In 1971 Bill Withers sang the hit song, “Ain’t No Sunshine.” He sang about a type of young woman that no longer exists. In the 1970s women were more feminine, respectable, worthy of adoration, less vain and confused.
Today, the same cannot be said of young women. In 2020, the song “Ain’t No Sunshine” would probably have the following lyrics:
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s home
It’s not warm until she’s away
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s home
And she’s always home too long
Wish young thing would go away
Don’t care where she’s gone
Hopes she’s gone to stay
Ain’t no sunshine until she’s gone
And this house is a miserable home
Wish young thing would go away
Thank God Bill Withers sang “Ain’t No Sunshine” in 1971.
