@atillion79: You Were My Sunshine 😭☀️ Minor tuning (f)C F Ab C is my native tuning for banjo, so I find myself adapting a few major key songs to minor key and it changes the whole vibe. The privilege of rewriting a major key song to minor is that we get to rename the song something more bleak and dreary. What would you rename You Are My Sunshine? #youaremysunshine #clawhammer #banjo #minor #sunshine #sad

Interesting that the melody is exactly the same as the original--only the tonal center is shifted to the relative minor. I bet you could do this with a lot of Appalachian/Celtic fiddle/banjo tunes.

He took my Sunshine, my little sunshine. Swore she'd be happy, but that was lies. Now she lays buried, beside her mother. And now I ride into the night.

I think so many major key songs sound better in minor key...I just heard Here Comes the Sun in minor key and it's great

“My last light in the far west.” That’s what it makes me think of. A lonely cowboy sitting out on his porch with a can in hand full of black coffee as he watches the sun fall to rest after a long day of wrangling horses and keeping track of cattle, a small boy of his own that has fallen asleep to the sound of the banjo he grew around and now dreaming of the day he’ll be just like his daddy. A true cowboy. A man. Now as the sun goes down and the skies go black, this cowboy retires to his own bedroom..sleeping in a bed with a cold side beside him where SHE used to rest. The love of his life..but now he had a little boy. His last light in the far west.

The Dead South did a dark version like this but I honestly like your playing a lot more. I like some of the other suggestions but you could keep most the OG lyrics and call it Took My Sunshine

This sounds like the anthem of a once-innocent man who lost the love of his life and is now adventuring across the realm to hunt down the murderer, who turns out to be the ruler of the entire realm pulling the strings behind the scenes

It would still be "you are my sunshine" because at the end of the day, the sun still sets
