Lyrics:
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Hi Emily! _(Mini-review)..._ ⭐️⭐️ 🏆 *Stunning and Magical!* 🏆⭐️⭐️ Is the only way to describe this astonishing performance!❗️What a way to start the New Year, than to hear this wonderful rendition of this famous song 'Imagine', by John Lennon. I was elated when I received your notification; as this was a song I requested; so a big thank you Emily! You will make so many people happy and uplifted with your performance here! It's absolutely awesome! 👍 The recording is so clean and pure; with a lovely stereo ambience on the piano! 🎹 Plus your vocals are captured so clean with such beautiful clarity and enunciation! Your voice is simply outstanding! The visuals and presentation is as always; impeccable and aesthetically brilliant. The lighting is perfect! You're impressive pale mauve suit jacket blends very classy in the recording setting with the Steinway & Sons grand piano and the Manley mic. Altogether this makes for a very smart and appealing video presentation! 🎥 Excellent work by your team! 😎 🎧 🔊 As soon as the song begins we are completely transfixed! We hear the much loved and recognizable piano intro to this masterpiece song! At 0:13 you start to sing and we are treated with your mesmerizing and gorgeous vocals! When you sing the line at 0:39; ♫ "Imagine all the people"♪, it totally blows us away, with the magic and emotional essence that is captured in your voice! Then with 0:45; ♫ "Living for today"♪; oh wow, how awesome are your vocals!! Then when you follow at 0:50 with; ♫ "Ah-ha--"♪; there is astonishing beauty in the sweetness of your voice. I'm not sure if it's "head-notes" or just you singing very high; but you have that majestic quality in your voice. It's so powerfully alluring; irresistible and tender. Totally awesome! 😃 You handle this song with such ease! I don't know how anyone could sing this song any better!!! 😊 There is no Phil Spector string production on this number (like the original); but only you and the piano! You have this unbelievable ability to capture the magic from this 1971 song and transform it so fresh and vibrant here to us today! This takes huge talent; and here you are giving it to us as a gift for 2021. 🤗 💕 At 0:52; ♫ "Imagine there's no countries"♪, (I could still envisage strings being introduced here); 🙂 but you have that powerful driving x-factor in your vocals, in the way you treat the melody, that is magnetic and raw in emotion! Plus you're giving us wonderful eye-contact throughout, as you convey the lyrics to us! Terrific! Plus we must remember that you are performing this "live" to us, as you play the piano! 🎹 🎤 Ahead a little further; one simply melts when you sing the line at 1:24: ♫ "Living life in peace; you-hoo--"♪, as you caress the melody and give lovely vibrato! Such enjoyable listening! Then at 1:31; ♫ "You may say, I'm a dreamer"♪; you put your own little flare on the way you sing the phrase; plus at 1:34, there's a tiny trill of piano notes, making this cover your own! Bravo! 👍 Speaking of the piano; you're playing beautifully! We are greeted at 1:53 with a wonderful video close-up of the piano. You put your own little touch of notes at 1:54. (clever and creative). You sing the line perfectly at 2:21 with: ♫ "Imagine all the people"♪. You work the camera superbly with, ♫ "sharing all the world, you-hoo"♪. When at 2:32, you sing; ♫ "you-hoo"♪, with a slight bit more dynamics than previously (1:28). Then at 2:34; ♫ "You may say, I'm a dreamer"♪; you sing compelling and excellently again (with sublime vibrato)! There is such control in your vocals Emily, you must be commended in this performance! Truly remarkable! 😊 At 2:58 is the nice close-up again and we are in for a surprise! Wow! a piano solo! 🎹 What a brilliant arrangement! It's pretty and absolutely beautiful and played so elegantly! Marvelous piano playing Emily! What a treat! Then you resume at 3:20 with; ♫ "You may say, I'm a dreamer"♪. The piano solo blends in so well and you were brave to introduce it into this epic song so successfully! I love it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ At 3:25 ♫ "But I'm not the only one"♪; is another line sung perfectly and confidently! Then 3:38; ♫ "And the world will live as one"♪, to finish off beautifully; but we are in for a bonus!! -- you play the signature piano riff of 'Imagine' again; but play up it up a few octaves! What a clever delicate touch to finish the performance! 👍 Then exactly on 4:00 minutes, we get your lovely trademark smile! 😁 Well done! _In conclusion..._ This cover of 'Imagine' is simply phenomenal. *Your rendition is a masterpiece of a cover!* The way you have treated the song, has been done with complete respect; without deviating and spoiling it with extra unexpected melodic frills! (like some people do). This would have to be one of the best covers of this epic song, that any artist has performed; and as said before; you have done it 'live' with just you and the piano!!! What an outstanding effort! If this performance presented to us here, was accompanied and backed by a produced soundtrack; you'd expect it to be on CD and played on the radio! 📡 🔊 Congratulations big-time!!! 😃 _Did you create that little piano solo yourself? It's brilliant!_

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you so much Steve! Happy New Year!! 🎉 Ovidio De Ferrari taught me the piano arrangement. I am so lucky and thankful for his help and expertise!

