Trying to find a version of "You Are my Sunshine"

Britini, on June 14, 2016 at 9:56 PM Posted in Planning 1 13

This might be a lost cause, but I am trying so hard to find a particular version of a song I fell in love with a few years back. It's a cover of "You are my Sunshine" and it was a male singer, but I just can't remember who the artist was. It sounded like a man in his 20's or 30's, his voice cracks in some parts beautifully, Not a very old song, either. Probably within the past ten years. I would love this mystery song at my wedding reception!

    I have been searching YouTube and 8tracks and google for hours lol this is becoming a bit of a frustrating obsession!

    I know I heard it first on an 8tracks playlist 4-5 years ago, but can't seem to find it and the number of times you can listen to playlists is limited.

    I couldn't remember. I just knew it wasn't happy. Oh. The velveteen rapey sounding rabbit (the stick inside) quote with 'becoming human' that's the one about the being sick.

    Are you possibly thinking of "You are the sunshine of my life" by Stevie Wonder?

    Because, yeah, the other one is way sad.

    Yeah, it's a very depressing song. There's a big misconception about it for so long with the sugar coated version that we all sang as a kid that people don't realize what it's really about.

    ETA: Britini, I think I've heard the version you might be talking about on Pandora. Yeah, try looking on YouTube or Spotify for 'you are my sunshine.' However, I think that same version still has the "So I hung my head and cried" verse in it.

    I know this is years too late but for anyone looking for this same thing currently, there's a beautiful version by "The Hound + The Fox" that changes the lyrics to be a happy version opposed to the classic "sad" version.
