Everybody knows the song “You Are My Sunshine.”
The song has been recorded so many times that most people forget that it originally was a country song. Regardless of the genre you play it in, the sunshine track is guaranteed to boost happiness along its way. That is why a young, prominent artist chose to perform it for a Bedstock project!
In the project, artists play songs from bed for all the kids stuck in their own beds at home!
That’s the Bedstock idea in a nutshell. Artists try to offer music medicine to those in need, and it’s one of the most beautiful projects we have come across. For more information, visit the official website.
There you’ll have the option to choose between different moods, and you’ll be offered songs according to your choice.
For example, if you choose that you want to feel happy, “Keep Your Head Up” by Andy Grammer and “Come On Eileen” by Ukuladies will pop up on your screen. Of course, there’s plenty of songs you can listen to—those two are simply the featured ones.
Born at the beginning of the new millennium, Jasmine Thompson is a rising star whose album Bundle of Tantrums gained her a widespread recognition.
An English singer-songwriter, Thompson began her career in 2010 when she first started posting covers on YouTube.
In 2014, German deep house producer Robin Schulz featured Jasmine’s vocals on his song “Sun Goes Down.”
The track became a huge success, and it kick-started Thompson’s career. Today, Jasmine has over three million subscribers to her YouTube channel, where you can also find some very interesting collaborations with other artists. Those includes Ryan Keen, Zedd, Thomas Jack and Moxie Raia.
Just imagine—she was only 15 when her acoustic cover of Chaka Khan’s “Ain’t Nobody” reached number 32 on the UK Singles Chart!
At that time, she already had two albums under her belt, Bundle of Tantrums and Another Bundle of Tantrums. Her latest solo project is the 2015 EP Adore.
It’s easy to fall in love with Thompson’s incandescent voice.
As the Bedstock project says, the artists perform in their beds and perform any song they want. Therefore as the video begins, we see Thompson sitting on a bed with a guitar on her lap.
The video is in black and white, but the girl’s voice is powerful enough to paint it in all the colors you need.
“You Are My Sunshine” is a very powerful song, and it can make you believe it was dedicated to you. If any track can put a smile on your face, then this is the one.
The whole time, Thompson delivers it in such a soft way, creating an eerie and soothing melody.
Her vocals made this version comfortable, easy to listen to, relaxing and comforting. We’re sure that she managed to fight against some restless nights of many fans!
As it turns out, this is also one of two official Louisiana state songs.
Virginia Shehee, a businesswoman and politician from Louisiana, was the first to introduce legislation to make “You Are My Sunshine” the official Louisiana state song. We’re not surprised—the song is beautiful from the first note until the very end!
Thanks to Jasmine, it’s easy to feel that way—and we’re sure her 24 million YouTube viewers know what we’re talking about.
