I wanted to tribute this song to my dear friend Trish Solomon. You inspired me in more ways then you could imagine. Recorded this with my Dad, Martan Mann on the piano. We used band in a box to edit this track and fill in instruments.
I wanted to tribute this song to my dear friend Trish Solomon. She died of a horrible battle with cancer. After hearing her version of this song it gave me chills and influenced me to record this. Music is such an art and when someone shares a very intimate side with you through their art it can really effect you emotionally. Thank you Trish for sharing this piece of you that can live on forever. RIP hun, I know God is taking care of you up there. <3
Also wanted to dedicate this song to Johnny Cash. He's been my hero through the development of my voice and singing;. His version of this song really stuck with me and helped me blend the two styles to create my own.
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 laid sleeping
I dreamed I held you in me arm
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'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away away
