Bring Me Sunshine is a light-hearted, catchy song written in 1966 and was first recorded by The Mills Brothers and then Willie Nelson. In the UK it was popularised by the comedy duo Morecambe and Wise who used it as their theme song. Although the lyrics are in many ways light-hearted, the message is still very poignant - it's an encouragement to us all to bring more love and light (sunshine) into our world. Similar sentiments are found in other songs of the era such as What the world needs now, All you need is love and Here comes the sun.
This arrangement would suit school and amateur choirs and is mostly in 2-parts with just some additional harmonies at the end, which are optional. The piano accompaniment includes the melody line but this can be omitted once the singers are confident. A separate vocal score is included for the singers. The change of key lifts the mood to a higher level, and throughout the singing style needs to be light, rhythmic and above all full of encouragement.
