Lyrics:
People say I'm crazy
Doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"
People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?"
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me, as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

⭐️⭐️👍 *A Magnificent Performance!* 👍⭐️⭐️
Hi Emily! I just adore this song of John Lennon's and you've given it justice with this fantastic rendition presented here! You've managed to impact and retain the emotion with your wonderful performance and clever arrangement. Plus your vocal phrasing and expression in your singing is impeccable and is quite moving!! 🤗 Also, you have even added a nice touch with your Beatles T-Shirt! Love it!
The story behind the song is when John was referring to his break from music; before the award winning Double Fantasy album. So the song has certain sentimental values to a lot of people and you have made this version absolutely beautiful. Your smooth golden voice has captured every essence and you have delivered it wonderfully! 👏👏 The recording as per standard is superb with the stereo piano and your vocals on the Manley mic! Plus the mix is excellent thanks again to Elvis Garagic. 🔊 🎧
As mentioned prior, your arrangement is clever and creative! Take for example early at 0:24; ♫ "Well they give me all kinds of warnings"♪, with the little run of notes! Brilliant! 🎹 Your visual animation is sincere, as you're conveying the song! You can tell you really mean and hang onto every lyric! Such admirable performing!❗️ At 0:42 is a sample of stellar singing with; ♫ "Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game"♪. The way you sustain "game~~" and add vibrato is magnificent! 😊
More brilliant phrasing and expression at 1:09 with; ♫ "Designed to enlighten me"♪. It's worth mentioning through-out this performance, that your piano playing is impeccable; whilst you are singing live! Pure talent! 🏆 There's a nice full view of the Steinway & Sons grand piano at 1:13; with excellent positioning of the camera! There's even the creativity of your reflection in the lid. (Bravo Christine!) Your white Beatles T-shirt is also a great contrast to the black body of the piano. 👩 🎹
More terrific vocal sustain & vibrato at 1:27 with; ♫ "On the ball~~"♪. With a lovely touch on the piano added! Simply adore the expression at 2:08; ♫ "Oh people asking questions"♪. At 2:38 you give splendid camera work with; ♫ "As if I've lost my mind"♪. Plus stellar expression at 3:13 with; ♫ "I just had to let it go"♪; and at 3:24 with; ♫ "I just had to let it go"♪. Such class and style; then you finish off with a well awaited smile at the end! 😁
Emily; people fall in love with your voice! It has so many wonderful attributes! It's irresistible; gorgeous; silky smooth and lush in texture! Not to mention your astounding lower register! What a package! What a gifted voice! 🤗 💕 This presentation here is an *absolute gem of a performance!!* You should be very proud, as this is truly outstanding work! What a knock-out performer!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bravo! 👏 👏
_PS: I'm so glad you love The Beatles!!_ 😃
Thank you so much! 🤗
@@EmilyLinge You're welcome Emily! Great performance!! 👍
There is nothing, really nothing to add. 👏👏👏
Agree 100% Brilliant cover!!
The vocals and piano play in a way that John out there somewhere behind the stars is sure to be happy with!
One of my favorite Lennon songs not easy to cover you did it well . I think John was trying to tell us never let anyone step on your dreams . I'm sure John would be happy with it 👏👏👏✌️🙏♥️ Rip John
Another magnificent rendition of a very difficult song to play and sing at the same time all from memory. If one listens closely to the timing of the notes and chords in conjunction but as opposed to the singing you will appreciate this girl's talents. For me, this is one of John Lennon's best compositions and most complicated rhythms. Mesmerizing Emily. You do this masterpiece justice. Love and respect.
To cover of ALL songs this 1 you choose as 1 to do. This is a masterpiece it takes a VERY high standard of skills to come close to getting it good. YET you absolutely did yourself & this song along with Mr Lennon VERY proud by the use of your AMAZING skills 100% respect young lady !
Thank you!
Why are you one of my favorite young artists? Because you are fearless. You take on songs that nobody else does and you do them with the ease of a groomed professional. Keep on singing young lady and I'll keep on smiling.
Glad you like them! Thank you!
I'm sure John is listening to this and loving it wherever he is. Beautiful cover. Amazing how you play the piano as well. Great job. One day people will be covering your songs on CZcams.
Thank you very much!
SOMEONE SHOULD D.M. PAUL MCCARTNEY SO HE CAN! IS THAT A GOOD IDEA OR WHAT?
Being a life long Beatles fan, I love when I see today's youth showing an interest in their music. You, Sina, Chiara, the MonaLisa Twins, just to many a few. Keep up the great work.
A piano and a girl with a true talented voice , makes music art magic.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
I alwaya wait for that little smile at the end, cute!!
😁
An angelic smile.
I am SO HAPPY to find a lovely, talented young lady performing the music that I love!! God Bless!!
Never heard anyone else try this cover and I loved it !!! I just love to watch Linge magic rock and roll.
With young people like you, music is in good hands. Another beautiful cover. When you do your world tour start with Australia,
Lennon suits you so much ❤️
Thank you so much Chiara 🤗
Thanks for keeping John Lennon's musical legacy alive Emily. Love the t-shirt too!
Your covers will help his music live forever, Emily! Love your choice to wear a Beatles shirt for this performance.
Very nicely done, Miss Emily!
This is one of the few songs that can sometimes make me emotional. John would be proud.
You are not just singing; you are telling a story too. Truly amazing Emily!
That is what music suppose to be..but now aday main steam music is not telling any story.
Emily that was beautiful. As a lifelong John Lennon and Beatles fan that is one of my favorite songs off of the album Double Fantasy. Thank you so much for doing it and doing it so beautifully. All the best to you!
So good to hear that when I just arrive at work
Young lady,,,,,, THANKYOU!!!! You are wonderful! And such a beautiful voice!!!
I was almost ready to shut my computer down and noticed this on my feed. What a wonderful way to end my day! Your interpretation is unique and done very well. Thank you!
Emily, That was just beautiful I’m sure John would love your version your playing and singing where beautiful He wrote some great songs after the Beatles broke up and this is one of my favorites a wonderful performance It’s 2 am in America where I live I saw the notification and I just had to hear it just awesome thank you 👏👏👍👍❤️❤️🎹🎹🎤🎤
This is my favorite John Lennon songs and you did it fantastically.
歌声もいいけど、ピアノ演奏もシンプルで素晴らしい!!是非日本に来て、大好きなジョンのこの曲を歌って下さい‼待ってるよ。
Absolutely amazing Emily 👏🏼💐 I honestly believe John would be so proud 💜well done
It's even more emotional listening to some of his songs, given what happened. This is one of them. The album had been released less than a month before he was killed and the song was played a lot after that. Thank you for this wonderful rendition. Indeed, may his music live on forever!
John Lennon was one of the greatest talents in the music world this is a great version of this classic song, you are a very talented young lady.
Emily you are a talented young lady. A lot of John Lennon's songs are littered with flats and sharps so timing is essential with this song and YOU NAILED IT! Estupendo!
I’m gonna admit I just loved Beatles songs since pandemic because no one introduce me the beatles, I just try and explore them in spotify and I’m thankful because their songs made my teenage years better
Listening here in Brazil, at 3:07 am, ending the night well. Thanks !
I swear this girl is manifesting the great pop songwriters of modern history. She captures the essence of so much from the great era of rock, She nails it.
Thank you for doing honor to these songs created before you were born. I bought my daughter that same t-shirt when she was 14. I appreciate the clarity of your voice. Very beautiful!
Thanks for listening
JL is a tough act to follow, but you did him proud, Emily…
Good morning yet again my little songbird! This has been such a fantastic week! Waking up to a slice of Heaven with my coffee so many times. I am a lucky man. This is beautiful Emily, just an absolutely beautiful performance. John knew what was important in life. He was one of my personal heroes. I know that he’s smiling if he’s watching this. I believe that even at your age, you understand what the important things are in life, and that’s going to take you far. You’re amazing young lady, and your smile always goes straight to my heart. 💕♾🌹🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏👏Many thanks to your Mum and Elvis for the excellent sound and video. 🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏
Many thanks Brad! 😊
BRAVO!! This kind of effort is the only way the best music ever written will stay alive across generations!!
As a huge fan of John Lennon I have to say this is one of the most beautiful covers of one his songs I've ever heard.

