MY FIRST POST HERE—Vibes music contest week 28—Ain't No Sunshine cover

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

A warm hello to everyone in this community.

I only just discovered this community and this is my very first post here, so forgive me if I unknowingly flout any of the community's rules. I am positively eager to be a committed member of this community

This is Vibes music contest week 28 and I learned that there is no specific theme for this week's presentations/performances, to the best of my knowledge.

For this performance, I'll be playing the acoustic guitar and singing a very classic blues song that I love so much. If my memory serves me right, I have performed this song on Hive before, about 2 years ago or so. It is so refreshing to perform this beautiful piece once again for everyone on this platform.

Why do I love the song? I love the blues so damn much, and I like that it's bluesy. I love the theme of the lyrics, coz who doesn't love love, right? I'm kinda missing my lady too at thr moment. Lol. And I just love the general slow, chill vibe of the song.

It is my sincere hope that I was able to perform this song to the best of my ability and convey the message the original composer intended. However, for a taste of the original undiluted stuff, 👇🏾.

Here is a YouTube link to a performance of the song by the original composer, Bill Withers himself.

Here are the lyrics of this iconic song.
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 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.

BRIDGE:

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 ought to leave the young thing along
But ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone

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.
