You Are My Sunshine (cover feat. Ben Mulwana)

So -- I had a wedding to play at a couple of weeks ago and I was trying to figure out what nice love songs to play. This song popped into my head because of the sweet, classic lullaby, You Are My Sunshine. So I looked it up and it turns out, it is most definitely not a wedding song BUT it is a beautiful song and I decided I wanted to cover it. I asked my friend Ben Mulwana if he wanted to collaborate on this video and here it is! We hope you love it!
Go follow Ben!

I lost my husband and son this year and this song brings tears to my eyes bc it means so much to me

[@vanguardsupreme2787]

I'm so sorry for your loss blessings 💕

[@christenholbrook7097]

I couldn't imagine and I am so sorry. I will keep you in my prayers.

[@angeliamoore9335]

So sorry for your loss. I lost my husband 7 years ago but I couldn't imagine losing one of my kids. I will keep you in my prayers.

[@erika0047]

sorry for your loss 😥🙏

[@marquinhosgordo]

I list my mom 2 years ago and this song help me

[@user-vi8po9qd6v]

My sister passed away 30 years ago today, and this is the song she sang to me all the time. What a great memory. I love your harmonies.

[@wautoma15]

I danced with my Mom to this song at my wedding in October. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. Thank you for making such a memorable moment for everyone that was in attendance :).

[@ScottyCaz]

I literally just made the same comment. Perfect song for it 👊

[@woodstoney]

When I was a very little boy my grandmom sitting in her large rocking chair used to hold me in her lap and sing this song to me as she gently rocked me. This song brought back some bittersweet memories of that lovely woman who took time from her busy daily schedule to rock and sing to me. Thanks for the memory. Very nicely done!!

[@alissafabretti6416]

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey 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 But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken And I hung my head and I cried 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 grey 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 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 grey You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away

[@Yesica1993]

I can't get over how sad this is! (All my life I'd only heard the first verse.)

[@lisalefleur2977]

This was our song sung to my brother at his funeral... And then to my Dad when he passed away 9 years... I miss them both so much...

[@stardustgirl2904]

You will see them both, again I know this to be true! I know those that have passed on ,are still with us,we just don't always see them while we're still alive! But I have seen my Grandmother since she passed away two years ago!

[@wallacenock7423]

Beautiful. Reminds me of my late Dad. He loved this song and use to sing it to me when I was Small. Bought tears to my eyes. Thank you beautiful souls. ❤️

[@itsallgoodmate8738]

I remember my mother singing this to me as in a lullaby way. She only repeated the same bit over and over . As she called me her sunshine when I was young .i remember just going to sleep without any care and knowing I was loved. Thank you for taking me back to such a beautiful ❤️ moment in time. Your version was subtle but powerful at the same time . Thanks 😊

[@dustinswab9008]

Beautiful. My grandmother passed away many years ago but she use to sing this song to me or with me often. Every time I hear it I remember her and our times together. It brings about both happy and sad feelings but I am glad for all of them. Thank you.

[@rachaelmedeiros3179]

I'm one of those people who just hit Like before even watching the video cause I know Haley is that good!

[@haleyklinkhammer]

Thank you so much Rachael! 💙

[@_jun_aoki_]

Same here!

[@jslash791]

I made it about 14 seconds before i hit like

[@jstshageo]

...pretty much.👀

[@marifoiali]

This is now my favorite version of the song. After loosing my father I dreamed I held him close. It felt so real but when I woke up... God bless you all.

[@Neurotic48]

People don’t realize just deep and emotional these lyrics really are! Beautiful cover.

[@roselynandress1269]

I dedicated this song to my son after he passed. I miss him so much.

[@1thomson]

Dear, dear Haley: I forwarded this to a friend of mine who is a retired music director and program director in the radio biz. He _rarely_ comments on any music that I send him. He's heard it all. He's a bit jaded, I'm afraid. But, in your case, here's what he said, " It is a very beautiful rendition of an old favorite ditty. The slow tempo makes it sound sad with a touch of longing instead of a celebration." That may not seem like much, but from him, it's high praise indeed. You impressed the heck out of an old music biz pro. And, you impressed the heck out me, too. I'm now checking around and bookmarking everything I can find from you. Keep up the great work, Kiddo! We're with you! JT

[@thundercell13]

Thank you for this. My mother suddenly passed from cancer three months ago and would always sing this to me for my bedtime routine as a little boy.

[@Yesica1993]

Also, I loved the subtle harmonies. I've sung a lot of harmonies & I love when it's not overdone, but rather bringing out/highlighting the beauty of the song. This was beautifully done.

[@haleyklinkhammer]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@melanyanguilar5620]

Can you explain to me exactly what harmony is? Does it have to be with two people or is harmony also a solo thing?

