  • A few years ago, I remember hearing Ain't No Sunshine in Notting Hill and I immediately fell in love with the soul in this song. Bill Withers is an absolutely legendary artist. This was always one of those songs that I just sang around the house... doing homework, cleaning my room, etc. but I never considered actually singing it. Then after I reaaally started liking to sing, my mom suggested I learn this one. The band is so unbelievable on this, I really hope you like our rendition :) xx canen

      Well in truth the only way for an artist (cover band or just a fan) to properly cover a song especially a popular one is to own it. I mean plenty of people can and do make "good and faithful" copies/replications of popular songs. Very few can properly own their own version of it.

      When an artist improves the words of another, it's remarkable and rare.
      Three iconic artists who did such great feats regularly, were Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Elvis presley.
      They not only did that. But did it regularly and with massive critical acclaim.
      That's extremely rare.
      Showing what remarkable ironic artists they were.

    My sweet lord. This girls voice is taking me to a place,,,, an old dimly lit saloon, creaking wood floors, ethereal smoke that hangs motionless, whiskey bottles 7/8 empty without labels or writing, 5 guys with no expressions on their sun-withered faces hiding beneath wicker hats hunched over their hands at a too-small round poker table in the back, and a woman’s voice, Smokey & smooth voice that seems to be coming from everywhere n nowhere, “ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone”
    Sultry and earthy, almost effortless, this is a special kind of voice…. Glad I stumbled on this vid.

      resting by attempting to help them
      ...with what she already understands
      ...that other half that never rest until they convince themselves...
      Those that have seen it all...
      Never really hear her version of this song.

      The same thing applies to the many talented performers found by the likes of Simon Cowell.

OMG… My grandfather had a recording studio, he recorded mainly jazz and some Blue Gras, yess turned Johnny Cougar away, lol.. Ok, his launch might’ve paid for some college tuition back then.. My grandad dug on Jazz,.. improvisation.. We’ll, that’s what SRV was all about! And really encouraged it, as long as you got those fundamentals.. OKay, SRV certain.y did.. What a fantastic show, I still can’t believe he left us.. Okay, and along with so many others too soon, with God given talent…

    Lyrics
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    It's not warm when she's away
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And she's always gone too long
    Anytime she's goes away
    Wonder this time where she's gone
    Wonder if she's gone to stay
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And this house just ain't no home
    Anytime she goes away
    And I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know
    Hey I oughta leave young thing alone
    But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, woh woh
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    Only darkness every day
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And this house just ain't no home
    Anytime she goes away
    Anytime she goes away
    Anytime she goes away
    Anytime she goes away

      I don't get this! Try "hitting" a drum once..or a cello hitting a note..: Drum= Beng!..Cello having "feeling" extra to show! Sure being liked for all. But take the drum out..how does it sound then? (I'm not a drummer at all! Only questioning what "is" to be liked in music..)

    A lot of people are focusing on the young lady and rightly so, her performance was frighteningly close to perfection. Oh hell, it was perfection or at least as close to perfection as anyone could possibly get. A young girl lamenting the absence of her father or a brother was a great twist on the original lyrics. The reversal in gender is obvious but just who she might be lamenting is anyone's guess. But the musicians and the quality of the video and recording were extraordinary. This is not so much a cover as an alternative version of the song from a very different perspective. I truly believe Bill Withers would have felt honored by this version. This is the very best youtube has to offer and it's justification for existence.
