her life, was almost totally unknown outside her home area of Washington D.C. and became famous only after her death. The British newspaper "The Guardian" later went on to describe her as "one of the greatest voices of her generation." Her posthumously released recordings have since sold in excess of four million copies, and in early 2001 the compilation album Songbird reached #1 on the UK album charts. It's so sad she never lived to see the recognition she deserved . . . I hope you enjoy her music as much as I do!Here are the links to a wonderful three part series about Eva and her music that was on the American TV show "Nightline"; the series reconfirms the incredible impact her music had, and STILL has on the world:Part One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Three http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... photos for this video are ones I took in England on various trips and from when I used to live over there. The primary castle shown in the video is Arundel Castle, in Arundel, West Sussex, England . . . I love wandering around old castles in Europe and visualizing the dozens of generations of people who have lived & died in them . . . it's amazing to look at stone steps in the castles that have been worn down simply from the thousands of people who have used them over the centures . . . it's also always eerie to visualize the battles that were fought at the castles and contrast those battles with the peaceful tranquility around these castles today . . . The Arundel castle was "remodeled" and expanded around 1300AD, and the initial castle built around 1100AD . . . it's always interesting to me how castles were often times remodeled WELL before the United States was even in EXISTENCE! :)For more info on Arundel Castle (one of my favorite castles for wandering around :) ) please check out: http://www.arundelcastle.org/_... addition to the castle (which also has a restaurant), the grounds include a beautiful old chapel, and gardens, and the town of Arundel is the quintessential old English town, so yeah, I highly recommend this beautiful place if you ever get to this part of England :)and for castle history buffs, this website has lots of detailed info on the Arundel Castle: http://www.castles-abbeys.co.u...

we're doing a holocaust piece in drama, as our physical theatre. We're using this as our music, because i think it touches the right emotions we need, and the comments here have proved that.we want people to be thoughtful in memory and this song is great for that.. i love it

that really makes me think in which situtation I am..I'm sixteen years old and such statements like yours really make me think about my future, about love when I'm old.. thank you for bringing out feedback of your emotions, I appreciate it really!

I agree. I am old now and the doors of love are closed, but I will never ever forget the joy of young love, the beauty and passion of that woman and the feelings we shared together.

I'm actually in tears. Her rendition of this beautiful song takes my mind to a time 25 years ago when I was madly in love and courting a beautiful young English woman who would become my wife (for a while). I lived in a 17th century farm cottage, surrounded by hundreds of hay and barley in the area of England called East Anglia, about an hour or so north of London in Cambridgeshire. I've neve again been so in love.Oh to be young and in love like that again.

When Sting heard her recording of this song he told the Washington Post "I thought it was a beautiful rendition. I've rarely heard a voice of such purity. I was deeply sorry to learn of her death and somehow it gave the song another emotional level." I must agree.
