A True ClassicWhenever I've been in that mood where I wanna close my eyes, and imagine myself in a world full of love, peace, harmony and no distractions, a world where happiness is in plenty and morals are respectful, a world where family is family, friends are for live and lovers are the core of a relationships, this is when Bill Withers comes to my rescue. A sexy, sizzling single from the 70's, I can never get bored listening to it, no matter how many times i've heard of it. Here's a little history about this song:
"Ain't No Sunshine" is a song by Bill Withers from his 1971 album Just As I Am. It is 280th on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was used in the hit film Notting Hill.
The song has been covered by many artists including Ziggy Marley, Lighthouse Family, Horace Andy, Ben Harper, Van Morrison, Sting, Lenny Kravitz, Tom Jones, Eva Cassidy, Al Green, Michael Jackson, Will Young and Woven Hand among others.
There are also several songs sharing the same name and many lyrics from the hook but aren't true covers, such as by Akon, Cuban Link and DMX. The last in particular is more "inspired by" than a true cover like the artist rendentions listed in the above paragraph.

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
She's gone much too long
Any time she goes away
Ain't no sunshine when 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
I know
She's gone to stay
It's breakin' me up
Anytime she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
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 gone much too long
Any time she goes away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't a home
Any time she goes away
I know
She's gone to stay
It's breaking me up
Any time she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Any time she goes away
Any time she goes away
I would most definitely recommend you to listen to this True Classic.
Goodnight Beoble,
Abs.