Another great cover. It's a shame Lennon himself didn't even see this album released himself and can't hear this beautiful cover. But if he was able to hear it, he'd be very happy to hear such a lovely version of it :)
One of your best Emily. 👍👍
Emily ,Emily, Emily. You never fail to surprise me. Marvelous is a good word to describe your talents. Uplifting is what your musical performance is to me.. I'm soon going to run out of vocabulary to describe your videos- we should all have such problems. You prove that one can improve on perfection
Thank you 😊
Well, this is another song I have not heard before.....and you as usual did a great performance. How in the world can you pack all of these melodies, lyrics and piano notes of so many songs that you've memorized into that awesome brain of yours? It boggles my mind....
I love the piano piece in that song and you do great work playing and singing it Emily. As soon as you started the first bar on the piano I know it immediately!
Awesome, Emily !!!!!!!!!!
This is my favorite of all your songs, you did a perfect performance vocally, not to mention your piano playing.

I think this one is pretty special. I can’t wait to hear your original.
*Congratulations on your totally refined music choices, of the best quality. John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Emily Linge, impeccable trio.*
Thanks for listening
@@EmilyLinge, hearing you is an eternal pleasure, Emily. Thank you for your art in my life.
Very, very nice. I haven’t heard that song for years and I really enjoyed listening to you play and sing it. Well done Emily.
Awesome! I love everything about his cover. Love the attitude. Well done, young lady!
A rarely covered John Lennon song, but you nailed it. John would have been so proud. If ever you get the chance you must play at The Cavern in Liverpool where you would feel at home with Beatles music. Regards, Mick.
The way you cover songs by john Lennon, Paul McCartney ....like you've been listening to them since the Beatles era, is simply awesome, and then you add your own interpretation....outstanding to say the least.
Great job, and so nice to see you finding a song like that to cover. Respect
Wow! Every day better. Congratulations!
Thank you Emily. That rendition was brilliant!
Emily!!! You captured the spirit of this Lennon song which was recorded when he was a househusband after his 2nd son was born! With your powerful, crystal clear voice I love your version as much as his!!! Love your falsetto!! Thank you!!!
😊 Thank you
The more I listen to you doing this song, the more I appreciate your progress. This is a home run.
So many different music styles, so many different looks, how can you not continue to grow a worldwide audience? The mystery of the truly charismatic.
♫I just had tooOOOooooOOOOoOOOo let it go♫
