Eva Cassidy - Ain't No Sunshine Lyrics






Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he always gone too long anytime he goes away
I wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder how long he's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away

Well I know I know I know...
When he's gone
Always gone too long anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away

    The world did her wrong. She should have been known! So many of us were robbed of this talent. Posthumously though, she is an eternal superstar in so many ways. Thank you Eva, for sharing your beautiful gifts with us.

    Simply divine ❤️

  19. D.... W....

    Recently, I have found arguments as to where music comes from and who does it better to be so moot. Can any other version of this be any more soulful? I think not. As soulful? Perhaps. --- Every piece of music we've ever heard is inspired by all that came before until what you hear is a product of a current living soul embracing and augmenting as the heart dictates. Most of what we hear falls short of greatness, serving only to later reveal the truth we know when we actually hear it. The truth in talent. The truth in compassion framed in the perfection in composition. And one need not make the music to appreciate the truth, for the truth is known to all of us. Just, occasionally, we get to hear it from the gifted few who perfectly express it.

  20. A.... C....

    The best version I´ve heard... thank you Eva Cassidy

  21. W.... M....

    Such a lovely voice, this is an outstanding cover and rendition.

  22. C.... K....

    ...always a gorgeous rendition from Eva, no matter who the composer is. But let's make no mistake...nobody, but nobody can match the original from the LEGEND Bill Withers!!

    She had to have one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. So sad she had to leave so soon. I missed her beautiful voice. My sister told me about her. Don’t know how I missed hearing her beautiful angel voice. R.I.P. Eva🙏🏽🕊 Thank you for sharing this beautiful woman and her voice. She may have passed but that beautiful voice will live on forever ♥️🌹♥️

    Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
    It's not warm when he's away
    Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
    And he's always gone too long
    Anytime he goes away


    Wonder this time where he's gone
    Wonder if he's gone to stay
    Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
    And this house just ain't no home
    Anytime he 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 oughtta leave young thing alone
    But ain't no sunshine when he's gone
    Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
    Only darkness every day
    Ain't no sunshine when he'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

    Withers was inspired to write this song after watching the 1962 movie Days of Wine and Roses. He explained, in reference to the characters played by Lee Remick and Jack Lemmon, "They were both alcoholics who were alternately weak and strong. It's like going back for seconds on rat poison. Sometimes you miss things that weren't particularly good for you. It's just something that crossed my mind from watching that movie, and probably something else that happened in my life that I'm not aware of."[3]

    For the song's third verse, Withers had intended to write more lyrics instead of repeating the phrase "I know" 26 times, but then followed the advice of the other musicians to leave it that way: "I was this factory worker puttering around," Withers said. "So when they said to leave it like that, I left it."[4]

    Withers, then thirty-one years old, was working at a factory making toilet seats for 747s at the time he wrote the song.[4] On the American Top 40 program of November 6, 1976, Casey Kasem reported that when the song went gold, the record company presented Withers with a golden toilet, marking the start of his new career.[citation needed] "Ain't No Sunshine" was the first of Withers' three gold records in the U.S.

    Ain't no sunshine that Eva is gone. Thankfully her voice will be with us forever.

  57. M.... ....

    Best Version ever!!!!

  58. S.... F....

    love her voice so on

  59. C.... J....

    She was so amazing God Bless they both.

  60. P.... A....

    Usually, the original artist who introduces a song does the best version -- usually. But not always. Eva's version of this song is by far better than the original; in fact, it is, hands down, the best version ever. No contest.

    P.... A....

    why does everything have to be better ?... The original was phenomenal and so is...this version.. there is no better just different...but yes it's a masterpiece..

  61. L.... D....

    I JUST discovered her. Came up in Spotify after listening to another artist. BEST THING EVER. I love it when I discover someone I hadn't ever before who just automatically speaks to my heart like this. She is awesome. I like everything that comes out of her mouth and her renditions. I was so amazed I had to google her because I thought "how do I not know such an amazing voice?" Then I read that she died. So sad and sorry to read that she passed on from Cancer. I agree with a previous commenter that I miss her without having known her or knowing about her when she was alive.

  62. P.... T....

    Exceeds the original - exquisite.

  63. B.... L....

    Truly a special gift and feel for notes, timing and rhythm. And that velvet voice that flowed like warm honey. mmmmm. An angel with us for only a short time.

