Fields Of Gold cover by Eva Cassidy.
I discovered that due to technical video problems in her first set at Blues Alley in Washington DC USA,There is not a video in existance of Eva performing her version of Fields Of Gold. Eva is no longer with us now. Therefore, I have edited clips of Eva, slowed them down, and set them to her beautiful version of Fields Of Gold. I hope you enjoy this clip as it is probably the closest we will ever get, short of having been there in Washington that night, to seeing Eva perform this beautiful song. Note: I scoured the planet and this is the only video version you will probably find of her performing this song.
Birth name Eva Marie Cassidy
Born February 2, 1963(1963-02-02)
Washington, DC
Origin Maryland, United States
Died November 2, 1996 (aged 33)

Lyrics to Evas' version:

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

Dairycowfarm,

Eva died on November 2nd, 1996.

But yes, she is now an eternal legend. The music she makes is nothing short of perfect.

Better, even.

So RicBNH is this the live sung audio version or a recoreded audio version over random video footage (of the night of the live performance).
Also get your sources right and mention the original composer of the song (music&lyrics I think it was Sting (of the Police) in hte edit area.
RicBNH (January 7, 2009 at 1:24 am)
Soooo firstly Davooz,
if you care to look to the right under more info I clearly typed-Fields Of Gold 'Cover'.
I feel no need to credit the source on this particular video.
It's well known that Sting wrote it and I will not get into the semantics!
This verion was perfomed live by Eva and I simply edited clips together so there was something to watch(also explained under more info)

DaVooz (January 8, 2009 at 1:16 am)
Than add a tab "Sting" under the "more info"-area if you are so persistent in not mentioning the original composer. This is not an Eva Cassidy-song, but her (excellent) cover of a Sting-song. Writers are usually not credited for and not mentioned. Like directors and screenwrites of films: it is usually the performers.
I think it is a little weird that you feel no need to credit the person who actually filmed the actual footage which has since (4 years later) became world famous.

There will be no changes to this channels format.
The End!
