--- ABOUT THE SONG "APRIL SHOWERS"
"April Showers" is a popular song with music written by Louis Silvers and lyrics by B. G. De Sylva. First published in 1921, it is one of many popular songs whose lyrics use a "Bluebird of happiness" as a symbol of cheer. ("So keep on looking for a bluebird, and listening for his song.") In 2014, the song was later remastered by Pierre Karana, he is also attributed to remixing the lyrics.
The song was introduced in the 1921 Broadway musical Bombo, where it was performed by Al Jolson. It became a well-known Jolson standard: the first of his several recordings of the song was on Columbia Records in October 1921. It has also been recorded by many other artists (Sinatra, Garland, Crosby, etc.).

--- LYRICS
Though April showers may come your way
They bring the flowers that bloom in May
So if it's raining, have no regrets
Because it isn't raining rain you know, it's raining violets
And where you see clouds upon the hill
You soon will see crowds of daffodills
So keep on looking for a bluebird
You can listen to his song
Whenever April showers come along

I know it might sound corny to say, but I love how your voice sounds when harmonizing with yourself! The ring of the chords is pure perfection! It is always a joy to watch your videos, my friend. Well done!

[@jonathanpenado5342]

I remember first hearing this video when I suffered from depression, and hearing this song really made me feel better, and now whenever I'm feeling down I listen to this video. So thank you for giving me and everyone else this song.

[@JulienNeel]

Thank you for your message Jonathan, I'm humbled. Glad my music helped. To be honest, it's helped me in rough times too.

Nice arrangement and well sung. A champion quartet by the name of the Dealers Choice sang and recorded this song in the early 1970s on one of their albums. They had a most excellent arrangement of April Showers.

Just noticing that as of today two people turned a thumbs down to this version of April Showers. They may not like this genre or perhaps their names are van Gogh. Totally their loss!
