When i was 12 my dad died after 8 months in the hospital. He could only talk on the occasions when he could breath on his own and his ventilator was capped. The day before he died, his ventilator was capped for a few hours so he could talk. He grabbed my hand and in his labored raspy voice he sang You Are My Sunshine to me. That was 24 years ago and it still makes me cry when i hear that song
This is epic. Your musical artistry, talent, stirs a person inside. I can't imagine...what you will create when Sad Alex becomes a Happy Alex...Legend! If no one told you your awesome today...YOU are awesome. Keep being AWESOME! 🍺😉👍
Yeaaah it’s already a sad tune, most people just don’t know the last verse: “you told me once dear you really loved me and no one else could come between, but now you’ve left me and you love another. You have shattered all of my dreams,” … super cheerful song right?
Reminds me of something I once sang: you are my darkness, my only darkness. You make me happy, when skies are bright. You'll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my darkness away...
😁🥰 WOW .Alex you fantastic and adorable .💓 If I were not an ol' grizzeld sugar bear I would be tempted to get to know her more better. I think I have just discoverd the next Taylor Swift . Natural talent is so rare. Thank you so very much.
,🤗 I I didn't realize that somebody could put the way I felt about a certain relationship into a song great job by Alex keep up the good work❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ make sure you keep yourself full of love because you're awesome just the Way You are
Well, you are wonderful arn't you! If you were mine I would need you All of the time. Talent, heart, and beauty I hope whoever is with you truly appreciate the Gem you are. Bless.
The original "You are my Sunshine" is a sad song. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken And I hung my head and cried You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away I'll always love you and make you happy If you will only say the same But if you leave me to love another You'll regret it all some day You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away You told me once dear, you really loved me And no one else dear, could come between But now you've left me and love another You have shattered all my dreams You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away" You have shattered all my dreams is a sad af lyric. I'll be real I dont think your version is sadder. Your version wondering if your relationship is real, feeling like its one sided and that youre being used. The original is about being abandoned, a woman leaving him for another man. In the second verse he wakes up to her being gone and he just sobs. And the original is sung by these Cowboys, traditional symbols of toughness. Bearing their souls to the world. It's sorrow and longing. Notice in the original his love is in the present tense. He still loves her. He's pleading to not be abandoned. Please don't take my sunshine away. Don't leave me. Idk I feel being betrayed and abandoned is much sadder to me then a situation that you can just walk away from. But I get that's a personal view. "You are my Sunshine" is such a beautifully sad song.
I thought your @ handle was "I'm 'se Dalex". From Dr.Who. I'm sure it's not the 1st time you heard that. But, I am supposed to be here for the 10yrs out of college song, but not found it yet. 'Cause it's good work.
I gave everything for you But you keep turning me down All these broken butterflies in my chest I'm only your sometimes You only call me When you are not happy Or when it's late You never notice The ways I love you I wished I only needed you sometimes too ==== This is not the lyrics. But the same feeling
You are My Sunshine is about a wife leaving her husband. This one seems to be about a couple that hasn't made it to that level yet. Even though it has amazing imagery it can never be as sad.
Yeah the original song is a man bearing their soul to the world. Being just devastated. Abandoned and betrayed. It's such a tragic song. I agree with you on this 100%.
I don't like saying anything negative on the internet....I mean I do.....but I don't like it....and KNOW men are not allow to tell women to smile...buuuuttt...I would like to hear happy stuff ...if that is rude...my apologies.

May he find peace in the Eternal night sky
Dang rip
That story just made me cry.
What a sad story this really makes me cry. I'm so sorry for your loss.
The line "these broken butterflies all in my chest" evokes really impactful symbolic imagery in my mind.
Heart-achingly beautiful and haunting, you are such a talented song writer.
You're amazing and your spin on music is uniquely refreshing and so enjoyable to hear and see.
For what it's worth, your natural hair color is spectacular. Love your version, so talented.

