this song/ medley has been featured in a few films and tv shows. i first heard it on the wizard of oz episode of scrubs, and it made me ball my eyes out.

the artist who did the song is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, and he passed almost a decade ago due to weight-related illness. he has the sweetest, most beautiful voice. it's sad to read the comments on youtube, where some folks are doing nothing but commenting on his weight. close your eyes and listen to the song and it's magical, who cares what he looked like on the outside?

here's the scrubs version that steals from the original (but is still good stuff):
