Instead of the normal wedding music, we played Iz's Over The Rainbow as my wife walked down the aisle. Was perfect for us.

Hawai'i '78. Love his music, and his general peacefulness.

I have listened to his 'Somewhere Iver the rainbow' so many times.

He's gone now, somewhere over the rainbow

I was just listening to him on Spotify. Looks like I have my Summer jam.

Amazing man and artist.

So confused at what dates you have up there.
Ansatsunin
..? He passed away the 26th of June, 1997. That is 20 years ago. Today is the 26th of June 2017.
ThatSoundGuyYouKnow
Today is the 25th, not the 26th

ThatSoundGuyYouKnow
Yes but when this was posted it was literally impossible for it to have been the 26th in any time zone
Ansatsunin
... Wow.

Fun fact- my uncle was involved in his cremation...
BabyMammaLlamaDrama
Never asked him specifics about it
thefatlonelyjew
How many crematoriums did they use
Arcian
That feel when you know a joke is funny but you don't laugh because it's so sad.
SqueakShow
I bet that was not fun. I also bet they needed extra fuel for the furnace that day.
PedroBenecol
Or not.
smush1337
I'm surprised the crematorium could handle that corpse.
deliriousstormdrain
Such a "fun fact"

On God I love his music.

20 fucking year ago? Fuuuuck me please say you got the numbers wrong... please. Hardly 20 years. I AM OLD T_T

You're a pup. I'm 60 and feel like I only just passed "adult" and moved into "mature". "Old" is still quite a ways off for me.
Theamazingpop
Yes!!

The dude had the voice of an absolute angel.
AreYouFuckinSorryIsAStupidComment
Can't believe he didn't hear that train coming. RIP
LadyWidebottom
His rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow is the only one I like.
mountainofpuppies
That was his song. IIRC the studio owner has an account of when this random bloke begged to record at like 2am.. And then blew his mind.
AstuteObservationsOfAnADDKid
The studio owner knew Iz and it was the SOTR/what a wonderful world mashup that was done at like 2am
TheRowsdowermobile
Fair enough. But if you're open to suggestion I'd like to recommend Aloha Ki Manini. I have no idea what it's about but it's a lovely tune.
thelonehamster
Aloha Ka Manini actually
thedogemperorofmankind
I think they meant his version of SOTR is the only version of SOTR they like, rather than that being the only song of his they enjoy
LadyWidebottom
Correct.
TheRowsdowermobile
Oh, hell. Sorry then, disregard. :P

Those dates make absolutely no sense

Thank you. 6/26/17 hasn't even happened yet.
JudgeNotByTheColorOfOnesSkinButByTheContentsOfOnesDumps
Dude died on his birthday. That's an extra stab in the heart
scootermcgruter
That is not what those dates are showing
Ansatsunin
..? He passed away the 26th of June, 1997. That is 20 years ago. Today is the 26th of June 2017.
scootermcgruter
why break down that time span? stating the date of his passing is enough. We know the date. Displaying date like that is for birth to death
Ansatsunin
There is no standard for it, and it was entirely clear to me. A bit odd to describe the timespan since his death, sure, but nothing unclear.
scootermcgruter
What do you mean there's no standard? Check any obit on the planet. And given someone's confusion just below about his dying on his bday...
Ansatsunin
.. There is no one universal standard in describing dates. There are several popular standards, not one general one.
Mgiggity
Perhaps the oddest use of dates since we went from 1 BC to 1 AD

Played that song at my mommas funeral service. I cry like a baby everytime I hear it.
PrincesssButtercup
Bf told me that his dad sang this to his mom while she was on her deathbed. He still skips it every time it comes on so he doesn't cry
Bi6Simpin
That's a strong rainbow

Course it is, it has to hide a whole lullaby land

That's one of the only songs I really like. I wish I could here it. It would be nice to here that song.

MrLenin
Man. I wish he had been thinner and healthier so we could maybe still have the guy.
Arcian
It was not for a lack of trying. His family was plagued by bad genetics.
MrLenin
Mm. Fair enough, man. Some people just really get the shit end of the poopstick, you know?
Arcian
I agree, Comrade Lenin. For some, life is a gulag.

Wait, where are you that it's the 26th? Cause it's only the 25th by my calendar.
Burnin8or
It's the 26th in New Zealand as of an hour and a half ago. But I think Samoa is an hour ahead of us? Maybe? I could probs google it? Bidrgaf
NonConformistFlamingo
I know some countries are a few days ahead of the U.S, though.
SqueakShow
Countries can only be 24 hours ahead of another :)
NonConformistFlamingo
Fuck... I meant to only write "a day," I have no idea why my brain disconnected and made me write "a FEW days"... I blame exhaustion. -_-
SqueakShow
All good, hope you get some sleep!
NonConformistFlamingo
I will once I'm on my days off from work, thankfully!
GdSvThQn
Are these countries on a different planet, because that's not how time zones work.
ReduntantOffender
"Days"? Like- plural? Quick- what are Monday's lottery numbers?!?
ILikedTheirOldStuffBetter
Yeah I believe it's already July in New Zealand.
