Lyrics:
I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Messages keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Springsteen’s mother, Adele, 97, is struggling with Alzheimer’s. “She can’t speak, she can’t feed herself, can’t stand up by herself, but she still smiles, she still has that dancing spirt”, he says. Springsteen opened up about his mother’s current health status during one of his acoustic “Springsteen on Broadway” shows, playing Dancing in the Dark for her.

Awesome! I feel like crying even more than when I hear Roy Orbison's "Crying". 😢

[@chriscaldwellvoiceovers]

Bruce himself would probably adore this. Really just superb in every way.

Какой у Эмили прекрасный голос! Очень сильный, выразительный и чувственный. Она прекрасная певица, НАСТОЯЩАЯ...

Just a guitar and your voice... and we heard a nice song. Thank you!

I love this cool slow ballad version. I also love her clear vocalisation.

[@freddyvlachos9732]

Emily is amazing! She takes a Bruce Springsteen tune with his grating voice and impulse energy and transforms it into a heart wrenching love ballad. What an astounding performer she is. Bravo Emily another fine achievement! Thank you, from the depths of my heart!

Thank you!!

[@jcollins377]

This is a very lovely interpretation of Dancing In The Dark. I am not sure you could call this a cover, not entirely anyway. You pretty much created an entirely new song, setting a new mood over the original in my opinion. My jaw dropped the first time I heard it. It still sends a delightful, yet wistful like chill through me when I still listen to it. Very well done indeed young lady.

[@bearron]

You look and sound beautiful in the dark and light. Dance 💃

[@EmilyLinge]

Oh thank you!

[@scottroder5516]

Great Video of a great song. I cannot wait to see and hear your videos.

Emily, your enunciation is as clear as any I've ever heard, and you've kept it that way as your other skills have grown.

[@MrHazelglen]

God's answer to misheard lyrics.

[@DrDennis]

Can hear every word without my HA. ❤

[@dallasstiles118]

Yeah, I hope ppl can appreciate her masterful playing and singing, the vocal agility and everything else too, plus the perfect blending of some syncopated parts.

[@Chinguenguenza]

Bruce is a misunderstood poet, partly because nobody can understand a word he says. This was beautiful. Bruce should hire her to sing all his songs.

[@terryyung7688]

I have become a big fan of Emily I hope she succeeds in everything she does but still keeps her innocence as she proceeds.

[@der.Meier_de]

Hey lady in black, it's always a pleasure to hear and see you! Many, many thanks

I'm almost 70. Heard that song million times. This first time I caught all the lyrics. So beautifully sung. I've recently listened to your Beatles renditions and loved them to. You're young, but no beginner. Persevere!

It's famously a dark song. The tempo of his version is kind of deceptive.

It's almost like every song she covers is a completely new song, but always refreshing somehow, almost like the song was originally hers, familiar, of course, but so distinct and from another dimension, so peaceful. :)

To see someone find what they love to do, have the talent and drive to achieve it , and the support from those around them to follow that path is a special thing to witness. Your light is shining bright.

[@carmenf.4630]

I love such covers when the singers infuse an existing song with a new sensuality...

[@raywood8187]

I feel like this is the way that this song should have been played, slowed down to really convey the meaning. I never thought I would shed a tear listening to a song I've heard Springsteen sing so many times! Not to disparage the Boss, just sometimes the meaning gets lost in making a song faster so that Courtney Cox can dance to it. 😂 And Emily, you have that amazingly down to earth voice that just allows people to connect to the words and feel the soul of the song. 😎

[@hjs112]

another great performance!!! Loved the slowed down version.
