I researched this song today to add to some travel stuff I was writing. (It's on "my latest Squidoo" at the side there in case you care to follow that leap of context), and oh my goodness I love this version. It's a duet between someone living and someone no longer on earth - through the magic of what is apparently called digital mashup, a really unpleasant word for something that came out so beautiful. The version I have through iTunes is by Katherine McPhee, which I also love.
It's very feminine of me perhaps, but I love these songs that strike that strange balance between bitter and sweet. Life itself is a balance of the two. I don't know - maybe mashup is the perfect word after all.

Geez, Serenity why are you trying to make me smile and cry. ;) Israel's version makes me reminds me how temporary everything on this planet is. His song is soul-stirring is the best possible way.
I don't know who Jason Castro is, but Bruddah Iz'--oh, yeah! I have his album Facing Future. An amazing fellow, and one of Hawaii's most popular entertainers ever. Definitely a patron saint of all us uke players.
B-E-A-Utiful!!!!
