I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine

Whoever wrote this song knows what it feels like

"Every day is just like the day before, All alone a million miles from shore, All of my dreams I dreamed with you, Now they will die and never come true, An' I keep crying, crying"

i think beth orton wrote it.... and yes. she does. beautiful song and lyrics.

she is simply beautiful & amazing. i really love how her voice always plays with the words she is singing & makes you feel like you've experienced everything she has. bravo beth !

actually it's a cover of a really old song, but beth's version sounds better to me

B-yewtaful...

This song is painful to listen to. It is such a great song, but it actually hurts to listen to it. It could easily be about a spouse/parent/child who has died. Man, who needs a drink.

Stunning, and so true.

This song was written, if I’m not mistaken, by the husband and wife team of Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, who had several big hits in the Brill building era. They met while he was still married to another, and music brought them together in not the best of circumstances. So, as usually happens in those cases, the marriage came to an end, although their partnership continued for a while afterwards, and again if I’m not mistaken this song was written during that time. So the words contained about feeling complete misery at the loss of someone loved are very much a reflection of their lives at the time of writing. The song was considered among the most dramatic for the Ronettes and it’s a great version of course, but this one really seems to get at that just, like, utter depression in a way the original can’t. I’ve given it a lot of thought and this may be the saddest song I can think of.
