Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone

About This Song

Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone by Bill Withers is a soulful and reflective song about loss and the emptiness left behind when someone is no longer there. It may be a meaningful choice for a funeral or memorial service for a wife, mother, partner, sister or close friend. The simple lyrics and slow pace give it a quiet, intimate feel. This song may work well during a moment of reflection, as entrance music, or at a wake or reception where the focus is on love, absence and remembrance.
