Iam Tongi - Over The Rainbow (Official Acoustic Video)

The soul of Israel Kamakawiwoʻole is sitting somewhere over the rainbow with Iam's dad just beaming.

I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah

He is absolutely the second coming of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Just perfect.

SING BROTHER!!! sing for our islands, sing for our people, sing for our freedom. Island whale conservationist here. born raised and now a career. these songs remind me why i still do it. our culture. our people. our reefs. its our HOME. and it lives in our music. 3 million views isn't for nothing my friend. and your other videos cracking half a mil or close. the heart is still there. and you've got it !

When I'm listening to anything on YouTube, I'm often just lounging around on my couch, while my 8-year-old daughter watches her own videos on her iPad. When I play one of your songs, she gets up, lies down next to me, and watches your videos with me. She is as captivated by your voice as I am. You capture the minds and hearts of all ages and for young kids with a short attention span, that isn't easy to do. I hope you never stop singing, because in a world filled with hate, fear, and rage, listening to you puts a certain ease in my mind and comforts my soul. Thank you for that. ❤

IZ is smiling down on you. You made him proud. I'm so happy you finally did an official video of this. Spectacular! Beautiful! You IZ worthy of doing this song.

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole would be proud of you!!! You made it sound like Iam Tongi instead of IZ. That’s the part he’ll be proud of. You made it your own. You’re representing him, your father Rodney and all the Hawaiians the proper way. Continue both of those beautiful souls legacy young man 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Dec 24th will be 2 months ago I lost my wife, the love of my life of 17yrs. We both absolutely love your voice. Every time I hear you sing it brings back all the great memories and hides the pain. Thankyou so very much for being an inspiration for so many to just keep going

Your voice is timeless. You’re daddy is proud of you.

Somewhere over the rainbow, high above the chimney top, Bruddah Izzy is grinning that infectious smile.

Israel Kamakawiwoʻole would be very proud . You made a perfect song even better. I hear him in your voice. Your father is smiling down at his amazing and talented son . You are a good son and he's very proud of the man you are

Iz would be proud. Iam clearly understands the story that is being told. Amazing!

One of the great voices singing one of the great songs. Stay healthy kid. We need you to be around for a long, long time.

It hit different in these times we living in💙🙏🏽

Legit. My dad passed from COVID and I listened to "Monsters" on repeat to get me through. But I listened to IZ singing this on repeat as I sat on his bed and holding his hand. With all the appreciation I possess, thank you. RIP to them both and all who have left loved ones behind. We will see them again, this side or the other.

As someone who is preparing to lose his father... Your passion and soul give me relief. Keep going man
