I'm such a huge fan of the Norwegian band A-ha!
"Shadowside" is a single from their album Foot of the Mountain.
It was written by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy.
Lyrics:
The shadowside
You say I have
Is making everything
Go bad
You say I don't
Care enough
For all the things that
I have got
But I do
And I will
I don't want to see myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you ever let me go again,
In the shadowside I'll end
The shadowside
Where I go
I'm never where
I'm needed so
You say I don't
Give enough
That I don't care for
All I've got
But I do
And I will
I don't want to see myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you're letting go of me again
In the shadowside I'll end

⭐️⭐️👍 *Outstanding Total Talent!* 👍⭐️⭐️ Hi Emily! What a magnificent performance has been presented here, with your rendition of "Shadowside" by A-ah! There's nothing like having just you and the piano; as it always gives a raw focus of listening to your stunning voice! 😊 Our expectations are never disappointed, as once again your vocals are so irresistible and buttery smooth!! For the presentation you are casually attired in jeans and nice floral singlet top. We are greeted with a nice side-angle view of you for the piano intro then at 0:11 you begin; ♫ "The shadowside you say I have"♪. Your voice sounds stunning and there's a pleasant touch of reverb; plus the piano has been recorded in beautiful stereo! 🎹 Elvis Garagic has blended the song splendidly, by having your voice up front in mix. 🔊 🎧 As you sing the song; it's always impressive to note that you sing so flowing and effortlessly. You perform at such an elite level with ease! This is such gifted talent and it's astounding how you continually captivate us with your performances! 👍 At 0:39 it's interesting how you play with the pitch, singing the sustained notes of; ♫ "But I do~ and I will~"♪. Then at 0:50 there's a great video close-up as you demonstrate nice strong vocals with; ♫ "Myself descend"♪. Plus there's a wonderfully controlled sliding head-note at 0:57 of; ♫ "Into the shadowside"♪. Your voice has so much depth, that you easily express the emotion of the song in your performance. This song may be called "Shadowside", but you always give us the "Sunny-side", with your attractive versatile voice! 😃 At 1:14 some piano is featured, then later at 2:17 is a sample of stunning vocals with; ♫ "If you're letting go of me again"♪, and then fabulous singing at 2:39 with; ♫ "Yes I will"♪. The control of your vibrato is first class! At 2:46 is a side-angle view; as the song takes a brightened turn with you performing the piano solo. 🎹 You mentioned that Ovidio De Ferrari helped with the arrangement and you play it impeccably; but we are teased wanting more, as it sounds so lovely!!! 👏👏 Then at 3:02 you build the song now with more dynamics. Oh wow! your singing here gives goosebumps! As mentioned before, the strength and control in your voice is outstanding! However here you really demonstrate how stellar your golden vocals are! What a pleasure it is listening to you sing! 🤗 We see a piano close-up at 3:29, with a narrow depth-of-field for effect. Just love how the piano builds in this section, with you showing off your skills again! 👍 Then following this at 3:46 you sing; ♫ "In the shadowside I'll end"♪; and I admire that last piano chord to finish off the song! We wait a few seconds... then at 4:04 we are gifted by your big smile! 😁 What a way to complete this performance!! Well done❗️ _In conclusion..._ This cover is an outstanding sample of how stellar your presentations have become! You have the ability to bring a form of magical essence to your performances through the pure gift of your voice! *You are a natural performer!* You should be applauded for the continual level of your presentations. What top class singing! This rendition of "Shadowside" is outstanding! ✨ ⭐️✨ Congratulations dear Emily! Bravo! 👏 👏

[@adrianocortessantos68]

*How good it is to hear a performer who plays an instrument and prints her fingerprints on each song. Imitating is easy, doing things differently is complex and you, Emily, have personality. Thank you for existing and giving us this beautiful work.*

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you so much! It's my pleasure! 😊

It seems that you are introducing a lot of us to the band A-ha. It's always nice to hear new (to me) music and you perform it so well. Looks like Ovidio De Ferrari is doing a great job helping you with the piano arrangement. Thank-you for another great performance! 💖🎶🌹

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you so much!

[@iainbannerman1543]

I wasn't familar with this song until now. To me you gave a true and honest rendition of it. Thank you for that. Part of what I like about you and your channel is the fact you expose me to music I wouldn't normally hear. The other part is because I just love your songs.

[@norriewaters620]

Emily, Not heard this song before, but as always beautifully treated. Love listening to all your material... So easy to listen to and professionally presented.

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you!

[@dannymcqueen2965]

Thought I was a true a-ha fan back in the 80s but somehow I missed this one. Glad I got to hear you play it though. One song I did listen to a lot in the 80s was lost in your eyes by Debbie Gibson. Yes I did, I dropped a request. Please don't make me get on my knees. 😁

Another beautiful rendition of an a-ha song Emily, you are truly talented, I wonder if the band have listened to your interpretations of their songs, I’m sure they’d be very impressed. May I suggest to all your many fans who rightly praise you and who are unfamiliar with these fantastic songs, that there is a reason why you choose to sing a-ha’s compositions and why they sound so great…and this is no detraction from you, quite the opposite, but a-ha are simply a great band with a wonderful catalogue of original songs, and I recommend that they should go and listen to the originals performed by the band and the incomparable voice of Morten Harket.

Thank you! I love their music so much!