I can feel the pain in your voice. Music is the messenger of the soul. Message received. Well done.
I love your hair by the way.

Not easy when you have to succumb to the reality of "you must forget someone you will always remember"
Damn, she’s a talented writer and singer. Love it.
This sounds WAY better than most of the commercial pop music out today!!
Reminds me of something I once sang: you are my darkness, my only darkness. You make me happy, when skies are bright. You'll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my darkness away...
Discovered you yesterday. I've been obsessed with your voice and whole vibe since.. lol

Nice hair dooage. Great sad songage.
Wow, that was sad. Good job. 😥
The original "You are my Sunshine" is a sad song.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all some day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You told me once dear, you really loved me
And no one else dear, could come between
But now you've left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away"
You have shattered all my dreams is a sad af lyric. I'll be real I dont think your version is sadder. Your version wondering if your relationship is real, feeling like its one sided and that youre being used.

The haircolor looks so good on you! Is it your natural color?
And you are super talented with music, awesome as Always! :)
Wow, just wow !
His response video. "You are my side chick. My extra side chick. I have many, you're not so great...." You are pretty good though. Solid content. lol
you SHINE x please gig and tour UK x
Alright, your natural hair just looks amazing. Sparkles in the light and just matches your eye color greatly.
How dare you make me feel Things?!
I dont want that!
Nice new Hair btw.
❤ i feel you sweetheart.
I thought your @ handle was "I'm 'se Dalex". From Dr.Who. I'm sure it's not the 1st time you heard that. But, I am supposed to be here for the 10yrs out of college song, but not found it yet. 'Cause it's good work.
Wait? Did you record that first part through a 90s corded phone? EPIC!
Amazing.
I thought you would end it with, "please don't take my sunshine away". 🤔 ❤
Good song, although the full original is pretty sad already.
Are you on Amazon music?
Great song. I recommend 1:5 by Chinchilla on a similar theme.
I gave everything for you
But you keep turning me down
All these broken butterflies in my chest
I'm only your sometimes
You only call me
When you are not happy
Or when it's late
You never notice
The ways I love you
I wished I only needed you sometimes too
====
This is not the lyrics. But the same feeling
YOU DID THE THING WITH THE HAIR
I love you always, Alex, not just sometimes.
Thats how it should be done, Not conpletetly copied with braely any changes, But self made version thats not for views but enjoyable expierience! 😅❤
If only there was time
I feel you missed the opportunity to say "you are my sunshine...am I yours sometimes? You make me happy, do you feel the same?"
How am I only just finding you?
But, I've been wanting to listen to Bork 'Past Lives', took me months to name that song. Try Bushes of Love. Do you like Bardcore?
Can you do a version that's slower?
So you weren't lying when you named your channel
Sounds like it's time for someone better.
669th like 😂❤ nice
This is NOT the sad version, it's deliriously happy compared to the one by the band The Fire Show
Or the Gene Autry version even.
This song hit close to my divorce, you get a like from me!
I think she's going throught a break up...
🐥🫴🫀🧸
You are My Sunshine is about a wife leaving her husband. This one seems to be about a couple that hasn't made it to that level yet. Even though it has amazing imagery it can never be as sad.
um....
its a revenge song from the point of view of the broken person, usually ex-husband seeking thier revenge, explaining why
@@AnonymousAnarchist2 I mean that's sweet and all but you are my sunshine is a suicide note.
Yeah the original song is a man bearing their soul to the world. Being just devastated. Abandoned and betrayed. It's such a tragic song. I agree with you on this 100%.
I don't like saying anything negative on the internet....I mean I do.....but I don't like it....and KNOW men are not allow to tell women to smile...buuuuttt...I would like to hear happy stuff ...if that is rude...my apologies.
Objectively better than the original (which can be read as a creepy niceguy thing very easily)
No no no. COLDER. 🩵🦷 ROUGHER. 😂
