  Her guitar is subtle. Her phrasing is subtle. Her choices of chord changes are subtle. It makes this performance beyond beautiful.

  Thank you for showcasing Eva Cassidy, one of the best vocalists ever! She and Karen Carpenter left us way too soon... 😢. &nbsp;☮️❤️😎

  Terry Wogan brought Eva Cassidy into popularity after she died by playing her CD on the radio. The whole CD is hauntingly beautiful and one of my favourites.

  Its the tenderness, longing and vulnerability all at the same time that makes this and her exceptional.

  I heard Eva for the first time in a record shop in Martha’s Vineyard playing through the speakers in the store. &nbsp;I asked the shop owner who was singing and she said Eva Cassidy. &nbsp;It was the most beautiful voice I ever heard and bought a CD on the spot! &nbsp;RIP beautiful girl.

  Gordon Sumner (Sting for those that don&apos;t know) publicly said in an interview that she performed Fields of gold better than he ever did ... That is how good she is/was. Thankfully through the web her soul and music will live forever. I saw her live at The Blues Alley and I left happy but emotional... The world really lost a true magnificent singer when she passed away. ❤

  Eva didn&apos;t just sing the song. She was the song! It embodied her heart and her soul, And she emoted in a way I&apos;ve never seen. A master storyteller. Not to mention a phenomenal guitarist. The tone of this arrangement and the fact that she passed within a year of the performance is haunting in a strange way. The way her eyes seem to look up and off into the distance is just as haunting. She was a legend even in her short time and more people need to know about her. Who knows what she would have been if she were still alive. RIP Eva Cassidy.

  I was driving with my mom the first time I heard this, in fact the first time I ever heard of Eva Cassidy. &nbsp;We thought this was the most beautiful version of this song that I actually cried a bit. &nbsp;It was so special to hear this with my mom, and we had such a nice moment that I had this played at the end of my mom&apos;s funeral. &nbsp;It was so special.
