Over the past couple of years that young lady has become an international phenomenon, with millions of YouTube views, glowing media coverage and a best-selling album—a feat made all the more remarkable by the fact that Connie Talbot was all of 7 years old.
Since then the Connie Talbot phenomenon has skyrocketed not only in the U.K., where Over the Rainbow went gold in three weeks, but in other European and Asian countries as well and also in the US. In America Connie’s album reached the #7 spot on the Heatseakers chart in Billboard Magazine and the single ‘Three Little Birds’ reached the #1 spot on the Hot 100 Singles Sales Chart. Recently the Guinness Book of World Records certified Talbot as the new reigning champion in the categories of youngest artist in the UK ever to reach the charts and the youngest to receive a gold record.
In the fall Connie released her new holiday themed album in the US. The CD is titled Connie Talbot's Holiday Magic and features Connie's interpretation on holiday classics and fan favorites. Connie has also recorded an hour long television special for PBS, making her (at 8 years old) the youngest artist to ever do so.
In early summer Connie announced she would be releasing a holiday themed album in America. The CD is titled Connie Talbot’s Holiday Magic and will feature Connie’s Along with the album Connie will be recording an hour long television special for PBS.
The holiday album and new television special will cap off an incredibly prolific and successful year for the rising star. Recently named child ambassador for the 2009 Marine Toys for Tots campaign, Connie plans to donate part of the proceeds from CD sales in support of the worthy charity.
Over The Rainbow
Connie Talbot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Way up high there's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really do
Come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops way up on the
chimney tops that's where you'll
Find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly birds fly over
The rainbow why then oh why can't I
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond
The rainbow why oh why can't I

Line by Line Meaning
Somewhere over the rainbow
There is a mystical and magical place beyond our reality
Way up high there's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
This place exists only in dreams and is a source of comfort and hope
Skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really do
Come true
In this place, anything is possible and your deepest desires can become reality
Someday I'll wish upon a star
The artist longs for this place and dreams of reaching it
And wake up where the clouds
Are far behind me
In this place, there is peace and freedom from worry or stress
Where troubles melt like lemon drops way up on the
chimney tops that's where you'll
Find me
This place is a utopia, where all problems dissolve and happiness prevails
Bluebirds fly birds fly over
The rainbow why then oh why can't I
The singer is full of longing to reach this beautiful and joyful place
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond
The rainbow why oh why can't I
Even nature itself seems to find happiness in this place, and the artist wonders why they cannot access it as well

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why oh why, can't I?

When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the cloud darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain...
Connie^^

Actually, 14 years on. This was released in 2007, 1 week after Connie's 7th birthday... so therefore recorded when she was still 6.
