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'll 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'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Ooh
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, ooh

Fields of Gold
Eva Cassidy
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 a while 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’ll 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’ll walk in fields of gold
We’ll walk in fields of gold
Ooh
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
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon 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
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the 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'll 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
Among the fields of gold

I had this played for my beautiful husbands funeral. we lived in the countryside and he loved strolling along the country lanes. it depicts our love and boy did i love him. taken way to early and along with him he took a big piece of my heart. I now live among fields of gold with memories of the most amazing husband and fantastic dad. I will love him for eternity until we meet again among those fields of gold. My precious darling xx

I'm 31 at the moment. Over the years I've listened to so many songs, from different genre and era. The 80s, 90s, and even Jazz. If there is one song I keep coming back to, it's this track, sung by Ms Cassidy. I know this in my heart of all hearts, that if I live to be old and all wrinkled, I'd still listen to 'Fields of Gold' by Eva.
Everyone has their one song. This is mine.

When I hear Eva Cassidy’s beautiful version of this song it brings back a memory of walking my dog with my mother one night. As we walked under a tree I looked up at the leaves and branches that glowed a golden yellow from the light of a sodium street lamp filtering through the leaves.
I remember my mother. I remember my dog. I remember that peaceful, calm, contented moment 55 years ago. Thanks Eva.

I grabbed onto this song for comfort after my mom died of a brain aneurysm when she was just 45-years-old. Well now 14 years later I've stumbled back onto it and the feelings feel like I'm back in those moments of loss. Funny how music encapsulates so much. Last year I got to meet the wonderful woman who received my moms heart and was able to listen to my moms heart beating inside her with a stethoscope. It's not closure, but it's close. Please be an organ donor. <3

Dear Sarah, I'm so sorry you lost your mom. You can be sure she is now safe in Gods memory. But do you know that there will come a time when you will be able to see your mom again here on earth? God promises this in the bible where it says according to Revelations 21:3-5 ...,,with that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God put it this way:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. He means that there will be a time on earth when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune. I can recommend you an very hopegiving article with the theme ,,Enjoy Life Forever" https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/this article is about what God will do in the very near future and how it can give you hope for the future. The future look's much better than most of the people expect, because God loves us and what he promises will not fail. I wish you all the best for your future and send you my best regards, Michel

My favorite artist for thirty years. Fields of Gold is so beautifully sung with that angelic voice that tears just roll down. I lost my wife to leukemia 2 1/2 years ago. Whenever I played Fields of Gold in the car she said it made her too sad. She didn't care for sad. When I listen to it I recall a memory of when we were walking through an apple orchard during the "golden hour" and our three daughters were playing and gathering apples. It was fall and the lighting was magical. It is a moment forever locked in my memory and Eva always brings it into sharp focus. An artist lost too soon.

We just passed into 2022. The hard stuff is still with me, from losing Mom last year to cancer and how hard I had to work alone at my job, when they laid off everybody, to how hard they made my Mom's treatments and consultations to get and the fact that this wonderfully social woman lived cut off from most everything during her last days. I also think of my hubby who does beyond his best to help me. We pass fields of gold going to and from home every day.

I found her many years ago and fell in love with her voice. Most cover songs are simply done the same way the original artist has done it. There are some exceptions of course. However this has always been the greatest cover I’ve ever heard. She has simply a perfect voice and if you haven’t heard the entire songbird album you need to hear it. She gave a concert while she was dying that has some of the greatest vocals you’ll ever hear. It really is a shame that she died so young we might’ve had so many more songs to listen to and I feel so badly for her husband and family. But her legacy will never die. Even sting broke down on hearing this version

Years ago, while driving, this song came on early one Sunday morning on a “smooth jazz” station that’s no longer around. They would play less known music and eclectic songs on this Sunday program. I can’t remember the station or the name of the program. Not sure where I was driving or why that day. But I had to pull over, raise the volume and close my eyes to listen. It was piercing. It made an imprint. After finding out her story it was even more moving. To this day hearing this song and others from her invokes a unique somewhat painful emotion... but one that you want to feel.

It's never to late to discover a great artist. Like Van Gogh who never sold a painting while he was alive. I have just discovered Eva Cassidy. As tears are running down my cheeks I write this comment and I have discovered my musical Van Gogh. What a voice and guitar playing! What a loss. God Bless Eva!

My gosh I never heard of her, we're the same age and I have been watching her videos over and over the past couple days for the first time She was such a unique guitarist and so very skilled , I've been playing for 45 years and have developed my own style borrowing pieces from many greats. Her style is unique and so pleasant. Her voice in every way is pleasing emotional and powerful as needed. She makes me smile and cry in the same song. Rest in peace beautiful Eva

The first time I heard Eva Cassidy's voice I felt like I was enfolded in a beautiful, golden space all by myself and Eva. How did I not hear her for 30+ years after she was no longer with us. Her voice is so pure, crystal clear, like water I've drunk from a cool mountain stream camping in the great outdoors. When she sings she warms and envelops my spirit, yet reaches into the very depth of my heart to lay bare every pain I lived.

I lost my beautiful mum last June to cancer and we played this to say goodbye. My mam knew she was dying 2 years before but never once did i see her cry. Always thinking of others and singing to songs, most of the time more perfectly than the singers themselves, lol. She chose this one herself and what a good choice. Rest in piece mum i love you always xxxx4

I heard this for the first time 8 years ago, weeks before my husband was killed. Afterwards I couldn’t listen; I knew I would break down at a time I was trying so hard to reserve my strength. Playing it today, watching our children clean the dinner dishes I realize how far we’ve all come. Different house, different city, but we are still going forward. It’s still surreal sometimes realizing he’s gone. Sometimes it’s just normal. But it’s always tragic. I’m happy I’m in a place where I can hear this beautiful song again. To all of you who have lost and know that there’s no such thing as closure when a loved one dies, I wish you strength and peace.

Three years ago today my dad took his last breath. He use to always drink and listen to Eva. I remember hearing the song but it wasn't until last year that I understand what his heart must have felt as he listened to this. Such a sad world we live in and to live with the grief of losing the ones closest to us exasperates this. I hope this song brings comfort and good memories to all who listen.
