Lyrics:
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said,
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
Within the sound of silence

Hi Emily! _(Mini-review)..._ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ *Sound Of Brilliance!* ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Defines the title better in this very appealing and luscious performance of Sound Of Silence! Once again your vocals are outstanding! What a terrific song for you to cover by Simon and Garfunkel. Singing this song gives you the opportunity to show us the tenderness in your captivating voice! 😊 The song starts with a nice visual presentation of you in a beautiful dress and playing a tender piano introduction on your Steinway & Sons grand piano! 🎹 Your playing is elegant; precise and it's lovely! The stereo recording of the piano is top notch also! 👍 Soon after the song starts is a nice close up at 0:20, as you sing: ♫ "Because a vision softly creeping"♪. Then following with; ♫ "Left its seeds while I was sleeping"♪. Your singing is pure beauty! The vibrato in your voice is so well controlled. Throughout the whole song you execute the texture and control in your vocals so professionally! 🎤 Bravo! At 0:40; you finish the first verse tenderly with: ♫ "Within the sound of silence"♪. In the second verse 0:49; ♫ "Narrow streets of cobblestone"♪, is such beautiful perfection in your singing! Then I'm left speechless, as I listen to the rest of the verse! Emily; did I ever tell you, that you have golden vocals?! Your voice is so irresistible! It's gorgeous and we're only part-way into the song! 😲 Just to pause for a moment and comment on the technics of the audio: The recording of the vocals is nice and crisp. (though around 6k is quite prevalent). I like how the recording is nice and dry with no effects which gives a "closeness" sound to the listener. Though in saying this, as an experiment, I had a listen to your vocals with reverb added. It was surprising how awesome your voice was and how it changed the mood of the song considerably to a kind of "distant atmospheric feeling" for the Sound Of Silence! 🌼🌷🌱 Technically it was an interesting observation; however I'm still so glad your Mum Christine, records you with a dry mix! (just a bit of fun audio talk there!) 🔊 🎧 Now back at 1:18 with a nice video edit, you play some delicate piano.🎹 From about this point at 1:24; ♫ " And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people maybe more"♪; you seem to become a bit more animated as you're getting into the song! 👩‍ 🎤 In fact the whole third verse is sensational singing! Wow! The vocal line at 1:43 with: ♫ "People writing songs that voices never share"♪; is quite exceptional indeed!❗️ Getting back for a moment to 1:24, we know that this is _'live'_ with just you and the piano; but just imagine at 1:24 with: ♫ "And in the naked light I saw"♪, at that point the introduction of strings and harmonies! It would be magic if you were doing a soundtrack recording! (or you had the opportunity to do this with Sina & co would have been awesome!) 😃 With this Simon & Garfunkel song, I'm so used to hearing the original version with harmonies; that I thought perhaps one day, you could sing along to an overdub backing track! (though I'm not sure if you like that idea?) Now at 1:58 there's a little piano break; then at 2:03 "wow!" with that chord you hit; as the song goes up a tone. (I like the way you did your little piano arrangement here to achieve this!). That change of chord strikes the listener to sit up and listen! Now singing in a higher key, you still managed to sing the line at 2:23 ♫ "But my words like silent raindrops fell"♪, effectively and pure, without the need to use head-notes (or falsetto). I really like it when you use dramatics like this and take the opportunity to use some dynamics as you did. Actually I'd love to hear you cover a song that has plenty of dynamics; as I don't think you realize how good you are! 👍 The voice you have at your age is quite staggering, that it even surpasses many commercial singers!!! When you are Blessed with a gift; you know you have it! 💕 As you now move into the fifth verse (2:40); you can feel the "lift" you put into the song with: ♫ "And the people bowed and prayed"♪. As said before; how awesome to hear your performance here to a soundtrack! It would be mind-blowing! The massive emotional movement of sound could be incredible. I could just envisage another collaboration video! However, to pull off what you are doing here live with just you and the piano, is really showing off just how gifted and talented you are! Plus your voice is addictive! This song was a "walk in the park" with your vocal range! You made it look so easy! 😎 _In conclusion..._ There's superb singing at the end of the song; with some nice dynamics at 2:59 with; ♫ "And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls"♪; (which incidentally sounds awesome with reverb). Plus following there's a georgous line at 3:09 with: ♫ "And whispered in the sound"♪, with the emphasis on the way you sing "sound" so tenderly, is so beautiful and tranquil. 😊 Such adorable singing! Then we get a nice little smile at 3:27 as you finish! Just as a point of interest, it would be great to see a couple more camera close-ups like at 0:20 in your videos; as you present visually very pleasantly and we get to see the emotional expressions you put into your playing! So dear Emily; you've done another *Sensational Stunning Performance!* There's no area of weakness in this wonderful cover! You just keep getting better and continually excel, with your remarkable talent as an artist and a performer! Well done!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ _PS: A couple of quick questions:_ Are there any more collaborations in the near future and can you tell us what song you plan on next, or is it a surprise? I hope you enjoyed this review! 🤓