  64. F.... B....

    Absolutely beautiful

    This woman is fabulous ! RIP

    Dear Ms Cassidy: This is what really moves me with YouTube ... thanks to Eva Cassidy decided to share the beauty ... to enjoy your wonderful jewel, the fabulous diamond that you left us in inheritance, so that with you, let us making this world into a better place. To tell you the truth… we have achived something, but we have to persevere ... it is not easy! But you are here, alive with your spirit and music, to help us. To help us with the best and deepest feelings that bring us lightness, spreading the beauty, solidarity, equality and social justice in the environment and the place where we have to live and work in... Great song to help us getting small objectives with firm steps... Oh! Wonderful guitar that works independent already, as a golden ring in which the diamond melody is linked, together with the emotions of the counterpointing lyrics. Anyway ... to finish my remark now, I hope not bothering you or the others telling you the following one... I am sure, with no doubt, that it will not hurt you, neither anyone: God bless you! Even more: God already blessed you. No metaphysics doubt about it. Wait for us all there for loving us endlessly.
    Querida Sra. Cassidy: Esto es lo que realmente me conmueve con YouTube… gracias a que Eva Cassidy decidió compartir la belleza… el poder disfrutar de tu maravillosa joya, el fabuloso diamante que nos dejaste en herencia, para que, contigo, hagamos de este mundo un lugar mejor. He de decirte que algo hemos conseguido, pero tenemos que perseverar… ¡no es nada fácil! Pero tú estás aquí, vívida, para ayudarnos. Para ayudarnos a que con los mejores y profundos sentimientos que nos sacas a la luz extendamos la belleza, la solidaridad, la equidad y la justicia social en el entorno y lugar que nos toca vivir y trabajar… Grandes canciones para ayudarnos a conseguir pequeños objetivos con paso firme… Maravillosa guitarra que es ya de por si independiente, un aro de oro en el que se engarza el diamante melódico, contrapunteando las emociones del texto. En fin… Ahora espero que ésto que te voy a decir para terminar no te moleste ni a ti ni a los demás… Sé a ciencia cierta que daño no te hará, ni a ti ni a nadie: ¡Que Dios te bendiga! Y es que Dios ya te bendijo… sin duda alguna metafísica. Espéranos a todos para seguir queriéndonos.

  67. D.... ....

    Rest in peace Eva 💖

  68. T.... 1....

    Feel the sadness in this sweet voice✨🎶

  69. A.... A....

    I would never forget how I discovered Eva...I think from reading the first book of E.L. james...And I had to find out who is this Eva and I was amazed. Glad I looked her up its just sad that she's dead though. Still, I love her music and the way she interprets the song :)

  70. a.... ....

    I’m always going to love this

  71. M.... P....

    I used to love Eva Cassidy when I was a teenager but somehow I forgot about her music for the last decade and just rediscovered her today and I just cant believe how beautiful her voice is, it's like I'm hearing it for the first time again. I think she's my favorite singer ever, her voice is unbelievable.

    M.... P....

    I think Eva actually strikes people harder who have matured, have lived a while, been through stuff. You probably are different after a decade and her incredibly soulful, mature, nuanced voice hits you in the heart. Just a guess. I didn't hear her until I was near fifty and immediately I knew this was the greatest singer I had ever heard in all of decades before (and as it turns out the one and a half decades since). Viva Eva...

  72. A.... V....

    FANTASTIC!!!

  73. 1.... ....

    She just captivated you in every song she sang. Crystal clear vocals, beautiful, simple arrangements - but yet she turned a classic that was somebody else's into her own and turned it into genius.

  74. R.... E....

    This singer totally proves that sometimes the cover could be much more better than original. In every her performance. I love her...

  75. K.... A....

    This is incredible. Majestically sung

  76. G.... G....

    Not much sunshine with Eva gone away either.

  77. �.... �....

    Hello from Russia. Bravo Eva!!!

    Love this cover! Beautiful! 😍

  81. J.... B....

    Es ist unermäschlich was wir was ich vermisse werde ein Gefühl das wir zusammen gehören und das der tot keine Rücksicht auf Talent nimmt.

  82. D.... F....

    Wow wow wow 💖

  83. M.... M....

    Well I decided to take you with me... no matter what... that’s the way I see love... and I do love You.....

  84. A.... ....

    Ugh I hate it when people modify the lyrics

    A.... ....

    It's like their greatest fear is to not be seen as utterly straight

    A.... ....

    @Abigail Well this was recorded around 23 years ago. That would have been a valid fear for an recording artist then. And, in some genre still.

  85. S.... S....

    Shes so good ,need to hear you Eva

  86. A.... D....

    Nice. I like.

  87. A.... ....

    best cover ever! 2018

  88. J.... M....

    Nothing to say, she owned this.

  89. G.... P....

    Thank you ladie for this wonderful performance. Continue to make us dream. http://countrynarbonneplage.clubeo.com/page/passion-jazz.html

  90. A.... P....

    absolutely fab!

  91. c.... b....

    So much emotion in her voice - brings me to tears.

  92. N.... B....

    We didn't have anyone like her before Eva, and no one like her since. She was one of a kind. She is perfect to listen to in the car. Traffic jams don't seem so bad then.

  93. S.... Y....

    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

    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 oughtta leave young thing alone
    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

  94. c.... m....

    Eva sings every note with driven compelling sorrow, longing.., grateful for the few tapes she left that her Dad found, so deep