[@Yesica1993]

​@@melanyanguilar5620 I'm just an amateur singer, not formally music trained. I'll try my best: It is two or more people singing at once. One person does the melody, the main tune of the song. At the same time, the other person(s) sing complimentary notes. Or rather, notes within that same chord. 1st verse - She is singing the melody, the main tune of the song. He's doing (quiet) harmonies. 2nd verse - at :44 They are both singing melody (main tune) He's just in the male range, which is naturally lower. But it's the same notes. 3rd verse - at 1:16 She is singing melody. He is doing high harmonies (which sound SO gorgeous!) chorus - 1:47 She's singing melody, he's doing harmonies 4th verse - 2:17 She's singing melody, he's doing low harmonies chorus - 2:46 She's singing melody, he's doing low harmonies I'm sorry, that's probably a terrible explanation. It's the sort of thing that would be easier to demonstrate rather than explain in words. I'm sure if you search, there are videos that could do a much better job!

[@melanyanguilar5620]

Yesica1993 oh ok! Thank you for the explanation that did make sense. It’s just that I always here people saying things like “that harmony though” and I never know exactly what they’re talking about😅 Thank you!

[@Yesica1993]

​@@melanyanguilar5620 I forgot to say, they're singing other notes within the same chord. (Not just random notes, obviously.) Glad it was somewhat helpful. Like I said, I'm sure there are much better explanations out there! If you listen to the Beatles, the Eagles, other bands, you can hear it. That's how I learned when I was growing up. Other than basic voice lessons, I have no musical training. Take care.

[@wongamshinglai7592]

The world is full of mistrust n hearbreaks but like the song we can't. Help it ..but all we ve got to remember is tat very...' You are my sunshine' ...

[@schokkolala]

I always listened and sang to this song with my brother, when one of us was scared or feeling lonely. I miss him so damn much but everytime I listen to this song again I feel so close to him. thank you so much for this great version!

[@haleyklinkhammer]

I'm so glad that this cover could make you feel close to your brother again.

[@xxitzlevixx2943]

It makes me think of my babies I miss them Soo much my poor baby brother and sister they were my babies

[@shemi322]

Lord you are my Sunshine. Please don't get tired of me💙 stay with me until I'm with you.

[@jesusfamily777]

Amen.. Song hits straight to the soul... Love it.. So much it makes me cry cause I love n care so much.. favorite song right now... Miss & love my baby son who I lost at 27 weeks May 11, 2021.. I know he's in heaven which is a way better place.. I miss & love him so much & really wish I could be with him n Jesus right now with my other 11 month old son who's with me..

[@blessedtobemyself]

Beautiful! Just played this for my daycare kiddos for naptime. ❤

[@haleyklinkhammer]

Awww I love that! 💙

[@Yesica1993]

This is one of my favorite songs. I always thought it was a sweet, joyful song. In the past few years, I've done a lot of childcare and used it for lullabies. One of my most precious memories was singing it to one of my boys and him joining in as he was drifting off to sleep. But I had only ever heard the first verse. I didn't even know there was more. Somewhere along the line I heard the 2nd verse and it totally changed the meaning, the feel of it. It became almost hard to sing for lullabies, as now it no longer was happy to me. Now with these other verses, that's even more the case. None of this is negative on you both! This was absolutely beautiful & I will listen to it often. It's just interesting how a song I thought I knew most of my life turned out to be quite different than what I thought it was.

[@haleyklinkhammer]

I'm so happy you enjoyed our cover! I always only knew the first verse as well! I was surprised to hear the rest of the verses. They definitely give it a new meaning. I think it's still a cool song and I still love that first verse as a lullaby 😊

[@melmel1071]

My mum used to sing it for me to get to sleep. I’d annoy her every time by joining in instead of falling asleep. Some of my most favourite memories tho. This song will always be with me in ways I can’t describe

[@sinjon]

I never knew this song could be so beautiful. That was before I heard Haley sing it

[@toms6841]

When this song crosses my mind and I want to actually hear it, I search for this rendition. I love the presentation, the vocals, the tempo performed by Hayley and Ben. Raw and soulful. I think it's top shelf. Thank you.

[@_Tired_Demon_]

I can't stop crying😭😭😭

[@CrownedWithLaurels]

Go out to a club? Nah, I'm just gonna stay in and listen to 3 hours of Haley tonight tyvm. Also! Mr. Mulwana was lovely in this, gorgeous harmony.

[@nasufardaylmaz6893]

Why this cover is so underrated? This is very good...

[@tushar2177]

Haley I really appreciate your song selections. Thanks for introducing me to English songs and great cover!! 🇮🇳

[@bash9032]

Have really enjoyed watching you grow through the years. It filled my heart with joy a little while back when your name popped up in my Spotify feed. Wonderful job Haley; this brought me to tears on this dreary January afternoon.

[@alexalim2642]

Will you be placing this in Spotify? Would love to hear it there. This song means so much to me since my dad would say this was his mom’s lullaby to him, and he would call me his sunshine. This reminds me how much I miss my him.

[@goodgirl4635]