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you once again for taking the time to write a lovely review! I appreciate it very much 😊

[@bradtaggart5509]

Another stellar review Steve. Man, I wish that I had your silver tongue! Of course I agree with everything that you wrote, and I too believe that her voice is gorgeous. That’s the best word I’ve been able to use myself, other than angelic. It was a beautiful dress too, and I suppose I should have mentioned that also, but my brain tends to freeze up at the time I’m writing, and all I can think about is how beautiful the music is. I’ve already listened to this piece probably twenty times or more. It’s sensational. Thanks again for the lesson in the perfection of review writing! 😁

[@steveh7216]

Hi Emily! Thank you for your nice reply! There's such a vast amount of positive comments already, so you should be feeling very proud of your stunning performance! It's not easy to get so many compliments on a song that's covered by so many artists. Well done! You deserve it! 😊

[@steveh7216]

Hi Brad! Thank you for taking the time to read my reviews! I'm very humbled by your kind words. Yes, the words gorgeous and sensational, describe her voice and performances very well. I'm looking forward to another collaboration in the future; though her raw solo performances like this one here are pure gems! 😃

[@paultraceyfam8871]

@SteveH today I watched Sina's cover and heard this young lady's piano playing and singing and I thought wow what a beautiful voice. After the song was over I immediately came over to her channel I looked through her videos and picked this song to listen to I'm glad I did. So I subbed to her. I read your review and loved how you broke the song down on her singing and playing. Was a great review. Thank you

[@DrumCoversbyBill]

What a beautiful song and cover. You have an incredible talent. Thank you for sharing.

[@jean-lucput3429]

A young natural voice, pure, without turning buttons in a studio, no effects at all.

[@fanspickstars01]

Emily, it was a complete pleasure to listen to such a wonderful artist such as yourself. Stardom is waiting for you because you have it all and it sounds so wonderful. The thing I love best about your voice is the beautifully deep richness in your voice it's like velvet. I hope you enjoy your future as much as I can see you love your craft, also you are a talented musician. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents. 🌷🌟🌷🌟

[@mikedenmark4532]

[@alejandropalma4815]

I love how you play the piano and sing at the same time

[@khangvutien2538]

What I admire is how sober the cover is. No excessive effects, just the plain melody notes, placed accurately on the musical scale with a faultless voice. Excellent technique to the service of art

[@TheBodhisattvaWisdom]

Thank you. Perhaps, one of the most covered songs ever. You put your own mark on it.. Beautiful.

[@davidbarrett1487]

Hi Emily. Another stellar performance. Your voice is beautiful and so NATURAL, with just the right vibrato. Your diction and vocal clarity is perfect, with every word crystal clear. Yours is definitely a voice I could listen to all day long. With the bonus of controlled keyboard skills, you have it all, and deservedly so.

[@roberthennick8658]

[@elliyahugenesove9777]

Your sweet smile at the end is so enchanting

[@rosco-eweysson4855]

This a tough song to sing, because there are so many great versions out there. It takes courage and no little skill to step up and perform it - and to own it. I was impressed by your take on it Emily, you are continuing to improve in all aspects of your "art" as shown in your mastery of the piano - it is as equally impressive - well done you! 😍😘😎

[@tjvanpopta]

You have an exguisite taste in music young lady. All the great stuff i grew up on. I feel very fortunate to have been on this earth during a time when music was something profound and magical. Glad to hear that young musicians today can appriciate the good old stuff ! Well done.

That's a very special adaption of this song! It's all your own style and it is very good!

I just discovered this wonderful singer about a week ago. I’ve been extremely impressed not only with her voice, but also by the great taste that she shows in song selections to cover.

[@damynnbrazildelunar3062]

Me too....

[@stanleyparkin7718]

Me too what a fantastic singer love it

[@Queenfan1989]

Beautiful. Absolutely brilliant. Your voice really fits the song. It's hard as well, since Simon and Garfunkel are artists that like clean vocals. You've certainly managed that very well :)

[@bobconaway]

Hi Emily! Hope you're having a good week. Yet another of those songs special to me. Many good memories. Your singing and playing were very, very nice! Thanks so much. :))

[@jclowersitc4866]

Emily, I had chills up and down my spine with that singing. You voice was so strong, and full of the emotion of this great song. The piano playing was so wonderful too. I especially loved the opening. It is obvious how much you put into your training, practicing, and performing. Thank you so much.

Wow, Emily! That was so beautiful, and incredible! This song has been covered many times and in many different ways, yet, you bring your own unique style to it. I have never heard it sung quite like this before. Your voice and the range you display in this song really sets it apart. And you sing it so effortlessly. It gives me chills hearing you sing it. And the way you play the piano too... I absolutely love this! ❤️❤️