[@steveh7216]

You played it beautifully! 🎹 This is truly a magnificent cover! Bravo and a Happy New Year to you Emily!! 😊 🥂 🎉

[@bradtaggart5509]

Hi Steve, I wanted to just pop in to wish you a Happy New Year’s, and to thank you for all of the wonderful reviews you have written. It has been such a great learning experience for me. I did real well in college English Composition and similar courses, straight A’s, but that was many years ago, and without the specialized terminology and knowledge, none of that really matters. I appreciate you indulging me. I agree with everything you have said on this song as well, naturally. John was/is a personal hero of mine, and Emily, my favorite singer. I couldn’t have asked for a better combination. I actually have this gold album framed and hanging on my living room wall with John’s face and the words of this song laser etched into it! Anyway, I hope that you have a happy and healthy new year, and I look forward to reading more of your wonderful reviews in the future. ✌️🖖

[@steveh7216]

Hi Brad, thanks so much for your kind comments about my reviews and sharing a bit of insight into your background! I enjoy doing the reviews because Emily is so gifted and talented! My favorite band are The Beatles; so I hope in the future she is able to cover some more of their songs. Have a healthy safe Happy New Year! 😃 🎉

[@perrygrinno4161]

Steve, thank you for your wonderfully detailed and accurate review. You say so brilliantly what I and so many of us wish we could say, but couldn't even come close to doing so no matter how hard we try. Please know that your words are not just speaking for you alone, but undoubtedly echo and represent the sentiments of a great many more people as well! I hope that Emily knows this to be true. So please continue on with the great reviews you do!

[@howards8535]

The soul of John lives on. Beautifully done.

[@nomoreturningaway1459]

I just cannot help it. I keep coming back to this video time and time again. Imagine.

[@theodorelacroix5669]

John Lennon would be proud of Emily's rendition of I think what was his greatest song. Emily's done quite a number on it. Along with her exquisite piano playing.

[@wiil667]

When you look at the camera you acknowledge the world as your audience. Bravo Emily Bravo.

[@philtietje4363]

She has a wonderful voice and it's refreshing to see a younger person keeping the old music alive.

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you!

Great interpretation: voice, piano, diction...everything.

[@larryroeth1504]

Emily Linge is singing a CAPTIVATING PERFORMANCE of IMAGINE. as soon as she started singing, I stopped everything I was doing to listen to her sing. We are witnessing a superstar in the making. Keep bringing us your beautiful voice. Thank you.

[@kkchow4684]

Thank you for music and song we love,you make us feel young again

[@prabhasray4662]

Had John Lenon alive,he would have given you a heap of praise which you rightly deserve.

[@imamatdalimunthe]

I remember asking you to play Another Day (Mc Cartney) and Imagine (John Lennon) few days ago. Now I found you have played this masterpiece with a crystall clear voice. So many songs you played are what stuffed me during my youth. Thanks so much to take me back to the days where life was so much simpler. Imagine no Mobile Phone, No Wifi, No Internet.....

[@mattflumerfelt]

You have a rare talent imo. Carry on, be yourself; don't let success keep you from following your heart!🙂💕💪

[@nicoleyap6070]

I can't believe I've never heard of this young lady. She's amazing!!! I get chills listening to her. She's blessed and so talented.

[@matthewsmile121]

I've noticed the last 3 songs have got a lot of views a lot faster. More people are finding Emily. Emily you make dealing with this covid thing a little easier. Your voice your smile. Thanks. Just be you 😇

[@jaytribett2818]

Emily I grew up with The Beatles in my teenage yrs. and the way that you can perform their lovely music is truly amazing you lovely vocals are so crystal clear and sweet honey.

[@wolfgangbecker817]

Thanks. Greetings from Germany with sunshine today!

I hope that Emily has a humidifier on that beautiful piano. Pianos stay in tune longer with a humidifier on it

[@joethecomputerguy1]

I've listened and watch quite a few of your videos now. I like the lighting and mix on this one the best so far.

[@danruhl8538]

You sing this song so beautiful, Cool cat dan 💞💞💞💞

[@LarryB15]

Beautiful. Clean and Simple. Your sweet voice and gentle piano is so much more enjoyable than over vocalised / over orchestrated versions. It is so frustrating that most other singers feel they have to 'improve' a song by adding unneccesary clutter.

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you so much 😊 Happy New Year!!

[@stanibol]

Ditto

[@Onthemove6801]

Emily, your performances are far better than any of us have given you credit for. They're all star-studded and this John Lennon covèr tops them all.

John Lennon would be honored that you covered Imagine. Tremendous performance. I would call the way you dress here "professional." I like it. Another very nice cover.

[@bulisis]

You still me cry when i listen to to this, ohh, you do it so well !!!

[@JavierLopez-rj7tm]

Imagine... the pace, the love, lovely... etc

[@johnwayne4072]

Emily,you did a great job on this song. It's the first time I really listened and heard all the words. I sure hope you don't believe the message in this song. It would never be as the song sings that it would be. I'm glad there is a heaven and I want to be there someday and I hope you do too. Love your amazing talent.

[@skeeterburr3212]

I am 58 years old and I have heard my share of singers throughout my life. To me great music is spiritual! You have a blessed gift from God, your voice is special for it reaches my heart and I feel like I am going to float on cloud nine with angels all around me. You are in the midst of heavenly angels and we sing together in my dream and you shine. Maybe that sounds crazy to you, but you have a great gift, a talent. Thank you for sharing your talent. :-) I wonder if you know how good you are, may God shine on you! :-) Have a great new year! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Your parents must be proud. I am proud of you.

[@EmilyLinge]

Happy new year!

[@Queenfan1989]

It gave me a little tear in my eye. This was amazing. Lennon has left the world too soon, but at least he did leave behind a lot of good music and some very important messages, like this one. Let us hope that that view of his will become reality some day. Let us imagine it first and then make it come true. Happy new year to you, your family and dear ones, Emily. Let's make this year a great one :) Hopefully your career will continue on this foot and you'll get many viewers (or better said, listeners). PS: I still love the Beatles behind you, which makes it even better in this song, seeing Paul and George watching over you ;)

[@geri0756]

Wunderschön und zauberhaft.
