I used to listen to this when I was a teenager in the late 90’s early 2000’s. Got me through the roughest and most beautiful of times. Dark and magical all the same.
My mom used to sing this to me all the time. I sang this to her on her death bed. And as a punk fan I am overcome with joy that the covered this. I miss you everyday mommy I cannot believe you have been gone for 9yrs now😢❤️❤️❤️
my dad dedicated this song to me as a baby, its really cool that im able to listen to it and remember him. honest to god it got me thru a couple hard times. the johnny cash version is equally as cool, but this one brings more memories of my father
I love this version of the song. Looking at the song through a punk rock lens gives it a unique energy when you listen to it. Where the original is sad mourning someone not being there anymore, this version to me captures more of the frustration that could be experienced. 👍
When i was younger my grandmother had this sunflower that looked like a real sunflower(barring it's size, but when you are that young you dont really know how big a real sunflower should be) and when you pressed a button this glowing face would show up OUT OF NOWHERE and it scared the living hell outta me
I do not know you but based on your statement alone i respect the hell out of you. I wish you and Emily the best and hope you raise a new generation of Screeching Weasel fans.
Ben has something with the word “sunshine”, lol. There’s this cover, the cover of “i can see clearly” (“it’s gonna be a bright sunshiney day”), and the song “sunshine”, which incorporates the old Flinstones song “open up your heart (and let the sun shine in)”.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You never know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamt I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head, and I cried You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You 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 one day You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You never know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away Please don't take my sunshine away
@@taylorharper5857 i agree, once i starded liking a lesbian and she dumped me for another lesbian, i had to take a lot of drugs to get over it but i still wanna die sometimes
@@dingdong1822 I was heartbroken over a gal, who THIS version of this song makes me think of, for years. I broke up with her about ten years ago and the only thing that kept me alive was the possibility that we could get back together. It took 6 years for me get above that point. But I'd still get back with her without a moment's hesitation if she'd let me.
@@chAIboiBoogie at least you were the one with the feet. Why did you break it off? Another question, 6 years? That scared the shit out of me, it never took me more than a year to forget a bitch, but this one is a pain, literally. Are you saying what i think it is your saying? Should i blast misfist in my car and run over her girlfriend?
@@dingdong1822 lmao that's NOT what I said. I was content knowing that she was happy with someone else, as long as she was happy. I'd live my life and not wait for her. Being single is a blessing too, so few people figure this out.

I remember downloading this off Limewire around 2004/2005 and listening to it on my iPod shuffle on the bus. Good times.

Wow me too
Same here 🙌
Me too and when I was a teen I would listen to Emo album and thanks very little and anthem for a new tomorrow
I been coming back to this song for 20+ years. Im so glad its still here on youtube. Hard to find on any music “service”.
My mom used to sing this to me all the time. I sang this to her on her death bed. And as a punk fan I am overcome with joy that the covered this. I miss you everyday mommy I cannot believe you have been gone for 9yrs now😢❤️❤️❤️
I'm sorry mate
Dude, she's with you every day.
Millencolin - a ten
She’s with you
Watching from above
I did the same for my older sister, who passed in 2011
My dad would sing and play this for me when I was little. :)

My absolute favorite cover version of this song. Thanks guys!
Beach Boys version on Smile is better.
@@kookadams85 you have a link for that dude?
me too!!
when i first met my wife, we listened to this song and smoked a joint. it was very nice and i will never forget the moment
This is the best version of this song I have heard.

Use to sing this to my daughter, now I sing it to myself and hold on to fond memories.
I sing this as a lullaby to my girl, this version 🤟🤟
Both my twentysomething boys get to hear me sing this to them still! A mother's love never dies no matter how painful it can be at times.
i will have this play at my wedding..Even better i will play this with my bro and cousin! I Love You Emily
Did you play this? Do you still love her? I hope you did and you do.

LOL my parents has a flower that dances if you press a button. Luckily it's face is always visible.

this made my heart happy

yeah because he was anti grunge and was against all the really depressing music
My mom always sang this to me growing up.. now I’m 20, singing this to my 5 month old son 😭 life’s crazy
my little boy I used to sing this to him now hes gone
I'm so sorry. I know the pain. I still sing this to my 4 year old.
Really sorry to hear about your son. What happened? Hang in there.

same here bro. keep the good romance go! ;)
turns out she didnt and i was right but like its ok i'll find someone worth it!! keep shit rockin!!
You’re gay
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You 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 one day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
you're my hero
please edit to the correct lyrics. thanks
Lifetime fan
