How can you get the correct song on Apple Music?

How can you get the correct song on Apple Music? There are many songs that when you search for them go to play it isn’t the classic or “radio” version like for example the song ‘friends in low places’ has many cover artists but the traditional go to version by Garth brooks but when you go to play it on Apple Music it’s either under different artists or the one under Garth brooks doesn’t sound right at all. the link is the correct version and if you compare you’ll hear how wrong the Apple Music version is to the point where you can’t play the song because of how bad it sounds. Another example would be ‘one pair of hands’ which is a gospel song that’s also covered by an array of artists but the version the community plays on radio is the Elvis cover and that’s what’s been played everywhere for years and Elvis is on Apple Music and there are some of his covers like ‘hound dog’ that’s originally wrote and sang by Big Momma Thornton but they don’t even have any version of ‘one pair of hands’ by Elvis at all. So how can I get the correct version of the song on Apple Music because switching to YouTube for a song that’s not an edit nor a remix shouldn’t be and is not an option, I need the correct version on Apple Music.

Hello drayton138,

It sounds like the desired songs may not be available in the Apple Music catalog.

The "If a song isn't available in Apple Music" section of this link helps to note some reasons that may be the case: If your songs are grayed out - Apple Support

Some songs or albums might be grayed out because they're not currently available in Apple Music. Here are some reasons why:

•Artists and content providers might release some songs from an album in advance, but not all of them. If you add the entire album to your library, the songs will become available as they're released.

•Artists and content providers might change or remove music from the Apple Music catalog. Search Apple Music to see if that song is available under a different name or file. If it is, add the song to your library so it's no longer grayed out.

•The song might not be available in your country or region and will appear in gray text when you search for it in Apple Music.

•If an explicit song is grayed out, you might have restrictions turned on for your device. You can use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or Screen Time on your Mac to turn off restrictions. •You can also add the clean version from Apple Music to your library.

Cheers.
